Ok i have done some damage this evening!
Firstly as I left the gym I remembered there is a Tesco not far from there so I made a quick dash. Women's section was very small BUT they had the star jumper. It was €23 so a bit of a mark up from the £18 but manageable. I got a 14 as the 12s were far too short for me. The sleeves are big but I reckon for a throw-on cosy knit this winter it will be perfect. Thanks again for the tip!
Then on brandalley I got a 20 off 80 referral so I got the star trainers (I have lusted after these for a long time) and a love jumper (pink on grey).
I have to stay off this thread for a while now. Seriously. I have no will power.
