I’m still looking at the boden gold swimsuit here. It’s slightly too big I think but i might risk it [[https://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/halterneck-ruched-swimsuit-gold-lame/sty-s0325-gld https://www.boden.co.uk/en-gb/halterneck-ruched-swimsuit-gold-lame/sty-s0325-gld]]

I just ordered a 5kg ham from Fortnums reduced from £165 to £70. Bought one last year, it freezes perfectly if sliced! Makes wonderful ham and eggs and chips!

This is such a random one but I love it 😂

I was considering a lovely greige ribbed cashmere jumper from JL own-brand, down to £57, but realised I'm practically always too hot for cashmere hence I hardly ever wear the two I have 🙄

I bought a Hush sweatshirt down to £35, which I know I'll get years of wear out of (I wear their sweaters to death) and some lovely advent bunting with embroidered numbers on and little pockets, so you can fill them yourself - I'm really pleased with it! God I'm middle-aged 😂

AnnieMare · 30/12/2023 15:12

Not found anything to buy yet.

Looking for an ironing board and new underwear ( not to use together….😆)

More Style than Beauty but I just bought this beautiful Bugatti kettle from Selfridges - reduced to £150.

https://www.selfridges.com/GB/en/cat/bugatti-jacqueline-kettle_R00047354/

I love a fancy kettle. My previous one was from Porsche so at least I'm consistent. 😂

Selfridges just cancelled my order. They can't find the stock. No fancy kettle for me after all. 😥

@totalnamechanger my son (then about 19) named the NuFace my face dildo. Could never really use it after that!

Bearpawk · 30/12/2023 17:11

Bought a lovely toast dressing gown that I'd been eyeing up for ages, about half price, couldn't believe my luck!

BangingOn · 30/12/2023 18:36

I have ordered way, way too much but I’ve lost 4 stone this year so hardly anything fits and I’ve had a decent bonus from work.

Can anyone find me a beautiful cashmere coat on size 18. Something beautiful, the Reiss one would have done but not in my size. Classic and elegant.

I hate it when that happens. But you can buy a smeg instead now 😆

Britpopbaby · 30/12/2023 20:02

@Mangolover123 only one left!
I found this at John Lewis & Partners. What do you think?

@Cyclingmummy1 I just ordered a Smeg from John Lewis. Let's see if turns up or if I'm destined to stick with my trusty Magimix. 😛

DanceMumTaxi · 30/12/2023 21:21

I’ve got some new pyjamas and work dresses from JL. Some bought in store, others ordered online. One was out of stock but apparently there are two available today so I’ve ordered one. Not sure if it’ll turn up though. Really hope it does, it’s my favourite one.

AllTheChaos · 30/12/2023 23:00

Is there anywhere that small-busted ladies recommend for underwear? Specifically for bras? That is having a sale so it’s not too expensive to try? Following drastic weight loss I have gone from a comfortable D cup to a AAA and have no idea where to even start! No support requirements these days, just an attempt not to look (and I am quoting my DM’s description of me at Christmas) ‘completely flat chested, utterly and totally boobless’ (thanks, Mum…)

AllTheChaos · 30/12/2023 23:02

@clpsmum - cripes - I haven’t bought from Piglet for a few years as their stuff lasts forever and I’ve been skint, it’s got so expensive!

JulesJules · 31/12/2023 08:51

I've ordered next year's stocking mugs from Anthropologie (half price) and that's it so far. I already bought a v bargainous jacket before Christmas after a tip off on here, £75, usually £290 on their own website https://www.didriksons.com/en/women/jackets/winter-jackets/filippa-women-s-jacket-2-504834-060

These Grenson shoes. I can only really justify them in the sale and I know I'll get loads of wear out of them.

Have also bought some Sweaty Betty leggings and running bra. Eying up Passenger fleeces as I'd like a more casual coat, but we will see. I have a birthday early Jan...

A pair of Monica Vinader earrings that I’ve been considering for a while, last night https://www.monicavinader.com/flow-medium-hoop-earrings/gold-vermeil-flow-medium-hoop-earrings-gold?set_country=GB&currency=GBP&noredirect=&tiles=1&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_brand_new_uk&campaignid=19965119248&accountid=9843173532&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAv8SsBhC7ARIsALIkVT2H54t7dryHojIuVPdpv7diyrDJshuMUHXpbuxOUQ2gaism-0QnkXsaAhhvEALw_wcB

I’m in the same boat as you following weight loss-I now swear by Victoria’s Secret (and have picked up a lot of BNWT on Vinted!)

measureofmydreams · 31/12/2023 10:00

I picked up these in M&S yesterday in silver, not black for £25. I'll wear them with long skirts. https://www.marksandspencer.com/leather-kitten-heel-chisel-toe-ankle-boots/p/clp60627156?color=SILVER#intid=pid_pg1pip48g4r2c2|prodflag_New

I'm looking for ....
a tote bag for work to fit a 15..6 laptop (I commute 1-2 days a week) and stuff. I'm thinking about this ( the plain black is sold out sadly). https://www.ospreylondon.com/the-primrose-hill-italian-leather-tote-black-croc

A smart black bag that I can use shoulder and cross body and can't decide between

I keep seeing a lot of ads online for a brand called Pepper that caters specifically to smaller sizes - no experience of using them though as yet
