I’m still looking at the boden gold swimsuit here. It’s slightly too big I think but i might risk it

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 have bags in other colours (mulberrys), but don't have a smart black bag.

Those boots are lovely if only they had a pointed and not square toe :(

I’ve placed my first order with beauty pie. They have an offer of free membership and everything at member prices for 60 days. Going to give a few bits a try then cancel.

I’ve also stocked up on bum bum cream from boots and some leggings from sweaty Betty. I’ve bought leggings from them before in the sale but then lost lots of weight. They were very comfy but no longer fit :(

Thanks, @Heyhoherewegoagain and @Rattenbury !

I bought the North Face thermoball slippers and am sorely tempted by some wedged converse

I cracked (again) and bought 2 Anglepoise lamps (a floor standing one and a mini one that you can charge so it's cordless). Do I need lamps? No. But I wanted them. (I have ADHD and when the hyperfocus is shopping related, it can be brutal).

Nothing. Until someone suggested a travel tote which I couldn't resist. It was £100+ but about £80 in the sale but out of stock. Found it on another site and with new customer discount I got it for £69. Turns out I really wanted that bag (that I didn't know existed two hours ago 😂)!

Can you please share a link?

Mum2three63 · 03/01/2024 06:18

I got that for my dil for Christmas, was £42 then, she didn't comment on it not even thanks

I just ordered an Issey Miyake Pleats Please tunic that was reduced significantly in the Liberty sale. I love Pleats Please and wear the dresses a LOT. So I'm pretending to myself that it's an investment (when really I just had the urge to shop).

clpsmum · 03/01/2024 22:28

@AllTheChaos if not heard of them before. I had a look and didn't find anything I liked enough to buy

lunepremiere79 · 03/01/2024 23:11

I am tempted, what's your method for freezing and defrosting? 😊

I’ve bought some riding clothes and a jumper from Holland Cooper. I did have a basket at joules but decided I was only buying it because it was in the sale and stepped away (I think this is personal growth).

Oooh what did you get from HC?

I couldn't spend that much on stable clothes cos they'd be covered in shit, shavings, horse hair and hay and probably ripped within the first hour of wear 😂

Olindia · 06/01/2024 20:41

I bought a base layer and breeches, I try to keep some stuff nice for when I’m going to clinics and stuff. I do swear by their breeches though, my comp breeches are HC and I bought them last year in the sale for half price, but I am a 12-14 and they are definitely the most flattering that I own.

Cargo trousers from Baukjen. They were my favourite buy from last summer and are reduced to £40.

Looking for a slouchy black jumper - there's one in Hobbs but even in the sale, it's still over £100.
