I have about £30 to spend on me.
I am size 20ish, veyr large norked, SAHM, normally wear long skirts/jeans with v neck tops.
Would like something that could do park/playgroup/school run as well as housestuff.
Too much choice!
Pick a few things for me to choose from!

This got good review off mumsnet so I have ordered a few as bargain but not seen yet. Would prob be better for summer than winter by all accounts.

I also ordered some of these though I'm waiting to see what they are like re size and allegedly bobbly-prone/delicate fabric.

I also ordered this as even more reduced.

The henley top is only in boring grey, I do like that twisted top thing.
Not too keen on the plimsolls, but I do like that kaleidoscope top...but DH and DD1 don't

the twisted top

Like argh and paula say lots of recommended them. If you are a true size 20 they may not fit you - I am an 18 in the arms/shoulders/waist but buy the 20 because of my 36J norks. The line still doesn't fit under them but it fits under the largest part of the boob so has a slimming effect.

I ordered 3 when they were £14.50 and have ordered a further 4 when they were reduced to £8.50. The teal is a really nice greeny/blue, very deep and rich and the damson is a lovely vibrant colour. I use them for layering and they're a little low-cut with my giant norks so I wear them with a camisole under too.

the wallet it's really good quality and a bargain at £14.50 - I paid full price for the union jack one and it's great and have ordered a spare blue one in the sale.

Right, have 2 of those tops now, but the wallet is only available in the spotty, boo.
Still got £15 left!

Lots of those tops you posted are oos on 20 paula, not that I am ignoring your advice! I really appreciate it!

I do like that ruffle cardy though I don';t think I could pull off gold and I don't like red...
