Worth queuing to grab a bargain.

Ssh it's a great offer but don't tell anyone.

Thermal vests can be pretty as well as practical.

I have just discovered the wonderful range of face products from the New Zealand company, Parrs.

You can find some really nice cashmere jumpers and cardigans only one aisle away from the fruit and veg in Sainsburys.

Sometimes you come across the perfect outfit but the fit is not quite right.

Would you notice if your bust was suddenly lopsided?

I paid a visit to what must be one of the smallest changing rooms in the country. The House of Fraser in Dudley have what can only be described as a broom cupboard for you to try on clothes from their Linea range.

While I was waiting in the queue to try on some bras in M&S the lady in front asked if she could be measured. She was told you now have to book an appointment to be measured and the next one was in 3 hours could she come back.

Normally I play it safe when it comes to underwear and always opt for a practical bra that I can wear under most of my tops without it looking bulky. But there I was standing in M&S with two bras in my hand, one was practical and very boring but I knew I would get a lot of wear out of it and the second which had the label fun and flirty, was cream with pink polk a dots and some frilly pink lace.

Twice a year I go clothes shopping with my husband. First in January when he has some Christmas money to spend, and then in June just after his birthday. Quite how I ended up with a man who has so little interest in what he wears or buys is a mystery to me.

I love shoes. I am not in the same league as Imelda Marcos but I adore pretty shoes so how did I end up trying on what I can only describe as granny sandals yesterday...?
