Sling or Buggy?

Each time we wonder out of the house I have been putting off using a double buggy by putting Ollie in his single buggy and Joel in a sling because I know Joel will sleep most of the time if carried and I know I will be able to get into places with a single buggy, but I'm now wondering if using a sling every time I go out with Joel is a good idea as could it be the reason he is so clingy and that he's a happier baby if he's held all the time which is most of the day and night.
Even though it keeps him asleep it can be difficult to do anything with a baby strapped to you constantly and it gives you a bad back but I keep thinking its exercise and it could help me lose weight plus it gives me peace.

Do you think I'm doing more harm than good using a sling?

Shopaholic

Shopaholic: is a term used to describe individuals who consider themselves as addicted to shopping.

I confess I am a Shopaholic, Lately I have been making any excuse for buying clothes....last week it was "It's my birthday soon" or the last month it's been "I need to look good on my return to work" and before that I just felt rubbish so needed cheering up and "oh it's only £... what a bargain".

Now the guilt begins...As I lay all my new dresses, tops, trousers and accessories out, I felt this huge guilt trip because I really didn't need it all I already have drawfuls so why do i do it........the truth like any addict it makes me feel better at the time. 

I go through phases when I'm feeling low, sad or dreading something I turn to the shops...this time it's the thought of going back to work after a year off and leaving my little man.

It's a good thing I don't have expensive taste. I will be putting my new outfits together for more "Outfits under £20" so watch this space.

 Anyone else what to share their shopping addiction?

 

Outfit For Under £20

I mentioned in a post last week about so called fashion experts going on about buying high street clothes but always put together outfits that are still so expensive as though we all have £100-200 to spare.

It annoys me so much I'm going to do the job myself and find outfits under £20 and here is my first one.

All from my favourite shop...good old Primark, I had a shop there on Saturday as a treat for my Birthday thanks to my lovely husband which is his idea of a nightmare as I can spend at least an hour in this shop.

The Outfit:

• Polka Dot Top - £6

• Indigo jeggings - £8

• Bright Red ballerina pumps -£4 ( I actually got these last summer)

The whole outfit is for £18 - BARGAIN

I've plenty more outfits under £20 so watch this space.

I would also love you to share your outfits for under £20.

Friday Wish List

Oh so many things I'd love to buy, I'd love to re-invent myself with a stylish 50s look as I love the red lips, styled hair and figure enhancing clothes oh and I think these shoes from Deelicious would make an excellent start but £44.99 and I'm not allowed to spend boohoo! 

I want... I want........I WANT.

I'm a cheap and cheerful high street girl and love bargains so I can get more for my money.

Loving this multi-coloured animal print short sleeve top from Select only £12. I'm rather into animal print and liking this seasons bright colour look so why not put them together. 

Ooh look at this fab black and white striped dress this is defiantly on my wish list also from Select and £16 oohhhh! I think I would add red shoes and bag.

Chiffon Midi prom dress in green from Matalan.

This would be great in the summer with tan wedges and some wooden beads. I like this but I think it's too much at £18, I may hunt for a cheaper version.

I also like this Orange colour block dress from Matalan especially now I have dyed my hair dark brown. This is £26, I still probably wouldn't spend that much - told you I'm cheap and cheerful especially as I like to change my clothes a lot so why spend a lot. 

All those fashion programmes that say buy high street but when they put things together it still always amounts to £100 - £200, I don't have that to spare and I know you don't have to spend that much to look good. I remember going clubbing (going back a few years now) and I had complements on a dress I was wearing and I only spend about £6 on it (Sale probably). I've had whole outfits for about £20 (including shoes). 

Well that's my list of want's today, next time i'll put an outfit together for £20 x

Boots.... oh Lovely Boots

I've been having obsessions with clothes and shoes at the moment so I can feel better about myself after putting on a bit of weight.

What do you think of my latest purchase?
Tan riding boots from Dorethy Perkins they were £60 reduced to £20 in the sale......BARGAIN. They are a little high for me but I do feel fab in them.

I also have seen a matching bag.
