Very good very! Must try harder primark!
So I haven't had time to post a full entry this week but I just quickly want to review the new service from very and my quick whizz around primark today.
So a couple of weeks ago I found the most gorgeous feather cape on very.co.uk which I NEEDED! I know this is against my new ethos but I simply couldn't live with out it. So I ordered it on line and came across the delivery option called- collect+, it's free delivery and they'll deliver to a range of shops involved in the scheme near to you. Within 2 days I received a text message saying my parcel had arrived, so off I went to my local costcutter (my nearest shop in the scheme). Waiting for me was my lovely parcel and after giving the man my order number and proving who I was the cape was mine! All in all an excellent service, really quick and free delivery and free returns, what more could you want?!
So I popped into primark today (it's hard to resist) just to look around. I found three lovely things I wanted but put back due to the extortionate prices, what happened to primark prices?
1-Thin knitted union jack jumper £15 and it felt like it would shrink in one wash and that the material would go squeaky, if you know what I mean?
2- A light silver and gold Cardigan £13 way over priced.
3- Finally a lovely tweed caped jacket- very Sherlock Holmes like with a purple shot through it. Not waterproof, probably not warm and was £35 no way!! I just couldn't and wouldn't pay that for that. In old primark prices it would gave been £14 tops, do they think we haven't noticed increases?
More posts to come as I tackle the shoe room.... Xx

The beginning....
Oh my there is a lot to get through, here is a glimpse of the shop....
Bags and accessories.....
Shoes and make up!
and we haven't even looked at the clothes yet....

Confessions of a hoarder!
I have a confession to make - I've discovered I am a hoarder! What started with a small (large) collection of shoes has progressed to a large collection of accessories, bags, make up, clothes and junk! I now have no idea what I own. Our spare room is my shoe room and is packed to the rafters, my long suffering husband calls it my shop, so now instead of actual shopping I need to do more home shopping and I don't mean on the internet!
In an attempt to catalogue what I have and to make sure I am making the most of it I've started this blog. I'm going to try my hardest to follow this saying: "use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without"
PS this might be really boring for anyone reading but if it's not let me know and if you want to borrow anything I might have to set up some sort of library card :)
