Long weekend = Long post

I can’t believe how quickly the long bank holiday weekend has gone! I’m really starting to appreciate the dedication that bloggers have, I simply haven’t been able to find time to blog every day over the weekend!

Sunday was our monthly shopping day – we go to a big Asda Walmart once a month to buy all the big items and then to a local shop each week for things like fresh fruit and veg. The bonus of going to Asda means that I can have a look at their clothes and I manage to get a lovely mock layer top with a gorgeous butterfly print and grey cardigan which will be perfect for work this Autumn. And to top it all of, it just sneaked in the shopping trolley with everything else!! They had several tops in the same style but with different prints and were all a bargain £12!




I then decided that considering I’ve been in my current flat for nearly three years and we still have boxes from when we moved in the spare room that it really was time to have a bit of a sort out. A couple of hours later I’d emptied 4 boxes, filled one with stuff to go on ebay, found several old curtains and sheets which I think will go to my mum’s loft, filled a bag for charity and found hundreds of carrier bags just stashed in a box (really not sure why!). The spare room is now looking considerably better, although the hallway seems to have a bit of an overflow of things I’m not sure what to do with. The picture below shows my ebay box!!


Today I popped into the ‘Bench’ shop and picked up some bargain jeans, £23 and £20 both down from £40! I love Bench clothing but it’s normally out of my price range. I bought one pair of skinny jeans and one pair of boyfriend jeans and am really pleased with them.






Tomorrow unfortunately is back to work for me, but it’s been nice having an extra day off. What has everyone else been up to during the long weekend?

  1. Sounds great! Wish I could motivate myself to clear the 'heap' that is my spare bedroom! Nice shaped jeans! My bank holiday weekend was all over the place- Saturday, wasted the day itself then I had a great gig in the QEH foyer at the South Bank, then Sunday after church went for lunch and tidied, Monday- drove to Wales and explored shops!!!
