Bargains

I went shopping for summer-weight work clothes and came away with some goodies - though I suspect only one out of three will actually see work. I found that Per Una - my favourite department in M&S - had some reductions, and I am now feeling very daring as the owner of a lime-green linen jacket. It's a good colour for my hair, and I really like it, for all that it's rather bright and it took a certain amount of plucking up my courage to buy it. There's a skirt in blue with white & yellow highlights to go with it, and also a long airforce blue cardigan. The jacket was reduced to £22, and when I took it to the till, they knocked another £10 off, so I'm quite pleased with that. Shopping for clothes is my bugbear - the only thing worse is shoes - so I'm pleased with such an easy haul from one place.
