Good morning all.
I am continuing with my foray into the world of "modern" nail varnish colours, so found myself once again perusing the range in Morrisons.
I was particularly taken with a sparkly lilac one, and as it was on offer decided to buy it. As I left the car park I realised that I didn't actually have anything in that colour in my wardrobe, so thought I would just pop up to the outlet shopping centre to see what might be on offer in M&S.
I found a lovely cotton jumper in just the right shade (I have to be a bit careful with lilac/purple/mauve colurs as I have (dyed) red hair). Unfortunately there was also another cotton one in a slightly different design in a light aqua colour, which would go perfectly with the nail polish that I bought a few weeks ago. 
Then I spotted one of those scarf/necklace things, sort of chiffon but with metal things on, which was reduced to half price and would look great worn with a black top. Then I noticed some knickers that looked as if they would be comfy but stylish (one lives in hope!)
I drove home feeling quite guilty.

Are you sure that you should be allowed out unaccompanied? 
Mind you, you resisted buying matching shoes ..........

Love it phoenix. My DH would call that Mrs Gambol logic!
Love it!
Similar totally innocent frolics to be known as 'Doing a Phoenix ' in future
Good to know I have someone to blame now!
Iñ my defence, I realised that 2 of the jumpers that I still trot out each winter were bought before I met Mr P in 2001
But phoenix - you're worth it. (Think I Saw that on a TV ad didn't I? hmm!) covers a multitude of sins.
Honestly phoenix what's the point of working your fingers to the bone if you can't buy nail polish to match?!
Didn't they have any earrings? If not, go back next week!
Oh heavens, my earring collection is enormous, but I haven't worn any for ages!
Question, have I "let myself go" by giving up eye makeup (I can't see well enough to put on eyeliner) or am I liberating myself from the hassle of putting it on and then having to take it off again?
Sounds like my sort of shopping phoenix I hope you won't be losing the knickers - perhaps avoid train travel?
Answer to Phoenix's question.
Yes IMO you should continue with the eye makeup, forget about the eyeliner, choose a nice eyeshadow and mascara and make sure you shape and colour your eyebrows. A dab of rouge and a pretty lipstick. You will be a wow and not look as if you have given up on a making the best of your face 
Eyebrows what are they ? Mine disappeared years ago 
Well Charleygirl I will send round Mellors from Lady C to trim them for you.
On second thoughts he is a gamekeeper so may only want to rifle through your larder for poached birds.
NanK Was that a euphemism?
I am totally innocent mini. Now I must dash to see the first episode of Lady C, purely for review purposes you understand. 
Tut tut Phoenix, no wonder there is no money left for new staircarpet, you naughty thing!
