Hi Whitleybay, I'm more of a Principles/Wallis person now but must admit that Principles has gone a bit pricey. Also I use Debenhams a lot as they have a lot of choice as they have different departments. I find M&S' quality is not as good as it was and the sizes are a lot smaller!

I don't have a lot of time to go shopping, so NEXT catalogue is a godsend for me. Everything for me and the kids comes from there.

I have found I have become a wandering shopper. I like Monsoon but it is a bit "young" I have just got a Boden catalogue and like their tops.I did buy a Nicole Farhi top, but it was in the sale!Maybe I should take up dressmaking and buy a sewing machine.

I do buy some things from M & S, also use Wallis, Principles, River Island, Next, Oasis, H and M, etc, and lots more online,but I also get things in supermarkets like Sainsburys Tesco and Asda depending on what I am buying.

80% of my clothes come from Next. Used to be Per Una when I worked but not so much now. More relaxed clothing!! For special occasion clothes I go to Monsoon, Wallis, Principle etc.

Yes I have to say that 80% of my clothes come from next. They had a wicked VIP on line sale a couple of months ago, (if you are an online customer you get to the sale items before Joe public, if they send you a VIP)...I had a wonderful time shopping, booked my slot, and I was on line for hours and hours.
Ended up ordering over £2,000.00 of clothes, the parcels kept arriving and arriving and arriving....phew exhausting stuff......

Just out of curiosity was that £2,000.00 worth of stuff pre sale price or you actually bought £2,000.00 worth.
Sorry that's really nosey but I have asked the question now.

Well I spent £1.50 for a double string of pearls in Primark - last of the big spenders!  Still a great fan of Zara and Principles. Since George stopped designing Per Una, it has got a bit stale and predictable. Loved the original Next - have still got one of two things I bought from them way back in the 80s.

I'm lucky have a friend who owns a dress shop so can find different things and if I like a make can mix and match the items. Get work clothes from M&S. Problem where I live is finding decent shoes so have a good look around whenever we go to Manchester or Newcastle.

Hi everyone,
having read your replies to my post I feel awful having put that ....it sounds as if I was bragging about money, which honestly I wasn't, I just thought everybody shopped like that. I wish I did have loads of money, I am as poor as a church mouse...
Anyway, perhaps I should arrange one of those clothes swapping parties that seem to be all the rage at the moment.

Loo............I didn't send too much back, because I always think, Oh I have it now, may as well keep it, cos it may come in handy.
