Cable Knit Leggings - The results!!
Well a few weeks ago i bought a pair of black Cable knit leggings from New Look for £16.99 (now £10.00 - this always happens to me, i buy something full price then they go down in price like a week later). I then also bought a pair of similar Cable knit leggings from Primark for £6 and thought i would do a consumer test, and well the results are now in.
I can announce that the best out of the 2 was the pair from New Look, as at from the start they were the better feeling pair. The first issue i came across with the ones from Primark was that they didn't have enough give, so they weren't as comfy as the New Look pair which fit snug and were easy to move in.
Although the Primark ones are ok i think i would go with the New Look pair as even though the ones from Primark are only £6 the New Look ones are only an extra £4 and are much more comfy and i feel they would last a bit longer too.

Cable Knit Legging
I found these lovely Cable Knit Legging whilst on my shopping trip at the weekend, i bought them in black they cost me £16.99 from New Look, i thought they were really nice, something different to the normal plain leggings. They will go perfectly with my new chunky knit jumper. But it also means i will need to get some new boots :)
However after i purchased the leggings from New Look i visited Primark, and what happened to be on the hanger as i walked in the shop, the exact same leggings, but for £6 so i obviously had to buy some, i did consider taking the others back to New Look but then thought no. I have decided to test both pairs out and see which one lasts the longest, and will update my blog once i have worn both pairs (as I'm not allowed them till Christmas) I'm sure that the ones from New Look will last the longest but i could be surprised.

Just couldnt find the right clothes
Mum and Dad arrived on cue 9am. They bought me a food parcel :) the cupboards are now full up.
We all took a ride into town so i could show mum the onesies in Primark, which are amazing, she has bought one for me and my sister, i got one with penguin feet and we picked one with cows on for my sister, only £10 not bad!!
We then took a look in New look and they had a sale so i had a look and found some good bargains, i took 7 items into the changing room but came out with none! I dont know why but nothing seemed to suit me, which irritates me because that is always the case. I did see a dress which i had tried on but didnt, why do we always do that?? (http://www.newlook.com/shop/womens/dresses/cowl-neck-colour-block-dress_231071569) It was £30 so not a bad price and would be nice for when i get a new job.
I have found that i am getting slightly short tempered with people especially my boyfriend which i do feel bad about :( but i cant help it somethings just really irritate me, like when i wanted to buy some birthday cards which were 10 for a £1 i thought that would be perfect for when someones birthday pops up and i dont have to worry about getting a card, and my boyfriend was like thats stupid just get a card when its their birthday, but the thing is when there are birthdays im the one who has to worry about getting cards and presents not him, i even write out most cards even if they are for his family! So i sort of had a mardy moment in the middle of clintons and stormed out lol then after that things just really ticked me off.
I calmed down eventually and we went for a sunday dinner at our local pub, it was quite good - http://www.cornmill-nottingham.co.uk/ although i am quite fussy when it comes to my sunday dinner the yorkshires have to be perfect!
Mum and Dad have gone home now :( wish they could have stayed longer but they both have work in the morning so i will have to wait until either they come here or we go visit them.

Before i go i want you all to meet Peter Pumpkin, i will be putting him on my desk at work to cheer me up :)
