Sequel to the decent dressing gist on page 42,noticed M&S had big sale this week so we went in..
Got clothes dirt cheap..

See the shirt was initially sold for £29.50, then they had a sale and the price was slashed to £15, then another and price was £7, then this sale which DH got the shirt at £2.89.

Same for the trousers.. £35 to £19 finally £3.49

I realised it's a good way of stocking up and I can sell to my colleagues and friends whenever I travel home . Unfortunately, most clothes were in bigg sizes

Even if I want to gift, I can do so without breaking the bank

Sale Caveat: the ones with the yellow sale tags cannot be returned or exchanged!

DH got this blazer in the colour of his school alumni, he posted it on their WhatsApp group and he already has a buyer who has transferred money to him.

See the original price £79 and how much he got it

Hi
I know towards change of season, shops usually have sales to offset stuff in order to re-stock for the upcoming new season. Then the obvious holidays periods too especially from Thanksgiving in November till Jan or so.

I think most high street shops ocassionally also have in house discounts irrespective of the time/season.
Also some have massive sales only online and not in shops

Today's news: Had my vaccination.

From registering your presence to the stands..

After the 2nd pic here, there were signs of no photograph or video in the hall. So as a law abiding citizen I had to obey.

No queue, meet the desk person, get directed to have a seat, and get called when a stall is free, answers few questions and done! Easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Please get the vaccine when invited. Let's beat this thing!

We are given this leaflet for more information about the vaccine.

I pray I don't get any effects or if any mild ones. As precaution, I've taken paracetamol and taking lots of fluid and fruits for the next few days

...and this is how my Executive Chef celebrated my first shot of the vaccine

So we are officially in Spring.. Cheers to warmer days ahead

Fire trucks are a regular sight in town. It was when I got here I got to know that fire service is not only called for fire but for vehicular accidents too because they have the necessary tools to eg free trapped passengers etc
