I'm easily obsessed. I can't just buy something and leave it at that. Remember that silk dress I'd snaffled from Mrs Kaur's £5 rail on the indoor market the day before we flew to Corfu? Once we got home I couldn't resist popping back and having another look..... just to make sure that I hadn't missed anything.....
Oh dear, I've now got an entire collection of recycled sari silk garments! A whole new wardrobe for £30.
Rather than getting Jon to photograph me in my outfits like usual, this week I've been making short videos of me prancing around in my gear and posting them on TikTok. I haven't edited them or used filters. I didn't expect any of the (predominately young) TikTok users to be remotely interested in my amateur posing but I've had some really sweet comments by young women saying how they want to be just like me when they get older.

Jon says thanks for the well wishes and birthday love. I'll share what we got up to on my next post - once I've trawled through the hundreds of photos!
See you soon!
