Okay, so Sports Direct had a sale on Karrimor gear... Don't look at me like that! A couple of long sleeve thermal tops (2 for £18), a couple of tech shirts (2 for £12), a warmer long sleeve top for the "proper cold" days, a lightweight jacket and a foam roller was also added to the booty... Oh, and some gloves and hat as well...
And you thought you ladies could shop!?
Mrs Aussie picked up two long sleeve tech tops too (2 for £12).. 
Happy running!
Tee hee 
Way to go Aussie. Looks like MrsAussie has some completion when it comes to retail therapy!
I now have more tech tops than normal cotton tops I think... oops...
Haha! I was chuckling away reading this, then I realised that at the same time I was thinking, "oh I must myself along to SD and see what bargains I can get". Not so funny after all when I think of the state of my bank account after buying my garmin last week!
Agree Miss Sparkle, my bank account is shot due to this running malarkey. On the plus side my new shoes turned up today and I can't wait to take my Garmin out for run number two tomorrow I'm eagerly awaiting all the winter running gear hitting the shelves 
See - that's why I snapped up the long sleeve tops and jackets today... bargains I tell ya! Bargains... And with winter just around the corner I'll be thankful for them soon enough...
It's already turned cold, this weekend it may be time to pack away my summer clothes and get out the winter wardrobe. Here's to shopping (and lots of running bargains!)
Yes I bought karrimor top. Shorts and vest hehe
Oh wow that is some hauk, and I just realised the same as Mrssparkle- I need to check out sports direct!!
The main warehouse is near me. I have to physically restrain myself or my car mysteriously drives there all on its own and I seem powerless to stop it. When I was there last the Nike lady told me that everything would soon have to go to make way for autumn stock. OMG. I daren't go again. I'll soon have to go into rehab! Heelllllp
Haha. I'd say you got a bargain, Aussie
Hubba ,Hubba come to Mommee ! Impressive purchases there Aus, oh SD is like a magnet to me , I can hear it calling me from about 500 yards and who am I to argue xxx
Fantastic I love that brand!! x completed my couch to 5k in it x
I reckon us lot should get free shares in SD
Can't wait until I get home in a few weeks, I'm definitely going shopping! Aussie, what do you do with the foam roller?
Oh I wondered what that was Curly, thanks for solving that little mystery for me xxx
Apologies for being a bit dumb but what is the foam roller for?? x
Hi Lorraine, it is very popular on here for smoothing out tight muscles , I am not sure how it works as I haven't used one myself, but I think you roll it against the affected body part , they come in all shapes , colours and sizes , I believe
I didn't have a clue what it was in the photo before Curly pointed it out xxx
I believe they're for kind of self-massage. You pop it on the floor and basically slide yourself over it as it rolls underneath. Theres some good videos on youtube.
I may just have to get one myself
I'll put it down to peer pressure from you lot.
That's the one... Self massage and torture device... AWESOME for calves, shins and thighs... YouTube shows you how!
Nice one, we got all our Karrimor running gear in the sale in SD too, I go t an ace luminous lime green running top there, can see me coming for miles!
Ha ha! Nice one Aussie. I avoided sports shops like the plague before I fell off the wagon and got back into running (and this is a girl who hates shopping). But now I find myself walking past anything resembling a sports shop thinking 'ooooh, nice trainers....' lol. Gotta love SD for a baaaargin, eh? : ))
That's some good prices, and the long sleeve tops sounds just perfect. Maybe a trip to SD is on the cards
Foam roller is for easing those tired muscles. You roll yourself over them. Beware, they can hurt like hell! But as they say 'no pain, no gain' and they apparently can really fix aching muscles before they start to ache.
If you look on YouTube there are videos to show you how to do it.. I use the roller on calves and shins mainly.. Hurts like hell but works a treat!
Very proud of you Aussie you have given me an idea......off I go to SD!!!
When do I get the addicted feeling
This addiction is getting serious !
When does the addiction start? 
Confession of a label addict
