Mountain Warehouse has a sale on this weekend on fleeces for men, women and children. All fleeces are half price - micro fleece, textured fleece and waterproof. Also, delivery is £1 for the bank holiday weekend. This applies to any thing you buy on the site, not just fleeces.

There's still quite a lot of good fleeces left in the sale. I particularly like these as they're light and easy to carry around and you never know when you'll need this extra layer with the British weather. I usually keep at least four fleeces handy for son.

I'm short for myself though. So have been having a good look through what is available. Like the Women's Ash Fleece, down from £29.99 to £14.99.

I also really like the kids stripey fleece tops. They're bright and colourful and if you're going camping or hiking it is handy for being able to spot them from long distances. I also like to put son in colourful tops when we go to the adventure playground near us, so I can tell which tiny do he is at the top of the impossibly high flying fox!

There's also a few nice options for the guys too. So you could fit the whole family out for half the price.

I love the clothes that Muddy Puddles sells. The site specialises in clothing and accessories that will help keep your kids pretty comfortable in the great outdoors. Activity clothes - that's the phrase used on the website and I love it. It suits may son down to the ground. I've really enjoyed picking up a few items of good quality, good looking, practical clothes for him here.

I tested it out on a Nadine Womens V Neck Dress in pink. This was priced at £59.95. The code took £14.99 off this, and then with the delivery charge of £2.95 the total bill came to £48.91.

The children's clothes are well made, and lovely, but not exactly cheap. Still with this discount it makes them more affordable, and there's a school of thought that thinks it is cheaper overall to buy just a few, expensive but quality items than it is to bulk buy from Primark. I think there's room for a little bit of both.

Particularly, I don't mind spending a bit more money on good quality, wearable items like pullovers, coats, and jackets. These can be bought a little bit bigger, and last a few extra seasons. Better quality clothes retain that 'new' look and feel for much longer too.

I tested it out on three boy's fleeces priced at £27.95 each. The order would have come to £83.85 but with the code applied it dropped to £59.85.

Now I know that nearly thirty quid is a lot to pay for a child's fleece jumper. But Little Joules are lovely, quality clothes.

I think I may have mentioned before how much I love free delivery codes for picking up just a single item. In this instance though I've been naughty. Very very naughty. In fact I can almost feel the trees dying thanks to my contribution to our carbon emissions. I have used the code to buy a pair of mittens reduced to 33p in the sale. Yes, that's right I've spent 33p, in total, including delivery. Specifically these mittens, these cute pink and blue stripey Fleece Mitts.

I've picked them up for my goddaughter. I know that it is going to be too warm to use them now, but it is well worth stockpiling for next winter!

Use this Joules promotional code to get an additional 15% off sale itmes. These are the boys, girls and babies clothes. There is a rather good sale on at the moment, 50% or more off, which is well worth a look. I saw a baby's outfit in there marked down from £29.95 to £10.

Little Joules are lovely, quality clothes. There's a school of thought that thinks it is cheaper overall to buy just a few, expensive but quality items than it is to bulk buy from Primark.

So getting a few items in the sale means sometimes spending more than you might at a cheaper store that's on full price clothes. However, in the long run I think it is worth it.

I have a Next account, I've had one for years, and whilst I love a lot of their clothes I REFUSE to go anywhere near a Next shop whenever their end of season sales are on.  My husband has never experienced the madness of the Next end of season sale and was staggered when I showed him pictures of people queuing up outside Next stores at silly o'clock this morning.

• Click HERE to go over to Next

Shopping the Next end of season sale online is a far more civilised way of doing things - sure you can't try things on before you buy them and, yes, somethings will go out of stock before you get a chance to put it in your basket but, equally, you don't have to put up with being elbowed in the ribs, pushed, shoved and generally 'abused' by terrifying bargain hunters who'll stop at nothing to rip that last size 6 pair of jeans out your hands (actually, I've never had someone try and take a size 6 of anything away from me but you get my point!).

The easiest way to shop the Next end of season sale is to use the filters.  I've just 'done' the Next sale in under five minutes and am happy to report there's nothing I want - I filtered Womenswear --> Shoes --> Formal --> Size 5 and there was nothing I liked.

I filtered jeans - nothing, I filtered dresses - nothing, I filtered beachwear, t-shirts and shorts (I'm flying home to the heat of South Africa in a couple of weeks, so I had to check these out) and nothing.

I just saved myself a fortune by not looking at every single thing on offer and survived the Next end of season sale without having to even get out of my pyjamas.

Use these Joules clothing promotional codes to either get 17% off, or three items for the price of two. Joules also has free delivery at the moment too.

To use one of these codes, go to the Shopping Bag page and enter it in the Offer Code box. The discount will be applied to your order automatically.

If you're just getting one or two items then the 17% discount is the one to use. However, if you select three items with the 3 for 2 sticker on them, you'll get the cheapest one free. In this case the discount will be more than 17% so use that. No matter which discount you use, you'll still get the free deliver.

Both codes will expire at midnight on Sunday night.

I tested it out on a really snuggly looking dressing gown with hood. This was priced at £29.95. With the £3.95 delivery charge, and the discount deducted, the total bill came to £26.90.

Now I know that nearly thirty quid is a lot to pay for a child's dressing gown. But Little Joules are lovely, quality clothes. There's a school of thought that thinks it is cheaper overall to buy just a few, expensive but quality items than it is to bulk buy from Primark.

Plus something like the dressing gown is great to put them in after a bath in winter, and you can buy large enough that it'll last a few winters too.

The website has changed a bit since I last visited. And for the better I might add. There's a nicer layout, with better use of images. Plus, when you go to the My Bag page you can enter the promotional code. It is then automatically applied to your order.

I think I may have mentioned before how much I love free delivery codes for picking up just a single item. In this instance, I tested the code on a Pirate Bandana, in the Clearance section for £1.25. And the code worked just fine, crossing the delivery charge out and marking it as Free.

I'm keeping in mind that while we're set for one last heat wave this week, the forecast is for another bitter winter. Snow may fall in some parts of the UK as early as October. I have to say I'm really eyeing up the the snowboots and ski gloves for my son!

Those lovely folks at Mothercare have a children's clothes sale going on at the moment; there is 20% off a whole range of children's clothes.

• Click HERE to go over to Mothercare

Children, on the whole, are lovely but they do have this rather annoying little habit of growing out of their clothes, FAST!

Until you get to the teenage growth spurt years, the baby and toddler years are when they seem to grow at an alarming rate on a daily basis; it makes those early years particularly expensive so it always pays to keep an eye out for children's clothes sales, wherever they may be.

Clothes included in the Mothercare children's clothes sale range from tiny newborn in size, right up to 7 to 8 years old.

There are multipacks of vests, body suits, t-shirts, long-sleeved tops, leggings and trousers up for grabs, along with smart one-piece items (like shirts and hooded tops) for when your child needs something a little more special to wear.

There are pretty summer dresses and skirts for girls in the children's clothes sale, and some rather funky shorts and tops for the boys.

The most popular items tend to sell out quite quickly, so I wouldn't wait for too long if you want to go and bag some bargains.

HURRAH! Another Marks and Spencer Sale with up to 50% off various lines and ranges.

• Click HERE to go over to Marks and Spencer

Most of the clothes in good ol' Marks and Sparks isn't really my cup of tea anymore; mind you, last year I did buy a FABULOUS pair of combat trousers that I'm still utterly in love with.

Regardless of whether or not their womenswear fits with your taste, you still can't beat them for fantastic lingerie, nightwear and kids clothes - all of my kids have worn clothes from Marks and Sparks and whilst it will cost you more than the bargain basement supermarket clothes, they last and last and last.

My daughter had THE most beautiful yellow dress that she lived and died in, this dress was SO stunning that we couldn't bear to part with it and it's now 10 years old and just been handed down to Tamsin's daughter who's the right size for it now.  That dress has been through a lot and still looks brand new!

Now as luck would have it selected womenswear, lingerie AND kids clothes are all included in the up to 50% off sale; marvellous.

Get in quick though as things tend to sell out fast across the sizes.

Happy Marks and Sparks sale shopping!

I know what you're thinking, "What's so scary about a knickers/pants and vest combo'?"

And quite! On their own there's nothing to fear from them but when I think back to my childhood, there were times when the very mention of them struck FEAR into the very core of my little being.

• Scenario One - when playing at a friends house in the summer and the paddling pool would come out; I had no bathing costume and my mum would tell me it was fine, "You can just splash around in your knickers and vest!"

NOOOO!!!  I don't want to tazz around in my plain white cotton underwear thanks!

• Scenario Two - when I forgot my PE kit and the penalty was, yep - you remember it too - prancing around the chilly primary school hall in my underwear in front of all my class mates; horrendous.

I came across these, not very cheap, but rather awesome knickers/pants and vests from Nordic Kids the other day; they look much less like your average K and V and more like deliberate garments for playing around in during the summer.

• Click HERE to see the Smafolk range at Nordic Kids

The knickers and underpants cost £10.99 and are available in sizes from 1 - 2 years up to 5 - 6 years; the vests are billed as a tank tops and cost £16.50.

There are various bright, fun and funky designs to choose from; I think they're rather groovy and will, hopefully, go some way to protecting future generations of kids from knickers, or pants, and vest terror.

La Redoute have a sale on baby clothes at the moment, with up to 75% off some items.

• Stock up on baby clothes at the La Redoute sale

There are 59 items on sale in this offer, with items for boys, girls or unisex sets.

This Baby’s Newborn Kit for example, comes in blue, pink or yellow and includes two 100% cotton press-stud fastening full length baby grows, a lined hat, a bib with 'touch n close' (i.e. Velcro) fastening and a gift bag (which would probably make a lovely nappy sack) with drawstring fastening. This set was £14 but is now £3.50.

Another set, includes a velour hat and cardigan, velour pyjamas with feet and a long sleeved body suit, supplied with a cute bag is 40% off at £12.60 down from £21.

There's also a Happy Price Special Newborn 6-piece Set for £19, which adds mittens and a soft toy to the set, and is available in white, pink and blue.

It's not all babygrows and bodysuits though, as there are some gorgeous little outfits too – less practical for newborns, but totally sweet, like this T-Shirt & Dungarees Outfit, also £19, or Baby Boy’s Jersey Dungarees for £4.40, down from £11, and my favourite, the Baby Girl’s Tunic and Harem Pants Outfit for £5.50, down from £11.

With three of my closest friends pregnant right now, and all about to be first or second time mums this deal has come at a perfect time for me!

Tesco has a bit of a sale on kids clothes at the moment, with many items at 50% or more off.

• Click here for children's clothing sale items from Tesco

Clothes are divided into boys, girls and baby, there are over 200 items for sale in the girls section, 90 items to choose from for boys and over 100 for babies – although there's a bit of overlap over what is 'for babies' and what is 'for girls'.

For girls, items range from the Cherokee 2 Pack trainer socks for 75p through to the Jacket set for £13. Shoes you'll find at highs of £22.50 for these Kickers Kick Hi Core leather boots and lows of £1.75 for the Cherokee Denim stitch pumps (which really look to me like they belong in the baby section since they're for 0 – 3 months.)

For babies you're looking at this Cherokee 3 Pack bib set for £1.50, this very cute F&F Mock double layer top for £2, the Disney 5 Piece set for £5 and 90-something other pretty good prices in between.

Friends with boys always complain that boys have definitely got the short straw on clothes and with this sale I can see what they mean. There's less than half the selection for boys, but they're still pretty good prices. Ranging from £1.05 for the Cherokee checked hat, going through to t-shirts for £.75, Ben 10 slippers for £3, and as high as £25 for Kickers Kick Hi Lego® leather boots.

Standard delivery is £3.95 or free with orders over £50.
