    Coco (love your username!) I only found out it was a disorder last year, quite nice to know you aren't the only one. OH tells me off too, you really don't notice you're doing it! I had a bout of it last night when I couldn't sleep and had to lay on my hands :o

    The best vintage website from my post it note today was frockmevintage. Depends what you're after really, I only have vintage tights, I normally get mock vintage dresses instead (I was in heaven last year when tea dresses were everywhere) Where are you going on your holiday?

    :beer: Thanks daughter's middle name + common mis-spelling of my surname lol!

    I can't stay away from vintage I love the fashion fairs but am yet to take my chances at a swap, bit of a chicken so far!

    When I do set out to pull my lashes, I confess I get such an odd sense of satisfaction, shortly followed by huge regret & shame! I also have pulled out OH's eyebrows & my Dad's but he won't let me near now!

    Going to Lanzagrotty with the in-laws & SIL, dreading it, there are issues there, bit like Dinah's I think, not good enough, blah blah. They have even gone so far as to have a go at me for not having his dinner ready when he gets home lol! I told them he lives with his girlfriend not his mother, went down a treat:rotfl:

    Hi Coco!

    LOVE those dressed CMD - very glam but still somehow not too formal. And Cinny that prom dress is gorgeous too.

    Sorry to hear you're still sick NIM. I didn't get any pancakes either, but scored another free restaurant opening. Pancakes tonight anyone? I'm not giving anything up for lent - very impressed with the dedication here, especially bread and wine Tete.

    Just cramming for Monday's uni interview, and am going to send off my proposal to another prof in Lancaster today. Fingers crossed.

    WELL DONE Dinah, for all the debt-busting!!!

    Yeah, they are nice contemporary ones. They look good on too and are a bit unusual!

  • Just noticed today's Dress of the Day Birdie, think I cross-posted. I like today's better than any of the others apart from the first one which I still have a soft spot for! Been looking on that Rembo sote too CMD, wow! They're lovely, think I might have spotted a couple of contenders for my own dress!!

    Don't work too hard Lara, yuk!

    Just found a hotel for 2 nights in kent for £58. It's odd as the next weekend it's £68 for one night! So will be booking it on Friday, fingers crossed. Only 20 minutes away from Chartwell or Down House! Also found out we don't have to pay fully for the caravan until we're actually there so that's always good.

    I'm with Tete, don't work too hard Lara!
