    I shall take my green ribbeting shoe envy away....

    :rotfl: :rotfl: I'm sure your feet are fine.

    I sometimes struggle to find shoes to fit, I have really flat feet, but I just try really hard until I find some :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I will have to try even harder now as shoes don't make me look fat! :j

    Hi everybody :hello:

    Feeling a bit more positive today! Managed to buy a top for tonight which, with black jeans and fabulous shoes, looks pretty good!

    Have had my nails done, bit longer and more glam than usual, and a gel pedicure - naughty but nice! I always tend to have pedicured feet as I pay so much attention to my shoes :rolleyes: All my friends always look at my feet first, so I like to keep them nice

    But to counter all that I've had a very DFW haircut! :j Went to one of those places where you just walk in, £6 for a trim and my fringe cut!! I usually pay about £25 minimum :eek: and as I have one length, straight hair than I have about half an inch off it's not really justified!!! :D

    Just chilling this afternoon until it's time to get ready - want to arrive relaxed and f**king fabulous, of course :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hi everybody

    Really enjoyed the party in the end, after all that stessing :o , and got a few nice compliments from people I haven't seen for ages! Maybe I don't look as fat/old etc as I think I do!!!!

    Haven't managed my 1lb weight loss target this week, but haven't put any on either so not a disaster, new week tomorrow so here's my list:
    1. lose 1lb
    2. drink a litre of water everyday
    3. exercise twice
    4. do one thing just for me everyday
    All achievable, baby steps!!

    Hello!

    Feeling very 'Mondayish' today ! And have achieved nothing :rolleyes: Unless eating a choux bun as it was my boss' birthday counts as an achievement :rotfl:

    Off to bed now, need an early night to try and get my sleep patterns on track, I am all over the place at the moment! Determined to get to work at a reasonable time tomorrow - and aim to do some exercise!

    Nite x

    What else could a shoe gal eat but a "shoe" bun? ;) That's now a whole different ribbeting choux envy for me to experience. *Contemplates nipping down to Mr A (the only local source) for a quick unhealthy breakfast.*:rotfl:

    Glad you enjoyed the party. Here's hoping that feeling Tuesdayish can be a good thing...

    It's all gone pear shaped this week - just like me :rotfl:

    I have done nothing on my list, in fact I've put 3lbs on :eek: I've managed just one exercise session and haven't managed the water drinking either :o

    Despite all that I am sat here 'testing' a new pair of shoes! - my no spending plans haven't happenned either :o I know that really I should send them back but they are lovely :confused: - a bit SJP, and they don't make me look fat!!!

    On the plus side, I have managed to get myself fairly organised at work and have had some positive comments about it. It's going to be a busy few weeks until my hols in 5 weeks so I really need to keep on top

    Payday on Tuesday, I have to have a really good April financially and try to get back on track with debt busting

    And I defo need to get on track with weight loss - the thought of my body in a bikini in 5 weeks doesn't bear thinking about :rotfl: :rotfl:

    :hello: Allo Shoe Gal

    I hear pear shaped is much healthier than apple shaped, so fretteth not. Not sure whether I should hope that the shoes passed their "testing" phase or not - but you either have a new and fabulous pair of shoes or a refund, so I think there will be pleasure in either alternative. ;) Nice work on getting organised at work. :D

    On the subject of beachwear, I have just tried on my tankini. The top part rattled around my sadly depleted assets and the bottoms fell off. :eek: :embarasse This is not entirely a good thing as my bum is not small now, so must have been the size of a small planet before. And I now have to buy a new one (tankini that is, although a new bum would be nice). I am sure that shopping for swimwear is the worst form of torture around. :rolleyes:
