    right, I'm going to get creative with some nail varnish remover and a top Ibought about a year ago. It was an impulse buy whilst in a blind panic over getting stuff to wear for holiday. I bought it and realised it wasn't very nice but kept it. It still isn't nice! It's just a black plain tunic, which is fine, but the bottom third of it is covered in little diamond stones which are stuck on. It's very 'pensioner on a night out at bingo at the social club' but if I can get the stones off it will just be a plain black top!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    oh well, that didn't work :( I couldn't even get 1 to start to come off and there must be easily a hundred of them on it. What a pain.

    Thanks everyone I'm feeling a lot better about it now! All my life it's been that nothing's been good enough for him, I got 99% on a school test once and he said it wasn't good enough! So I think this is just an extension of that. Maybe when he comes he'll be pleasantly surprised at how well I'm doing now.

    Pepe, I agree about chocolate, I can't remember the last time I had any and zero consumption is definitely against the laws of nature!

    Ames - BIG (((((hugs))))) - I can identify with your feeling that whatever you do is never good enough for your Dad, altho in my case it is my Mum. I know that feeling is for me the link with depression and wondered if it is for you too ?
