    Going to have to rectify that in the next few weeks though, I have a date to go on and I am being wined and dined in a very posh restaurant!:eek:
    PM me if you get stuck. Current own laabel ranges are probalbly a bit too bootyliscious (and are body fascist) but I have mountains of stock (bought in) and samples.

    A batwing fineknit perhaps? Wear it with nice jeans or trousers. Chic. subtle, but a little off the shoulder. tight on slimmest part of hips.

    Anyway, offers open, all you have to do is PM with me your size and I will pop something in the post (no charge).
    Got to clear a lot of stock over the next 6 weeks anyway...so it would do me favour...one less item to clear.;)

    I'm crossing threads here, but that's the type of thing that sets out independent retailers from the likes of Subway.

    Aww thanks FC, you are so kind.

    At the moment, I have no idea what I will be wearing as we are still sorting out the finer details of where to actually go...plus I need something to diminish some of my attributes. :D

    All very scary though, not been in the dating game since I was 16 and I am a smidgen away from being 40 (14 months and counting but trying to ignore). Do I go all glam? Smart but casual? Show some cleavage? Dress normally? Arrggghhhhh, don't want to be sending the wrong messages! :D

    I want to be just right but not look too severe (ice maiden) or too desperate (hussy look!) :rotfl:
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Well...I was waiting for Mr Subway PR person to offer a coupon or 2...just so I could refuse and take the moral high ground.

    I replied to the PM Sue.;)

    Sue, I'm sure you'll look wonderful in what ever you choose. Just remember he will be as nervous as you and as keen to make a good impression. I do hope you have a great time.

    I'm a mum of a very autistic 11 year old girl and it's easy to forget to think about ourselves once in a while. To be honest I never thought anyone would want to take us on long term (for keeps), it was hard enough being a single mum to 3 kids never mind adding in a disability. But I did find a saint of a man who loves us warts and all. The little one in my avatar is the result of this marriage :)

    Of course now I am 3 stone heavier and look like a bag lady most days because I don't know what to wear to make the baby weight look ummm sexy :rotfl: the Pjs and fluffy dressing gown that I can reside in for a day or two at a time aren't doing it:D
