    If you have to fail one...

    Did you see gok last night with that Chanel dress that was picked up for £120?

    I didn't like the green dress at all and her hair was better a bit darker (in my opinion)
    I love Gok, he's my God!

    I'm going to wait for my brekky to settle then go for a run before the kids come home from school.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    And now I have 'nearly' done all my ironing...(I only stopped last night cos I couldn't fit anything else in the wardrobe) I realise I have far too many clothes and have to stop buying them....I am going to have a cull and organise my wardrobe.

    On a :mad: note my DD2 has her prom shortly and she wants a dress from america. Its a pageant dress and in my opinion bloody awful.....cost is £125 - when I objected she told me her friends was costing her £195. :eek:Maybe thats why they have just had to downsize to a smaller house then....:cool:.

    I hate this prom idea....whatever happened to the end of year disco...I blame TV and America for this stupidity....

    Grumpy old woman rant over...

    PS When DD1 had her prom we were so skint (both me and OH out of work) we couldn't afford a dress. I was overwhelmed with offers of help from the lovely peeps on this site. Never been forgotten....

    PPS Bookie's quiet - she must be counting...:rotfl:

    TK Maxx scares me too, examining new clothes now...

    The summer tops look really nice, perfect for warmer evenings :) and the rest is underwear so I'm really hoping it fits!

    He was quite nice wasn't he :p I thought it was a pretty good programme although I'm sure the personal trainers etc were quite a big advantage! Really felt for her though with the pressure she'd been under to get thinner. Oh and I want nice shoulders like she ended up with!

    I absolutely LOVE Matalan clothes, very cheap, on trend and they wash really well, the t-shirts don't even go out of shape!
