    I always feel as if I look like a refugee from the Guides (obviously I'm talking about before they wore polo shirts and the like) when I put a scarf on. I think its the way I walk, many years ago when I was a size 12 and my sister was a 10, we independently went into town and came back with the same dress. Guess who looked better in it?
    There'll be no stopping you soon. You'll become a 'lady who lunches' and won't even hang out the washing unless you are co-ordinated.:rotfl:

    I think you are underestimating yourself just because one dress didn't suit you doesnt mean there is anything wrong with you - you just need something different

    "hang out the washing" :o:o:o I use the tumble dryer in my defence Hypno does too and if she can do it and still clear her debts so can I :rotfl:

    I have to say a week later and I have dressed smartly every day don't have much choice I have got rid off my scruffy clothes :) and I have worn heels every day :D off to church in the minute so I am expecting some more comments of the where are you going nature as there are some people who haven't seen me yet :)

    Afternoon folks

    I am hiding in the office where it is peaceful. Had a bad night last night late night ice cream whilst watching Time Travellers Wife equals bad for digestion and lack of sleep as the office now has a bed in it for my OS when he is home I may be tempted to grab a nap.:rotfl:

    £1 on one of the scratchcards today makes a change from the usual 10p:)

    Ventured onto the mortgage board today as we need to remortgage in August some very vitriolic posts on there think I will just be reading not posting :eek: need a more flexible mortgage cos as soon as we repay the CC debt I shall be repaying the mortgage most of it is interest only so this needs to be addressed we do have the villa in Lanzarote to sell as a back up plan but for the moment we have decided to keep it so mortgage repayment will be the name of the game need to weigh up the costs of an offset mortgage bearing in mind we get our wages in a lump sum every 6 months and an ordinary flexible mortgage - so a bit of spadework to be done before we go see our mortgage broker just to make sure we have covered all options makes my head hurt :(

    Good luck with the mortgage hunting, with the way your finances work it pays to be prepared.

    It always pays to be ready with what you want before seeing a mortgage advisor.
