    Well, work is sorted. I CAN go to the ball :T

    Maz, I think the postie tried to deliver your parcel this morning. Unfortunately DH was taking DS to school so wasnt in. I'll go and collect it as soon as I can. Got to leave 24 hours before we can go apparently :rolleyes:

    Snaggs, well done on the size 12. I'm very jealous :p
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    well done on the size 12's.... i know a good home for any sexy size 14's when you do get round to chucking them out, <cough, cough>

    dress, details please! details!!

    Maz, you and I aren't far off the same size now hunny, by the time I get to a comfortable 12 (ie I can fasten them AND still breathe...lol), you'll be there too!

    But if I do get to that point, I do have some really lovely jeans that will need a new home! :)

    Just seeing if I can find a pic of my dress online - it's very very slightly on the tight side, although wearable, but because i loved it so much, I bought it anyway, in the hope that it will be a better fit in a few lbs time.

    i like dresses and skirts but i have a recently aquired midgie bite problem... every time i go out running i come back with bites on my lower leg and ankle from running alongside long grass i think....

    tried E45, E45hydrocortisone, Sudocrem, generic nappy cream and savlon all without much effect to existing bites.... can anyone recommend a good cream.... up until now i was a sudocrem on everything kinda gal but it ain't working......
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

    You must have tasty legs :D Might be better putting some sort of repellent on to stop them biting in the first place. Hydrocortisone is usually good for treating them though :confused:

    i think it was the fake tan that tempted them at first... i've stopped that now. but i think i am just seen as fair game whenever i pass obviously.... honestly my legs are bitten to pieces!! not attractive!

    no bites anywhere else!

    woe is me!

    Maz, there's an Avon mosituriser that apparently the little biters HATE - my Mum gets really badly bitten and she finds it really helps - will investigate for you (unless anyone else knows?).

    Squizz, gorgeous dress! :T
