    The starter and dessert was lovely, but the main was a disaster. Lucky our friends are very nice and let me off - but i know i won't ever live it down hehe!

    I too hope the Coast dress turns up, otherwise i will be putting it a claim with paypal and getting my money back from the seller. Checked her feedback and people who won dresses days after me have received theirs already.

    No film for me, the premier is Boy in the Striped Pyjames, watched that about a month ago and it was very very sad, don't want to get myself all upset again.

    OH MY GOD, what has happened to the weather. Its been chucking it down all day in Kent, the drive home was a bit of a mission, some people cannot drive in the rain :mad::mad:

    Some good news, my Coast dress finally arrived :j:j and its gorgeous. Its a really nice dark green colour, and will look great for the wedding in Mexico. Its this dress here http://www.coast-stores.com/LEONORA-BUBBLE-DRESS/Weddings---view-all/coast/fcp-product/2224669070 but in a dark green colour. I'm going to be wearing a strapless bra with it, but only thing is it slips down a little. Its a 12, but because my boobs are quite big i have to always get the next size up. Anyone know what i could get to get it to stay up? sticky tape stuff maybe? :rolleyes:
    Anyways, i am pretty annoyed about this sale, i won the dress on the 24th Sep, paid for recorded delivery and said on the advert posts out within 2-4 working days, and you know i mentioned i have messaged her a few times but no reply, well the sticker on the package says it was posted YESTERDAY :mad: so not only didn't she bother to contact me to say there was a delay posting, she has just ignored my messages. HOW RUDE!!!! Sorry but if she'd messaged to say there had been a delay i'd of been cool with it, would've stopped me worry it had been lost in the postal strikes. Also, another dress i'd been waiting for also turned up today, and again i'm not happy. It said it was from ASOS, yet checked tag and from Primark. I don't mind as i like Primark, but thats not the point. I only won it for £2.99 but its peed me off that she lied in her advert. Plus, she messaged me on Saturday to say posted today, again 2 weeks late, yet checked postage label and was posted yesterday! WHY DO PEOPLE LIE? People like that ruin Ebay! :mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Anyways - rant over! I was meant to be kickboxing tonight but because of the weather decided i will stay in for a cosy night snuggled up on the sofa with OH. He's still at work at the mo :rolleyes: started at 7am yet still there, hope he gets home soon, prob stuff in the traffic on the M20.

    xx

    What! Why did she lie and say shes posted it! I wouldnt be happy either what a cheek! At least you have it now, it looks gorgeous!
    With the other dress i also wouldnt be happy, as its false advertising! You you like the dress though?

    The dress is alright, although you can definitely tell from the quality its Primark and not ASOS. Will leave negative feedback though as its not on. I really love the Coast dress though so I'm a happy girl, it was a bargain at £47.

    OH doesn't know when he's gonna be finishing so may be a cosy night for one here too.

    That is so annoying about the dress that is from Primark. Definitely leave bad feedback as that isn't fair. Some people seem to have no respect.
  • Very sad to hear on the news this morning that Stephen Gately has died in his sleep, RIP. I was never really a big Boyzone fan, more a Take That girl, but still very sad.

    Saturday was a fairly cheap day, spend the day with my sister helping her find a dress for a weekend next weekend, and she also got another tattoo done on her neck like Victoria Beckhams. I wanted to get one on my foot but chickened out, I'm not as brave as my sister who now has 4 tattoos. I only spent £12 all day. I did want to buy my holiday clothes, but because i'm going London next weekend shopping i decided to save my money. It was fun just helping my sister shop, i did LOVE the dress she bought from Lipsy.

    Last night just spent the evening in with my OH watching X Factor and eating Domios pizza.

    Today off for Sunday lunch at the in-laws :j
