    Hi thanks will have a look for them now, and yes I did say ivory for the 2nd. OH and I saw a dress for DD http://www.monsoon.co.uk/invt/45811929&bklist=icat,5,shop,children,girl,girldresses which would go with 2nd but not 1st, but I like 1st as its so different. He's wearing a sand coloured suit (not as bad as it sounds) and cream shirt.

    Hi Kaz, I like this one best - it is lovely and I think it would suit a variety of skin tones, whichever you are!

    kaz - that's lovely as well, isn't it confusing?!!! You'll know the one as soon as you try it on - I did. Just walking past Hobbs with mate - I said ' that's nice', she said 'go in and try it, it's lovely' tried it on and bought it less than 5 mins and I'd searched on t'internet for 2 weeks beforehand xx

    Furking button changes! Why do they do it? I've just accidently reported this thread as spam. I didn't mean to. Goddamit if it ain't broke why try and fix it? :mad:

    Calm..... and breathe....
    Soappie - aah at least I was nearlty right. I had neighbours like that once, were nbrilliant and like 3rd set of grandparents to my three. ........
    And I've seen 2 kestrels tonight!!!! - are they a couple I wonder? And I have a flock of geese every morning fly over, sometimes only 2 of them sometimes 6 of them, fabulous x

    The kestrels possibly are a pair. And the geese will know where they're going. I worked for a while a few years ago at a Police place in North London and the groundsmen were seriously p*d off by the flock of canada geese that would fly in just about every morning to land on the running track area and sh*t and peck everywhere! Personally, I thought it was fantastic. They were really interesting to watch.

    Had chance (finally) to have a little read of the thread. Only gone back a few pages otherwise I'd never get to bed tonight!!!!

    LL....huge, huge hugs for you. Sorry its not better news but I'm liking that attitude of yours!!!! Mentioning the red arrows reminded me of a photograph from my Grandad's house that he had of Concorde flying with the Red Arrows. Its a great picture and fortunately its ended up at my house. Was going to pass it on to my BIL as he's plane mad but I think I'd quite like to keep it.

    Vanilla...glad to hear DH is getting some help now. Hope you're brother isn't too shook up after the accident.

    Well done on the job Sexymouse. I think after that interview you definately deserved it!!!! Just need Valli to get hers now...sending good luck with interview vibes for you.

    Yay!!!! Carol....well done for passing.

    Kazmeister....I'm voting for the ivory one....really love the butterfly one too but the ivory is stunning. Love the monsoon one too...that purply colour at the top is lovely.

    Pigpen....hugs for you....my SIL is going through the same...although internet dating is helping to keep her busy when the kids are away for the weekend!!;)

    Got some AB's for my lovely infected burn...its getting more and more sore tonight but hopefully by this time tomorrow the AB's will have started to take affect. I've had one before tea and I can't figure out if this foggy feeling in my head is the AB's or tiredness. :confused:

    Heading off to bed soon as I'm taking DD2 to gymnastics for 9am tomorrow.

    Any suggestions as to how I can shift the stone I need to (and the other 2 that my GP says I should but my physio says I don't have to :confused:) would be appreciated!

    Hiya
    Just seen the dresses Kazm....they're both simply gorgeous but I adored the butterfly dress. Also, they'd be more chance to wear that one at a later date. Both absolutely beautiful....will we see a piccie of your big day after the event. You'll look stunning in either of those dresses.

    Piggers...i'm just like that when DH takes my two up to visit his parents for the weekend. I have to fill my time to the minute. Hugs xx

    Reet....off to bed for me as i'm working all day tomorrow.

    Hugs to everyone xx

    Hello ladies
    Would love an opinion ....... cant decide on cake or flowers. Any suggestions?

    I like the first one best but both are very nice.

    Flowers - I guess you need to go for something seasonal to your location, if it is hot flowers will wilt easily so local advise is probably what you need. Cake I'd say not chocolate in a hot location. Maybe something lemony and refreshing or traditional fruit cake is good at lasting.

    Carlsberg - hope your daughter has cleared the landing by now and that the paint is coming out - thanks for the birthday wishes but I'm sure they were meant for Sexy

    Carlsberg I did decline your kind birthday wishes.

    DS2 writing away after his masterclass today which is lovely to see but it is very late - he says he has so many ideas he wants to write down - education can be a wonderful thing.

    DS1 has a dodgy finger from last week's cricket which has been aggravated by golf yesterday and wicket keeping again today - OH could be spending sometime in A&E tomorrow!

    Pigpen sorry you are finding it tough on your own, be careful what you wish for - the other week you was crying out for some space and for XOH to take them for a few hours. Hope you find a way of adjusting to time on your own.
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
