    Hi folks!

    Well what a day we're all having! I'm sitting feeling very sorry for myself as well. Got up this morning, got dressed, went to go downstairs and found myself at the bottom a lot quicker than I expected! Bounced all the way down on my back and bum - the pain is immense and I have THE biggest bruise ever :o

    Anyway, not going out today so I'm in comfy clothes:
    black yoga pants
    black tshirt
    black North Face fleece gilet
    ancient Uggs

    Hope everyone else manages to shake the blues for a better day tomorrow!

    Hello all! Sorry to hear about sad people, big hugs and lots of love to all of you down in the dumps today.

    What a gorgeous, autumnal day. I've been out chazzing (visit my blog for details) all day, left the house at 8.20 and just walked back in, breakfast and lunch out and lots of fabby second-hand finds plus a dress I was after in Warehouse down to £10 in the sale, could life be better?

    Today's outfit:

    Kate Moss at Topshop polka dot puddy-cat bow blouse (£10)
    Trashy acid-wash high waisted skinny jeans (£4 sample sale)
    Vintage black leather knee boots (Car boot £2)
    Vintage 1960's green wool jacket (20p jumble sale)
    Black and silver chandelier earrings (Morocco)
    Indian tribal jewellery
    Black 1950's gold framed bag with yellow roses (20p car boot sale)

    Off to examine my purchases in greater detail and will post my finds over on the eBay board later.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    BTW: some MSE and pick me up things I've done this evening to cheer m up:

    a disclosing tablet...and it revealed very clean teeth, so I feel quite smug, though I do have a sluchy blue tongue.

    an asprin face mask (although my skin is so furious ATM, I'm fed up of that too)

    some ironing, happy scented water: and a good stam treatment (pre facemask) I just love the satisfction of folded, caed for, scented linen and clothes. :)
