    lost- ohhh I remember those disclosing tablets. I was obsessed as a kid.

    I'm yet to do anything nice for myself, only got as far as buying a Christmas present for my Dad.

    def going to do a manicure or pedicure later...or both.

    Hello to you all, another late post from me. I'm crazy busy at work with my fashion client so am totally sick of writing about clothes! If I have to write 'figure flattering finishing touches' one more time... aaaahhh!!

    Anyway. Serenity, calm, peace! That's my mantra for tonight. Also gutted that I've either missed ANTM or that it's not on this week due to Most Haunted Live... ugh. Mine for today was (as seen on my blog):

    Navy and cream striped knitted jumper
    Blue puddybow blouse (good call Goanmad, it seems we've been censored! :))
    Skinny jeans
    Brown studded boots
    Brown wooden bangle

    I totally agree with wearing something bright and cheerful to haul you out of a gloom - yellow, red, pink and orange are my favourite happy colours! Hugs to you all. xxx

    Morning all, animals all harassing each other this morning so I'm up at this time:rolleyes:

    I would love to do this but don't know how:oif you guide me I'll do it:) His name is Charlie George (OH is a gooner:D)and we think he's about six weeks old, someone my OH works with couldn't look after him and wouldn't take him to the vet cos he thinks Charlie is too young to be away from his mum (I think he's right) but we're used to cats so I think he has a good chance with us, I'm taking him to the vets today so hopefully all will be well, my cat is most put out and my dog is over excited but the first night went very well:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    glowgirl,
    if you upload the photo to photobucket, then copy past the img code in to a post here, that should do it.

    I want to see the kitty!

    Me too! Pics please :D They might distract me from the countdown to 9am when I have to ring up and book my holiday. If anyone else gets there before me I will be most cross!

    Well I now have shiny green nails courtesy of Barry M (Hunter Green). Does anyone else find themselves swishing their hands rounds extravagantly when they've got nail varnish on or is it just me? :o

    Rest of the outfit is:

    Black and cream quilted Chanel style pumps - New Look
    Indigo jeans - Evans
    White slash neck 3/4 length sleeved top - Dotty P's
    Cream pashmina
    Bright green thin cotton jacket - George - I bought this last night and it was only £4! Total bargain and it's such a lovely colour. Very cute style too but I am terrible at describing these things.
    Green beaded earrings
    Silver and green thin bangles

    I'm drawing an absolute blank on the brown ankle boot hunt - does anyone have any ideas? I don't think I'm being too picky, I just want some flat or low heeled brown leather ankle boots. Everything in the shops is either furry or black :mad:

    DD got a (nother!) pair from Primark, about £14, flat and antiquey-brown leather-look, very authentic and have studded band on , not sure if they're the same as GG's (can't see hers clearly in the blog!), these are ankle boots. She loves them!
    NOSEY.........where are you going for your hols? Do tell!

    Oh now that's a thought. And I'm going to town after work so I shall brave the giant Primark and see what I can see. Thanks Bronnie :D

    I'm going to one of the apartments here for a week. God bless my 50% staff discount! Lots of books and dvds, long walks round the lake and all the peace and quiet I want :D I'm so looking forward to it.

    not sure how to make this pic smaller - sorry, but i thought i would share with you my cheer up outfit (this is the print of today's skirt, inspired by talk of halloween and bonfire night, i couldn't resist the print, and its a really simple pattern, just a zipped circle skirt)..

    i've teamed it with a black top, mustard chunky cardi and blue pixie boots, with black leggings, a chunky mustard bracelet from primark, and a blue heair bow..and a russian doll pendant necklace from accessorize..if anyone knows how to make the pic smaller pls let me know :(DSC02871.jpg
