    Hello, my lovelies and a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all!

    Off into town shortly to stock up on food and drink.....arghhh....forgot about all this palaver having been in India for the last god knows how many years!

    Today's outfit (to look both festive and to be practical in the snow):

    Lace mini dress (Monsoon sale)
    Sparkly black leggings (Car boot)
    Vintage grey high heeled wellies (Chazza Shop)
    Urban Outfitters perfume bottle pendant (Chazza shop)
    Silver bangles and rings (India)
    Silver tassel earrings (Car boot)
    Vintage faux leopard coat (Church fayre)

    Have a lovely time all those of you who won't be around over the next few days. I'll be on-line until monday!
    Goan

    Goan, I hope it's not too busy for you in town! We hit Tesco at 9:30am and it was the calmest I've seen it all week, I'm glad I'm not working though.

    I made the mistake of going for a walk to the bottom of town after and went flying on some ice,
    so now I'm in rather a lot of pain, but with weak bones, very lucky AND thankful nothing is broken!

    Treated myself to a holographic nail polish to cheer myself up ;)

    Just popping in quickly as I have no idea how much time I'll have over the next couple of days. More snow last night but it is really warm so I don't think it will hang around. Hope you're ok after your fall Daisy.

    Happy Christmas everyone! xx

    Hi everyone, just popping in to say Merry Christmas to you all, hope its a peaceful and safe one, back to normality soon;)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future
  • Hey everyone, thanks for your link GG, it looks awesome, love your updates! I've just started one, I hope in time it can get to be half as cool as yours!

    So today, I volunteered to go into work, big mistake. It was dead, hardly anyone came in and I left work at 2. So I spent £10 to get into work, I made £50 for the work I did, so made a pitiful £40 today, of which a good portion of NI and tax will come out of it... what was the point!

    Going to mum and dads this weekend so I hope it's fun. Hope everyone has fun over the break!

    So today I was dressed for the warm:

    • Green vest top
    • Blue vest top
    • Starbucks T from Bangkok
    • Skinny denim jeans
    • Black Zara boots.

    Plus my thick brown coat from Primark, wooly brown scarf, mittens and wooly hat.

    Daisybella... I did the same today! On my way to work, I was running late and slipped on some ice, it looked like sluch so I thought I was ok. Hope you're alright and don't ache too much, I think I was well padded so didn't do any damage!

    I'm in quite bad pain :(
    but still, can't complain as it was predicted by my doctor if I fell on ice, I'd fracture bones
    and I haven't, so pain is fine by me!

    Just swapped presents with my best friend,
    fleece PJs and a copy of US Vogue...that's my night sorted then :p

    Ahh, have fun lovely, I would so love to stay in tonight and watch Friends witha mug of hot chocca but I suppose I have to see mum and dad! ;) Only joking, I haven't seen them in a few weeks, will be fantastic to get some good cooking!

    As for the pain, hot water bottles are the way to go, they draw out any bruising and help healing too, so it's worth a go.

    I seriously hope that's a typo and it's marsala sauce! :eek:

    Evening folks, everyone feeling Christmassy?

    DaisyB, lucky escape there, hope you're not too sore for too long.

    Alex, love the top, it's a great shape and I love the colour - might have to pop into DP's and have a try on.

    Zara, did you find any shoe bargains? Absolutely no IC shoes in Schuh sale here at all. In fact, pretty much a lot of nothing altogether. Shocking!

    Goanmad, another haul of fab bargains I see. Well done!

    Well, had a nice day today, finished off the shopping this morning, then we went out to meet friends for a Chinese late lunch. Sitting at home now, wearing black crushed velvet leggings (had them years and thought I'd accidentally thrown them out) grey asymetric tunic, with a large glass of festive port in hand. Effect is slightly marred by big red slippers from Ikea that resemble small duvets for feet!

    Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow.
