No more snow!! I can't be bothered to get off the sofa to see if it's snowing here. Anyone in Leeds care to share?! :rotfl:

Go on! For me?

So your bro is in Leeds? Is he a student? I could've bumped into him in the street! I love that kind of thing!

Was in Tesco Home today and noticed that they had really pretty thermals on offer, they were sort of ballerina cross over tops with lacy trim. Thought of you Daisybella!

Ooh I spotted those this evening - they're lovely. I'm not impressed with the clothes in my local Tesco though. They've usually got a decent selection but it was a right load of old crap today. I'm only after a cheap, nice, long black cardi. Shouldn't be too much to ask :rolleyes:

How cheaps cheap?

I got one in Sainsbury's Tu range on Sunday, (emergency purchase following my washing machine fiasco) It was £14, black, smooth fine knit and a nice long length. Slight gather to the top of the shoulder, but plain and simple otherwise. Pleased with it, doesn't look as cheap as some can!!

Haha, sorry I went to bed before I could find out Yes, he's a student at Leeds Met...it would be strange if you had passed him or something!


Still snowing here,
only upside is I got a cold weather payment, so I can donate it to my parents and stop feeling guilty about needing the heating on so much

morning all, so much for the snow going away for good, we have a nice new covering today..and its still coming down..
today i needed to wear some heels anyway after days and days of flat (and nt waterproof) boots so wearing a pair of gold mary janes from matalan, with black tights and a green shirt dress from primark with white apple print on, along with a long necklace of pearl/black beads on chains of varing length..also dark green coat from next a few yrs back, and black beret..

GG, your stuff is beautiful!! Definately inspired me to start taking photos and sorting out my folksy!

So today I've gone grey and pink

grey trews again
pink blouse (3/4 sleeves)
and grey waistcoat
trainers (black and pink)
2 beaded bracelets (1 is mine)
hematite ring
grey "pearls" knotted

I love my waistcoats at the moment!

Even DS2 (4) said - Mummy it's snowing AGAIN, that's so boring.

Today I have to go to the post office (again) and take DS2 to drama club, all 'yummy mummies' who wear identical outfits straight from next catalogue - smart but not an ounce of originality between them.

I'm going for black biker boots, black leggings, short denim skirt, white fitted shirt, usual jewellery with black carved bangle. Haven't decided on a necklace yet.

Wearing some FCUK perfume I got for Christmas that I was surprised to like! Hair is curly today.

I'm going to start looking at all your blogs now - can't believe I still haven't done it!

Good morning! No snow here but it's gone VERY dark so maybe it's on its way. I kind of hope so because I have my sewing class tonight and could do with it being cancelled because I can't really be bothered! Wednesdays are very long days!

I've made a good effort with the skirt and heels , but I'm still very black/grey

Well I changed to go to Pizza Hut with OH last night, into:

- Brown vest (H&M)
- Fine knit cream 3/4 cardi (Mango)
- Brown boyfriend cardi (H&M)
- [STRIKE]Old [/STRIKE] Vintage look dark blue jeans (Topshop?)
- Brown ankle boots (Schuh)
- Long cream shell-type necklace

So I made the bold departure from black and grey to brown!

Today I'm in:
- Black dress with 80s style red triangle pattern (Warehouse sale)
- Black vest underneath (H&M)
- Red cardi (H&M)
- Black tights (Tesco)
- Black patent heels (Miss Selfridge) - with wellies on standby!!

Hope everyone's well, we're halfway to the weekend!

ETA - Caroline, your drama club ladies sound a blast :rolleyes:
