    We've just had a flurry of snow in Liverpool :( I have to drive over the Pennines this afternoon, hope it stops!

    I feel a bit like I should join in this blogging malarkey but I have no idea what I'd write about. I don't exactly have an inspiring wardrobe to share with people :(

    So much chat to catch up on!

    Rainy I am now following your blog, looking forward to you starting to post!

    I would recommend blogging to everyone, I only started mine a few weeks ago but it is really helping me to think alot more about what I'm wearing and not get stuck in a rut of wearing the same 'uniform' of clothes all the time! Plus its fun to be able to follow other peoples blogs and see what their take on trends/fashion/make up/home interiors are!

    Today I am wearing

    Skinny jeans, Primark
    Grey lace up pumps, Primark
    Blue and white striped tshirt, Tesco
    Navy 3/4 sleeve top, Primark
    Red bf cardigan, Primark
    grey 'chain' style necklace, Primark

    I seem to have a Primark addiction! Though after moving into my first house a few months ago I have had to majorly cut down my shopping habit.

    Re home interiors, the Mr and I have just bought a new build house, so all the walls are a standard trade magnolia colour. We haven't decorated any rooms yet apart from a few bathrooms(lack of funds, plus I am really rubbish at painting walls!). We have tried to personalise it abit, tiling the floors ourself and with various nick nacks. Though my style is a little more retro/vintage/girly whereas he likes more modern/gadgety stuff! Think I will post some piccys on my blog when rooms are a lil more finished!

    Sorry, rambling alot today!

    Good morning all (just!)

    Would love to see/hear about everyone's interior design efforts, but I'm not likely to be able to join in as we ran out of money three years ago and my kitchen is still unfinished!

    Rainy - am following your blog now. What does everyone else follow, fashion blog-wise? I've got a few on my list but am always looking for more.

    Sloppy day today, just tidying and cleaning, hence uninspired outfit.

    Blue flare jeans which are too big at the waist (La Redoute)
    Purple baggy top with wide neck (gifted)
    Pink heart-print ballerina slippers (Ethel Austin 75p!!)
    Cream fabric hairband
    "All cruelty springs from weakness" - Lucius Annaeus Seneca
    Personal pronouns are they/them/their, please.

    I'm intolerant of wheat, citrus, grapes, grape products and dried vine fruits, tomato, and beetroot, and I am also somewhat caffeine sensitive.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    So jealous of everyone who is going shopping! New Look have free shipping until tonight so I might have to indulge in some velvet leggings I've had my eye on!
    Also tempted by Models Own 72 hour sale, £10 when you spend £20 or more, I love their nail polish but really do not need any more, especially not £20 worth!

    OMG - why did you tell me that? I really have no money to shop anymore :( Topcashback have put their NL cashback down too.

    Got my eye on one of PF ebay dresses though :rotfl:

    Afternoon ladies!
    Just popping in before I dash to the post office with my eBay parcels.

    For anyone interested in us blogging members here's a list of our blogs:

    Caroline73: http://carolinesclothingconfusion.blogspot.com/
    Piratefairy: http://dinoprincesschar.blogspot.com
    Rainywednesday:http://roopaprika.blogspot.com
    Daisybella:http://adaisychaindream.blogspot.com
    GrammarGirl:http://littlebirdfashion.blogspot.com
    Goanmad:http://vintagevixon.blogspot.com

    I think Netty http://nettyp-loveandlife.blogspot.com is another of our gang but I haven't worked out her MSE name yet!

    Apologies if I've missed anyone.

    Bloggings great fun, anyone who is hesitating should definately give it a go. Don't be shy, if we wanted to see 18year old size zero models we'd read a magazine. Blogs are fun of real women of all shapes, sizes and ages without limitless trust funds and designer wardrobes.

    Like Rainywednesday I'm a huge interiors fan - I get more excited with my vintage furniture finds than clothes so if you're shy about showing yourself why not share your dressing table or sofa?

    Back soon with an outfit post!
