    OMG I feel so left out not having a blog. Every time I see a new blog I think Oh it must be nice to have a place to put things and to write about your day. I really don't need any further distraction from doing boring housework/ebaying/general grown up stuff!

    Oh great, messy lol
    and yea it was me with the comments on makeable jewellery..I think I mat set myself a jewellery challenge as I have oh so many accessories that just never get worn! Maybe to wear a different necklace every day or something..
  • OMG - I go away for 6 hours and you lot write 4 pages!!!!!

    No way can I catch up because I haven't even looked at blogs today. I have been ill so didn't do anything inspired today.

    TBTS - I feel for you - I can still remember the rolling on the floor agony and I haven't had a period for 3 years (smug!). The acne brought on by the coil far outweighs the misery of periods for me!

    (hugs) to carolione and teabythesea!!
    another night of lying awake not sleeping :( it's getting truly dull now but i've been trying to hold off being presecribed sleeping tabs again for as long as i could.....grrr!

    anyways, today's outfit:
    mustardy yellow floral tea dress, new look (prob via ebay) (held together above the buttons with a safety pin as its probably technically a little low cut for work lol)
    bronze glittery thread cardi, primark, £8 (forgot i owned!)
    brown opaqueish tights, which i've managed to get two holes in the knee whilst getting out of the car this morning..grr!
    orange suede heels, £13 primark
    orange dinosaur necklace on silver chain, handmade :D

    still haven't tried the new clothes on :S

    teabythesea...I hope you have had the cause of your serious period pains looked into. (I too have roll on the floor pains, but I know what causes it.) Pirate fairy...poor you. I sympathisea little, I had to take an animal to the emergency vet last night.....I feel sick with tiredness this morning, today's schedule is being cut down and I just wan to sleep, but got to much to do. :(

    OK, suddenly I have packing stress (this usually sets in a fortnight before not the day before.) Trying to take just hand luggage.....wretched shoes taking up space....need a formalish dress for evening and a day smart dress for Friday....its somehow ending up very boring....but how does this sound:

    Day smart: black wrap dress (with white/black trim), barely black (yuck, can't find my favourite shade of grey...am going out today in the vain hope of finding some on high street...and smart black heels. No bag (will have hand luggage with me) and minimal gold jewelery.

    Evening smartish: (will where two nights, different people, different cities) black silk knit dress (just below knee) barley black tights, black shoes with diamante ankle strap (not brilliantly flattering when overweight though..) minimal gold jewelry, small gold clutch. (shoes and clutch chosen on size in hand luggage and the idea I should be wearing tights and closed toes??)

    Day casual: jeggings, long burgundy jumper, green pashmina, brown boots, messy hair! minimal gold jewelry and new multi coloured/green handbag.

    Morning,
    Caroline and Teabythesea- I hope you are both feeling better today *sends get well fairy dust*

    PF- You sound like me holding clothes together with all kinds of things :) I love the sound of your necklace. I hope you feel up to trying new clothes on soon, I get like that!


    Another non-sleeper here. Spent most of the night berating myself for various things, lol. Still, feel quite energetic this morning which is no doubt down to the coffee I've been drinking since 4am.

    Might have a root through my charms etc today and see if I can fashion together some jewellery and raise funds for new supplies. Also need to write a birthday card and err, well I could sort my clothes out and stick some bits on ebay, trouble being at the moment there is very little I *can* wear because it doesn't fit, but I'm hesitant to get rid, or gaining weight will be even more expensive! Not to mention new clothes now other than dresses are a waste.

    *stops rambling*

    Today I'm wearing nothing exciting haha.

    Black fine knit top: New Look
    Bright blue cotton vest dress: New Look
    Black tights with wet look leopard detail: Primark
    Black ankle boots: Dorothy Perkins.
