    DB that outfit sounds beautiful, I want some raspberry tights, Moonbabe's looked great yesterday too.

    Went to the club bar (Mystery shop) and totally got the dress code wrong, next time must make more effort to look like a slapper! I sound like my mum but the dresses those girls had on were indecent, and people have the nerve to complain about breastfeeders exposing themselves!

    Just back from Swimming so no hair or make up (not attractive)
    Outfit:
    Jeggings,
    Black and grey with accents of silver rose print top.
    Red chunky cardi
    chunky red bead bracelet very similar to the one on PF blog but only £1.25 in matalan (75% off)
    black studded ankle boots.

    I've got laundry and housework to get through today and then to big night out so probably not going to get made up until later.

    Morning!

    Hope you're all okay. It's bloomin' freezing here today and we've run out of firewood, so I'm wrapped up like an eskimo whilst BF goes out with a chainsaw in search of wood.

    Today's outfit:
    Black TopShop tulip shape jersey vest dress (Chazza shop)
    Long sleeved tee shirt (Car Boot)
    Grey argyle print leggings (Market)
    Vintage tan leather pirate boots (Car Boot)
    Vintage grey and brown aztec cardi (Jumble sale)
    Rupee coin choker and silver bangles and rings (India)

    Hair in plaits with a grey and silver beanie hat

    I'm doing some sewing today, once I've figured out how to adjust the tension on the bobbin case.

    Have a great day, lovelies!

    Goan, what are you planning on sewing?


    Eek, I've had my referral through, I'm doubly nervous now as it was only put in on Monday and the appt is for the 15th Feb,
    in the past I've waited at the very least, six weeks. Bonus is it's with the same specialist nurse as last time who I've kept in touch with, and my old mental health nurse who I can't stand, but will be a familiar face.

    Sorry, just needed to write it down somewhere :o

    Good luck with the bobbin Goan - that's something I've never dared mess with! I was going to sew today but inspiration just isn't hitting although I have a long brown hooded cashmere mix coat that needs something. I never wear brown but I thought if I made a half belt for the back in dark khaki velvet, or did some back waist pleats and sewed a circle of the fabric over them or something that might work. I'm a bit frightened to tackle it TBH, the sleeves need the khaki velvet treatment too as they are a bit short. I'm not sure I'll even wear it when it's done. I think my new little sewing corner will feature on my next blog =)

    I've changed out of my pjs (well, jersey jeggings and a refashioned Stereolab t-shirt!) and put on black combats and dark green Less Than Jake hoody but I'm not actually dressed yet, I'm going to a friend's tonight so I'll get dressed later.

    Happy Saturday! x
