Mariel, you can drag and move them while in edit mode but I find it's bit hit and miss.
Updated my blog with Saturday night's outfit.
Today I'm in the floral nautical dress, red long sleeve top, jeggings, grey slouchy boots, red chunky bracelet, green chunky beaded bracelet, goldy bangle, red short mac with a gold/pearl rose broach.
Have been really busy today, had three Mystery Shops (Pizza, Chicken burgers and a catalogue shop!) which funded the day,
We splurged on:
coffee DH and I had while DS slept in the buggy (bliss!) I tried the gingerbread latte which was delicious.
Soft Play session for Dylan.

So pretty much a money neutral day but full of fun!

Hello everyone.

I had a good weekend, the jegging, while unstylish were supremely comfortable (and the first pair had a hole in, so had to buy a second pair, which, strangely fitted better -same size, make and model...) and on sauturday night I felt really great in my back dress, black and diamante shoes and chandelier earrings, DH was very appreciative!

The weekend was not without fashion problems though....foot wear. My feet got ridiculously swollen on the plane (I always swell a little, but this was almost worth showing a doctor I think). On Saturday I could barely walk, but really had too, it was my time alone and I wanted to get out and about, so I hobbled along in my boots, with a very small heel and a size to big to wear with extra socks in winter...but worn with just thin socks, and my feet barely fitted in. Before going out in the evening and after having a bath I re ran the bath with cold water and sat on the side soaking my feet for as long as I could stand the icey water, then lay with my feet up the wall above me, for half an hour, and got the swelling down enough to get my evening shoes on (which have an ankle strap that was not helpful with swollen ankles) And took flats for after wards. Now, when I got my flats on I almost cried with relief at first, but then realised hat my feet were so swollen these shoes, which fit pretty well, were causing terrible, terrible blisters and cuts. So I had to press down the back and schlep through the streets as if in slippers. last night my darling, darling husband, massaged them and got a lot of the swelling from my feet and ankles, but I need to think about this for future travelling...this was actually quite a problem this time.

Eek to swollen feet Lost not fun at all. I'm glad you otherwise had a good weekend though.


Not even thought about an outfit here yet, despite having been up since before 6. Eek. I've been productive though, ticking off several jobs from my to-do list...
got to venture out in the rain later to post some parcels and pick up the free Barry M makeup set from the News of the World magazine.

Happy Monday all

Morning, lovelies!

Welcome home, Lost! Your poor feet, hope they didn't spoil the weekend too much.

It's freezing cold here and the snow has just started. At the moment I'm in as many layers as I can swathe around myself:

Leopard print leggings (Jumble sale)
Topshop purple ribbed vest (Car boot)
Angora boyfriend cardi ( Car boot)
TopShop tulip shape vest dress (Chazza shop)
Knitted Nepali slipper socks (India)
Silver bangles, bracelets and rings (India)

I've already wrapped the weekend's eBay purchases and done a couple of loads of washing. Today's plans are a few hours of eBay photographs followed by a trip to Pets At Home to stock up on cat food and litter. I managed to make six new cushion covers over the weekend so may manage a couple more later.

Have a happy monday,
Goan

Goan- it's freezing here too

PF- yes, this week is a new start, but dont beat yourself up if you have a bad day...and remember we are here to listen

Right, another job done in the form of e-mailing my tutor. Have now made an action plan for my course which should get me done and finished well within the allotted time. Today and tomorrow are reading/planning days, then on with the exercises from Weds when I have more time at home without having to dash out!

Just need to ring and confirm my appointment now, and that is everything done. Typically no-one is answering the phone though and there isn't a machine to leave a message!

Outfit:
Nude/peach shoulder padded cotton top: Primark
Deep purple floral summer dress: new look ages ago
Pale mint green/aqua tights: Gift
Grey cardigan: New Look

Might add a belt if I can tolerate it, not in the mood for jewellery today I don't think, but I have been making more effort to wear some!

Footwear depends on the weather when I go out this afternoon!
