Ah Retro you sound like me, I had a Moby sling and loved it, I sold it when Dylan was almost 2 and was so sad to see it go. We co-slept for a long while and all end up all in bed together every morning although we are trying to stop this now. I think I am a hippy at heart too!

I dont think you need to use a hairdryer, I just find my hair goes sticky with mousse, or it used to haha.

My hairdresser uses Sebastian Whipped Creme (just add strawberries!)

cheap it certainly ain't, but a very indulgent product! It holds beautifully without the 'crispiness' of old-style mousse, either to give fabulous volume or for blow drying or scrunch drying. A lovely soft light effective product.
However, this is definitely one of my " I've reached this age and I deserve it" purchases!

Even a cheaper creamy one ( maybe test out a travel-size mini first?) will give you the results if you don't use too much. Less is more with mousse though to avoid crispy or stickyness. Smooth just a small amount between hands and disperse evenly. Work it through half dry hair and keep flipping your head upside down to get a bit of volume at the roots and keep scrunching with your hands as it dries naturally and you should get the same effect as scrunch drying with a diffuser.

Easy enough to start again if you don't like the effect anyway LOL

DB would it be worth trying a travel hairdryer? We've got a Boots one and it's very powerful, but really lightweight.

Ah! Hair........I love talking about hair!

Just got in from work, I went with the black Primark skirt with the little white hearts. It's such a flattering shape. Wore with a black vest with lace back (£4, primark again!). No-one has to know i'm wearing the same outfit friday night.

Why do people think being a bar maid is glamourus?! Tonight I ripped my tights changing the fosters, it then proceeded to explode in my face when pulling through - covering my fair and hair in white foam. Cut my hand and i'm now sporting three sexy blue plasters.

Tomorrow is going to be a slob about outfit, I REALLY need to get some work done.

Night all xx

Saw it instore in a blue-ish grey today but love the 'prawn cocktail' (as New Look are calling it) too. Would this be a bit much on someone over 30?

this is on my wishlist!

tsabo, i agree, i did used to love working in a bar, but the amount of clothes i managed to ruin doesn't bear thinking about!

Feelinbg really sick this morning I drove past / picked up a friend on the way to work, and she bought me a hot chocolate from starbucks to say thanks, which has made me feel rather ill :S

Today's outfit is a grey / lilac / blue floral dress, bought from a Vintage shop in Seven Dials last year, which i'm wearing purely because i finally fit into it a lot better than at the time! (can't remember how much it was, but i remember really liking loads of dresses and getting a snotty look from the sales guy as if to say "you'll never fit in anything in here", so fitted and bought it as i was determined to prove him wrong!

i've worn it with grey tights, new look (they're really tatty and i coudl do with a new pair when the clothes ban is over!)
silver glitter heels, also new look (i think via ebay)
long silver cardi, £8 primark
accessorize necklace with postcard charm of eiffel tower, £2.50 sale
blue in essence polka dot coat, white stuff sale..

about to update blog with brooches and necklaces, as well as outfit..

I feel like a slob today. I have just taken the truck in for new aerial (valentines day gift for DH) and managed to buy a wooden chopping board I saw at Christmas and we both loved (I think its our wooden wedding anniversay this year, but he can have it for Valentine's). I am wearing jeggings ...I know..again, but they are so comfortable...and a black glittery long t, a ragged black cardigan bought on sale from the gap....I love this, even though its faded to grey and not very warm, it was one of the few purchases I made myself when I was early recovering....it wasn't pink..unlike most DH bought me...or terrible clashing brights...that my mum would buy. Also, I wore a black/gold glittery hat pulled out of an accessorise sale bin around christmas (I think it was £1;50?), purple leather gloves (gift) and my beloved scarf of greens, gold, bronzes and purples..as worn yesterday.

My outfit today:

Blue shirt dress with matching studded belt: Primark
Purple sparkly tights: New Look

Not going anywhere today, my friends are going bowling which I can't do, so they are popping in for a cup of tea and some flapjack en route so I can see them

Plans include getting on with some work for my course and sorting out some more bits to stick on ebay. Trying to be ruthless so that when I'm doing better I can reward myself with some new clothes that fit me
