    Morning, We've all been up since around 5, Dylan has a bit of a cold and so was an even worse sleeper than usual. I plan on staying in my dressing gown for as long as possible.
    I had planned to make make pancakes with dylan but need eggs and milk so will see if I have the energy to get to the shops later.
    It's rainy and miserable here which also is excuse not to go out. I feel my whole day is ruined already as had planned to go and feed the ducks today with some crusts.

    Hope you're all less grumpy than me today xx

    I might make some at home too when I get home from the gym..Maybe persuade a friend round as pancake mix is one of those things it's impossible to make in small quantities it seems, and i'll get fed up after about 1 :S

    Thanks girls, pic about to go on blog when I get chance, although still furiously listing my way through mens shirts on ebay lol..I'm fairly sure there will be no interest!

    Aw, Vicki, I hope Dylan feels better too and you summon up some energy and feel less grumpy.
    I'd be fed up if I couldn't feed the ducks, too, I love going down to the local lake!

    PF- yes, pancakes are impossible to make in small batches!

    Tea, that dress is beautiful!

    Vicki, hope Dylan feels better soon and you feel less sleepy soon.

    PF, lovely sounding outfit :)

    Daisy, Yay for productiveness!

    I am going round to my friends this evening for a pancake party :) I consider myself a fairly good cook but I am rubbish at making pancakes! The OH is a pancake king in our house, and is very proud of this as it is the only thing he cooks!

    Today I am wearing

    Brown ugg style boots
    Black leggings
    Long sleeved black top
    Oversized leopard print tshirt
    Grey boyfriend cardigan
    White plaited belt
    New heart pendant on silver chain

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    Oh I'd completely forgotten it was Shrove Tuesday! Not entirely sure I can work pancakes into the diet so I may have to skip them :(

    Hope Dylan's feeling better soon.

    I'm back in trousers today:

    Black cords - Monsoon
    White 3/4 sleeve tshirt - M&S
    Long sleeveless green cardi - Primark
    Dark green/teal pashmina - Monsoon again I think
    Cream shell type earrings - Accessorize

    Not sure if I'll blog pics of it today or not - my hair is far too dirty to have my photo taken :rotfl:

    Right I'm off to do battle at the shops. I am going out on Friday and all the other girls who will be there are like super fashionistas who are all super skinny (and young) whenever I spend time with a lot of them I feel really frumpy so am off to try and find an outfit in town. I hate shopping in town especially when I'm looking for something for a particular event - am hoping that I have a productive trip.

    PF - Postman pushed a lovely package through my door this morning - thank you everything is lovely :D

    Not sure exactly what I'll wear into town probably black trousers, some kind of v neck top and comfy shoes for trapsing round the shops.

    Wish me luck!

    GL Shazza, hope you have found something marvellous to accentuate your curves.

    I've been up since 3.30 am taking parents off for their long-haul flight, got back and DH is having a play with his DAB radio we won from Bacardi, and then I think we're heading back to bed for a couple of hours.

    And it's snowing now :(
