    I like that New Look dress retro, wouldn't wear it without a cardi though, which would defeat the purpose of the pretty back! ha ha


    you know what I have a lovely pink round neck 50's style cardi that would go lovely with it....oh and I are going out on Saturday may have to wear it out with that and see what I think if I hate it it can get ebayed!

    would have to put it on the blog to see what you lot think first lol

    Can everyone PM me eBay names please?

    I'm having a mourning moment over this dress:

    S6000540.jpg

    I bought it and never wore it - it's an 18 but runs small, and it was a bit tight, and I thought 'Oh, I'll slim into that' (I did used to diet). I tried it on just now before listing it and it's absolutely perfect - apart from the bust - I just cannot fit 'the girls' into it comfortably no matter how I try! :( So I suppose it's going on eBay after all.

    Yes retro please show us :)

    Home already, which is unheard of, but what a nice feeling to have a whole evening in front of me to do whatever I like :D

    Yes, a job for tomorrow! None of my stuff has sold well lately either, makes me loathe to list more stuff as getting to the post office is such a hassle to only make about a £1 after postage and fees!

    I understand... I actually had a little 'moment' earlier with a dress I was posting! I said goodbye to it! :o:o:o:o I sold it because it is slightly too big for me, and if (when!) I lose all this weight it will be far too big! So I am seeing it as a positive step.

    Shame!!! Still, at least it means you have good taste :D

    Oh girls, I'm feeling so fed up today. I only got dressed an hour ago. My cold sore has taken over my bottom lip it is at least double the normal size, I look like I've had botched surgery. DH is off work today so is looking after me and bought me an electronic zapper from Boots to try and take the swellling down.

    Sorry I just really am full of self pity! DH is out tonight so I'll catch up with blogs etc and have a bit of a natter later.

    That's an 18? it looks nothing like one on the hanger! apart from maybe the arm holes!

    (lir wonders if going around on a hanger might be flattering.....:o)
