I'm quite happy for you to continue to visualise a gypsy when you read my posts, if I start posting pics of myself on the internet BF will think I've joined a dating site.

post some of him as well or some of you with him so you can show you are still together

No offence to you but with your cheeky sense of humour I picture a cross between Chris Moyles and Jeremy Clarkson. I'd hate my perception to be spoiled and you turn out to be the dead spit of Ian Watkins from the Lostprophets.

I think I am a bit older than ian watkins. One of my DDs friends said I looked like jordan out of New Found glory but I told her not to eat anymore mushrooms. There are dotted around MSE at least 3 photies of me anyway.
Perhaps you should think cross between homer simpson and victor meldrew.:D

Hi, I'd like to join in if you don't mind, I've been reading what everyone is wearing and it all sounds fab!

Today for work I wore:

Grey marl skirt (Primark, £10ish)
Grey silk wrap around blouse (East, £25 from £75)
Black vest (Primark, £4)
Black strappy t-bar shoes (Clarks, £25 from £75)

Going to put on tracky bottoms (£4), t-shirt (nicked from bf) and trainers (£28 from £100) and go to pilates in a bit.

Hope everyone had a good day!

No idea of who Jordan is - have to Google that one! I'm liking the Homer Simpson/Victor Meldrew hybrid, sounds quite endearing. Gonna have to search more closely - your daughter is beautiful, by the way.

I've been looking at some holiday snaps so I may be brave later.

I like to express myself in my perfume as they are very strict with uniform at work, we can wear make-up but I dont like wearing it for work, so I have several 'day' perfumes that I wear according to my mood - Lacoste, CKOne and Ted Baker for women.
I also wear Impulse body spray on my arms (there is good reason but its rather gross so I wont go into it here :rotfl:) I quite often get remarks from the staff about how nice I smell and I like that!

Morning lovelies,

Seems I'm the first up today What a rarity!! Plans for today - pop to the post office then spend the day with my best friend, planning to go for a mooch around some charity shops and then lunch in a tea room like a pair of old ladies!

Not 100% sure on todays outfit...at present it's Calvin Klein pj pants & a vest! Thinking, weather dependent, it's gonna be:
Stone grey high waist Topshop tulip skirt (about £5 on eBay)
White T with black zebra print (Urban Outfitters, had it for ages)
Black tights
Grey pumps
Black bag from Faith - think it's by someone called Finsk?

I seriously need to get a new winter jacket - I've two big coats but they're wayyyyyyy too thick for days like today - any suggestions?

Ooh also I'm sure someone on here is from around Leeds & goes to the car boot by the airport? Please tell me I'm not making it up?! Well I'm planning to do a bootie this Sunday and am not 100% sure where it is as I usually go up to Pannal - could you (oh mysterious one!) point me in the right direction? Thanks

xxxxxxx

Hi gymfiend, it's me! I live in North Leeds and went to the airport carboot a few weeks ago (to sell). I'm actually going this week too, but to buy! So I might spot you! Eeeek!

Okay, I'm rubbish with directions but here goes. Where are you coming from? I come from Moortown/Chapel Allerton area and this is the way I go. If you're coming from further North than that (Bradford way) reverse my directions! After Pool Bank crossroads (heading North towards the airport), there's another crossroads - going right here would take you over the Chevin towards Guiseley, going left would take you to Horsforth. You need to go left here. It's where Greenacres Cattery is, look out for that sign! When you've turned left onto that road, the carboot is your first right, you will see it though because the field is right there!

Basically your best plan of action is to keep an eye out for the next set of traffic lights after Pool Bank and turn left there. If you're coming from the other direction, down past the airport, just look out for a right turn towards Horsforth at the traffic lights.

I really hope that makes some sense! Will you be selling? Anything good?!

Here's mine for today anyway:

Pink floral ditsy print chiffon shirt with pearl buttons and high ribboned neck (£4, Laura Ashley via eBay. Although one of the buttons fell off this morning, luckily I'm wearing a vest underneath! )
High waisted denim pencil skirt (£14.99, H&M ages ago)
Kingfisher green tights (£4, M&S)
Skinny black belt with gold buckle
Black patent pumps with gold detail
Mustard yellow cardi
Small stack of skinny silver bangles
Huge silver disco ball ring

Happy Tuesday!

Morning all,

Really cold here today, was in my element last night with the window open - I love being under the covers when it's freezing outside (cannot ever sleep with the window closed! )

Today I'm wearing a "two in one" style dress I think someone called it - anyway, it's from Primark, black tshirt-esque scoop neck top half, and cotton skirt section, black with ditsy floral print in pinks yellow and green..
Mustard chunky knit cardi, to try and keep me warm in the office, Peacocks
Black leggings
Primark leopard print flats for comfort as my feet are still ruined from the weekend..
Pink cotton scarf, with kind of striped effect in diff. pinks, which my sister brought me back from India last year..(wearing to go with the pink in the dress, and also as I miss her!)
Chunky mustard/gold bracelet, Primark
Big robot earrings, made myself with shrink-paper..Don't go with anything else but I love them!!
