  • Hello :)

    Hope everyone is well? I too have college work to be getting on with Daisy, I just can't bring myself to open the book...oops.

    I got some black suede knee high boots today from ebay. I forgot I'd bought them so it was a lovely surprise, they're as good as new and only £7.50 so I am chuffed. They will do for over the skinnies on a night out I reckon.

    I got my DS some Jasper Conran pjs (v posh!) in the Debenhams sale because I bought the Alice and Wonderland thing and I felt guilty! There's a lot of emotions involved in shopping!

    I'm not wearing much exciting, got a blue batwing cardi on so dressed for comfort.

    Re: the pear shaped ladies - me too! I like it that way too, I have "curvy" thighs and I'm fed up of feeling like they are some sort of affliction. I feel slimmer in tighter trousers, wide legged trousers make me feel like a grecian column, not good! I also have a chest so smocks make me look ridiculous. It is nice to finally realise this and stop chasing some mini-length shift dress look (which looks great, just not on me).

    I shall climb off my soap box now ... :cool:

    daisybella, what is your course (if I'm not being too nosey)? xo

    media law through the NCTJ distance learning programme [national council for the training of journalists]

    I only started it just under a month ago and have almost finished 1, of the 2 modules and have until the end of June to get both done and submitted.

    I am being way too hard on myself, but as soon as I start anything involving education I go in to full scale "nothing but 24/7 devotion is good enough" mode and spend the entire time anxious and guilty even though I LOVE the course :o
  • Well I'v loaded my pics, please excuse the attitude face in pic 4! and I look like I've been taken smile lessons from Victoria beckham, which is why I don't often smile!!

  • Daisy why not give yourself the rest of the day off and commit to doing so many hours tomorrow?

    Tara - I don't need encourgement!! Stopping and thinking often helps. and I think you've got a lot to share on a blog, mybe start with details and build up? my OH thinks I'm a loon anyway so I'm just living up to that by taking pics of myself and posting them on the web.

    I've got the iceskating on in the background, so pretty

    Yeah, I think the more I try and force today the less I will get done, it just feels like failure :o
    It doesn't help that I'm not home alone today, I work better when I am. Idk why haha. I have my dad home all next week but I can work with him in the house as he doesn't chatter to me like Mum does :p

    I'm having a rough day I think, too little sleep has knocked my concentration. I now how my memory foam mattress thingy though so fingers crossed!


    Sorry to be such a moaner all the time :(
  • you're not a moaner all the time hun xx

    Thanks for all the photo tips girls! I think OH would be disgusted if I asked him to take pics of me in various outfits for no apparent reason. :rotfl: I'm also not sure I'm brave enough to publish them to a blog. Maube individual details e.g. earrings or some of my shabby chic house finds?

    Alexnikov - I love the sound of that sweet website, I love getting a quarter of boiled sweets! There are a few shops here that still sell them, mmm.

    I haven't actually told anyone I've got a blog. I'm not ashamed of it or anything, I dunno, I just don't quite want to tell anyone :o

    They're on Quidco too ;)

    Queenie you look amazing :D
