Tara the earrings are cute, I have them and love them (amour ones) and you can buy them with the money from your skirt, thus keeping you spend neutral..

And 100 pairs of shoes is really not that bad lol..If you think that's bad then I'm not even going to count..

And Im shallow, I love my shoes

I'd love the help of one of you lot! I just know I'm either going to come home with a load of crap or nothing at all because I've got fed up of looking at myself in mirrors.

*is equally shallow* But they make me feel happy and happiness has got to be a good thing surely, even if it is caused by materialistic stuff?

I saw that cupcake necklace today - I wanted it but resisted and put it back. Feel quite proud of myself today, I really was thinking with my head & not my heart.

Main reason I'm posting - I was in Ethel Austin today and they had tons of tights (black/grey/purple/etc) reduced, all sizes. I got some 100 denier opaques for £1 but they had some for 50p too, some were 40 and 60 denier. I've tried them on and they seem pretty good quality for the price

Ooh thanks for the tip CL. I may nip down to the nearest Ethel Austin and see what I can get

re the accesorise stuff, I went in the other day looking specifically for some of the things I'd seen on line and the ones I found...weren't as nice in the flesh so to speak....I was quite disappointed in fact.

I couldn't see some of them I was going to look at, the parrots on a hop for example....I'm hoping they are as funny as they seem online, as I need some parrot earings...really I do.

Totally agree lost, soamy things I've had from accessorize over the yrs which have broken or fallen apart, i think the local store expects everything I buy to be returned for conplaints. But for what they actually sell they are an expensive shop..I tend to try and make my own copy with some of the pieces, where possible..

I'm going to the ice bar this saturday, and I feel like I have nothing to wear. I'm generally quite comfortable in my own skin, i'm a size 16ish due to a lot of meds i'm on, can't change it so I try not to complain ! But my darling friend who I love to pieces is half my size, showed me her dress, she looks simply stunning, I feel like i'm going to look a right frump in the jersey dress I have now

Aw tea you'll look lovely, I promise


Morning all, lots of chatter last night whilst I was in bed Didn't sleep much better but oh my, how much more comfortable was I with the memory foam?! It's so nice not to be in pain every time I shift around on the mattress. I owe my grandparents a very gratitude filled phone call this morning.

Spending wise, I've lost the guilt over the earrings haha, they were bought with ebay proceeds. I have no debt, and am very careful with my money and everything is bought with careful weighing up, so I'm just going to enjoy it
*ends justifying to self*

Hoping today is a better day, just so much to think about right now.
Plan to make muffins and try again with the course work, but be less harsh on myself if I can't manage to meet my own unrealistic at times expectations.
