  • Just looked back at your older outfits - you're a jewellery maker too! I've been so lax with mine recently - I make under the name pinkplectrum if you're in a google-friendly mood. :)

    I need goanmad to convince me to get up early tomorrow and head down to the big car boot sale to scout for bargains! :o 7.30am is a very ridiculous time to be awake on a Sunday, especially as we're planning to go out with friends tonight. I WILL go home at 11, I WILL go home at 11... :rotfl:

    It's the last carboot of the year though, so I really should. Does anyone know why carboots still start so early? Surely they'd attract more customers if they started at a reasonable hour, say 11.30am?! :)

    Grammargirl - you MUST get up tomorrow morning, just think of all those bargains awaiting you! I've decided on a night in so I can be up with the lark. xx

    As your outfits are always so delightfully fabulous, I think I'll let myself be convinced! Our friends have popped out for booze, we're settling down to watch some trashy telly and hopefully I'll fall asleep on the sofa before long! :T
  • GrammarGirl- I hope you got home at a reasonable hour ;)

    I was really good and was home by 11:30, I can't drink at the moment so declined the offer of staying on to go clubbing after the meal/drinks dealy thing that happend. I also had a really hard time with body image and felt very insecure, especially next to the bride to be who is STUNNING (and lovely with it!)
    Manage to steal a few hen night trinkets as souvenirs. I don't need to drink to have a good time.

    Anyway, I was freeeezing when I got home, so decided coffee would be a great idea and as a consequence I was up till 3am. Needless to say I'm exhausted and am therefore slobbing around in the following:

    Boyfriend jeans- silence and noise, £5 UO sale
    Long sleeve cream top- £1.50 or something silly from Primark
    Light brown cardigan with cream reindeer pattern- *cant remember how much* New Look
    and fluffy slippers.

    Ah Daisybella, glad you had a nice time. I bet you looked fab in your outfit x

    Today's outfit is a bit experimental as our washer dryer broke yesterday evening, it's about 6 years old and has been in trouble for about a year so it was expected.

    However I am somewhat behind on the laundry and was hoping to do it all this weekend, so I will have to be inventive with what I have clean until Thursday when the new one should be delivered.

    I am wearing:

    Summer vest - blue and white circular/tribal design with brodiere anglaise (sp?) trim (not quite long enough as it ends about and inch above crotch but cardi covers up my bum!) Is this a major faux pas?
    Jeggings (again - I know, I promise they don't smell yet!)
    grey boots
    Long grey thin jersery cardi with roll up sleeves.

    No jewellery as today is housework so would just get in the way. Might put some on later to go to my MIL's on the scrounge to borrow her washing machine! Oh and to drop off her birthday card/present!

    Have a good day everyone x
  • Vicki, As long as your not showing your crotch in public, your fine! You get away with more with jeggings anyway as they are thicker than standard leggings!
    Given some of the sights I saw last night...you have nothing to worry about ;)
    Hope you get your washing machine sorted, I'd cry if ours went!
  • I'm shuffling in sheepishly... Didn't to go bed 'til 2.30am so didn't make it to the car boot! Oh the shame! We didn't actually go out but stayed up watching films, eating pizza and playing games. Fun times!

    Anyway. I'm going for a wander round the shops and leaving the boys to tidy up. Not quite dressed yet so will update later! :)

    PS: Daisybella, I bet you looked lovely in your dress, it sounded fab!
  • Afternoon all!

    So far today I've done my workout and washed my hair, and am currently just chilling out at home and looking at possible books I might like for my birthday on Amazon, so my outfit today is:

    - White Indiana Jones T-shirt (Truffleshuffle.co.uk)
    - Long sleeved white top (Dorothy Perkins)
    - Blue/black jeans (Gap)

    We are however off out for a pub dinner to celebrate my sister's birthday later, but I've no idea what I'll be wearing for that yet!

    Have a good day everyone!
