bz fingers crossed for the dress coming today. aww bless df hope he caught up on some sleep last night and feels better today. hope your cold turns out to be very short lived and goes away asap

Cheers dude. After a nightmare conversation with a horrible manager woman this morning about it not being there and her - believe it or not - telling me I had to be more patient(:eek:) and trying to blame me for the fact it wasn't there yet, it arrived this afternoon. Which I was very :j about.... until I went in and (altho the dress is lovely - pics to follow) spoke to same horrible manager woman who was vile in person too. Completely deflated my mood and now I just want to get the dress out of there and seek alterations elsewhere (would use t'other B2B's new seamstress lady who is lovely). She also dropped the bombshell that if I wanted the ties to be made for me through their seamstress (as previously discussed) that I a) "should've" ordered the fabric when I ordered the dress :shocked: (never discussed as necessary) and b) would cost me not only the £20 per metre for the fabric (from which 3 can be made, apparently so I would need 3m for 8 ties) but also an additional £10 per tie. :shocked: She was so vile, and the experience of trying to get the dress and the right coloured fabric swatches etc so rubbish, that I now don't trust them or want to be around them and just want to get my dress out of there as soon as humanly possible, whilst not wanting to lose the only chance of getting my ties made. So tomorrows order of business is ringing every conceivable seamstress and/or tailor to find someone else that can made them for me and either a)tracking down the right colour material myself or b)cutting up some bridesmaids dresses/shawl things to make them from. Stress. It's been such a rollercoaster of a day and I can't cope with much more tbh...

DF isn't feeling much better either As for me regaining any health I'm taking a stay-at-home day tomorrow and hoping to get a new seamstress/tailor for the ties over the phone....

BZ -My vote goes to 3 front and 4 back- although whatever you chose you will look fab as its hard to choose between them.

The front/back numbers have to be together - ie the front and back no. 1s are the same style. But I shall now reveal that I have gone for number 4, which is in the makeup shots, and I don't think the pic does it justice...

bzshe sounds horrid! good luck with getting someone else to do the ties today. a stay at home day is a good plan i think.

sharon i darent look up the handbags but you do deserve a treat, have a nice outing today to get it and then enjoy using it.

paw i can actually picture us all helping with the getaway

lw hope the house feels more normal this morning and not so empty as it did when peggy left yesterday.

sue good luck with the jam making.

kass, raeh, is this the last week of school holidays?

i need to go to tescos this morning (have finall found a cat treat that whitney likes for the first time in her life, but she ran out), before it starts gettin busy at 8 but its freezing outside, feels like autumn mornings already. so much for the nice summer they predicted this year then. then i ahve to decide if i want to volunteer enough to let them rview my dla, or indeed if it is even worth the hassle and stress of doing so or should i just forget it and leave things ticking along nicely as they are.

Hi everyone :wave:

pcl we have this week and next for hols still although i have to go in thursday and friday next week for preparation :rolleyes: I have now found out though that my 2 arent back until tuesday apparently so i will have to trust them on monday to be left alone :eek: it will be so odd having ds2 at secondary school ... where does time go

Sharon ... wooo go for it Im a sucker for handbags and undies lol. I prefer Tula to Radley but I love Radley too, If money was no object though it would be a mulberry for me every time go check those out

sue good luck with the jam, iv only ever tried once and it was like toffee :rotfl:

suep

lw Ive made the jam, but because I was doing other stuff as well I think I might have boiled it too long, it seems really sticky, do you think it will be ok ? anyone want some jam, one lump or two :rotfl:

Ive got an app at the hospital this afternoon to see the Uro, just hoping I wont be there too long, I hate the waiting.

purplecatlover

sue*fingers crossed * then that things are running to schedule this afternoon and you dont have too much waiting around. hope the jam does turn out edible, doesnt matter about anything else as long as its edible

house fairies have been, i should ahve got them regularly years ago.

Sue, the jam should be fine - it's worse if it doesn't set, inho. Good luck with the hosp.

Sharon good for you; every woman should have a nice handbag! I recently had to replace mine, as it was getting quite tatty; I had to get it sent over from Belgium as I couldn't find anything I liked here. I have (again) gone for a Belgian tapestry bag.This is it: http://www.millefleurstapestries.com/zoom.dhtml?img=/fotos/RYMED8962_de.jpg,title=shoulderbag

Pcl I wish I could cope with having a house fairy, but I'm afraid it'd stress me out. House still feels a tad empty, but Molly-Dog's coming again in October.;)
