    I also noticed that about BB the lovely blue top she had on and really nicely done hair etc,

    now you really ARE thinking of the wrong person :eek::eek::eek::eek: :rotfl:I always feel so unkempt and as if I've been dragged through a bush backwards - my 'bedhead' look is the one I wear all day :rotfl:

    God, it's a good job I never published that photo of me in the fairground Toto took in Weybiza with that fairground guy behind me who kept chatting to me every time I walked past him - dear god, it's an awful photo _pale_
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

    You looked lovely when I met you Jacs! And you may feel you have put on weight, but you have a great figure.

    I used to hide behind baggy and shapeless clothing, thinking that hid how fat I was, but now i know that if you have curves, tailoring is your friend, and it's better to have well fitting (but not clingy) clothing, even if the odd lump and bump is slightly visible, because people look at the overall picture, not the individual bits, where as your eye is drawn to your worst features because you are paranoid about it.

    My tip is look in a full length mirror from a bit of a distance, and only look for a moment, and don't look directly at the bits you hate. :)

    All of a sudden I feel really tired - must be the thought of spending so much money lol!

    Going to head off to bed I think - Good night all :hello:

    Trinny and Susannah used to advocate something like that - about wearing fitted tops but then i think that just draws attention to my stomach, which is my big (pun intended!) problem area!

    BB - my hair is similar to yours - red and curly and always looks windswept

    Evening Cat, bit of a pain about the water babies!! And how dare your computer stop you popping in for a chat.

    BB - your hair looks rock-chick, not unkempt. It's fab, and it suits you.

    Night Tenmah, hope you sleep well hun. Be strong, you are doing really well.
