    I tried my party dress on tonight guys, and it looked and felt amazing!
    It does look bare without a simple necklace, I've got an antique marcasite necklace that was my Grandma's which goes perfectly :T :T

    I'll post some pics this weekend.

    I'm liking those words, makes me think this isn't code for "BTW, I bought that necklace from last week...":D

    thanks for your sympathy folk. I just felt kicked in the teeth - trying to be good by making some debt clearing cash then getting told by ebay this counts as a "strike" against me under a "3 strikes and your account is closed" rule. :( Now I'm really stressed about my other stuff for sale and just thinking I should give up and give it all to the charity shop, not list any more.

    In good money saving news I got a free lunch at work, so not all bad :)

    No I didn't buy it :D

    It's an absolutely beautiful necklace, I love it. It's a bit fragile because it's so old so I don't tend to wear it often

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    No, I'm looking for winter boots on ebay, can't carry on with slip on pumps for much longer! I'm being too picky though I think.

    Just need a hat and gloves now and I'm all sorted for when it gets cold!
