    I hate them - I keep seeing them on people over 14 and it makes me feel unwell, its like the sparkles/seqiuns trend this xmas - great but if your over 25 no chance of working it unless the piece is very expensive!!

    And dont get me started on the stupid shoulder pads in dresses thing!


    :confused::confused: Wasn't that back in the 80's...well thats when I wore them last as a teenager. You mean to say they are back..pmsl I am SO out of touch with fashion

    I hate the sales so I'm glad they finish early now - I like to buy stuff ahead of trend or classic not last season (leather look leggings anyone :eek:) :D

    Cant wait to get my bonus at the end of Jan - got some lovely pieces picked out that I'm going to buy including some new leather boots :D

    Pap - you will get there - didnt you lose 8lbs this week!! :)

    :rotfl: Becky, what I dont understand is all this neon stuff. I kid you not a lady was in my work on Tuesday wearing a neon scarf and those leg warmers. Only problem is she must have been at least 45+ :rolleyes: I usually take no notice and think each to there own but I did laugh at her :p

    Ohh is that a money bonus from work Becky :confused: You will have to show us your boots when you buy them :rotfl:

    Yep 8lbs, but most of it was water due to totm. The thing that is amazing is each time I lose weight I am at the lowest weight of my adult life. Well the lowest weight I have ever known myself. So every week its amazing. Next week I will be in the 11stomes which is fantastic :beer: I wuldnt have been able to do it without the support of those one here and in real life though. So I owe it to loads of people :D

    I am bored of Taggart now, I think I may go to bed soon and finish my christmas book, 'a christmas carol'. I have never read it before only watched different tv series/movies and it actually a very good book :j

    I do it when I am at work (I never bite them over the weekend) I know why - its because I suck my thumb at home but obviously dont at work so its just something else for my teeth to do - I tried rolling blue tack in my hands but that didnt help so I am going to be weird and suck my thumb at work for a while on and off and see if that helps break the habit :D

    if it helps...why not :D

    Yeah back for now (but will be out again in a few weeks hopefully)!

    I am hoping for some colour in the spring (winter has been very black/grey) and some more straight shapes so thats what I'm after at the moment and if I buy carefully it doesnt matter if they take a bit longer to come back as it should be pretty classic as well!

    Neon is two seasons ago Pap - tell her that :p

    11 stones wow!!! That is great - I cant believe how much dedication you have given to this :D

    Yeah I'm getting a one off payment for work outside of my remit - after tax it will be around £1000 so I am saving half and spending half on clothes and a 50th pressie for my mum!

    Becky, I totally agree about leather look leggings, they're vile. and what on earth are 'treggings' (I think that was it), I've kept seeing them in the sales.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Is that Dickens Pap? If you like that you will LOVE David Copperfield - its my favourite Dickens (although Little Dorrit is also very good) :D

    You're doing well on the list Snags :)
