    Wow Sally lots of life changing stuff there. I am sure you will be able to complete them though. Well thats if your oh starts apprichating you more :rolleyes: I think the last one is the most important, you have to be a yummy mummy now :D


    Ah thanks Pap...I always try to be a Yummy Mummy...so don't want to be one of those frumpy un trendy ones (even if im not up there with the fashion shoulder pads and neon) so I like to stay to classic bits

    B told me the other day that I needed to start using my brain more :rotfl:don't you just love the innocence of children!

    Trouser leggings I think Ames...no idea what they are!

    I also hate footless tights - whats the point of them - if you want footless buy leggings surely??

    Hello, we're back from the very snowy barbeque :wave:

    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 she was just shopping. We attract strange people where I work :rolleyes: Ah well we have to have something to entertain us :rotfl:

    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

    Yep it is, never read a dickens before either. I will next year read these 'old' books. I want to read little women :A I will look into David, I am not one for 'happy' stories but this is great. I prefer murders and law stuff :rolleyes:

    Oh btw I edited my post above.... I think I ahve shocked you :rotfl:

    Yummy Mummys are fab and you looked amazing at Weybiza! I dont think you have to be trendy just yummy. I think sometimes its hard to stay 'in fashion' so its nice to have your own unique style. Aww bless her I think she means well. Sometimes its hard though and you allow life to become mundane, you going back to college will be fab. You can also then inspire Bea to learn more :T

    I think its all fine if you are under 18, otherwise you have to be careful with that 'fashion of the moment stuff'...

    I like, on other people, but there is no way I would wear a tunic dress for example because all it does is gather around my hips and make me look even more shapeless. You have to wear whats right for you rather than whats 'in' :D

    I do love fashion though but I have found it hard to adapt to my 'running me' shape...

    OMG I love this but £80:
