    Spud-u-lot.

    Buuuuuuuuuuuuuy the toooooooooooooooooooooop

    I found a dress, shock horror. Not worn a dress since my wedding day. Showed it DH this morning, and he said big girls arent supposed to wear stripes :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    But you're not big spud!

    :eek: Just had an expensive nip into town. I went for some flavoured coffee cos it looks like Whittard wont be doing it anymore - that's two suppliers of it that's gone bust in the last year. So that was a tenner, then I got a ceramic utensils holder for £3, I've wanted one for a while. There was a sugar cannister to match which said 'I've never met a calorie I didn't like', which I'd have loved but I don't use sugar so it was pointless.

    Then I managed to spend £25 in Boots - £15 mobile top up (budgeted for, I usually spend a tenner but had an extra points voucher and it should last me at least half a month longer so that's good), £5 on an electric toothbrush cos my hand keeps seizing up doing it, and a fiver on stamps, when did they get so expensive?! It'll save me money in petrol always driving to the PO when I need to send something though, and I'll use them all anyway.

    Then another fiver in Tesco, I only bought three things - milk, whoopsied bread and a whoopsied ready meal.

    Oh, and a lemon muffin from starbucks, but I had money on my loyalty card for that.

    So each thing is ok, it's just the total that was a bit of a shock!

    If your short and they are thin or vertical stripes, they might make you look taller. I concur on slapping DH, I would Pint if he said anything like that

    Bunny, I can think of a few looks that big girls shouldn't wear. Like wet look jeggins and a tight top. But then again, skinny girls look awful in them too... so maybe it's just the clothes that should be banned!

    I think most people can wear anything as long as it fits - if it doesnt fit you look silly (thats small girls too!)...

    sometimes you just have to wear stuff for your shape - like I am straight up and down so I need structured clothes to give me shape, but most people can look great in a lot more than they realise :)
