    I'm the same spud.......however I've come to the realisation that nothing is going to work miracles with me I'm afraid!! I could easily go on a spending spree with a CC (I worked out the other day I have 22k of available credit on all my cards totalled up!!!!) but I know I'd probably feel a bit sick afterwards, years ago I used to go down to town and spend £60/£70/£80 on an outfit, maybe a cheap bracelet and probably some chocolates on the way back via Thorntons. I'd get home, hang it up, think - wow - lovely new clothes and then see the CC bill the next month and wonder why I'd done it in the first place when there was every chance it was just shoved into the wardrobe not likely to see the light of day again soon.

    Have you got a pair of black trousers and a black top? or a black skirt and black top? then just accessorise with jewellery? like maybe a silver tone belt and a chunky silver tone necklace and bracelet?

    I have tones of jewellery here i'm happy to loan out if it will help anyone (obviously apart from earrings

    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.

    all this dress/shoe/bag talk :( I won't be buying anything new for Bunny's do. I have 1 outfit which isn't even particularly glam that I can wear (that isn't either dog walking or work clothing) and I know that at least 1 of you have seen me wear it before and I might even have to re-dye the top as it has probably faded again :(

    BB Hug_by_Abfc.gif if i could get away with a hoodie and trousers I wound, but the fact that its my first ever invite to any party... Yes guys, billy no mate's IRL I want to make a little bit of effort, well try to :p Are you traveling up Saturday or Friday? I was going to get there Friday but the train was an extra £10 and the room £45 :eek:
    I know - and to be honest it wouldn't bother me if everyone turned up in rags. I just feel a bit of a poor relation when I see lots of dress talk etc :o

    Awww BB, come join me... No dress' here! I think the whole idea is we all celebrate with Bunny while having a mini meet. If lenny/Pepe had their way I guess it would be a nekid party :eek: But there you go :D Please don't feel any inferior, you are amazing and super beautiful :A

    It has a built in drawstring type belt hun, but not a proper belt.

    I was thinking moonstone, but love grey picasso jasper, and quartz/jasper stuff. As I said, nothing delicate, I dont suit delicate :rotfl:

    grey jasper will look good

    you can make a black dress look completly different every time you wear it with different accessories

    Precisely Claire, that's exactly why I chose the black one that I posted a pic of earlier, it's classic Marilyn Monroe style!

    I feel quite proud of myself..........we have been invited around the neighbours for a takeaway and drinks and we have declined the takeaway and said we would rather eat first as I have some roast pork that needs using up.

    Plus we had pizza yesterday:o local shop does BOGOF on pizzas between 5pm and 7pm........how can you not have payday pizza with that offer!

    Need to pop out for a bottle of wine though, cant really go in with half a bottle of leftovers from last night:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
