    littlemiss - I LOVE that jacket! Shame I'm a shortarse or I'd be snapping that up too! see linda, I like that dress, but it's a bit too covery up for me. I am proud of my impressive bosom, so I do like to show it off sometimes...tee hee. And it's a little long, I have to go above knee or I look like a dwarf!

    Hi Elf, they are these, they are really nice but I am unsure how they are supposed to be worn, ie are my feet to wide for them. I have them on but thr outer sides (half way up the shoe) 'buldge'. But the shoes isnt ridged down the sides Shrug_by_melonhead_emotion.gif You see the most 'formal' I get are something like these in a boys style so I have no idea what they are 'supposed' to be like :o

    Pap I wear these all the time and I have huge wide feet :D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Your toes will grip in the end but you have to be sure to get them not too long or they just fall off! For reference I walk about 6 miles a day in mine (and why I cant wear heels very often) :D

    Linda.. that dress is gorgeous. I didn't realise that Bravissimo did clothes as well as lingerie. Oh no, another website to tempt me!

    Their clothes are beautifully made, I have some of their dresses, work shirts and tops.

    I could never wear strappy tops before I discovered Bravissimo, I have a gorgeous halter neck vest top from Bravissimo in black with a full built in bra and it's lovely! :T

    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.

    Bit of a delayed reply but no Ames, you don't need to soak green lentils, they do take about 40 mins to cook though. We quite often cheat and use tinned ones :o

    Lovely coat Elfen, am not looking at any other clothes/ shoes links though, going through clothing cold turkey I think :rotfl:

    Lots of snow here suddenly!

    I'm tempted to buy it at the weekend as my current winter coat is falling to bits. It's a LTS one that I've had for 7 years and got in the sale.

    Hmm. All this talk of shopping is making me want to spend money, but I've got ot be good!

    Gorgeous coat Elfen, I'm gutted they don't have any in my size.

    It was me that got the shoe boots, they came superfast, I ordered them Saturday (I think, could have been Friday) and they came yesterday. They're great, but the boots I got don't fit my big calves, grrr. Oh well, I'll leave them somewhere where they can look reproachfully at me whenever I'm tempted to eat crap!

    Thanks Squizz, I'll look for lentils for my next shop.

    I'm actually hoping for snow/lots of ice just for tonight cos I'd forgotten I agreed to go out and soooo don't feel like it, especially since it'll mean missing the football.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    OMG Linda... great minds think alike! I was just about to post a link to that dress, saying I had fallen in love with it but they only occassion I could think that I had to wear it was a wedding we have been invited to in July. But I wondered if it was suitable for a summer wedding, or is it a bit too 'Christmas party' with the silver and the spangles - if you see what I mean...?
