    Oh anyone with an Ethel Austin near them, my local one had an extra 20% off everything today. Which means I could have bought a third pair of the teal and indigo tights at 80p...but I thought three pairs of the same tights is a tad excessive, even for me :o

    Tights- PRIMARK, and also places like dorothy perkins, river island, new look, ethel austin etc are great especially when there are sales on!

    My hair is clean now :) have to go and do the big food shop with Mum later and don't want to bring shame to her :p

    **Sulks** will need to wait to the Easter weekend to get to a Primark. Normally go with my mum but i'm now working weekends again!

    Ethel Austin is near by, I may walk into town tomorrow (about 4 miles each way with a buggy and a HUGE hill) as OH has the car. Not paying the bus fare! Hehe i'm mean.

    New Look etc is erm way to far to walk o i'll just check out there website!

    Afternoon lovelies,
    Just about survived hosting Coffee Morning, there were 7 mums, 7 toddlers and 2 babies and our house in not big at all!
    It's a lovely group but hosting is a nightmare, the other mum's all have rich older husbands, cleaners and massive houses so it's easier for them on their turn.

    DB glad the docs went OK, if you need "movement" have you tried glycerin supposotries, they were a must have when I was ill.

    It's a gorgeous day here, I'm going to head off to the garden centre in a minute and pick up some essentials and get outside sowing seeds with Dylan, he's just fallen asleep so a sneaky transfer into the car should mean I can shop in peace!

    Hope you all have sunshine where you are! xx

    Vicki- I've tried those in the past and didn't get on with them at all, may have to try again though.
    Eek, 7 mums and 9 kids sounds MAD!

    Okay next silly question: Would a boyfriend cardigan be okay work wear? i.e. black one, coloured top, black trousers, etc?

    I feel so silly asking this but i'm so out of the clothing loop its unbeleivable.

    Yes, I think it would work, especially to tone down something a little over smart...or in a great colour match/contrast. I don't wear them, but think they look great.
