How can Tesco be so busy so early in the day?! I got out of there asap! But got myself in Dad's good books by picking up his newspaper

A meet sounds a fab idea - although I'm down south in Hampshire, about 30mins from Southampton.

I've posted on a baby forum for years and they've arranged meets before and decided on Birmingham as it's pretty central and easily accessible. I haven't managed to make one yet due to bf'ing then wedding commitments.

GG - lovely to "see" you! Keep the polka dots, they sound fab.

Alex - I'm just about to buy some skinny jeans, what's wrong with them????

I managed to pick up footless tights instead of tights in Primark on Saturday - what do I do with them??!!

Ha ha! Lost, love it. Despite our penchant for mad outfits and maxi dresses we really are the sensible thrifty sisters, aren't we?

Queen, that's a good idea. We could all bring 3 items of clothing or accessories to swap.

LOL, I'll spend a lot, but only on thought out buys, things that are ''me''. In fact gaining weight has really changed shopping bhabits, as have changing lifestyle. I used to get given a lot of lovely clothes, which will never happen again, but it means I think I hav more of an idea of who I am, who I will be in clothes. I've decided than when I get to a size fourteen I'm going to master the sewing machine (I'm to difficult a shape to thing of it at the moment). I'm going to bliddy well make the pattern myself and die some silk and make a dream maxi dress. I just got to get to the size 14:o

All of which reminds me that I must get those Carvela shoes when out tomorrow. shoot me if I come home without them...its beenages since I saw them....or should I wait and see if they get to sale in my size...but then I risk losing them....oh dear, I have a dilemma!

Oh and my lovely dress I received yesterday doesnt fit which is now doubt helping my mood today....Im thinking I may be able to adjust it but not sure it has a semi boned top...do you think I could maybe cut some slits at the back and sew in some extra fabric?
