Morning ladies, it's an absolutely glorious day here today, if a trifle windy.

Alex, I had to give up on the Tesco website - it was driving me absolutely nuts. I did manage to see the maxi that Grammar Girl mentioned - an absolute steal for £15 and a very pretty colour. I have to be very careful with empire lines though, having a rather ample set of assets Hope you're feeling a little better now.

Daisy, hope the bloods go ok - that's something I always hate having to do. I'm such a wuss!

Lots of lovely sounding sping-like outfits around today. MIne's not so spring-like, but I am a little more dressed up for work than I would be as I'm meeting a friend after work and we're going for afternoon tea. How civilised!

50s-style mid calf orange and black narrow pencil skirt
black fitted 3/4 sleeve shirt
black peep toe platform shoes
nude fishnets

This skirt really is quite narrow at the bottom and I thought I was going to have to hitch it up just to get on the bus! It's a bit Rizzo from Grease. :rotfl:

I love the sound of your outfit! I wish I could pull off the sexy 50's secetary style look!

My hairs a Mess atm Im so sick of it...hasnt been cut in over a year now and its so unruley! Forexample I go through one hairdryer a year, as it takes me half an hour to dry it properly...my recent one blew up last night argh!

Im going to get it cut at the end of the month but dont know what to go for...needs to be easy, not too long, not too short...Im tempted to go for a full fringe but I think I will regret that!

My mission for today is to find DH a phone on contract that he can use e-mail on. He said something like a Blackberry but I don't have a clue what ones are good/bad. It needs to be one of the less pricey ones though.
Any thoughs?
TIA.
