Oh but Goan, we will miss you. bring back lots of beautiful photos of stuff for your blog!

Tara, we are girls of a feather, beauty loving tightwads saving furiously for homes and tottering about with our flats in bags.

Right, had a quick freshen up shower and about to put some slap on. Tonight sort of feels like a ball dress night, but not quite. I thought about my long black dress, which has been out of service for a while now, but its too....harsh. I thought about a taffeta full length skirt with a long sleeved t, but that didn't feel right either. So...back to the wardrobe.

after due consideration, and no small amount of stamping and wondering what on earth I'm doing owning some stuff.....

grey leggings
black knee length dress
light weight grey silky cardigan.
grey sunglasses
wedding ring
blue and green bead bracelets.
grey pearl ear suds (almost never wear these)
make up extremely minimal, mascara over the ends of top lashes, a smear of red lipstick, a spot of red blusher. (feeling hot anyway)


any way it all looked flat and wrong. My hair looks really dark today, almost dark brown.nothing like normal colour. so I got a string of large coloured murano beads and have pinned them across like an alice band I wonder if I would have been better pinning it as a circle, like a little coronet instead? Anyway, its in now. I did get photos on phone to ask alex and db but for some reason at night the pictures come out almost sepia or black and white. the colours I wanted on top of head are those at either end, so behind my ears...

I'm going going to wear powder blue and metallic stripe heels. Oversized grey handbag, and very exclusive supermarket shoppingbags.....

did you think I was going out, out? No, I'm going to get dh and pick up some supper for him, a box of tissues (I never have tissues when I need them!) and a box of doggy biscuits.

Hello lovely ladies,
I've been over to Enfield today to take my Nan out to lunch/mystery shop. She had a lovely time and it's nice to be able to take her out for something to eat because she doen't get out much these days - well she is 97!

I've updated my blog with some green eyeshadow and today's outfit which is orange top with black floral dress, black boyfriend jacket, black tights and wedges. Writing that it does sound really black, maybe a subconcious effort to counteract the bright make up?

I've a stew bubbling away for dinner and I'm going to put some highlights in this evening all ready for the chlorine tomorrow to turn green lol!

daisybella

Wow 97 is amazing Vicki! How lovely she is still able to get out and about.
*goes to check blog*

Ooh I was so ready for my afternoon off work, the ex was doing my head in with his nasty little remarks :-/
but I had a lovely lunch and wander round town with my sister and we've made her a skirt this evening and are now off to teskimo's for petrol and a look round the clothes sale lol.
And then apparently the confusing one is calling round :-/

daisybella

Don't let him in PF!
