Fabulous New Fashion chat - Dressed up or Down - Everyone Welcome!!

Morning.
DB, Firstly ((hugs)) and secondly I think it's good that you're going to be taking a break from work for a while. You can spend those hours doing something positive for you now. Don't let those three hours (plus commute and getting ready time) get swallowed up, maybe schedule a nice bath or some reading into the slot, or I assume you get "homework" from your appointments, you could do some then.

I'm feeling a bit down/overwhelmed with everything, individually each issue is pretty tiny but I'm bogged down by it all. I keep saying to DH that I would be a lot happier :living near my parents so they can helpout occasionally.

I'm wearing:
Denim coloured jersey shired waist dress - £5 Republic
Orange batwing cardi - £5 Tesco
Grey leggings - £3.75 Sainsburys
Tan wedge sandals - £7.50 Debebenhams
Long silver and turquoise necklace - £1 Topshop

It's a bit of a mish mash but it looks OK.

I really, really have to do the passports today or nobody will be going on holiday apart from me...hmmm now theres a thought!
I phoned the passport helpline and the lady said that the face position on my photo will be fine as under 6's don't have such strict rules so I'm going to go see if I can get a refund from SnappySnaps as the man in there said they were no good. I already phoned them yesterday to complain as I then noticed that there were shadows in the background which is also not allowed. Thet said I can go in and get more taken.

Vicki, sorry your feeling overwhelmed lovely, I wish I had some kind of suggestion for you

Ah I know what I need to do, should write a list and just work through it but I'm in a sort of lazy/procrastinative place right now and it seems too much effort, blah.

Oh I love lists for when i;m feeling like that..
just writing each little thing down seems to help make it seem a lot more manageable..and the good feeling when you manage to check off certain tasks as you complete them, defintely helps me anyway!

Sorry to hear you are feeling like that vicki. Take things easy and definitely do the list. I agree with Char you feel so much better if you check something off you've completed. Hugs.

I have a list on a big white board. Because my memeory is so bad I have to put things like ''take medicine'' or ''brush teeth (1. am, 2 pm) on it...I'm not joking!

Ticking things off a list is also might satisfying, and when you have to write such silly things as I do it seems like you get loads done in one go! I recommend it...

Ahh feel much better already. DH had a big visit today for the company Vice President which went really well. His boss was so pleased that he's paying for me and DH to go out for a meal - hooray! I'm so proud of him.

giddynici

Nice one. Congrats to hubby and enjoy the meal.

Now I have you all to tell me off if I don't do it. I keep thinking of joining Flylady but I keep putting it off.

I should really get my passport photos done, but I hate my hair at the moment. However i'm thinking of getting a fringe put in again which isn't allowed on passports, stress indeed!

Hope you're feeling alright Daisy I agree that you just need to concentrate on yourself atm.
I feel a little self absorbed on here lately but my memory is so awful by the time i've scrolled down a page I forget who said what. I think it's to do with being so exhausted, there isn't room to store short term memory!
PF - (i think it was you who was exhausted) please please please listen to your body and look after yourself!

Outfit today is just black jeggings and white cherry print tshirt at the moment. Planning on going to to town to sort of finances and try get some firmbum Reeboks.
