    Just orderd my sewing machine, it's coming tomorrow, I can't wait. After much deliberation I have bought:

    It's a refurbished model but it has a 2 year warranty and comes with a lot of freebies too.
    My parents are also paying the extra woohoo!

    Happy Birthday Laura! Hope you have a fab day and got lots of lovely things, you deserve it!

    Re feet, I have very small feet, but very large big toes :S

    Alex those shoes look lovely, a girl always needs a pair of black heels, so they are a good investment!

    Today I am wearing

    Black flip flops, Black floral dress, grey cardigan/blazer thing!

    Thanks very much, I'll have a good search round.

    I probably need to just go and look properly, its always hard to tell the exact shade in a photo online.


    Philippa, lovely dress and I don't think it's one to go with too formal a style shoe either personally. I've just bought a pair of nude patent bow front wedges from New Look. They actually had 2 types there. I got these to go with a white linen shift dress I've got.

    They only had 3 pairs left though. The cork wedge is quite smooth and has a subtle bit of gold runnng through. (sounds a bit ??? but it makes them a bit smarter than a rough type cork wedge)

    They also had a good stock of this style in nude with an edge of silver on the bow. They are a bit higher.

    ...........and they only show a teensy bit of toe!

    Just popping on to say thank you again for the birthday wishes :o

    Am having a wonderful day, and physically/mentally achieving more than I dared hope!
    Had a lovely time shopping, treated myself to some gorgeous non-clothes treats and still have plenty of birthday money left for (hopefully) clothes shopping Saturday :)
    The weather has been beyond perfect, too...and well, lets just say I've been spoiled!

    I shall be going to the post office to collect parcels tomorrow...pre appt with ED nurse, I'm hoping she'll let me skip the work and open exciting stuff instead ;)

    thanks you two!

    *thinks*

    I got a lovely pink heart shaped basket with lid for my bedroom, to be put away for when it is re-done whilst I'm in hospital.
    Some green and blue daisy print tweezers with pink stones on them from a gorgeous little gift shop we found.
    A silver bracelet made up of heart beads which is perfect for my dinky wrists [I had dinky wrists even at 15 stone lol]
    A credit card wallet in teal leather
    And er, presents for other people :o

    Oh and some cheapish reading glasses to tide me over till I can get to an optician after hospital. That sounds really bizarre, but I need new frames (only need them for computer etc) as mine are too big, but adjusted to the smallest they go, and until I get to a healthy weight it seems pointless to fork out on new proper frames, so got these just to help out.

    I am so utterly random!

    (that lot came to £45 total haha)


    I wont even start listing presents I've had, I have been utterly spoiled.
