    Don't be daft daisy. I'm sure you're not and company for them
    and why wouldn't they be happy to see you?!
    I'm being covered in ants :(

    I just feel bad because I was either crying or half asleep :o

    Daisy, don't feel bad their your grandparents they love you for who you are, though good times and bad unconditionally.

    Just let them be there for you and don't feel guilty that you need them x

    Daisy - I agree with choccymoose!!!! coulndn't have said it better.

    Choccy- I have the same problem with maxi's, I tried a shorter length dress on in New Look at its when its tiered I feel like the back end of a bus. Haven't tried the one on I got yesterday yet hoping its ok. The two I have ones fitted and has a side zip fastening and the other is from the US and is just straight with a bit of embroidery the runs around it every so oftern plus its black

    Lola, the one I brought has a side zip fastening and plaited straps, and the one I want to get that is linked on my other post is a side zip fastening too, though need to build up confidence with wearing halternecks and crossover neck lines as have a broad back and shoulders and all though I'm a 36 C always look really flat chested in crossover necklines :(

    Wish getting dressed was simple :)

    Choccy, do you have a multiway bra or one you can hack to make a halter, that should give you the boost in the boob department. I'm a D cup but if I don't wear a bra they don't look anywhere near it as they have lost their firmness and perkness, sob.
    I've been busy in the garden today, I'm amazed at how much everything grew in one week. Oh, and my dermatologist appointment came through already for mid July which is brilliant news.

    I totally just caved in and bought the Essie nail polish on my blog wish list :o
    BUT
    I got it from ebay USA, so it came to £6.03 with shipping, instead of £9 without from over here :)

    .

    Vicki, even with a Bra they look non existent, maybe its just me looking straight down lol
    For some reason I just can't not wear a bra I feel undressed, funnily enough the only day I have not worn a bra since wearing a bra was my wedding day, my dress was backless. When I had my fittings they kept drawing pen-marks on my back, so that I could go into lingerie shops to try and find something suitable, ended up with stick on things that I removed half way through the day cos they were annoying, this was 13 years ago though and pre kids so was a 34B. I remember those days sob !!

    I bought a couple of zips from the sewing shop to fix a gorgeous halter dress I bought last yr and never fixed.. Think I'll try and fix that whilst I think of an outfit for this evening.

    Choccy I agree, I can't not wear a bra. Even to bed.
