    Oh dear! Hope there are still lots of bargains left :D sizes can vary a lot so it's best to read the reviews (or read the reviews on Amazon if there are none) you get so many compliments wearing them, last year at the horse racing I had 4 separate ladies come over to ask where I get my clothes :D There are some super cute girls dresses too, not sure what sizes they go up to.

  • The best thing about them is they are not made in China.

    Batch cooked low cal curry made, with jars shock horror! Mr t healthy living balti, I usually make my own but sometimes it's good sometimes not, six portions at 200 cals each ready for next week.

    First proper bbq of the year, ds 2 went out, dd not hungry, I was eating the curry, hardly worth the bother :rotfl:

    Since new year I have lost 5.5lb (well lost and then put on a few times!) and I want to lose a total of 39lb a seriously long way to go :eek:

    Feeling more positive than I have in a while about it though and am just focusing on food and alcohol first - or lack of it :( when I am doing well I will start exercising more too. I hope I don't start being a diet bore, but if I have posted I have been drinking or eating naughty stuff, please feel free to tell me off :D

    I saw the Lindy Bop sale yesterday - but I was strong and resisted!!! :D:D


    Hope the boys do well in their exams :) It all seems so much more stressful now than when I took my O levels (showing my age there!!!!)

    I had a look on the Lindy Bop site, they have some lovely things.

    I like the nautical stuff - I like anything with an anchor!

    Thanks greent, I hope they do too :o

    Well done resisting, they have put other styles on now - the temptation !! :rotfl:

    Dh is in a right grumpy mood, I am trying to declutter the conservatory and there is a spider the size of Aragog lurking in there which he has lost when I asked him to get rid. Also a cast iron double bed for dds room which can't go in the log cabin as it will make it look untidy apparently - but it's fine to look at it from the living/ dining room though :mad: I will continue the battle to move the bed tomorrow I think , let him think he has won for tonight :rotfl::rotfl:

    Stuck to the diet, didn't drink and have not touched the TWO cheesecakes dh bought for himself and left out on the kitchen worktop to taunt me.

    Well done :T- I may have resisted Lindy Bop, but I probably wouldn't have resisted cheesecake! :rotfl:

    Missing cc located, so I have transferred the max allowed to the new AA 0% cc, £1982 so now a total of £5995 on the new card and a balance on the old one of £1143.07 which I will pay off today from the 10k. Minimum payment on the new card is now 2.5% pm so will cost a bit more than the old ones at 1%, reducing the money going to the mortgage slightly.

    Shopping cc misbehaving again, the statement date is always the 1st but last month it was created days late. I rang the bank and they have opened an investigation as on their system it's showing as the first and they don't understand why, nor do the technical team, it's all a bit odd and a pain when I was attempting a lower budget this month and now it will have to stretch a bit further.
