Well, I'll get whatever it is when I go out at lunch, and hopefully it should sort it!! Think it's feeling woirse now as i can't stop thinking about it, so prob imagining some of it ;S
Also, definitely getting a cold as well feel all headachey and bunged up bleugh..

But ebay is going ok today, have sold a few more bits and bobs which have been instantly paid for, so shall post those at lunch, and also got paid for my surveys this morning, waaay more than i'd thought so may bid on a pair of shoes i have my eye on this afternoon

Also workwise, all seems to be going well today, after a frustrating week of losing sleep over the finances ;S

Oh that reminds me that I need to ebay stuff I could do with a servant to help me out - there just isn't enough time in the evenings to get everything done!

I don't know how I ever fitted eBay in when i worked full-time!

If you've got loads to wrap the those self-seal polybags are brilliant (I buy mine from eBay) for saving time wrapping, you can scribble the address directly on to the bag using an indelible marker pen and as they are lightweight they keep PO costs to a minimum.

Luckily I haven't had to buy any extra packaging in the last yr or so, my mum sends all hers in to re-use, and i use everything from work..
i fit it in ok, but miss optimum listing / ending times (apparently Sunday eve) as i don't have internet at wkends unless i come to the office, and i nevr rly have time..but i find i manage to pop to the PO a couple of times a wk, so as to keep on top of whatever has sold / been paid, and wrap / list when i get to work early / after work / lunch..

my eyes are hurting from too much cad work this morning i may have a break, and could be your servant alex lol

Think I need to go through the wardrobe and work out exactly what still needs to go. Those bags sound like a great idea though Vix - I used leftover padded envelopes for the last lot as I had bags full of them but anything that brings the postage price down would be ideal.

Char - no, ebaying is boring! We shall do fun stuff instead

I've got an afternoon of creating autumn/winter event tickets ahead of me. Joy Must stop procrastinating and just get on with it.

DS's have just been to the shop by themselves and so are stuffing themselves stupid with sweets - they're suddenly growing up so quickly , its DS2's birthday tomorrow so have spent the morning making fairy cakes etc he had his party before the school holidays so tomorrow its just tea party for friends in the street -so only about 8 of them!!!! I tend to feed them and then scatter them;)

Ladies,

I know I am a shameless user and abuser of this thread and its expertise but I come seeking advice once more (I actually read religiously, I just don't have anything worthwhile to say!).

I have an event to go to soon, which is 'cocktail' in dress code. Due to various hormonal/medical issues I currently have a horrible outbreak of spots all across my chest and back. I'm not talking a few, I'm talking lots of horrible red ones which stand out a mile. I'm struggling to find something to wear and am wondering about:

http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&categoryId=209717&parent_category_rn=208523&productId=1757634&langId=-1

ARGH which doesn't seem to be coming up as a link... I don't know how to fix that! I'll try...

What do you think? Would it be ok for 'cocktail'? It's more than I'd like to spend, particularly with shipping to cope with but I've been in tears three times over my spots and general appearance today so I'm tempted to hang the expense if it'll work. My arms are OK, I have big boobs and due to said hormonal issues, a bit of a belly at the moment, but that can be sorted out with contral pants . I'm not a slender thing, which makes me wonder whether the dress wouldn't sit right?

Any opinions most gratefully received.

Bat Talk & Walk (currently looking for pics of bats - so so cute!), Ghost Stories, Halloween, Christmas Decorating Workshops and Christmas Evenings I have a bit of leeway with design etc but just tend to stick to the same style as previous years as it's such a faffy job that I run out of patience with anything fancy.

*hugs* for the skin problems

I think that dress is absolutely stunning! I was thinking something sheer would be good before I clicked on the link and that is just perfect.

Looks like it should drape nicely - maybe team it with some classy accessories to make sure it's just right for cocktail wear. I love blue and silver together but metallic accessories can be a tad tricky sometimes.
