    He's hoping to sell them at the farmers market at the weekend, and the big cheese.

    I've made a few toppers for him this afternoon, just need for him to make them into cards.

    looking on ebay do i get a 16? which i am now? or a 14 and hope i can get into it by the time of the wedding?

    I like this one but the colour for the wedding is lilac silver and white, so i may clash with the bridesmaids, plus i think i'll have the belly issue

    I personally gave up slimming into things a good few years ago Claire, it just means you end up with a wardrobe of clothes you can't fit into! Better to get a dress that you fit now and are happy with now and have it taken in a bit if need be. This is what we did when my bridesmaid dress was made in Britain and I was on an exchange in Berlin!

    Afternoon all! Have kept myself busy today (doing lots of cleaning and exercise and cross stitch and finishing Silas Marner) so thought it was time I swung by here.

    I've finally got round to using the pedal exerciser I bought, it's a bit wobbly but works ok. Hopefully I can use it sensibly, a bit a day, and it'll help with the weight loss.

    Elfen, what did you think of Silas Marner?

    I liked it. I still think it sticks with the old man who isolates himself until a bad thing happens (or epiphany like Scrooge) and the upper class women are soft and docile which contrasts with the working women who are used to being tough - with Eppie stuck in the middle - it sticks to stereotypes but I still liked it.

    Will do Beanie.

    Elfen, I see what you mean, but maybe it's not so much sticking to stereotypes as describing the situation as it was then? And it's thanks to people like her that they are now stereotypes rather than norms? Or I could be talking rubbish!
