    white and navy stripey top (H&M)
    purple tights (Dunnes)

    Morning all

    Glad to hear the tooths getting better Douglas, DS2 has to have one out shortly, just waiting for appointment but it could take a few weeks. I did say / make the mistake of saying that because he has it taken out the toothfairy may bring a bit extra, I was thinking £2 instead of the usual £1 (inflation eh!!! it was 10p when I was little) DS2 was thinking more along the lines of £10:o Speaking of which DS1 also lost a tooth yesterday at school, so theres another £1. However we did get a nice surprise yesterday £25 win from the premium bonds, first win in 10 years:p but hopfully the start of a winning streak - I always look on the positive side, am trying not to think that my car is going in for a service this morning at 10, only a minor service but I know it needs some attention to the handbrake and its due its MOT so whatever needs doing will have to be done - fingers crossed its not too bad:)
    So the plan for today is that DS1, DS2 and I will be collected from the Garage by my Mam, we are going into town for a spot of breakfast and a peruse of the shops - mainly CS and no doubt DS's will find things that they need, I also need to get mine and DS1's passport photo taken, I'm taking the chance of sending mine off without getting it countersigned as it says you can do this if you haven't changed much which I don't thinnk I have apart from a few wrinkles, last passport photo sees me wearing a primarni fleece, I was sat in the booth in Safeway holding a wriggling almost 18month old at me feet - feels like it was yesterday where have the last 10 years gone???????
    Anyway must stop waffling - hope you all have a fab day:j

    Happy Valentine's Day all :)

    Sorry I wasn't on all weekend, but then I don't know if I was wearing anything particularly trendy/fashionable anyway!

    Outfit today is
    jeans
    purple floaty top (present from h2b)
    sneakers
    blue cardigan.

    I seem to have gotten in a rut of having no clothes that I actually like, and end up recycling the same 3 or 4 tops. Really need to do something about it, but I have no money either, grrrr

    Morning all, Happy Valentines Day!

    Outfit;
    Pinky/red heart printed blouse: Next clearance
    A-line denim skirt: Zara sale
    Black heart print tights: New Look
    Black wedge heel boots: New Look

    Going in to town to meet a friend later so will add a jacket of some kind,
    it's such a beautiful day out!
  • Morning everyone, and happy Valentine's Day!

    Outfit:
    Dark blue scoop neck long sleeve top (Dorothy Perkins, although annoyingly the shape is going a bit in it after about three washes)
    Black trousers (Gap)
    Black flat ballet pumps (Dorothy Perkins)
    Usual jewellery

    So not spectacularly exciting I'm afraid!

    Not a bad day up here, looking forward to venturing out for a walk at lunchtime though as I have some parcels to post and will nip to Boots to pick up lunch and a few bits as well.

    White vest top - Florence & Fred
    Grey rose patterned cardi - New Look
    Cream and black patent quilted pumps - New Look
    Moonstone drop earrings - present

    Douglas, you must start a blog! I love your photos :)
