    what would you call something that has been bought to be personalised - say I bought a dress and added a ribbon to it and sold it it's not handmade but what? Thanks in advance to those who know. :)

    Evening. My outfit isn't even worth mentioning today as I'm just in joggy bottoms (been 'deep cleaning' the house)

    Trying to scour eBay, I need a posh frock for my Christmas night out. Everythings strapless though and I don't like my shoulders :(.

    Hope everyones had a good day!! I'm off to the gym in a bit - fun, not!

    Hi,

    Sorry for being a bit AWOL. Had a work presentation today - was in the office at 7am finishing it off, seemed to go well.

    Wore a cream blouse and black trousers (v corporate!).

    Street lighting has gone down here and it's strangely dark outside. Not sure I like it...

    xx

    :hello:Everyone and thanks for the welcome. My outfit today. Primark brown Indian style cotton top with sparkly beading round the yoke I'd completely forgotten all about it and was so pleased to fit into a size 12-14 now I've lost weight! Dark blue peacock jeans tucked into Hush Puppy Huntley Boots http://www.hushpuppies.com/UK/en-GB/Product.mvc.aspx/W-BTS/23141W/0/Womens/Categories/Boots/Womens/Huntley These are so lovely and comfy! Last years M and S Italian wool mix coat, very dark green with little green and white squares (that probably sound awful but it's hard to describe!) Now I have on a chunky look greyey brown cardie from Primark which is 100 per cent acrylic, which suits me just fine as the pesky moths have devoured all my woollen ones this year!!
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Oh I seem to have developed an irrational fear of moths over the past few months, ruby! Tgankfully it now seems too cold for them
    to come in thru the window!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hello girls. Things have been conspiring against me getting dressed, including our ''new'' cat peeing on my clothes twice....once with me wearing them. :(. Yesterday I managed jeans, grey woollen dress (Monsoon sale, £5) ballet flats and a vest, and thankfully despite the rain it was quite warm. So, soberly but decently dressed I decided to take my first afternoon off alone and go into one of my local towns for the first time. Luckily for me they have a monsoon, unluckily it is the most poorly stocked one I've ever been in. :( I get so much from monsoon sale rails that I got a little piqued that its no good. There are a few shops I've never heard of, a few I have but don't normally look in and a couple of independants for older people with lots of money! The charity shops were cheaper than wear I used to live, but were very uninspiring.

    I've got another couple of local towns to try before starting to look for likely patches further away.

    we have two of them too. My cats are pretty fantastically clean, but this is a feral cat that we've ''inherited'' and she has some health issues so we're trying to resolve them.
