    Ooooh how exciting (& brave) :j

    I think you should wear something that you feel your absolute best in, something that you know looks good on you & will help boost your confidence.

    Best of luck with it & do please remember Lula's Mantra :

    "F*** Off, I'm FABULOUS" .

    Keep saying this to yourself before you go in :A

    ACE!!! Thank-You, I'm going to keep it casual with some dark jeans and a top. Will need to get a new top though as I want a nice one, try make some kinda effort.

    bought a long grey ruffly vest for £6.00 in Pilot clearance and just won a 70's purple dress for......wait for it......£1.20 (!) on ebay!! Would have been rude not to at that price :D

    Evening all -

    Just quickly checking in.. so nothing to actually declare clothes wise today. I returned £30.00 worth of stuff to Newlook as didnt fit proeprly, in place brought a lovely kath Kitson work bag i've fancied for a while, and I returned a item with lost receipt, the other £3 went onto paying rest of amount, so technically in credit by £2 ...

    So £47 spent.

    I have some other spending moans to do - but i dont think you girls really want to hear me banging on lol :)

    Well done for all the Freedom outfits

    Still thinking about what I could wear for a Freedom Monday - I have a Betty Jackson dress from fleabay I've worn once or twice only that I might try on and see if I can casualise it a bit more for work

  • I have a spend of £7 to report today, it broke down into the following...

    £2 for a 3 pack of socks with sheep on them (all my socks seem to be falling apart at the moment, there comes a point where I have to admit that it's time for them to go :( )

    £5 on a pair of dacshund pyjamas (I needed these, well not specifically dacshund pyjamas but another pair of winter pyjamas to replace the ones I had to throw away due to having a massive hole in the bum!)


    I always feel guilty throwing away clothes, I'm not creative enough to know what else to do with them / if they can be mended but I want that to change.
    (MINE r GOING IN THE BUMULAR AREA TOO! - but not ready to let them go yet....) Cut the legs off - fill em with a mixture of old clothes (cut up) and old pillow filling. sew up the legs - and make them into door draught excluders!!! - Two of them!!!!!! :D

    Not been on for a while ladies, so belated happy birthday to Debbiedeejay.

    Can't remember what I wore last week but I think I managed to wear a few things I haven't worn for a while.

    Today I'm wearing a grey skirt with a white shirt and a pink tank top, with black tights and shoes, and a necklace which matches nicely. The skirt is a size 12 one from Warehouse which has always been a bit 'snug' - it fit, yeah! The zip went up no probs and felt great, so either I've lost a wee bit of weight or OH has been at the zip with his WD40 :rotfl::rotfl:
