  • Hey everyone.

    Im being good and resisting pancakes!! (well I have managed up to now anyway!!). Oh had them for dinner so I just had a sainsburys good for you carbonara, and Im stuffed now and theres no pancake mix so I think Ive managed to avoid them today!

    How is everyone today?

    Ok Mel, being honest, I really like the first one, and although the 2nd one is ok, I think in the flesh it could look a bit cheap- mainly because the material and sparkle together.

    There are some lovely (and reasonably priced dresses) on the house of fraser outlet store on ebay (there is a range called js collection and they have some lovely dresses). My sister once picked up a stunning brand new with tags (which priced the dress at £180) for £15 on ebay. Also there are some nice long dresses on Jane Norman and coast.

    Tracey- hope your oven is sorted soon, its not good that youve already been 6 days without it.
  • Right, I have ordered the first dress and found a navy one with a lace bolero too. Thanks for the House of Fraser outlet. I have never seen that before. There is some lovely dresses on there and i can see that becoming a fave!!

    I have had my pancakes with lemon juice and golden syrup. On a sugar rush now. Yummy though and not healthy in the slightest.

    We have finally had a reply from our Landlord (after 3 ignored calls and 1 text) and the house is going in the market. So i have 6 weeks to find a house, pack all this one up and clean it. Going to be a busy month of March for me. At least we have a certain answer and can move onwards and upwards now, although H2B is not a happy bunny at all.
  • Oh youll have to let us know how the navy dress is, Im sure it will look fab, especially with a little lace bolero.

    I came across the hof ebay store the other day, it was on there I was was very tempted by different bridesmaids dresses!

    I really dont think im going to have a good weigh in tomorrow. I havent been eating loads but I what I been eating hasnt been that healthy!

    Oh thats annoying about your house, but at least you have a date now. Lets just hope you can find somewhere very soon to move into.

    Okay can I be smug today? (Ha might as well while it lasts!!)
    B - usual (branflakes, weetabix and dried fruit)*
    L - Left over homemade meatballs and homemade tomato and red pepper sauce, with left over dry roasted veggies.
    S - Yoghurt
    T - Mackerel (yum) with dry roasted veggies.
    S - 1 hotel chocolat choc
    E - 90 mins gentle relaxation/yoga

    * I once tried to vary my breakfasts - but it took too much thinking about at that time of the morning!

    Good news - both my Glitzy Secret hair clips and my Debenhams jewellery has been despatched... and my big suitcase has arrived!! :T Cannot wait to see my goodies!! Fingers crossed I see them and know straight away they will go with the dress (ha!)
  • Well done on being good- you can definately be smug!:D. Oh your items should be here tomorrow then, although they may need to be signed for (I think my tiara did!!). Fingers crossed they will go.

    My food today was:
    breakfast: golden syrup porridge with semi skimmed milk
    Snack: yoghurt drink and banana
    Lunch: leek and potato convent garden soup and shapers salted popcorn and 6 baby plum tomatoes
    Dinner: sainsburys good for you carbonara and a piece of focaccia bread
    Snack: Orange club!

    I need to stop treating myself to popcorn and I need to get to the gym! I think tomorrows weigh in should give me a kick up the bottom!:D

    I am starting to have irrational worries that my invites have gotten stuck in the post. Other than one person text to say it has arrived (but didn't actually RSVP) I have no idea if people have received them :( Argh!! I want to ask them all - but I don't want to appear like I'm nagging them for an RSVP when I have given them till May 17th :)

    I have had a play with my new suitcase - LOVE it!! Ha although for those of you playing guess the weight game you have a slight advantage as you know what weight limit I had to play with!
  • I must have missed or forgotten the post about your weight allowance as I dont have a clue what it is!!

    Ok Im thinking of ordering some sweetie trees as a suprise to everyone for my sweetie table (as I think they will finish it off!!). Im thinking of going for a lollipop one and then Im not sure what else to go for- what sweets do you all think could look good for a sweetie tree??

    Chubba chup lolly pops. Marshmallows. American hard gums. Erm... will go google and see what I find that looks good :)

    Actually the flying sauces ones look really good! And the ferero rocher ones would be very easy to do yourself.
  • Well she has a pic of a drumstick lollipop and that looks really good so I was tempted by one of them. I also quite like ones with flying saucers! And malteasers! or tubes of love hearts! How will I decide??:rotfl:
