Stitchy, that is stunning. Im so impressed you can make them by hand. I'm terrible about investing in underwear (mostly as I'm barely a B up top and no one ever looks at my knickers!) but 2 inches, my goodness that may need some investigation!

Orangefairy you sound so loved-up! Bless.

Thanks, Pernie. I hope you find the dress of your dreams soon! Have you looked into having it made for you? A friend of mine just did that for her wedding, she looked stunning and she says it was cheaper than off the rack.

I have briefly looked into it...the one lady I contacted said wedding dresses START from £900! I was so shocked...she doesn't even know what I want other then a bit of colour on it! I do need to look into that more though, thank you for the reminder x

Morning Stitchy - my fellow up-with-the-larks DFWer - morning everyone else who follows :hello: hope you are all full of the joys of spring



This weekend I intend/hope to or have:

• emailed ebuy seller to say the item wasn't as she described it (sold as a french connection dress but when it arrived it is a top!) and asked her to refund before I raise a dispute with paypal... she has replied I am posting back tomorrow
• got 2 bananas out of the freezer so I can make a cake while the oven is on making bagettes
• [STRIKE]
• drop the student off at 9am :dance: although he is lovely its lovelier to get our home back!
• [/STRIKE]
• strip his bed & HC bedding at 30 & line dry
• all food from stores
• try for a NSD day?
• go collect bunk beds won yesterday & assemble
• go to body pump & for a run not going to happen now
• go for a nice long walk with oh ditto
• do some portuguese practice (I struggle so much with languages! )
• plant some seeds - thanks stitchy!

ok a couple of months ago someone offered me the book Room - is that offer still available? If it is let me know the cost of postage & I will deposit it in your paypal account. Just trying the MSE way before I go ahead and buy it on Amazon! went ahead & purchased along with a MR SC....
ok that's all I can think of right now. Enjoy the next 2 days x

Perni have you thought about getting one off ebay and then getting it altered? Just a thought. Remember you will look stunning no matter what x

oh no I have come down with something - tonsilitis I think so my best laid plans are scuppered I think lots of fluids and resting for me today....

I have decided I now have a 1 in 1 out policy to stop me hoarding carp! So at the swap shop I exchanged 4 tops, 1 jacket & a pair of cut downs I was taking to the CS anyway for 1 white shirt, 1 summer top & a winter cardie :cool: I then went through my jewelry box (aka box of carp) and have a bag to deliver to the CS only things left in that box or on that shelf are things I willl actually wear! :T

in my poorlydom I may list a thing or two on ebay...

Morning everyone. Are you suffering from an hour's less sleep, or did you take the same option as me of having an hour less in the day?

Yesterday wasn't a particulalrly MSE day. I thought that DW deserved a treat after looking after the kids on her own while I've been working away so I offered her the meal of her choice. Was hoping for something that I could cook at home, but in the end we decided to get McDonalds in for the kids, and we'd go out for a meal. We only went to the local two for one so it wasn't too bad. Came to just under £20 for the two of us including drinks.

Nothing really planned for today. The usual checking online banking, laundry, cooking Sunday dinner etc.

Aw Karb, what a gent! Have you got a brother or ten for the rest of us? :rotfl:

Hi all

Late night last night or rather early morning..neighbours cooked an amazing dinner..absolutely fab. Met new folks from down the street as well as the usual lovely stalwarts. Can't beat living in a nice friendly street and we have lucked out here..anyway sluggish today!

Today have popped in chicken to SC..poaching using a sA&nsbur£s recipe from last months magazine. Much healthier and for some inexplicable ( but good for MSE) way we seem to have more left over for sandwiches and another meal when I do this rather than roasting it and of cour much cheaper than heating up the oven. Lovely organic chicken from the lovely Riverf&rd so more expensive but it will taste beautiful am sure.

So dinner sorted. Off down the allotment later. Just picked up some work shoes on eb7y so that's good to have in the store as they were brand new but about 1/4 of usual price. Bargain!


Going to have a slow day today. Stay close to home and not spend anything after I have sorted out paypal for the shoes.

Have a good Sunday everyone
