    Isn't it!!

    I'm tempted to copy Kaz and get myself one, looks perfect for a hot summers afternoon :D It's so pretty without being overly pretty to the point where you end up looking dressy rather than just nice IYKWIM? :D I don't know how to word it :rotfl: Its lovely any way :p

    Pudsey- my cousin had eczema and was prescribed aveeno which really helped. In fact, I use it now (even though I don't have eczema) because it makes my arms sooo smooth (I have those annoying bumpy bits...):)

    So sorry to hear about your mum rachel, hope it's not too advanced:(

    I prefer toy story (although I think the 3rd one isn't as good). I cried all the way through up, didn't like the story much. Wanted him to keep the house- I end up with so much clutter because I'm so sentimental:o I still love Disney (even though my friend keeps saying walt disney was right wing therefore she hates Disney:eek:):rotfl:

    Kaz- gorgeous dress and perfect weather :cool:

    Just having a quick catch up on my phone in bed. It feels like someone has put a curse on us or something this month. Rosemary's cat, Rachel's mum and 3 people with awful relationship issues. Glad that people are getting lots of support from our little community but hoping for happier times for everyone in May.

    I've not bought anything lately and hoping to keep that up.

    Ah, see, I allowed myself to buy it because I don't spend lots on clothes. I bought undies earlier this year which cost £70ish but that'll last me until next year. Before that, the last thing I bought was £16 jeans in October. Then about £30 last summer on tops and undies.
    I have a very minimalist wardrobe and I love how easy it makes it to get ready each and every day :) LOL, I own 3 pairs of jeans and one of those is for decorating in. And 8 dresses. Not much else. I do need to get some cropped jeans/ trousers/ long shorts for the summer though but don't know where from. Any ideas chaps?

    Have you all rushed out and bought the dress (which is FAB BTW :D) - there's a 3 week wait for it online now :rotfl:

    All bathed out now and have UU'd my BS Wild Cherry Body Scrub as expected: WIBA? oh yeah! wish I'd bought the big tub now :( even if it does look like jam :rotfl: and also UU'd my BS Comforting Aloe Bath Oil: WIBA? Meh? No different to any baby oil really and I can get that much cheaper :p Did have a nice smell in the bottle but once in the bath you couldn't tell

    Decided to use the oil instead of the Bath Bomb as I didn't wash my hair - of course now it needs washing as I got oily water on it :rotfl:

    I'm the same - I have 3 pairs of jeans - two blue one white, a bunch of tops and ..... well thats it :D I have two dresses which never get worn and I'm determined to wear them this summer but probably wont *rollseyes*. Oh! and a couple of jumpers :p

    I saw some really nice cropped trews in M&S the other week when I was shopping with my Mum - if you're an M&S type :D

    I have a pair of jeans which are roll-up/roll-down for the summer - I can't wear proper cropped trousers as I'm so short they always reach my ankles :rotfl::rotfl:

    Wow, I think I could do with taking a leaf out of your book :rotfl: I currently have my wardrobe full to bursting, 8 drawers over flowing plus 8 bin liners of stuff to put away somewhere... :rotfl: :o I think i've got about 15 pairs of jeans but live in the same 2 pairs, although 1 pair are far too big for me now, so big that they fall down if I undo my belt but I can't bring myself to chuck them because they're my comfy jeans, 8 pairs of leggings, 6 pairs of linen trousers, 743649428363 vest tops (accurate figure, I counted :cool: :rotfl: ) and god knows what else. I really need to cut down. After i've got that dress... :D :rotfl:

    I got my cropped jeans for this summer from peacocks and some linen trousers from primark :rotfl: But that's because i'm shrinking at the moment so don't want to spend too much on clothes when I might be a size smaller mid-summer or certainly by next summer.
