    I don't like the styling or model in this picture though, it looked nothing like that on me! Still not sure about the shrug but it's easily removed.

    I am so rubbish at keeping secrets :D

    Also, i found that I had to go a size up (14) from normal clothes, has anyone else had this?

    Ooh pretty.

    And yes, that's perfectly normal. I'm a 12 but my dress is 14.

    I thought i'd just been kidding myself that I was a size 12 for all this time lol. I love the dress but it honestly doesn't even resemble that picture. I'm exccccitedddd about wearing it!!

    I bet the dress looks great on.

    I went and collected a dress from an eBay buyer yesterday, I love it! Can just about fit it on, but can't do it up- but I have 15 months to loose around 1 dress size, so should be perfectly doable! I am still feeling like **** (put any 4 letter word there!), think I have blocked sinuses with my cold. But not eating too badly as I have a sore throat! Yesterday did have ice cream tho! I just had soup for lunch.

    Well eating things like chocolate and crisps hurts my throat at the mo- but ice cream is looking really tempting! I have this week off work as well so really annoyed as had some nice stuff planned!

    Hope everyone is eating well!

    ah mayfair the dress is gorgeous and i am sure you will look amazing!!!:0) and yep i had a 14 too. at first i wanted to cry but then i thought oh well lets just accept it! lol

    ahh jo, when i have a sore throat, icecream just helps. it feels so smooth and cold, and it numbs the throat :0) have it. you are ill so take it easy and eat whatever you fancy. get sell soon Jo. :-)

    did my first run in my new shoes and it was hard. I went to regents park as i work near there, and i did what you advised codemonkey and stopped and started, and managed to half an hour of that. i also lay down on the grass and did some abs and right now i could eat the world. yesterday OH cooked come battered fish in the oven with some sweet potatoes so i am having that now. yum.
