    Thankyou Roxy, have finally made my mind up and ordered the brown. Now off to order a big fat petticoat from ebay to go under it :D

    I figure I can wear it to a couple of the events and can always sell it on again on ebay if I need to, that should recover pretty much all of the cost of it as they seem pretty popular dresses on there :)

    My ebay items have finished now, only two of them sold, one was a magazine freebie that went for £3.20 :T the other was the £10 sale item that went for £21 :T so thats £24 towards the dress, which cost me £38 including postage (thanks Roxy for the code :T), the petticoat will be about £17 from ebay, so about £30ish to find altogether :D

    Next it will be the shoes / wrap dilemma :rotfl: I'm guessing nude shoes should be ok but will check when it arrives, may need to find some darker ones.

    I really must step away from ebay, I've just bought a pair of shoes to go with the dress, they were a bargain and were £8 inc. postage, and they haven't been worn :T

    No more spending tonight!! :o:o

    Morning all, its a very wet one here and we're supposed to be going to a sporting open day at a local outdoor water centre :o Hmm, will call my friend and see if they're still going ...

    Other than that today I need to find the passport photos I had done of ds, I cannot think what I've done with them, haven't seen them for ages. I put them in my purse when we had them done and have probably put them somewhere 'safe' :cool: but I can't remember where :o

    We went to the open day and it was fab, ds had a go at rowing and sailing in the harbour and learnt to skim stones too :D:D Spends = £2 for activities, £5.30 for car park :eek: and £4 for 2 x hot chocolates to warm up. Lots of fun all round though :D

    I also found the passport photos so they can now be sorted out and sent off :T
