    Sounds lovely. What are you worrying about?!

    Wearing sequins before six...in Town. Might pop in to see DH at work. But think more comfortable to wear uggs so I can keep ankle strapped, which means trousers......


    Plus, will have to get undressed and think jeans and a top easier than a dress and associated lingerie? I don't much like getting dressed and undressed behind a curtain. It takes me half the time they expect to get undressed, but longer to get dressed again, so I end up a little flustered.

    Dress or jeans? Dress or jeans?

    Sequinned tops before six pm with jeans and knitwear??

    I really have to grapple with some difficult issues in life.

    I wore a sequinned skirt to work yesterday. With boots and a jumper with flowers on.

    Can I come ?

    I had bleached the garden room ( where dogs sleep) by seven but the waft of sick dog and bleach is vile, not least because its the warmest part of the house so the hot air rises and travels........with a
    L the odour.

    I might ignore the fact its the warm heart of the house and throw open all the doors and windows.

    I saw a beautiful sequinned skirt in m and s the other day. I had no prospect of wearing it but it looked so nice, and was certainly a day wear item. :)

    I've decided it's a foot wear issue. Its because I'm trying to wear uggs I think. I thought it MIT work with smart camel trousers in soft wool but that looks odd with the boots.

    The whole top is sequins. Like chain mail or reptile skin. But only a strip down the middle would be on show......and no skin at all. Possibly even with ugg style boots.

    Sounds great. Perfect with a chunky knit and uggs.

    None of my clothes fit. I've been wearing leggings for weeks as my rear end has grown. I'm desperate to get out to some shops and nice lunch.

    If it helps with your decision making, AIUI the smell of unwell dog poo is actually molecules of dog poo going up your nose.

    I'm really restless waiting to find out what's going on with New Job. Hoping to find out about second interview tomorrow.

    I can't decide whether I am being unreasonable or measured.

    Parent is considering another procedure which would involve someone staying with her at least overnight and she would prefer for longer.

    This has happened twice before and each time I have ridden to the rescue. As it happens OH was abroad both times. Last time there was a scene when I left. I have now said that I can't do it again for a good few weeks. Sibling needs to pull her weight IMHO. Problem is sibling has kids in school, so she is reluctant, but her husband works from home 2 days a week so could, with a bit of effort, look after the kids. Add to this she is planning on emigrating in a few months, so will do nothing from that point and she lives nearer than me. Sibling feels I can drop everything because I don't have childcare issues and work for myself.
