Your final choice is absolutely gorgeous:j. Now all you need are some lovely shoes and, dare I say it, a hat to be a real head-turner:).

Very well done on getting on with selecting your favourite and organising the return of the rejects:T:T:T

Thank you! I *do* think it's lovely - it's not as swirly as the previous wedding-guest dresses I've bought :rotfl: and the waist is quite tight, to be honest, but it felt really great to wear, really easy - co-ordinating jacket and shoes is next - I don't do wedding guest hats :D:D but I *do* do wedding guest fascinator type things - basically a few frills and a bit of diamante, not the thing that Princess Beatrice wore, I guarantee :rotfl: sort of like this (not the actual thing I'll buy, this is just a 30 second glance) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Flower-Feather-Bead-Corsage-Hair-Clips-Fascinator-Hairband-and-Pin-/151150727291?var=&hash=item233149107b:m:mvbI77jH2ic2oST7rZ!!!DA

Thank you Cheery! You can see how nice MFW is and plenty of people come on here at the *start* of their mortgages, I think :j

Thank you Sue! I'm pleased with the colours now that I see it, and there are little tailoring details that look good, and the length is just right - an awful lot of them seem to be short mini dresses, and back in the day, that was fine, but it doesn't quite work nowadays

I've done nothing since I took the other ones to MyHermes, except put the rubbish out, I was shattered back to life now tho :j

It's absolutely lovely KC, wonderful choice. Thank you as ever for your lovely comments in my diary you always cheer me up.

Best wishes ATB xx

Aw, thank you ATB! You work so hard, I hope you're stepping back a bit over Christmas. I'm stepping so far back I'm invisible I plan to have a few little favourite projects of different types to have fun with, and a nice bottle of Pimms is already sitting there (I drink very little these days - fancy it beforehand, but never comes to it when I look at the bottle )

Earlier on - I *did* ogle some sheds for tiny house building, this one seems good: http://www.gardenbuildingsdirect.co.uk/log-cabins/billyoh-winchester-log-cabin/23919
The big size is "expensive" - £3,250 and upwards, which is:
- 5m x 5m, with a bit of a porch.
- walls are 70mm thick
- double glazed
- floorboards for high intensity use
- heavy duty roofing
- shingles on the roof (I'd want to investigate the new roof tiles I saw that are themselves UV panels, no idea how much they'd cost!)

That's about £4,500. Plus internal gubbins. You know what, because I'll never live in one of these permanently now, I'd rather buy a motorhome like this http://motorhomes.autotrader.co.uk/used-motorhomes/fiat/ducato/2004-fiat-ducato-campervan-mondial-symbol-diesel-darlington-mfpa-2c929a7b504bf3f20150b104437617bd/berth/2/motorhomeprice/min/13999 and park it on a small piece of ground I'd bought, while waiting for the right apartment to come on sale in the right town. Sell the van eventually, keep the field I'd bought to grow fruit trees :j:money:

I can dream, hey!

:rotfl: That's why I wrote ''dare I say it, a hat'', KC.

I don't even know you but from what I read on here I feel you aren't a hat person. It's just that some sort of headwear seems de rigueur at weddings and I couldn't spell fascinator;)

CBC, you know me, you really do, I love it! I wore a posh flower/fascinator for the wedding that was in London a few years ago, and I liked that. Otherwise I have an African bush hat, and a straw sun hat, neither of which are going to do the job

Blimey, even for me, Christmas prep is overtaking - apart from the cat blog and ringing my partner, today is all about Christmas preps. What its like for people with families, I can hardly imagine. Stalwarts, absolute stalwarts :A:A:A

:rotfl:

I have one of those Australian hats like the ones they wear on I'm A celebrity Get Me Out Of Here. I can never find a suitable occasion to wear it though:rotfl:
