    Hello lovely Sam,
    I'm really pleased to hear that you've treated yourself. I really hope it's as beautiful in the flesh as it looked online!

    Sorry to hear that work is really stressful, and that they booked you into a place with no bath! They need to explain themselves on that one!

    I hope you're busy having a great weekend and feeding Plus One lots of ice cream!

  • Definitely boooo to no bath in hotel... I completely sympathise... am considering making sure I have hotel stay once a month until I get a house with a bath as it would be cheaper than renting somewhere else in the meantime :rotfl:

    Hope your sweater is fab :T

  • Morning ...its early Sunday and I have been up a while stressing about this and that ...and probably mainly work :(


    Time for another list today ..:j


    I have a work event and my fav vintage dress has a four inch wide side gap where the zip won't do up ...that is unless I have my entire rib cage taken out ...this is not going to fit in time anytime soon!:D


    What the hell have I been eating? :mad: I have gone from a 6 to a 10 and I think I will put that down to "being comfortable" with plus one.:p


    Need to try on things in wardrobe and just sell what doesn't fit ...firstly because I just can't be bothered to loose that much weight and secondly to get some more £££ 's :):D:p


    I might look for new dress on fleabay? there are a couple of good ones for £15 ish so they will have to do....BUT .... I do have one dress that would suffice if I'm not that bothered about feeling like the ugliest person there ..lol but maybe I could buy red heels and a skinny red belt to give this dress some OOOMPH?:cool:


    Other things on to do list.......

    Buy loads of sugar as I never seem to have any lately!;)
    Need to clean ...
    Need to do a lot of paperwork for work ...
    Need to get fleabay parcel ready ..


    Need to put some goodness back into my hair as it's just bloomin awful and feels overdyed at the moment ...


    I'm a real stress head lately so need to have a word with myself ..


    Already on third cup of coffee today...so will use that wired energy to catch up on some diaries :) ...see how I know how to prioritise ...:rotfl:
    :T
    Happy weekend all ..hope it has been an enjoyable one

    I think the zip gremlins that hang out in my wardrobe have visited you too. They think it's funny to alter dresses when you're not looking, either so there's a gap or somehow the zip won't go over the seam when it did perfectly happily before.

    There will be something in the Forgotten Shop - and sometimes when you go out thinking 'pffft it'll have to do' you actually have an amazing time (and chances are it looks fab and you're just being fussy anyway :p)

    You are sounding a bit hassled petal. ((Hugs)), deep breaths, book a hotel with a bath.

    Red heels and a skinny red belt would give any outfit a real boost of OOMPH! Well done on finding the eBay dress.

    Isn't it great to have a budget for Christmas in September. Just need to work on not getting over excited and handing those gifts out. Maybe you should quickly wrap and hide them now? :D

    I agree, you're sounding hassled honey. I hope it's temporary and will pass soon, but also sending a big hug (for over 20 seconds as they're the ones that connect to our inner peace) to you to help with your anxiety levels.
