    Wow!

    Plus, if you wanted to go for a '50s look, you could wear it with tulle petticoats!

    The other dress is this one but in the blue colour.

    The love to shop vouchers came from my credit card as I get points and thought the vouchers would be best as they can be used in a lot of places.

    I also normally wear a little cardy as I hate showing off bra straps and the tops of my arms.

    They are both 100% cotton.

    I have a big tum and bum so can't have anything to tight not a pretty look.

    I know we should not judge but I did see a woman a lot, lot bigger than me and she was in one of those tight jersey dresses. And I am no light weight myself and it was not doing her any favors at all.

    But she must have been happy and confident to wear it. I know that I could not have done. I would not have felt comfortable.

    I worry that people stare at me and think what a big fat cow who is she kidding!!!!

    I know men like all different sizes. And that is the one thing about my ex he liked me the size I am.

    Yours

    Are you able to watch the Clangers, WaS? I do hope so! I've been watching them all! They make me smile, they're so sweet and gentle, and it always ends happily and with a little gentle moral tale. Makes me go all marshmallowy inside!:)

    I just love them to pieces! :)

    And who says you can't understand them? Of course you can! Clangerish has the same intonation as English, so it's easy! :D



    Ah, WaSp is just a big softy!
    My friend and i were discussing The Clangers, she was telling me hw since little on was born she's been watching a lot of kids tv! But she says the best one to watch is The Clangers! We came up with the theory that they secretly put it on at tea time to give adults and (frazzled!) parents alike something good to watch! :D

    WaS, found a few mouses (mice?) you might like!:

    And I am now yawning my head off :rotfl:

    Morning all!

    Back to normal - never been so glad to see a storm as I was last night, I can only deal with so much heat!

    Calley those dresses are lovely! I really really like the first one :)

    I'm starting to wear more dresses now as my counsellor said I should experiment with clothes a little, so OH bought me this for my birthday:

    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_054010516545_-1

    It's so flattering, I can highly recommend Manteray things for curvy girls!

    Yes, that's nice HBS!
    I can't wear kneelength dresses, as my legs are so awful, but I do like it!


    Am off to IKEA this morning. It's quite a way away, and I haven't been for several years, so it will be interesting. Going with a friend and making a day_trip out of it!
    I used to be a terrible IKEA addict, and still have loads of things, furniture, curtains, stuff, that is still in use.

    I like their Daim cake! Hope they still do it!


    See you later!
