    Well, probably not. But it's not often I get the chance to wear a long dress with a pouffy skirt so I'm not averse to paying a little for it. The dress I was going to buy was about £62.

    I'm thinking of attaching the tentacles to a bum bag so I have somewhere to store my money and phone :rotfl:

    I have a lemon drizzle in the oven. I have a feeling what comes out isn't going to be much like a cake as I accidentally put the lemon juice for the drizzle in the cake mix :rotfl:

    Love that. The appeal of a full length dress is often overlooked, and the colour is awesome.

    Went to the zoo today to meet some old friends.
    Escapette loved looking at the animals. It was nice to see her having fun, but I find zoos so sad.
    Got the health visitor coming tomorrow so need to have a good tidy round!

    Ono,

    I have to agree with you. I was only thinking this the other day. Why is it so many celebs and I use that word loosely. All half dress with tops down to there belly buttons and skirts up to there waists.

    You can look sexy in a full length gown. Without it being cut down to here and slit up to there. And be elegant at the same time without bits of your body popping out all over the place.

    Yours

    Having spend whole day wrestling with my computer and broadband in an attempt to get it backed up before I kill everything with windows 10 my head is exploding and I'm in full on grumpy Luddite mode.
    Technology. Pffft. If I vanish for a bit either my head has exploded or the desk top is now accessorised with a lump hammer.

    Loving that last dress code - ideal for swishing around in.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    I was taught either boobs or legs, not both. There's something about a long dress though that just feels glamorous and elegant. I rarely feel elegant zo I'm seizing the opportunity even if it's just to feel like an elegant octopus. :rotfl:

    Send some cake my way ono. I will share my baked ziti (well, baked penne really as I couldn't find ziti).

    Having a costume eek. Went to buy that lovely dress for my costume then realised even the largest size won't fit. !!!!!! I'm only a size 14-16! It's meant to be an Ursula costume and Ursula is a plus size woman, erm. Octupus. So either I lose 20cm from my bust or I find an alternative. Help!!
    KNow any local seamstresses? Swain;s mum is one and could probably sort something like hat out so maybe worth having a nosy rund to see if someone could alter it?

    I'm currently knackered. Was half an hour (unpaid!) late out of work. On quite a few hours this week and 30hrs next week. Its knackering me out doing more ours but more hours-more money (and theres loads of people off sick and on holiday so hours need covering). Thankfully i'm off tomorrow! Might have a lush bath as i found a rnadom lush bath bomb when cleaning my room the other day :)

    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.
