    I love the second one, I personally think below the knee is more elegant, and wear it with the same colour sandals as on the model :)

    they are both below the knee on me, being 5' 3":rotfl:

    Good afternoon,
    After trying at least 40 dresses on for my sons graduation, I have narrowed it down to
    http://www.mandco.com/floral-print-scuba-shift-dress-blue/100765301000008.html
    or
    http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10701_10001_54488+041428353_-1
    both look lovely on.
    What colour shoes to wear with these outfits?

    One is £99 and one £39, if that is a deciding factor.

    Length is very different.

    I do prefer the Debenhams one. Expensive taste:o

    Luckily price isn't a problem, they are both under the knee for me, only 5' 3"

    Lovely doggies Bubbs.

    I like the Debenhams dress better too, although both are lovely.

    A baby update for you -

    Brothers wife is still in hospital. She is now 34 weeks. They have really struggled to keep her blood pressure under control. On Thursday, they were talking about letting her home for the weekend and to go back in on Monday. Very early hours of Friday morning her BP went sufficiently high enough for them to take her to the delivery suite, but they took her back to her room an hour later.

    Yesterday they were searching for a NICU bed. There weren't any in Bristol so they were searching as far afield as Cardiff :eek:

    Today they have decided that they don't need to transfer her and everything will be done where she is. They are having one more go at getting her BP down tonight and tomorrow and if that doesn't work, she'll be induced on Monday morning.

    Prep wise, I've got a load of clothes for not a lot of money - my washing line right now will really give my neighbours something to gossip about :rotfl:

    I've also managed to score an entire Moses basket on eBay for £8 :D

    I am amazed at how resourceful I have been able to be so far. I haven't even spent £25 yet!

    Thank you all for your help and advice. I wouldn't have been able to do it without the help of the Elite :)

    Afternoon all. Hope everyone is well.

    Bubbs the house guests are gorgeous :)

    My workmate causing a few issues at work again so as much as I love my job I'm applying for something else. Been there 10 month & proved to myself I can do it. However I'm now looking to move into a totally different role, it's something that's caught my eye as I've been searching job adds. It's a step up with better money but I think I can do this too. All advise welcome again as you all helped me no end last time to get the job :) xx


    Fab news cjj I think you will be fine o the application this time but feel free to pm if you want anything read over

    This takes me back to when I was expecting my twins, just over 21 years ago. Finished work at 28 weeks then a few days later I was admitted to hospital for bed rest due to high blood pressure. At 34 weeks had to have an emergency section due to blood pressure going through the roof, the boys both had to spend a few weeks in SCBU, but were a very good weight, 5lb and 5lb 1oz.
    I am sure that they will be delighted with the gifts for baby, and very MSE of you:T
