Amercombie and Fitch - have some good deals on coats for ladies... there is a nice one for £24....

Yes I saw this somewhere this morning, good price but probably more style than function

Even in the hose these days I have scarfs, fleeces and woolly hats on - anyone that comes to the door things I am on my way out

Is that because the house is cold, or because you are cold? If it is you, and there is no known reason, you should pop to the doctors. :o:o:o

Both - we are both suffering from old age and decrepitude - the house and myself :rotfl:

Still raining this morning.

Suggestions please. I am having a jacket crisis this morning - both my Craghopper and my everyday winter weight wet weather jacket feel too tight - I wear far too many layers underneath and I feel the cold too much now.

So I had a look on Mountain warehouse online for a padded down jacket or a ski jacket of some sort with a hood in a bright jazzy colour. There are a few own brand cheap versions which I am dubious about, think they would be too lightweight.
And nothing in a size 16 or 18

Any suggestions - The one on the Aldi website only goes up to a size 14, possibly too late in the year now.
I also looked at Amazon Mountain warehouse but they don't have much but mainly summer weight rain macs

I am not keen to go up to Chester or Stoke, too much choice and I get brain freeze ...

I have had a Regatta Hydrafort 3 in 1 for years now, fuschia pink. Love it, it's so warm & cosy x

Any of you ebayers use shpock to sell you items.
Was please the other day. Had put in a search alert for a fish price swing and one came up as £10 and not too far from me. Most had been about £20 ++ . So asked questions and then said would like to buy it. After I had confirmed I would buy, the seller messaged me saying she had forgot the slow speed on the swing doesnt work so well, and said I can pull out of the sale or have it for free. So of course I had it for free. got it home and nothing wrong with it :T

No news on DS baby yet after being induced Sat and Sun. Original plan was for a c section this Thursday and then it was changed to today Monday but admitted her Sat for observation, where they said they will try induction first. So C section planned for this afternoon sometime unless more urgent cases come in :eek:

Well done! I've not used shpock, I did download it a while ago and had a look, but didn't list or buy anything. I'd rather not arrange something then them not turn up (like freecycle sometimes).

Good Afternoon
Does anyone know the best programme, or method of producing passport size photo's to download.
I am filling in application for new BB and need up-to-date picture.
Have tried a few programmes I googled and sent one in, but it's a set of 4 and don't know if it will be accepted.
Just taken me 3 hours to work out how to download pictures from phone and try to produce one the right size.

I just used the same instructions for a passport, plain background etc, and took a photo with the iPad attached it to the application and was accepted, must admit it's an awful picture as was feeling bad at the time :rotfl:

I bought this about a month ago, it is so warm, I only wear a tshirt underneath it (and trousers of course), dont need to layer up at all.

My picture is terrible, can't believe how bad I look. Don't you have to sent a passport size picture?
