Bellabella, try to think how you would feel, not what anyone else would think in the outfits you have, Also ask your daughter what she thinks as well, after all it is her day, she might be quite hqppy for you to wear one of the outfits you already have.
Fingers crossed for Sparkle TA.
Don't beat yourself up for having the odd lazy day Nelski, sometimes it's what's needed.
I had a nice time in MK yesterday, although I didn't get everything I wanted because Steve had taken the M&S discount card and I refuse to pay full price for the new bedding I wanted. I ordered it online last night instead. That's about all the boringness I can stand atm, sorry, I'll go now.

Good morning all
A trip to town today. I bought a new dressing gown last week. Put it on at home to do a twirl and the belt is missing! Back we go.
Bella bella. I feel your pain. Our son was married last August and it took me all year to find a dress. DH said I had too many criteria, but I wanted to get it just right. I'm the end, I found a dress I liked enough and some shoes I loved so I was happy. A word of warning about having a dress made. Be sure you like the style before you start, because you can't try it on until it's finished, and then it's too late!
Nelski - your trip to the bin is a huge achievement. Well done you.
Happy Friday everyone - tidy or otherwise13 -

Dry here for once with a bit of a breeze I have a towel load in the wm and another load to go in after, I shall hang the towels on the line for a while to try and get them dry.
I sat on the sofa yesterday afternoon and watched another episode of 'unbelievable' on netflix, them promptly fell asleep for a couple of hours and then slept all night so feel refreshed today but I promise no more decoratingToday I am going to have a quick Friday tidy then take pup to the park then Im off to get my nails done, I cant wear nail polish at work so Im making the most of being off and having them done, my nail lady is lovely too and we always have a good chat and a laugh.
Dinner tonight will be pork chops chips peas and roasted tomatoes, will peel the spuds and chop the chips this morning.

Morning, grey and cold here this morning but thankfully not wet, the rivers have filled the flood plains all round and are woefully close to the main roads and have been across quite a few of the minor ones. DD1 coming today with the baby granddaughter on the bus to an NCT meet in the village and stopping here to have lunch with us first so I'll get some 'Oma' time. Lovely day yesterday with the 3 male grandpickles and baby is really turning into a little person, he's taken to pureed foods like a trooper and is starting to pad out nicely, he was a long thin baby and looks much healthier now he's filled out a little, he's a dear as are the two older boys and such fun to have around.
I'm working this afternoon and DD will get a lift back with HWK after the NCT meet up and then nothing planned for later so hopefully a nice ordinary evening and an early night.
Have a good day everyone xxx.

Another grey morning, although it is lighter than yesterday.
Visit to the dentist today for OH to get his plate tried out, as its a new one he will have a couple more visits until its ready......so more nursery food!!
I need to get my head together and iron the duvet cover, I also need to sort out some stuff in the sewing room and finish putting the basket together.
Taking the antib's at night seem to be working, just time will tell, they will be changed after 3 months, so I do not develop a resistance to them. New Osteo medication also seems to be ok, so win win in both cases.
Supper fish and chips.12 -
Morning everyone
The wind is blowing wildly again here again - I'm sick of it now - doesn't help living on top of a hill!
Bella I had the same problem when my daughter graduated as I'm really not a dressy up sort of person - in the end I found a lovely top and trousers from Dorothy Perkins. I felt comfortable which was the main thing
I have to take one of the cats for his booster this morning. He's asleep under a bed at the minute with the door shut....he's usually quite difficult to get into the cat box so I could end up with scratches!
I'm going out for lunch with a friend later, we haven't met up since before Christmas so we'll have a lovely long natter.
I'm feeling a lot better now but still getting tired, just trying not to do too much
Have a good day everyone
