Must try harder!

@KeepOnKnitting fit and flare dresses are the bomb….so forgiving. I do tend to mostly live in jeans and a nice top (or a scruffy top), but on the odd occasion I get to go ‘out’ out then fit and flare dresses are worth their weight in gold. Thank you for sharing the admiration, I was going to say the bs admiration…but that didn’t work 😅

Extra stone of chocolate...😂 (she laughs... putting the Galaxy cookie crumble down) 😳

Boiler suit ? Rara Skirts? Pedal pushers ?  What about the Adam ant blouses ?  - omg it’s my youth 🤣🤣🤣🤣. It’s true what my mum said, it all comes back round

I still don't get it   I like the top half though, and if that was a top it would be nice.  I think as long as you've got a waist it would be ok, but for me I'd just look like a blimp

@dawnybabes my first album (tape) was Adam and the Ants. It had a track called S.E.X. And I used to fast forward it because it was (whispers) rude 🤣. I must have been about 10 and was mortified in case my parents heard it (who actually went with me to buy the tape, so surely they knew 🤣).
Ah, those were the days, when men were men (in true romantic flounces and make up), sigh 🥰
@jwil one year blimps will be in fashion and then we’ll show them 😬
Anyhow, good morning and happy Tuesday ☀️ It’s really frosty today. Dog decided 6.30 was an ideal time to go outside and then decided it was so lovely and frosty we should stay out. She defrosted her own patch of ground by the time she got up and wouldn’t come inside until her dad got home at five to seven. I got some steps in marching up and down like a tired lunatic while she enjoyed the Dawn chorus. 

Just work today and I am sitting at my desk, but determined not to look at an email until 8am. I have my kindle at the ready…and coffee…and a Bettys fondant fancy….not eating until 12 is not a thing this week 😅
I hope you all have a lovely day ☀️✨

You and me both. I will stick to my dungarees which are bad enough!

WW, I have looked the bs (😁) up and would advise against spending money that could go to debt or other treats pot on that. Even the model has to wear big boots to make it look like it fits on the legs, and apparently can't get it done up over her chest in a single one of the pictures. If models, whose literal job it is to be leggy and have little to no boobs, can't get this clothing to look good on legs and torso, then it is not a worthy purchase x

That poor model, she was just attempting to display her cleavage 😅 I did think it looked good (on her), but it’s not something I will take a punt on 😁
My savings have stalled terribly this year and I do need to get a grip. I don’t have debt, but sometimes wonder if that’s the problem. I don’t know how to relax spending without going too far. I did ponder that if I took out a big loan, stuck it in savings and then had a debt to hammer down, I would probably move quicker than just saving the money. I won’t do that, obviously, as my aim is to stay debt free, but I do know that would have focussed my mind! 

I have drawn up yet another budget for April, with a more relaxed savings amount…then if I have anything left I can throw it to the pb’s at the end of the month. This will stop the guilt of sending it and then pulling it back.
This morning there was a hoard of jackdaws on my new flat porch roof having a rugby match 😣 What a racket! I presume they released a fat ball from the bird house and took it up there to scrap over.
We had a few snow flurries yesterday and it’s icy cold today.
i hope you all have a good Wednesday ⭐️✨

I’m not a boiler suit fan although a friend of mine looks fab in them even though she’s only a few years younger than me. She is tall. I am not and only have a very short body. I remember  trying one on whilst out clothes shopping - cos we could - it was nearly touching my knees. Talk about passion killer 😂😂😂😂 Never ventured near them again 😂😂😂
