    What ARE you making? :):D I think you should post a photo of it! I wish I had sewing skills. If it's not too nosy.. what/where do you perform? Band? Theatre? Around a pole? ;) Sounds far more fun than being sat at a desk!!

    I'm a little bit more exotic than you would think. :D

    The costume stands around 7ft tall (I'm 6”2) Its Blue hologram sequin and white feathers with a 6ft train.

    There are actually two of the costume made identically for me and my partner, were both female impersonators, were doing a huge Summer Ball in Middlesbrough at the weekend. Were based in Manchester but we travel to wherever book us.

    I would give you the link to our web page but I might bet my legs slapped…

    Our Stage Name though is Trouble, and I'm also know singularly as Miss Whiplash my partner Is Bobbie Dazzler…..

    Just managed to do an unexpected expensable hotel booking via expedia via quidco, so earnt £4.28 in the process - hurrah!

    (edit: how apt that my 200th post, which gained a 2nd star and "stalwart" rating, was about earning some free money by doing something which took me approximately 1 minute)

    Today so far we have:

    * Rearranged the wardrobe space,was sick of jumpers taking up hanging rail space, so they're now foldered and placed on the shelf. Organised it more pratically, so folders with documents in etc are on the floor rather than a high shelf, seeing its something i need quiet often.

    *Bought the rug from the lounge into the bedroom as was a nightmare in the lounge with dog rolling on it all the time and bits bobbling etc. Now less hoovering in the lounge because of it.

    *Checked online banking, 28th = big direct debits, always make sure they're paid and nothing went wrong.

    *Checked ebay (see if people received what they'd purchased off me)

    *OH rang up about a job (he's been unemployed for just over 3mths now, but this one sounded promising, fingers crossed)

    *Had left overs for lunch (beauty of being on half term hols)

    Tomorrows plans:

    *Tidy/sort out drawers in sideboard, they're a nightmare and i hate opening them. Need a de clutter.

    *Gym reassessment (1st mths results await), plus OH signing in at job centre, so i booked my reassessment around same time, so its only 1 trip into town.
