We've averaged 20 degs for the last 2 weeks (give or take a degree).  Sun's been shining, a few odd drops of rain but nothing to complain about.  It's got a bit breezy a couple of times but it's really more like spring than winter. Only needed something long sleeved in the evenings and that's because we sit outside

PS:

 

Lovely bracelet Soozy

Welcome home (your mother can now breathe easily) l'il Aimie

And congrats Master Ells

 

It's a necklace and I've e mailed and asked them to change Georgie to George - we don't often call her Georgie - she is really George (she hates it though).

I'm absolutely green with envy .................I really feel the need for a bit of sun in my skin TBH.

^^^^

 

Ells!!! How fabulous - well done to your boy - you must be very proud

I am Sooz  I am ashamed to say I really didn't think he would pass as he was very indifferent to it through the summer and avoided studying at all costs but he has shamed me into having a bit more faith in his abilities.  

Slimming World Update!

 

Lost 2POUNDS this week yaaaaaaaaaaaay - Mr Woo's birthday week too and we had two birthday cakes and a meal out yesterday

 

That little jog on the running machine must have done something.

 

I think 6 more pounds and I'm done! Maybe ...........maybe 4 will be enough.

 

I blame jet lag!

(Sorry Sooz, I knew it was a necklace so gawd knows what I was on about there!)

 

Well done on the weight loss too

My Les Mis (Russell Crowe) poster arrived today - being hung as I type 

Tories backed the gay marriage bill with a majority of 225 .... I must say, that surprised me ... but I'm glad .... for once, they have done the right thing.

I think more Tories voted against than for

Not really surprised at that.

Whilst watching Midsomer, an everyday tale of upper class, violent thug, countryside folk, I was upset to see an advert for the Ant and Dec's new programme. Normally the announcer warns us that, "the following programme contains scenes which viewers will find upsetting."

*passes Joe a stiff drink* purely for medicinal purposes of course

   

All right, YOU CRYOGENIC SPERM BANK!

 

....so when do I get the money?

Oh my 

 

My girlie is 30 on Valentines day - she's having a party and really can't decide what to wear, so much so she has just rung to tell me that she is off to Meadowhall on Saturday and has booked a personal shopper at Debenhams 

 

She is 5'1'' and size 6/8 are there any personal shoppers on here that can find something fun and flirty for her?

 

Should be interesting(expensive) - I think I bought the outfit for my 30th at the local 'InShops' on the high street.

 

I bought a nice dress myself for the party yesterday - can't find a pic though.

Soozy she could shop in the kids section at that size! Hope she finds something nice x

She sometimes does - the onsies I bought her at Christmas were kids size. She wants something a bit saucy though.

Dont know what her style is like Soozy but i looked on the debenhams site petite section and i didnt think any were that great tbh Next seem better

 

 

 

Debenhams wouldn't be my first choice if I had the pick of shops for dresses.  At a 6/8 she would probably look great in anything.  Try

 

Miss Selfridge

River Island

TopShop

Lipsy

Lipsy dresses are usually a bit saucy.

Ells i never thought of those places, you are so right! I never go near places like that cos i would never fit in any of their gorgeous clothes, they have some beautiful stuff in size 6/8!

Me either Jen  Maybe someday, eh?

She has a Lipsy dress on her 'short' list. I'll go see if I can find it.

 

That's nice Soozy.

 

Ells i doubt i'll ever be a size 6! lmao.

 

I've just started looking at size 6 stuff for my 10yr old when out shopping, thats the closest im gonna get i reckon

Jen those dresses are nice - she won't do lace though cos my dress is lace 

 

We went to a wedding just before Christmas and I had a dress on very similar to her - she went crackers as it was too far for her to go and get changed  FGS - she looks so much better in her stuff than me and ........it wasn't that similar.

Nah I just meant I don't fit in ANY of their dresses now 

Doctor: "Your wife's in hospital".   Man: "How is she?"   Doctor: "I'm afraid she's critical". Man: "Ah, you get used to that..."
