i have one of her tops..and when i was wearing it to young guys thought it hilarious to ask me for a bacon sarnie!

But I like it so I wear it, and so should you!

It looks too summery to me to work for a Christmas do anyway. It's fucking freezing out there, you know.

Haha - this happened to me once when I'd bought a lovely new top from River Island - but then spotted Janice Battersby wearing it on Corrie!! Never wore it again Smile

I would just weep, it's not like me to wear anything that bright/colourful so I comment would throw me.
I just like it so much [weak emoticon]

I so need to find the thread on here where other people liked the dress ... I didn't dream it!
I am not alone in liking the dress (clearly as Jane Beale does too)

Sorry Bibi.

Shit, I hope I didn't recommend it on the original thread...

I don't know Jane Beale, but is she famous for her splendid sense of style?

I read she used to work in the circus truly I did ....she had knives thrown at her (by a knife thrower not a chav)

It's awful..who recommended it to you..were they joking?

I think if you like it, you should wear it - if anyone comments then say 'No actually, it's mine - I lent it to her!'

I really like it! I watch Eastenders and I didn't notice that Jane was wearing this. I think it would look really nice with black tights and a cardi.

I bought a skirt in the M & S sale last summer. I really liked it, until Smithy's Mum turned up in it (and matching jacket) in Gavin and Stacey last Christmas. So I feel for you!

But actually I do hate how the patterns on the dress don't line up; so I don't like the dress, sorry!

Okay I get it, the dress is awful. Sad

I hate that I had the same curtains as someone in SAlly Webster once.
I had to change them.

She had a top of mine once out of Next, those t-shirty things that looks like you have a camisole underneath it.

The house that Max had, that Phil was living in most recently has my landing roller blind from John Lewis.
