lala we were shopping for wedding outfits too... I have just bought three dresses and have ordered another online (unlikely to keep any of them though!). I need opinions so will attach some pics later or tomorrow. Im dreading it too (looking forward to it in theory but it has the potential to go so very wrong!) It involves three nights away in a country where vodka features heavily (I'm shit with spirits), apparently there's a shot for every toast, and the party goes on for two days... oh and as well as friends there's going to be colleagues there as well....so much potential for carnage and I'm not sure if good intentions will cut it Blush Sad

Had a really nice afternoon/ evening though and a real, not faked, laugh with my friend. Tipsy from happy hour but it all feels very 'normal' and nice. But the harsh lights of shop changing rooms have unsettled me...I actually look quite ill, my skin is shit, I've lost weight but also definition and it's not a good look. Need to get back to the gym...

soberisthenewblack168 · 25/06/2016 22:08

Post the pics elba and the MN jury will help you.
At least fully clothed you can hide thin but no definition but hiding rolls of fat and middle age spread is not so easy not that I know anything about that
I look at pics of myself 20 or 30 years ago and think why the feck did I think I looked fat / unattractive ....whatever.
I would kill to look like that now rather than the Mrs Doyle look I have going on at the minute.
Chin up and tits out Elba I am sure you will look gorgeous.

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 22:18

sober the problem is the tits have all but disappeared GrinBlush

Thanks sober Grin
Nearly home then will post pics but adore this one, just didn't have my size. Too skimpy for a wedding though?!?!

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 22:38

Grin you realise that is now the picture I'm going to get when I think of you Grin (I'm totally sure that you are stunning and nothing like that in real life...we clearly all have a huge tendency to think the absolute worst of ourselves xxxx)

soberisthenewblack168 · 25/06/2016 22:43

I think that's lovely for a summer wedding. Would you wear a wrap or something similar for the ceremony ?
Sooo Envy that you can even consider something like this

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:00

Yeah I think a wrap...I probably need to show it to the bride as not sure how covered I need to be for the ceremony (church in Poland)...if I'm likely to become known as 'the one that got too drunk' I don't want to also be the one that really should of covered up GrinGrin

(Don't be too Envy ....my weight control methods are not generally recommended Wink Blush ...it probably sounds like I'm gloating about it but I'm honestly not xxx)

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:08

Dress 2...

soberisthenewblack168 · 25/06/2016 23:16

I like no 2 because it looks classy.
It is also something I would have worn about 100 years ago😀
No 3 is also good but you could end up flashing your knickers if you one sherry too many

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:21

No 2 is a good option...though although I won't flash my knickers in it I have to be very careful leaning foward Grin Also have a very boring navy one I'll probably end up wearing as not brave enough for the bright colours but wanted to try something different!

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:22

(Also I'm not much over 5 foot so no 3 is not as short as it could be!)

soberisthenewblack168 · 25/06/2016 23:28

Noooooo I forbid you to wear the boring navy one.
Trust me when you are as old as me you will think " fuck why didn't I wear more bright clothes and flash my knickers "
On second thoughts wear the yellow one 😀😀😀
If you wear the boring navy one I will find you and give you a slap 😘

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:40

It's never too late to wear bright clothes and flash your knockers SmileGrin

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:42

Knickers!!! BlushBlush

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:44

Or whatever you choose I guess (nightshirts and too much wine catching up I thinkBlush)

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:45

Nightshifts...I give up!

soberisthenewblack168 · 25/06/2016 23:46

Night Elba I am off to listen to some Headspace and sort through my big grey pants 😀😀

soberisthenewblack168 · 25/06/2016 23:49

Ha ha just seen that you want me to flash my knockers. 😀
Its been a while since someone asked me to do that !!
On that note I am def off to bed. Hope you manage to sleep well xx

Elba84 · 25/06/2016 23:57

Night sober xxx

Lalaladida · 26/06/2016 01:03

Just read back through this and laughed my head off!!! You guys!

Need a laugh, as I have just been at the emergency vets with Lalapup as some fucking idiot my fucking mother left a box of chocolate fingers open on the sofa so she, naturally, helped herself. Alas being a dog, that means she could probably die, so off we went to the 24 hour vet where she had her stomach pumped, and was forced to throw up for about half an hour, my poor baby.

Super harrowing though, they literally booted her out, as a couple turned up with an elderly greyhound who couldn't even make it out of their car, had to be stretchered in... Vet was like, yeah pay us later, we have more important things to worry about now. Made me feel really sad, no way that dog was going to come out alive, and snuggled my little bugger a bit closer (and secretly wept for the £200 it will cost me).

Anyway, elba I love the yellow tropical one. If you have a shrug to put over it, that would look awesome. Off to a wedding in a couple of weeks too, will have to run my outfits past the babes...

Elba84 · 26/06/2016 02:09

lala pup gets an extra hug from me, bless her! (Though if she's like my childhood dog the worst part for her will of been not being allowed to 'recycle' her sick!)

Please please please will someone tell my brain it's night...had a lovely day by my standards but it's about time it's over!!! Bastard nights are to blame I think..but this is with only 3 hours daytime sleep Confused I'm still hyper and agitated and drinking to dull it all, and it's not working. If I was sober and worked 9-5 it would be easier to gauge things, this isn't new for me after nights but still let me get the fuck to sleep!!!!
