Ahh, my mum has just gone home, having cooked and washed up roast rib of beef etc for me, so it's just us at last!
Yesterday I finally managed my trip to The Shops. In short, my friends, it was frickin disaster! Everything I liked was not avail in my size, eveything I tried made me look hid-e-ous! Tried the striped Janice. Lovely dress, actually looked good with my figure, but am so over my face/look lately that nothing I try will be nice for now.
I, stupidly, tried this, which is amazing, but not on someone with boobs. Also in FC, tried this bird print shirt dress, which I love in theory, but something about it put me off - the price, maybe? There was a sale rail dress in Whistles that I liked, sleeveless charcoal, with coral animal print on it. Suited my shape, but again, there's something about Plummy...
Managed to look at the Kew knit I fancy, though not in my size. Have ordered it, though, to collect tomorrow. If it's a keeper, will wear with this bling, in a WIT stylee.
Did go to Gap, but had forgotten voucher, and anyway was very jumbled in there. May go back, though, as they had some good PJs in the window for the DCs.
Finally sorted through my M&S order this morning and did a fashion show for my mum. Everything going back, although I will be reordering these heels in a different size. And possibly in the navy suede as well, as think they would be quite useful, and less harsh than black. I wonder if M&S will do a 30% off event this year?
Did a tonne of Xmas ordering today. Cox & Cox, Letterbox, Emma Bridgewater, Yellow Door, Not On The High Street all got hit up for goodies. No idea yet what to ask for for myself. Really, would like a night away somewhere on my own, to sleep/read/write/think, but fear that's a few years off!
DH still in Berlin, DD asking every day if I think he'll remember to bring her a present. As he's at an IT conference, he will no doubt come back laden with promotional crap at usual, so hopefully that will do. Luckily, she's a sucker for a flashing pen
