Never worn shoes with a heel, only wear trainers or flat boots - can you learn to wear heels? I always fall over!

What do i do with my hair? Its waist lenght and chestnut colour and very thick but also very frizzy and doesnt react to straighteners well (its wavy at the bottom) How should i have it? (it hasnt been cut for yrs )

why don't you ask one of the people you talk to to go shopping with you
someone who always looks good
that way you can get to know her better
suck up to her a bit
"come shopping with me, you always look great, would like your opinion, will buy you coffee"
people respond well to obvious flattery I find

Ok, this is the plan!

Am meeting my friend at 9.30am in the morning after we have both dropped the kids off and then we are going into brum.

Where should we go in brum?

I need to be fitted for a bra, find out about make up and try stuff on. Also need to make appointment at hairdressers and look at shoes etc.

Also just phoned my mom and arranged to borrow camera so you can judge my shopping lol
