We May Be Crepey.......

[CointreauVersial]

.....but we are still Stylish (if not Beautiful).

Hope you find me, Crepeys. I know your eyesight is not what it was.......

I am slightly crepey...

Found you CV
Hi stledger - welcome to the mad house...
CV low Carbing? I am failing (I blame dp) tips??
Meanwhile downward slope to end of school, and packing beckons.....

I don't think I've posted since the 2nd thread

Since then, I've given in and bought reading glasses in Superdrug. I do have to point out they are only 1.25s though, so I barely need them.

On the other hand, I'm thinking of asking my GP to up my HRT dose

BD - lay off the chips.

OK, OK, you probably need more......actually, there are lots of excellent threads in the Slimming/Weightloss section if you are after inspiration. BIWI's your woman - she is very disciplined.

Or try the Pig to Twig book - you might know India Knight from the Sunday Times.

I don't do chips (where's the halo symbol?) I suspect it's the wine that's the issue (and the bread.....)

I have seen that biwi woman - she scares me :)

She's lovely in RL, not scary at all!

Seriously, I started just by giving up the obvious stuff, like spuds, rice, pasta, bread and cake. The rest kind of evolved. I was pretty strict for the first few months, but I have relaxed now.

I have lots of stylish reading glasses from Poundland (trendily known as Dealz in Ireland). I have recently gone up to x2. I wonder where that will end, do I just need stronger and stronger? At least they aren't around my neck on a string.

Oh but I covet little half moon reading glasses dangling on my bosom on a gold chain, Stieger. But I don't need them yet. As long as the light is very bright.

I have met BIWI. She is indeed lovely.

I am reading a book about low carbing, but had spag bol for dinner and a bottle of Chardonnay (shared). Will it make my big fat belly and swinging tits disappear?

Okaaayyy....so, my recent sale extravagances bargains, for your perusal.

From M&S: this top for going out, and this dress, handy for work.

From Monsoon: this skirt for work, and this skirt (although the second one is still under review; I would wear it casual with a fitted teeshirt). I also bought a lovely royal blue top which looks lovely with my white jeans, but can't find it on the website.

From Boden: this dress, in blue. It's for a wedding, so more than I would normally splash out. And this cardi, which will hopefully be a handy basic. The Boden stuff hasn't arrived yet.

I eventually took the lovely blazer back to Zara, but - result! - found the one I really wanted, in my size, and even cheaper. I can't find it on the website, but it's a lovely greeny colour, a little bit Chanel, and will look nice on a night out.

Phew.

Ooh, stleger, whereabouts in Ireland are you? DH is a Roscommon man.

I am in Cork, but will be in Galway on Saturday, and I grew up in Belfast...but spent the eighties in England. Our local Marks was flooded a couple of weeks ago. it is a small branch with food and Per Una. All the Per Una stock was destroyed

Every cloud.......

Ooooh, I'm new here how crepey does one have to be to be let in to the crepey club? I love clothes but sadly they need to be bargains these days, crepey and on a budget, could be a dangerous combination!

No club here, all welcome! Especially if you have bargains to share.

Hi all, half moon glasses - yes, bring them on. I can (largely) get away with not wearing glasses except first thing in the morning/last thing at night, I get ds to read packets to me when cooking - is good literacy practise :)
Cv those low carb threads are scary - are they living on fresh air over there??
But it's got to be done, too much stuff is too tight these days...

I'm definitely crepey and had varifocals prescribed for the first time earlier this year... though I still peer over the top of them to read small print!

Love clothes and bargains which is good as clothing buys tend to come from charity shops these days as I am a very mature student.

Ooooh, some new names! Hellloooo

BD, my eyes are worse first thing and last thing, and I get DS/DD to read packets/labels to me all the time!

Another few events ticked off - saw DS in his Y6 performance last night and DD retained the 100m title at Sports Day.... Now got a big "do" at our place tonight for our Head who is retiring...

Nooooooo! not at my house, at my work Everyone is busying around making it look really naice!

Are you going to wear the swimwear for the BBQ?

I see your retiring Head do, and raise you dinner with the Chancellor and VC.....can't wait (she lies...)
