Oh len - yes, you need to keep that sequin jacket! That is ideal hoovering clobber! It will look amazing with a simple black outfit like your wide leg trousers as you say.
I think laska has the right idea about the rock and roll jumper soy. As it's sold out you'd really regret sending it back... But if your lovely DH is offering it as a Christmas present, it would be rude to refuse! Though as you're making life easy for him, he also needs to get you something else too 
. Genius.
Am v intrigued by dementor Meryl. ( or dementia Meryl as my phone wants me to say...). I'm going to experiment. better than DH saying that I looked like something out of Dr Who when pulling it on
Good plan with the shopping and parent visiting cherries. But take it easy...you have been having a difficult time too recently so don't do too much and tire yourself 
. The ticket inspector was right, though... . Yay for keeping the jumper, but grr about the empty box. That's awful if it has gone missing en route. Hopefully hush can figure out what has gone wrong.
huff That does sound sensible even though it's painful sending back stuff you love. If you're not going to wear them, it is a waste though. I'm totally guilty of the comfort shopping thing too and the eating biscuits. I've been putting on weight slowly over the past few years, and though I'm now (even more) slowly losing it, my shape has changed, so even clothes I physically fit into don't really suit me any more. But I do have more than enough lovely stuff that now does suit me I think, and I just need to start wearing it rather than buying more...
