ilovecherries · 18/02/2019 09:39

Also still wearing my very sexy anti-embolism stockings!

dontcallmelen · 18/02/2019 09:52

Yeahy so glad you are starting to feel the difference cherries outfit today sounds lovely & lacy vest top will now be a staple in your wardrobe 😍take it easy though & factor in lots of rest.

NotAnActualSheep · 18/02/2019 10:16

Oh, brilliant cherries!! So glad you are up and about and getting to grips with your new body. Really looking forward to seeing the new you (once you're out of your surgical get up of course)!!

V jealous of all the holidays coming up...can't wait to get a bit of sunshine. (Actually, it's pretty sunny here - but still freezing.. )

each that jumpsuit is amazing! It really suits you...love the print.

Hope you all have a great Monday.

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 10:28

Fantastic cherries ,Do keep at least one of your old bras, ..then when you are healed and can buy something tiny, lacy and wee, youll be able to compare ( and perhaps post us a photo of them both so we can marvel). Whistles Lacy vest sounds fab..

I want thisdress and have now been looking at it for a couple of weeks, but have never bought Toast dresses before ..Shall I get the S or the M? (36E boobs)

dontcallmelen · 18/02/2019 10:41

Ooh lovely dress, going by the review I would say a small Laska

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 10:48

len But Is it too 'Little house on the Prairie' chic? (perhaps cherries perhaps you could ask your daughter for me !! )
Toast are not very good at showing stuff on models {{https://www.toa.st/uk/product/womens+loungewear/cjlal/gingham+linen+dress.htm?clr=CJLAL_SlateNatural_sw but here is the same style on a model]] (scrolldown) .. I want to look floaty and cool on a hot holiday ..not up the duff!

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 10:48

sorry trying that link again

ilovecherries · 18/02/2019 10:51

DH has just gone into work for a few hours. He stayed home late to let me sleep then help me have a bottom-half shower and wash my head, and cook me breakfast (which I don’t actually need done for me, but was nonetheless very lovely). DD went back to uni yesterday, and now realising it’s the first time I’ve been on my own for days. I couldn’t walk the dog yet but it’s a lovely day so I think I will try a gentle doddle to the end of the road at least.

I’ve had a good look in the mirror today without the bra. Till now I’ve been changing the bra in the bathroom without looking in the mirror till the bra is back on, but felt up to looking today (plus no longer terrified they will fall off the minute the bra comes off!) and I’m amazed at the shape he’s achieved. I somehow expected smaller versions of what I had before but I actually have perkiness and no overhang. And my side boob has completely gone on one side, and on the other I think it will go - that one was much bigger to start with, had a fair bit more taken away and is much more swollen and bruised. Although I do have pretty impressive bruising that goes well round the back and is creeping up to my collarbones and down my abdomen now. Now looking forward to seeing them properly on Friday when I have my first dressing change - haven’t actually seen the scars yet, but quite frankly I have so many of those already, as long as they heal they don’t worry me.

Lovely dress, laska. I really like the blue. I’d have thought an S - toast is usually pretty generous.

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 10:54

cherries you should be able to fit the Xs in the blue now!! ..Oh gosh i really want my boobs done now! ..

ilovecherries · 18/02/2019 10:56

Hm, yes,the model does look rather miserably pregnancy, doesn’t she. I think it’s a try it and see. It’s the sort of dress I can imagine you’d wear to death if we got another good summer though - or at least I would with my sun-dodging tendencies! I think I can safely say my dd would not approve though!

dontcallmelen · 18/02/2019 11:07

Laska I think cos of the shape at the sides, it won’t look ‘Little house on the prairie’ & you are quite tall so wont swamp you, my dd probably wouldn’t approve either, she is currently into jumpsuits/playsuits.
cherries think that’s the worst bit, actually having a proper look at what’s been done, shape sounds amazing & am wel jel of perkiness.
So glad that you are happy, don’t walk to far though.

dontcallmelen · 18/02/2019 11:09

The model definitely doesn’t do it justice though, far to big on her.

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 12:27

Has anyone got a Toast referral code they could Pm me ?

NotAnActualSheep · 18/02/2019 13:03

Oooh yes - I like that dress laska - I'll PM you with the 15% off code (it's just my name, which I think you have from when you sent the pinecone necklace - but I'll send it anyway Smile ).

I have a similar one with tassels and 3/4 sleeves from the winter sale, and it is huuuuuge. I got an M and an S would probably be better - but i'll only wear it with a belt, so it doesn't matter. So I think an S would be fine for you. Toast dresses seem very inconsistent. There are ones like this where you can hold parties in them, and others that are actually quite neat on the top/ waist, though still generous on the bottom...

EachandEveryone · 18/02/2019 13:16

I want mine done now as well😦 my back is killing me an nothing looks right. I dont know if i can face it after last years hysterectomy and i dont think my sick pay would cover it as wouldnt it be classed as cosmetic?i know a couple of friends that had the op easily in the 90’s but i doubt it would happen now. Anyway, i better prioritise my dreadful bunion does anyone know if the op works?

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 13:30

Not thanks I have ordered it !! Smile

each I m sure once we get a look at cherries we will all be wanting it .. I am always so unforgettable in bras..I also have dips in my shoulders from the wide straps I need to wear . Id just like neat little boobs i had before going on the pill (if i had known that i never would have ) and then and then they got huger from pregnancy breast feeding and never went back.. Id love to be a nice A/Bs so I wouldnt to wear any bra at all ..( but I suspect they wouldnt do that for me even if I asked)

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 13:31

unforgettable in bras !!!!? Grin Uncomfortable ! (ruddy auto spell!)

ilovecherries · 18/02/2019 13:34

I actually had approval to have it done on NHS each. (it’s still offered in Scotland under certain very stringent guidelines). Ironically however my DH’s private medical insurance through his work wouldn’t cover it, as they always consider it cosmetic. However, it may have been considered as a clinical need but because it was non-urgent,and never likely to become so, I kept being cancelled, so decided to pay, as I was convinced I was going to become illegible on the basis of age if it kept slipping away from me. However (I’m getting to the point!), the consultant did agree there was an orthopaedic need and had I needed sick pay, would have framed it on that basis.

NotAnActualSheep · 18/02/2019 13:42

Yay Grin . Glad someone gets some money off due to my frankly obscene spending in the Jan sales! Now I just need to NOT LOOK AT THE WEBSITE with 15% off...

I like the concept of being unforgettable in bras...

Laska2Meryls · 18/02/2019 13:45

oh FFFs!! Ive just realised that if you scroll down on the original link I posted there is the model wearing the yellow and the red in that dress ..Duh! head slap.. They all do have tiny norks though.. so I may well look like a ship in full sail! Ah well we shall see..

dontcallmelen · 18/02/2019 14:10

Well I’m sure you would be a very majestic ship in full sail Laska but I reckon it will look really good on you.

SoyYo · 18/02/2019 18:01

Hell ooo 👋👋 got home late last night after a great break. Unfortunately DH caught a flu/cold virus so poor chap is floored today and I found a ton of work related stuff to catch up with. Argh
But DS2 is now fully moved back home from Brighton and that’s a relief.
@cherries just to add to the well wishers on your recent boob op. I’m pleased to read it’s over and that recovery is going well so far. Take it easy and soon you’ll be wearing fripperies (I’m also very jealous I think I’m now officially the one with the biggest “assets” on this thread Sad). Bravo!
@laska I think the Toast dress looks effortless cool and with your height/build I hope you can carry off well (I know I couldn’t).
@melen I totally adore Menorca and have happy memories of many holidays when DC were small. It’s perfect with little ones and the beaches/Med picture perfect.

Waving hi to everyone too I’ll get round to posting pics of my Spanish buys eventually. I only bought one pair of Pikolino shoes and a tie dye shirt in a satin fabric which was bargainous as the insoles for my flat feet were ££, but they’re already making a huge difference.

SoyYo · 18/02/2019 18:02

Forgot to add each you look lovely in that jumpsuit 😍

FuzzyPuffling · 18/02/2019 18:20

I had a moment of dress-happiness yesterday. Last year I bought a Phase Eight pale grey linen dress and I LOVE it (even though it's bit big for me now). It turned up on T K Maxx's website yesterday...jolly cheap. I bought one (a size smaller) and am planning to dye the original one a fabulous colour. (Probably blue or green or turquoise.)
