Oh cherries - I agree that is a lovely thing you are doing for your DD - and also how nice of your DH to offer to drive
. (Did your car get fixed relatively painlessly by the way? That didn't sound good...)
And way back in the midsts of the thread when you were considering a change of job (I really need to keep up more!) I totally agree with others in thinking you'd be inspirational in a weight loss/ makeover kind of role. When I was looking into setting up as a consultant a few years ago I went on a few workshops from "business gateway" (Scottish thing - but I think there is an English equivalent) and they were very helpful in helping consider your strengths/ your market etc as well as the practicalities of self-employment etc (which I know you know already!). There was a chap there who was looking into setting up as a personal trainer, and his USP was that he'd been "a bit of a porker" (his words
) and worked really hard to get fit...so he was able to understand how it felt to start from "nowhere" in fitness etc. And the trainer indicated that that kind of thing really made people stand out from the 20-something gym-bunnies (or the male equivalent) that dominated in the PT area, and made them much more relevant and appealing to people in the same situation...
codfish - I hope it goes well on Monday. Sounds pretty gruelling. I'll second what others have said on floaty dresses/ soft waistbands etc etc. In fact, i think most of my work wardrobe would fit your requirements (but then, I would work in my pyjamas if i wasn't scared of a surprise Skype call....)
fuzzy - I hope you and your DH are recovering. Sounds like a very stressful week
. And also soups - so sorry to hear your DD is still having a hard time. Though it sounds like you have a really good support network for her, and the school is looking out too.
Also soy - thinking of you and your DS - it is a long journey but he does seem to be making steps in the right direction. And Go You with your self-sabotage leading to a next round of interviewing! Well done - even if you decide not to take it further..they obviously think really highly of you. I always find that I do better with interviews if I really can't be bothered one way or another with the job!.. If i really want something i work myself up into a frenzy and then cock it up 'cos i'm so nervous...
A big high five for all of you who went on the march on Saturday. It just wasn't possible for us to travel down, but it was so inspiring to see the coverage of it. Wish TM wasn't so f*ing dismissive of it all - the government's response to the revoke petition was appalling IMO 
Loving hearing about and seeing everyones purchases - you all look fab
Also lol @ laska falling splat... Sounds like a great haul though. Love the look of the chamonix chinos and also never's cropped jeans - though I have some similar from last year, that i hardly wore 'cos it was too hot. Must dig those out! Also really like the linen jumpers so interested in finding out how those are (though I don't need any more..).
Not sure anything is really strongly calling to me, though (which is probably just as well, as I'm not buying anything til after Easter). I love the turquoise leopard print - and may consider the linen t-shirt or vest in that which I think could work with the blue santana. And I also really like the twist-front dress - though oddly not so keen on the same print on that. Wish they had that in another plain colour other than black. Looking forward to seeing how people get on with their recent orders though, as that may give me some inspiration...
