Help to glam up for a charity ball!

[Skribble]

I have been invited to a charity ball and as my recently exed H might be there and because I want to ditch my frumpyness I want to go glam.

I have two possible dresses one is black from M&S as recommended by Gok, I have never had a chance to wear this out yet. I think it would need some clever accesorising to make it more suitable for a ball.

I also have a red chiffony type dress, log with a sort of ruffle down the front, I think it makes me look a bit too mature and doesn't do as much for my waist as the black one, but again glammed up it might be better. Kind of like this but less flary at the bottom and as I said a ruffle down the front.

Yes I am nearly sorted I got a nice necklace that could pass as an algerian love knot and dangly earings. Practiced my smokey eye look but won't go as far a Vesper she is just a bit too smokey.

BUT...........
exH dropped the bombshell that he will be going now. Argh I was hoping to have a good relaxed night now I will be tense and it will surely affect how efveryone else intereacts with me with hime being there. Lots of mutal freinds and collegues not all of them know we have split, but I am sure they will by the end of the night. I am not really looking forwad to going now .

I wasn't going to go I was reasy to chicken out, but.. I ahve book accom so I am going now. I text exH and told him I wasn't happy about going and didn't feel very comfortable. He said he won't be staying all night but I don't know if that makes me feel better that knowing halfway through the night he will be off to go home to her argh I wish I could put all the emotions aside but I can't. I get so angry and upset when I think about him with her and all that they must talk about and how at future functions that involve partners (this one doesn't) that she will be tottering along with him.

I am begining to panic about family things now as all celebrations etc are usuallu at his mums or involve the inlaws as we were very close. What if I turn up to a birthday and she is there, I don't want to upset my kids by dragging them home, but I couldnt stay. It takes me all my time to be in the same room as him. I can't even think about him having the kids to stay, I don't want that to happen.

Sorry this was all supposed to be about getting glammed up for a ball I just feel so and
