what shoes/accessories with this dress please?

[ilovetochat]

I have bought a dress off ebay for a formal summer charity do, ive put the picture on my profile, hopefully it is visible.
I am rubbish at dressing up so please help me find shoes/accessories as i dont even know what colour to go for.
The dress is a dark bluey purple with black lace over the top.
Do i need anything over my arms?
Final question, im a bit scared of it slipping down a bit too far, any top tips to keeping it in place?
Please help!

Oh no, you sound really poorly.
could anyone help ypu with dd, or could dp take some time of to help with dd?

its the hardewst thing being a sahm when your ill.

do you think you need to see a doctor? it sounds really bad.

i hope your ok.

im worried about you.

i just took dd to my mum and dads this am and shes being playing with her cousins.
going shopping tomorrow as i need to take some shoes back, i couldn't decide what to buy so i brought 3 pair then decided at home!
i never used to be so indecive

thinking of you xx

mom is coming when she finishes work at 4, dp on a course till 4.30. stepdad would normaaly come and help but he has teken his dad to hospital for results. dp offered for his parents to come but they would be no help they just sit and chat and cant carry dd or anything.
jus have to wait till 4. stomach pains getting worse since having toast.

oh no, at least your mom is coming, i wish you lived round the corner, i could pop round to see you.

it does sounds like maybe something you have eatten?

thanks jp, would love someone to pop round and play with poor dd, she wants me to play

i bet our dd would love to play together.

we wouldn't even have to entertain them they would entertain each other.

can see watch tv orsomething till your mom gets there? or play being lazy, which i waas doing with dd today which is basically cuddling up on a blanket snuggling together.

dd has woke from nap crying and has now fallen asleep on my lap
she has been lovely today hugging and kissing me saying dont worry mommy and making me pretend tea.
id love our dds to play together, cant persuade you onto a cruise in sept can i?

oh yes! i won't need persuading!
dh will be working though as usual.

awww bless her looking after you.
they are so lovely

now is my favourite age so far, dd is my little best friend, walking along telling me to look at pretty flowers and the other day i sneezed and she said whats wrong mommy dont cry. she tells me things like i dont know them too which makes me laugh, if i say ill get the milk, she says here it is in fridge, i found it, like i couldnt find the milk, ha ha.

aww i can't wait till my dd is talking properly must be so cool

its great cos she can tell me how she feels, the other day at playgroup she came over and said i a little bit scared so i could cuddle her, so cute.

awwwww.

that must be lovely

is your mom there now?

hopefully your tucked up in bed
either watching tv or Mn on your laptop

mom came and waited with me till dp got home at 4.30, his course ended early. then mom had to get back to stepdad as they had 2 pieces of very bad news today, stepdads dad has bladder cancer and stepdads aunt has 6 months to live with bowel cancer. its a terrible time!
dp has made dinner and taken dd out for a walk and i have been resting on the sofa, no laptop though unfortunatley. starting being sick again just before my mom got here but ok at the moment.
thanks for your concern for me

Oh I am so sorry to hear that

how awful.

are you close to your stepdad and his aunt?
cancer seems to be everywhere these days
did you know they where ill?

i'm glad your dp is taking care of you.
maybe an early night?
hope you feel much better tomorrow, well illness wise i mean.

feel a bit better today, no more sickness although my stomach still hurts and im aching particularly my neck. dp got up at 5am with dd and then got her up at 7am and gave her breakfast so he has been good looking after us.
I am very close to my stepdad, dd loves her grandad and has been asking for him today, but i dont know his dad only met him once, i know his aunt quite a bit and mom and my stepdad holiday with her and are very close as they are the same age. stepdad bought me some medicine round last night but he wouldnt get out the car as he was too upset.
last year dps parents had a stroke and cancer and both recovered and now this.

oh dear, such alot of stress to cope with at once.
its strange how life ticks along fine for a while then when things happen/go wrong lots of things seem to happen all at once.

you illness sounds really horrible do you think you need to see a doctor?
do you think you could be pregnant?
its weird to get the pain in your neck isn;t it.

i find a nice hot bath with lavender drops helps when i feel ill.
i don't know why. just does.

take care
glad your dps looking afetr you

thanks, dont think i need the doc, think im getting better. shouldnt be pregnant and had no sickness last time so dont see it as a posibility. had a lovely long bath last night which made me feel more human.
how are you and dd? is her bday soon?

oh think i might have a soak in the tub tonight too.

dd is good thanks, it's her birthday in june, is that when it's your dds birthday?

half pcked for tomorrow, just got to get up earlyish now!

i'll check back in on you when we get back
in the mean time take it easy.

dds birthday is July so not much between them.
hope you have a great break, should be lovely.
chat when you get back

Hi love to chat, how are you now? better i hope.

well we had a great weekend, the weather was sunny and lovely.
the hotel was fab.
we had a lovely meal.

i had crab cakes, dh had mackeral, then i had beef dh had duck then we finished with a trecle tart with butter scotch sauce and clotted cream, with some sugar snap creation ontop.

oh that was lovely
dd had a bowl of chips
with bit of everything else the duck beef and fish.

we also had a nice lunch when we got there over looking the sea.

she loved the beach, she was running and laughing, there was sort of sandpools, like rockpool minus the rocks

she was paddling and falling over on purpose!
she got soaked through.
we did a few sandcastles.
then we went to the hotel pool, was lovely and warm.

the second day, dd found a little friend on the beach.

we would love to go to that hotel again.
i think i'll post the reccomendaation on chat for any other mums.

i think our next weekend away will be to lowestoft, a tad cheaper than sandbanks.
2 sarnies and drinks for lunch was 30quid!

glad you had a good time, sounds lovely
I am much better now thanks and we had a good weekend playing outside and going to local parks.
dd is cutting 3 teeth so has been crying out in pain and her fingers are red from sucking/biting them poor thing but at least its getting them all out the way at once i suppose.
she has also started some major tantrums, throwing herself backwards, screaming and biting me hard, she actually says il bite before doing it she gets so angry. terrible twos starting already
dd has been invited to a swimming party saturday so im looking forward to that, she will love it.
i now cant wait for our holiday, i hope we have nice weather then too as i cant wait to see dd on the beach, last year she was only crawling when we went so it will be nice to see her running about.

oh good i'm glad your better
what do you think it was, a bug maybe?

aww your poor dd with her teeth.
its not much for them.

the trantrums are hard work aren't they? dd have a few today, she threw her playdoh across the kitchen, she was doing playdoh while i was making the tea.
i hop neither of them start with the head banging.
what do you do when she says i'll bite!

we are going for our usual thu swim tomorrow, the out with dds cousins fri, mum and dads on sat.

got a thread that might be interesting for you
here

when she tries to bite me and sometimes succeeds i have been saying no and putting her down or moving her away from me and she sits quiet and then comes over for a cuddle, its like she cant control her emotions, she is getting far more loving and cuddly but also more aggressive.
i think i had a bug but the effects of tiredness and achiness lasted about 5 days, very waring.
we dont have much on this week as its half term but we had a library session today, my dad is coming tomorrow and i think baby gym is still on fri.
i had a look at your thread, sounds like the move is more a possibility than ever. i like a lot of the older houses you linked to, the bournemouth one looked lovely!
