Oh....stop it.
Lurpak is the superior choice of butter, isn't it?

Yeah 
They do a light version but I've never checked the syn value, I would only be disappointed.

Jez, ever since you mentioned Vivien of Holloway, I have been on the website making a mental target wish list of all the dresses I want. I need a job, my running total hit £1000 pretty quick
Any other places you'd recommend I look at?

Woah thanks chick!! I'll have a perv later on with the bf nearby so he takes a hint Sizing wise, I'm an inch (all over) away from a 24 on vivien of holloway I don't plan on buying anything until I'm nearer a size I want to be, but it's nice knowing I can if I have an occasion anytime soon
My clothes just now make me feel sad, I add all my personality with accessories, which can look odd if the clothes aren't right. I just can't wait to feel like myself in my own clothes
I would love some custom made stuff, or even better I would love to make my own clothes! I make my own jewellery but its not the same!

I can sew but I don't- just too much hassle. The time it takes I'm happier to just pay someone the £60!
I get what you mean about clothes and personality- I think it's hard one you get past a certain size to inject yourself into anything. My clothes at the moment make me feel really middle aged. I'm a pretty "out there" kind of dresse- take my hair for example- so it feels weird having all this boss hair and makeup and not fitting into decent clothes to go with them.
Anyway, i've got a mammoth hangover today went to bed at 6am and that's only because I was dragged!! Woke the neighbours up singing Meatloaf at 5am apparently....oh well.

Check out POLKA DOT POLLY - Home or Home - Vintage style for the modern woman for lovely hand made 50's inspired dresses in some fantastic fabrics...bit like Get Cutie but a bit cheaper!! Polka dot polly goes up to a size 26 I think in some styles, price range from 35 to 65 sqids per frock, both have Farcebook pages as well that you can order from. Big Beautiful Barbara Brown is good too again hand made to order but vintage from 20's to 70's, but lovely 40's styles...the evening gowns are to die for, and she goes up to big girl sizes!!! I'm hoping to fit into my Call me Betty red Ice Cream Sundae print frock for a wedding next month, bought ot on the sale last year...size eighteen...fingers crossed!! Going ti treat my self to some new shoes from Miss L Fire (also on Facebook) georgous...and they will fit how ever much of a cake botherer I am!!!

Haha
Meatloaf is a legend, I wouldn't mind if I was woken up by someone singing that! This morning I was rudely awoken at 8am by our neighbours having bedroom furniture fitted!! I was pretty glad I wasn't hungover or I think I would have killed someone! Hope your hangover has gone by now Well girls, I have a whole new wardrobe planned from all of these websites, and oh about 100 pairs of shoes picked out! Just need to learn how to walk in heels! I want the clothes now but I can't afford them and I don't plan on being this size for much longer anyway so it'd be pointless
But anyway thanks for the enabling!!!

I have a friend who makes going out "clubbing" kind of stuff. You know the kind- not much of it, lycra etc. She isn't a particularly good seamstress but she makes a fortune because she's reasonably priced, charging £40 ish for a couple of hours work. Girls, especially round here, will get a new outfit every time they go out and feel like they are getting a cutom service even though they aren't- she knocks out the same old sh*te for everyone!!
DOOOOO IT!

Oh I don't know, we were on our fourth rendition of Dead Ringer For Love!!
What you like?? Show us! Especially the shoes!
And no, i've still got a hangover but i've been out schmoozing my clients. It went well, although I had to award myself a night off plan as there was no way I was getting a low fat meal out of that restaurant!! Full update tomorrow.

The post with the good news.....
Ooooh nice haul (even if it is imaginary). I already have those leopard print shoes but in red Might have to get a second pair....
So...I've had a mad few days! Mum's bday on friday- I ate a syn free meal before I went as I had intended to drink a hell of a lot. Got through 2 bottles of rum (with diet coke) and half a bottle of gin- surprised I didn't end the night in a&e to be honest. As already mentioned, found myself screaming along to Meatloaf at stupid o' clock in the morning and did the whole dance to Proud Mary apparently. Woke up on saturday with sore legs- oh well, at least that's a bit of body magic
Had to sort myself out for v.important meal on saturday night- took a potential new client for a schmoozy meal to a posh place in Liverpool. The restaurant was nice but, quite frankly, the menu was weird- they didnt explain any of the meals properly so it was like pot luck!! Had mussels to start (in a white wine and cream sauce with a piece of crusty bread) then Fish & Chips which wasn't too bad- the fish wasn't battered and you only got about 4 chips so it can't have been that naughty. Didn't touch any sauces and had two glasses of wine to look sociable. Also, skipped dessert but had a glass of Ron Zacapo Centenario rum- £10 a glass, the robbing swine!! It could have been worse I suppose.
But the good news it that the schmoozing worked well and they offered me a contract there and then The MD of the company said it's the only time he's ever done it- that's how much I impressed him, so I was well happy with myself So that's the mortgage paid for the next 4 months at least.
Treated myself on sunday to a new dress just for being so bloody awesome.
How is everyone?
