On the whole we had a good weekend - one bad bit though.  I had a facial booked at the hair and beauty salon that I've been going to once a month for years, so I know the lady who does the beauty treatments really well.  When I got there she wasn't in - in fact they said she wasn't back from her holiday, which was bizarre - I assumed I'd got the ( Read more... )

Hiya to all my lovely friends

We're trying to get as many people as possible to vote for the NRM to be on the York version of Monopoly.  if you think it sounds like a good idea, please vote here : http://www.minsterfm.com/monopoly.php

Spent a couple of days at my Mum and Dad's in Cheshire, which was lovely.  Daf behaved pretty well, although he got a bit fretty and upset at times especially about sleeping.  I think he just didn't want to miss anything - it was all too exciting for him.  We did think he was teething as he kept chewing his fingers, but as he calmed down as soon as ( Read more... )

Daf's hips are ok - just need to keep an eye on him when he starts walking.  He's put on 2 ounces over the weekend (they insisted on weighing him again yesterday) and is now 65cm long - which puts him on track to be 6 feet tall when he grows up, which is exactly what I want him to be.

I managed to get some cleaners into trouble at the clinic ( Read more... )

Well life is as busy as ever.  In the last couple of weeks we've been to an afternoon tea party and a christening.  After Easter my antenatal group are starting a gardening club - we're going to take it in turns to go round to each others houses and do the gardening.  It's a great idea, although I will have to remove all the cat mess from the ( Read more... )

Turns out the purple shirt dress had a button missing on the bottom, so rather than try and find a similar plain black button, I decided to replace all the buttons.  Nine purple ladybirds later, I have a rather fun dress with cute buttons.  *grin*.

And the purple wrap dress was a comfortable fit - as I have DD breasts at the moment, that's not a bad ( Read more... )

Well the lilac shirt dress arrived yesterday and looks ok, but nothing special.  Has a button missing at the bottom and no spares so I'm going to have to match the button or replace them all.  Bit annoying as that wasn't mentioned on eBay.

The wrap dress arrived today and I haven't opened the parcel but already I'm impressed - this is how it was ( Read more... )

Many thanks for everyone's suggestions.  I've gone a bit mad on ebay and bought three dresses!!!  They may or may not be suitable but altogether they've cost less than £30 so I'm not too worried.  One is a purple wrap dress, one a lilac and purple print shirt dress - both Monsoon and one is a John Rocha jumper dress in green.  Surely even I can do ( Read more... )

Hi shopping savvy friends!  I need help.  I want a nice dress to wear to a tea party and a christening this month.  Something fairly feminine and pretty but I don't mind what colour as long as it's not pink or what style as long as it's fairly fitted and not smock like!  But it must fasten down the front - with buttons, wrap front etc so I can ( Read more... )
