Just wanted to bob on and say a quick hey so you all know I haven't disappeared off the face of the earth. Things are a bit hectic at home at the minute, we are having some work done, decorating, new fireplace etc so things are a bit all over the place. I'm not sure how much blogging I am going to be able to get done this because the router for the internet is in the living room which is where is being decorated so I'm not sure how much ill be able to get done.
Since there is going to be so much going on, I think I maybe spending some time in my room this week away from the dust and paint smells (both of which effect my allergies) so I am hoping the ever growing pile of things which are waiting to get photographed for review may at least get photographed, which let's face it is half the battle.
This week has been pretty busy, I just don't know where the week has gone. Sunday night seems to come around far too fast if you ask me!
Not a lot to really share with you this week because I haven't really been up to much. I went to give blood again today and I also registered while I was there to become a bone marrow donor.
Also in the process of moving things around and tiding, we sorted some of the clothes we had at the bottom of our stair place where there is some storage, we had to move some stuff so we could put a new shoe rack my mum had brought to put shoes *cough... My shoes... Cough* on. Anyway while moving the stuff I came across my prom dress. I knew it was there but I haven't looked at it for so long because I knew it didn't fit. Out of interest I thought I would try it on since I am now only about half a stone heavier than I was when I last wore it! I wasn't expecting it to fit and I certainly didn't expect it to do up but it did :) I honestly at one point in my life never thought I would see a day where I would get back in that dress so I am so glad that I now can - not that I have an occasion to wear it but ya know it's just the principle!
And so you can nosey here is a picture of the last time I wore my prom dress - 17th December 2004
I hope you will all stick with me! I will be back! I am going to be trying lots of new recipes from the new slimming world magazine this week and I promise I will be back as soon as the decorating is done!

When I got an invite for a family friend who was having a rock/prom party to celebrate a host of celebrations this year which had happened - a 50th Birthday, an 18th birthday and a 16th birthday all in the space of a few months - I knew I was going straight down the prom theme. I did briefly look at the rock side but who doesn't want the excuse to don a pretty dress and heels?
In the last few years, I have accumulated some lovely dresses what with one for my 18th, 2 lots of graduation and various weddings and parties I had a few to choose from. However yesterday when on the morning of the party I finally decided to sort out what I was going to wear I was shocked to find that 3 or 4 of my dresses were wayyyyyyy to big! Including one I brought at christmas I have only had on once! Heres what I went with...
What do you think about customising your clothes? Have you ever adding in a bit of detail to make something jazzed up a little??

Dress - New Look - £12 in the sale around Christmas
Tiara - Claires Accessories - £2.50 in the sale
Bracelets - Peacocks - £4
Necklace - Primark - *I think* around £3
I brought this dress back at christmas and I have only worn it once. When I brought it the piece of lace you can see across the chest wasn't included - it was something I added in (or rather my Nanna sewed in for me) and I think really adds something to just a plain LBD. I teamed it with my old faithful glittery heals which I love and are perfect for dancing the night away! I stole the below photo from when I wore them a few months ago but just so you can see them!
