Hi all,


Quite often when I am nodding off to sleep at night, a question pops into my head, and I think, "I must post this on the forum - it is truly the only place I will get the right answer." Of course, when you wake up next day, you think - "How bonkers was that?"


Last night I considered posting a picture of an outfit I intend wearing to a wedding in April, and asking you if you thought the shoes were too dark! (In the cold light of day, I have realised, that they may well be, but I don't give a stuff if they are or not, I ain't buying no more....I'm only the bridesmaid after all!)


Any other crazy threads you've considered, then rejected for their inanity. Or do you just post on regardlessly?



PS - Should I post up my outfit?

Yes, definitely post your outfit.

And yes, I think of things to post all the time, mostly completely barking. Fortunately, my brain to mouth, or rather brain to typing fingers, filter is usually quite good. I do have occasional, embarrassing lapses though and the crazy sneaks out.

Link to bag failed, but anything a la Kidston would be sublime.


The dress is absolutely beautiful, I am sure you will look knockout. My only thought is that flat pumps with a strap at ankle position won't be flattering to your legs (nb, dark colour not a problem). Push the boat out with some heels.

Thank you for your endorsements Moos and PGC - I value your input! However, I must say I am not mad keen on heels, as I never wear heels and dread the idea of sore/tired feet.


I am conidering taking the shoes back to m and s in light of your comments. Good call!

HI Wee Quinnie,

Gorgeous gorgeous dress - I love Coast, always my first choice.

Glad to hear you're returning the shoes - good luck in your search. I had a similar problem when I was a bridesmaid - I simply hate wearing heels (come May I will return to wearing Birkenstocks for the next six months). But I did find some small silver heels in Dorothy Perkins (of all places!).

Love the necklace - you haven't mentioned what you are doing with your hair, but I have discovered that a fascinator adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a wedding outfit!

I am loving this thread Wee Quinnie - I definitley might post outfits in the future ....

Ooh, ooh, this is the funnest thing. Thank you, Wee Quinnie for starting this! The bag is lovely, and you can be tres smug when people ask you where you got it from.


Have you thought about wedges? Heels, but comfy! Great stuff. Or something with an ankle strap so it doesn't fall off your feet when you dance, but in a pale colour so flatters your leg. Sorry haven't found any shoes yet, but will keep trying.

Thank you Moos - hadn't thought of wedges.

    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).     
    • How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee? 
    • We went as a family of four in October. Flights were OK (Cathy Pacific, in their January sale) and accommodation was relatively expensive in Tokyo (definitely not £30 a night) but food/drink/transport/shopping were way cheaper. Easy to feed four of us in an izakaya for £40 including drinks. Shops like muji & Uniqlo half the price they are here. We ended up needing to buy an extra suitcase. Was an incredible trip
