Regretably, right this minute the only thing I could warm to @Deafoldbat was wellbeing.

I've looked at it @Mick black bit only, and thought it was a shoe, then saw the metal at the top.  Then read your post, looked again, centered on the denim, still puzzled, then read the the other posts, came back to the picture and the penny dropped   Very clever.

Costs a bit more now if new @annieeg

I think she looks terrible and has obviously had work done.

Actually I always think she is trying too hard with severe looks and sometimes clothes @Lowena

I've got oodles of tops in that particular New Look pattern @SewRuthieSews

Same with the jacket, or jean jacket in my case McCalls 5860, not oodles but made 3 and dithering whether to make another.  I've taken in the sides recently as I wanted more boxy plus the weight loss.

The blackwood cardigan, I think I have four in it and wouldn't mind in a different fabric

I do need another dress pattern though, as I've been using an old McCalls, straight up and down and short sleeves, but I need a change.

I bought and even cheaper Motorola  off Ebay for about £160.  I  did some research and found they had the longest battery life, even longer if you don't switch on   Does every thing I want, which is mostly receive a code for different things, which it gets in seconds.  I don't use it much so my current contract is £7 something a month.

We've always kept a landline because in the event of a power cut they always work but now BT are threatening digital. 

I'm not a fan of layered dresses @marylou but that's probably because I'm short and the taller you are the better the range of things you can wear.  Men sometimes have funny ideas about what women wear.  Mind hates trousers, I've never worn them since I bent over at a kitchen cupboard and split them across the backside.  Black is another thing he doesn't like, but I do or used to wear occasionally (actually that dress will fit now I've lost weight).   

I'm 77 an I've just bought a Joe Brown dress after my husband saw another one that was or would be with my height down to my ankles.  He likes it, but I can guarantee he only likes it because of the colour.  Funny really, because Joe Browns actually ask your date of birth.

If you like it, who cares what anybody else thinks.
