Wiggle Wiggle ....

Wore this outfit a couple of times recently - well i say recently - 1 time was was in April to go over to my parents and the other was more recently to go to see Robbie Williams in his Swings both ways tour! (Which was FAB by the way)

When I wear this skirt It always reminds me of a 1940/50's style "wiggle" dress especially when i wear it with a tucked in shirt ....

I like the silhouette it gives me ...

This outfit was worn on Easter Sunday - If you've read my previous post you'll know I'm catching up a fair bit!!

I had the idea of layering checks over checks, and also went for a double denim look - I kinda like it - but am not 100% mad over it ...

Hey country girl ...

HEY!!!

So I'm back to blogging (for now anyways) - if you have been reading my blog for a while you will know Ive had gallstones - well my gallbladder pain got worse over several months and I wound up having to have two operations, one to remove my gallbladder and the multiple stones inside but also an operation to capture a stray gallstone which was trapped in a bile duct near my pancreas and making me very poorly and jaundice!

So that's where I've been really - recovering - I've had a fair few outfit posts to put on the blog though so they will be appearing (hopefully) over the next few days/weeks ...

I wore this outfit to a hospital visit to see my consultant - well one of the team of surgeons (who didnt wind up doing my operation anyway) the other month - my surgery was postponed for a few different reasons.

It reminds me of a country style outfit, i can imagine going for walks in the fields wearing it :) 

I am a country girl at heart ... i grew up in a small countryside village - how about you do you prefer the country or the city or maybe the coast??

Gallstones!!!!

Grrrr I have gallstones!!!!!

I'd been having pains in my right hand side that were getting worse and i was very sick .. so i went to my GP who sent me for an ultrasound which has shown that I have multiple gallstone's in my gallbladder and some that are loose in my intestine's! 

I now have to decide if I want surgery to have my gallbladder removed or not - I'm going to speak to the surgeons next month!! I have a lot of things to consider - and will always put my daughters well being first in every decision i make - with my Fibromyalgia i take longer to recover than "healthier" people so I really have to think about this one ... I've been told that it can be managed with medication and diet and that even if i have my gallbladder removed i may still have to have a special diet and may still experience pain - so will i gain anything by having an operation???

So I haven't really been getting dressed or taking blog pictures for the last couple of weeks and have been mostly in hoodies and pj pants or if we have gone out, say to the supermarket, just casual clothing so I've not taken any pics .. these pictures are ones I had stored from a few weeks back!!

The outfit above is from when a couple of my best friends came over for a "cheese" night!! :D
