Who would have thought?!

My employee from the cafe where I work has also recently opened a womenswear shop where I've been working part time. The other day she asked me if I'd like the position of store manager! She said that I obviously have a love for the clothes and my sales so far have been higher than anyone elses. It does make me giggle as it's a fairly high end fashion shop with absolutely beautiful clothing but nothing over about a U.S size 6, certainly I never would have even ventured into the store two years ago, let alone bought anything from it. I have definetly developed quite a passion for fashion and my wardrobe is starting to heave with the overload - my husband groans as it takes so long to get ready to go out now because I have so much choice where as before I had one good outfit and a selection of baggy trackpants. Although it's a good groan as he's very proud of me - took a while for him to adjust to the attention I'd get though. Anyway heres a picture of the new dress I've bought that I'm saving to wear to prizegiving night for my husbands rugby club - where I'll be able to show off my new arms and flat tummy due to the plastics!

That is great Heid. Congratualations on your promotion to Store Manager. Maybe you will get bigger discounts so you can continue to feed your shopping addiction. S

I'm so happy for you... it must feel sort of like Christmas when you were a kid!

CONGRATULATIONS on the promotion that is too cool.

I find that i take much longer to get dressed now trying on
things and takes me a bit to find the final outfit probably like
you said cause i have more choices now.

I cant see the dress photo on this computer but will check it out
later on my other pc!

Congratulations on the promotion. that's so cool. i don't go into those stores now, they jiust piss me off. (can i use that word here?). but can't wait till i can and actually buy something that i can wear.

Roo keeps telling me that after the surgery as i lose weight he won't let me go out with the bank card because he knows i love clothes and when i am able to buy more that fits i'll probably still be spending more than i do on clothes now. I keep telling him he'll have to come shopping with me to help keep me in line. hehe.

that is one smashing dress, can't wait to see you in it, for that matter can't wait till i can wear something like that.

by the way how is the pain from the plastics? how long were you in pain for? Just curious. i am a baby when it comes to pain but have already decided that when the time comes i'll just have to suck it up and bear it cause i will be getting whatever plastics i need. can't wait to get rid of the chicken wings.

this is a post full of can't waits isn't it? so much to look forward to,
