It might be worth adding that you can vote for as many or as few blogs as you like so if you just vote for 'does my bum look 40 ...', and ignore all the other categories, it doesn't take long at all ;-) <br />Debbie xDebbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-76713293192395202212014-05-15T04:12:18.555-07:002014-05-15T04:12:18.555-07:00Hi Kat.

Meaning (this is my excuse anyway) that I've not and very much doubt ill snap back into shape this time! But Im determined, already dusted the gym gear off ready! But in the meantime i don't want to look rubbish squeezing into pre pregnancy clothes but i haven't got money to burn! So can you suggest a few classic wardrobe items to mix and match to see me through? I also want to say, whilst Im rambling, i love your blog! Its my saviour when the little ones are in bed and I sit down to catch up on current affairs ;) xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534534978347181935.post-91633399297866470732014-05-15T01:33:40.456-07:002014-05-15T01:33:40.456-07:00Phew!

I do like the thinner ones, but can't see me choosing them over a more classic shaped jacket.
