I had the wantsies for a Sydney Evan Disc Necklace as worn by the lovely Lorraine Stanick but what I didn’t have the wantsies for was parting with $1020 to get it. Eeek!

I searched everywhere for a cheap dupe online, but I just couldn’t find one that was big enough/ sparkly enough/ dirt cheap enough.

So I set about fashioning my own.

I took one pair of drop disc earrings from the current Oasis Sale £4

These were good because they had a fixed eyelet already soldered to the top of them, meaning adding a chain would be wee buns (easy peasy)!
I just used a pair of pliers to detach the bar from the disc. Then took an old unused necklace and fed it through.

Voila!

I think it’s really classy, although I would like a finer open link chain but that’ll be easy enough to pick up for a few quid in Accessorize or the like. Most importantly it has satisfied my want. When I get bored of it I won’t feel guilty tossing it. Especially for £4.

My top is from Tesco, I think it was around £12. Just really loved the slogan and print

Not much planned for today, we have all 4 kids all weekend so that should be …….. fun?

I also have a tonne of housework to catch up on. Thankfully Noah has decided all things cleaning related are AMAZING!?! So I have a little helper today!

That's my boy!

Mr Mop

You could eat your dinner off it!

Have a good weekend whatever you get up to, and much love to all you kind and wonderful people. You know who you are

My MacBook Air was off being fixed today, hence the late night posting. I missed it loads but have to say that I got a hell of a lot more housework done

My mum lives in Belfast (a.k.a The Big Smoke) and came down to lend a hand with a bit of a premature spring clean. Funny how company in distasteful things such as HW makes it much easier to do, not to mention a hell of a lot quicker!
We did manange to banjax the garage door in the process of our vigorous cleaning tho, its one of those old type, I believe its called an “up and over”. Managed to eventually get it shut, not sure if we’ll ever get it to open again tho…….

After dinner we played Monopoly “The Electronic Banking Addition” with my eldest son, if you haven’t already but love the old Monopoly this is a must. Totally negates the need for the paper money thing, you still have a designated Banker but its all done using little credit type player cards and a calculator that adds or subtracts money from your total. Really very cool.

Tomorrow I have a ton of errands to run and then on Wednesday morning I get my weigh in at Weightwatchers. I had orginally intended to update my blog with my weight every Monday but seeing as the meeting is Wednesday that seems to make a lot more sense!!!

I have been very good and I am hoping I have got 2lbs off, I am slightly worried I will be de-motivated if I’ve stayed the same, or worse yet put weight on… eeeeek! Hopefully not!
For me variety is key if I am to be successful and also making sure that the house is well stocked with healthy food. The minute I have to start thinking about what to make or pop to the shops for ingredients is when my resolve starts to slip and my hand reaches for the cookie jar.
I also need my treats, at the moment my faves are the WW Almond Slices £1 in Tesco and the WW Chocolate Rolls, yum!

Speak soon peeps xox
