Your help is needed

I had my wedding dress dry-cleaned and its now hanging up in my spare wardrobe.  With all the netting the dress does take up a lot of room and I don't think it's the best way to store it to prevent damage or the dreaded moths!  My friend also has a beautiful wedding dress that needs to be stored away too.

Can anyone give me some tips on how to store the dresses, I've heard there is some special tissue paper I should be using but haven't got a clue!  Any suggestions are gratefully received. xx

To store a wedding dress you need acid free tissue paper widely available on the net a large box theese can also be bought on the net but you can use any box so long as you cover it in polythene or a big bin bag the ideal size box is classed as an archive box. Just fold your dress into sheets of Acid free Tissue making sure the dress is fully covered then place it in the box. seal and cover the box in anything waterproof. you must ensure that damp can't get in as the dress will be ruined if it does.

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
