MIX AND MATCH

Ok here I  go......a bit of a Sunday rant come interested in things.

Fashion, not sure I like this bizarre 2016 look of the straight off the shoulder dress with straps....on please so NOT smart.    Some people like me don't have shoulders......nor hips and a flat bottom...for that matter so simply does not work.  Liked some of the looks mentioned By Francesca Mullin in The Times magazine 09/04/2016 Shop....p56-57.  Love the black and white large spot dress from Hobbs...jazz up with jackets or cardigan (colour match of clash) and really nice shoes works in my view for business or that special event but you can 'dress' it as a look. I note with interest that some dresses I saved from about 3 years ago are back in style.  I like stripes but not all work, like the Aquascutum and the Iris and Ink......examples but not the price....look around. I also like the dress from Coast with counter-wise stripes.   I hunt around second hand shops, found a similar dress to the Aquascutum one shown in such a shop.....£5.99 and boy does it work....oh and lace is back so out come my lace.....


Now for Mr Cameron, I wonder why do we have Tax Havens? do they work like ISA'a? I have been a tax payer all my life from age 15. If I am lucky to have some spare cash I put them in premium bonds and ISA's.  I have just checked my pension statement prediction ..... I will get my state pension when I am 66 should I live that long given I paid in for it will my relatives get back my contributions....No I don't think so. I have 40 years of full contributions....I have also an occupational pension which I paid 11% of my monthly salary ..... should I live, then my occupational pension will be reduced.....Why?????? I paid for both.   I pay tax on my occupational pension.  I fully understand welfare issues of others BUT I have paid my dues.

European Referendum, when I was young I voted no to joining the European Common Market...what to do now...my gut is to vote Leave but but but....I am not a UKIP type voter.   What I beg is that people VOTE it is so important.....I am thinking it through - example not happy with open borders or so much of our cash going into an unaccountable organisation.......however would like to see the sharing of information about criminals and terrorists....again who is a terrorist?  

Sad for India again, following a collapse of a flyover last month and last night a Firework display going wrong...after the denial of permission to hold it on safety grounds.....

Me dressed age 15 playing Mrs Serephita Lunn in a Shaw play.
