  Topshop question -
I bought a skirt there in late august, it's no longer on the site. It still has tags on and I never wore it (it gives me a muffin top & I never bothered returning it) anyways I am going to be passing a topshop store tomorrow and was wondering If it's worth taking it back? Will thy let me exchange it for something else or is it too late?

Also I ordered a tunic from the website and there is parts of the print with black lines going through it (pic-http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae337/honeybee-/b1c421af.jpg and http://i985.photobucket.com/albums/ae337/honeybee-/5721978d.jpg) it's on 3 different parts on the front of the dress..I still have my invoice/tags are on/etc. Will they let me exchange it for something else or will it have to be a refund? (I ask because I paid with a relatives card and could do with the money to buy something new tomorrow rather than wait a few days for the refund to process)

Thanks!

  Is it possible to delete a Paypal account and then open a new one from the same email address with a different name?

I changed my name and obviously had to get new bank cards in the new name. I've emailed Paypal my change of name certificate and passport scan and done everything they say on the website but they haven't even acknowledged it, and

  has anyone dropped out of uni in the first few months & reapplied for the next year?
i started at leeds uni this september & i'm really not enjoying it. i have friends, but i feel very "southern" & just don't feel like i entirely fit in :(
has anyone found this in their first year but then enjoyed it later on? i don't know whether to stick it out in the hope that it may get better when i know that i could end up regrettng this if i leave it too late to apply for next year.
thanks :)

Hobbies!

  So, I need something to occupy myself; I work part time in retail, am struggling to find a full time job after uni and all my pals are 9-5 office types. When I'm off work I'm increasingly bored and feel like I'm wasting my life away staring a computer screen. All in all, I think it's time for a new hobby! Something to keep me occupied and interesting!

What sort of things are you guys into and what hobbies do you have? Even just a general interest will do? I'm looking for inspiration! I fancy trying my hand at something a bit different but the place where I live isn't exactly known for it's fun and varied forms of opportunity!

  What do you do when you're wearing a dress/top that's backless? Or some instance were you can't wear a bra? I'm a D bearing that in mind, I can't go braless. So what options do I have?

New Year's Eve at Edinburgh?
  off_highstreet - (biginjapan)
 
01:14am 16/11/2009  
  Has anybody spent New Year's Eve in Edinburgh before? My friend is coming over from Paris from December 28th to January 2nd and I have NO idea what to do with him! I usually just sit in the house on the 31st and maybe watch Jools Holland but he really wants to do something good... I live near Newcastle* but don't really fancy spending the night there & my friend wants to go to Scotland while he's over here too so it's a kind of two-birds-with-one-stone thing.

Anyway, have any of you been? Specifically, has/is anybody been/going to the Hogmanay Street Party? & also does anybody know any problems that could arise in not getting anywhere to stay for the night and just bumming around until the first train back? :-)

Thank you ♥


*If anyone has suggestions as to what I could do in the north east instead I'll gladly take them! I just don't want to spend a bazillion pounds getting a taxi back from town on the 1st :-(

Digital Cameras... again :)
  off_highstreet - (pocket_slam)
 
08:58pm 15/11/2009  
  I made a post on here a while ago about buying a DSLR... after researching heavily from all of your advice I decided that it wouldn't be worth getting one because the cost was too great for how much use I would get out of it for personal use, and I wanted other presents at christmas than just the one camera (can't help myself!) So instead I've decided to get just a normal compact digital camera... but now I am stumped as to what is best on the market. I currently have a Canon and I am not the biggest fan. I'm in need of the camera having a super zoom as I attend many *fan* events where a zoom would come in handy a lot, so I presume that is what the optical zoom amount is? My current canon goes blurry when I currently have it on a relative zoom, it is also bad taking pictures without the flash, which I quite like doing a lot.... I think I've been right in hearing that probably the better brand ones are the Panasonic Lumix and the Sony Cybershot, is this correct? If you agree with this, can you recommend me a good model of these cameras, or just back up my knowledge so I know I can get these brands? Anything between £100-200 is fine, or if you own a different camera which you think sounds perfect (great zoom, steady handy features that kind of thing!) can you recommend them to me? Sorry to ask so much but I'm stumped and dont want to end up getting a camera that doesn't do what I want and theres no photography shops near me I can go in and ask for advice! Thanks everyone (again!)

nostalgia party!
  off_highstreet - (marauded)
 
07:14pm 15/11/2009  
  i've finally decided to have my 21st in my house at home with my college friends, a small affair.

but, most of them have never been here before and i'm at a loss as to what (vegetarian) food to supply (about 15 ppl) and how to decorate the house, obviously it will be around christmas (dec 30th) so the tree etc will be up, but i want to make the place looks as sophisticated as possible.

do you have any suggestions/examples of how you catered for a house party and how you decorated, any inspiration will be very much welcomed!

The theme I'm drawn to the most is 'nostalgia', so lots of 80s/90s/early noughties songs, board games - how could i spice up the party games we were used to as a kid? (remember pass the parcel?) and people will be staying over after traveling for around 2-3 hours so dressing up would be an issue.

i'm going to stick pictures of me as a kid, a tween, a teen etc on the walls ^^

i'm sorry if this post is a little vague, even just post pictures of the best house party/21st you've been to?

thanks :)

x-posted.

i am absolutely full of these kinds of questions and pacing myself a lot haha, mods, if this really isn't the place then that's okay!

how do we feel about non-clothes items on the highstreet? topshop's sweets, primark's makeup, i've seen a few places selling CDs.

secondary question since it sprung to mind - how about music in shops? i've always had visions of future shops selling "h&m playlists" and such haha, which i would be interested in if it was free/a "fan made" thing :P

go ahead and discuss!

Good quality foundation?
  off_highstreet - (sparklyllama)
 
06:31pm 15/11/2009  
 
mood: curious
After months of being skint and using crappy cheap foundation, I finally have some spare cash to buy some decent foundation. Yay!

Only problem is, it's been so long since I bought any that I have no idea which ones are any good, which ones are best avoided, or how much any of them cost, so I was hoping you guys could give me some recommendations! I'm prepared to spend about 20 quid, and I prefer liquid foundation (although I do also like Benefit's Playstick).

Any help would be appreciated! xxx

  Does anyone know somewhere other than eBay that I could sell a laptop? It works just fine, I just happened to treat myself to a new (pink) one, and it seems a bit of a waste. I've never sold anything on eBay before, so I think I'd struggle to sell something expensive without any feedback.

Any ideas?

  sorry for the boring question but does anyone know when one is able to upgrade their phone whilst in a 24month contract? i am 16-17 months through a 24month contract with orange and would really like a new handset but i have never been on contract &upgraded before so i dont know much about the process. what would normally be the earliest that i would be able to change my phone and when upgrading, do you normally hand in the old phone? i did phone orange and they said i could not upgrade until may (which will be 22 months into my contract - does that make sense?) they werent very helpful. my friend managed to upgrade during her contract without problems and was really surprised that i couldnt do the same. apologies for cluelessness. thank you.

lastminute.com - booking flights and hotels. Help please?
  off_highstreet - (fairy_scarsx)

  Me and the boyfriend are planning to go Tokyo in March 2010

Tues 9th- Tues 16th.

Its our first time doing this, booking and going on holiday without family...

We found a deal on lastminute.com
Which sounds very good.
Around £1300 something...for return flights and hotel. (thats for two of us)

this is the hotel
Shinjuku Washington Hotel

Has anyone ever stayed there?

Also; it says the baggage costs are not included, does anyone knows how this works? do we just pay on check in? how about on the way back from Japan to England.. do we pay again? Im a bit confused... also do we pay when we stop off aswell for baggage? im so confused!
Roughly how much is baggage per bag/ what is the max limit? and also anyone have an updated plan of what we can bring etc with the whole shampoo thing? or is it okay to bring whole bags of shampoo as long as its in suitcase

Also; how was your experience with lastminute.com? are they reliable? Sorry for so many questions but its alot of money so better to ask.

It's all very scary... I don't even know how airports work... : S
