This is a mixture of horsey and not literally so upset and angry right now and there is no one home!!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a horrible day for me dizzy has her X-rays to find out what is going on with her back legs and I also have to go to the funeral of an old and dear friend!!!! Already bad had just been made horrifically worse by the fact the black dress I ordered on Sunday for the funeral tomorrow at 9am arrived today and it is the wrong size! About 2 sizes too small!!!!!!!!

I have just sat and cried I am going to have to go to a funeral tomorrow in colours! She was quite elderly so this will offend people I don't own anything black! Ranting down the phone at the company didn't seem to help either even though they were very quick to refund and give me gift vouchers! But what am I going to do!!!!!
 
Deep breaths and a big cup of tea! Oh and have a hug too. Do you have a dark coloured coat? Navy anything? Or grey? How about smart office type clothes? I don't think people expect black for funerals nowadays as long as you're smart and your hair is neat and tidy.What have you got and we'll try to help you from that.
 
First of all good luck with the X-rays tomorrow and I have never worn all black to a funeral (and had my fair share to go to a couple of years ago). Your friend would be pleased to know you're there and I doubt she would of been bothered what colour you wear.

Have a damn good cry and then open a bottle of wine and toast your friend.

Hope tomorrow goes as well as it can x
 
I don't think there was more than a couple of people at my dads funeral in black & he was 87, with lots of friends of that age group there. So long as you avoid a really bright summery dress you'll be fine.
I think nowadays even elderly people see black at funerals as out dated, the important bit is you going, not how you look - wear something you know your friend would have liked & forget anyone else's opinion.
 
Gosh what a horrible day for you. Are there any friends you could ring and borrow clothes from? Even if it's just a black overcoat it might make you feel more appropriate. Failing that, Tesco/Asda! Failing that, just dress smartly, few will think you inappropriate. Good luck for tomorrow, just remember to keep breathing.
 
Oh my thank you so much for the replies. I have had a good cry down the phone to my mum who as usual put everything into perpespective. We came to the conclusion that the dress was the straw on the camels back due to me working 70hr weeks the moment, having a poorly horse, losing a friend and being made redundant. In light of all that the dress is pretty small. Going to drink tea and then pop myself on the bus and go to the big sainsburys which a lot of you brilliant people have already suggested. Thank you again!
 
Thank you mrs Mozart that is so kind. I am going to go and get something I rang her family to find out what everyone is wearing and they are wearing red white and black and they have also asked me to carry the coffin! A massive honour.
 
Thank you everyone :) I have a clear head and something to wear! Also talked with my vet who will be xraying while I am at the funeral, she was really helpful and said that she will be able to put the X-ray pictures in an email for me and we can have a chat in the evening about the results just got to keep all body parts crosse that we find what is wrong and it will be something easily solved. Thank you again everyone massive help this evening xx
 
(((Hugs)))

When there is lots of big things that has happened/is happening, it is often a small thing that, as you said, becomes the last straw on the camels back. Hope you find something that you feel okay with wearing to the funeral, and that everything goes as well as possible tomorrow.
 
Hey honey, don't worry too much, just wear dark sombre clothes. Grey, navy, brown or even a deep dark purple would be ok especially if it is smart. If Prince Charles can wear colour (navy suit) to a state funeral then you can.

If you don't have anything phone round your mates to borrow something or pop to the supermarket. Or pist your location here and we might be able to help.

Don't worry though, being there us the most important thing.
 
Glad you have sorted the clothes, now I have everything crossed that you will get a postive report tomorrow night from vet.

Look after yourself tomorrow, will be thinking of you having such a difficult day.
