A & W - come back now!

[Fourpawedwondermutt]

That's an instruction, not a request! S & B just isn't the same without you :(

[ItsNotUnusualToBe]

is there a petition I can sign?

[lupo]

yes, why did it disappear?? Please come back!

[AmberNectarine]

Awww, you're too kind. I'm still floating about S&B, as are a few others. Most of us are having a no-spend January (not me) anyway so we might be a bit boring atm....

[AntPants1]

Yep we are still around. Am on no spend (ok min spend) January so yes very boring!!!!

[cardoon]

Was about to make similar demand

[PeppaPrig]

I quite agree! S&B isn't the same without you.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

I miss links from Decameron and her codes a lot

Also loved Blossoming's links and hope she's doing well.

[justasecond]

I miss them too, I loved the links. S&B is a bit dry atm, maybe because everyone is looking forward to the new season?

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Yes - I am so over winter. Am already mentally compiling new season wish list.

[cardoon]

POST IT MrsCB .....you know you want to.....

[ToastedTeacakes]

I have only just found a smart winter coat so the season had better bloody stick around a bit.

But let's face it ladies, it will rain until June, and maybe then some, so discussions about stylish rainwear should suffice.

[ToastedTeacakes]

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Yes, go on Mrs CB - let's see the wish list!

Mine is v boring - I want a hip length slim cowl neck black jumper, some sort of mini-ish dress or skirt and a big tan bucket type bag, I think.

[ShotgunNotDoingThePans]

Thanks - that is lovely but as a House of Colour former victim client, I avoid black!

[cardoon]

Wow, love that coat TT, how's the sizing?

[lupo]

ohh does this mean that the Avid and Wise thread is back? I have just bought the phase eight zoe dress in the sale -very nice fit and versatile.please link to YOUR purchases.

[faustina]

I love that bag Ambernectarine - the leather looks so pebbly!

[ToastedTeacakes]

The sizing is true for this coat, I think, so the XS actually is XS. Not vanity sized by any stretch. Most Zara coats seem big to me, although some a bit smaller in the arms.

The coat is also navy, not black! A bugger picking fluff off it though, but worth it!

[TheSandstoneCat]

Lovely coat Teacake but I am never confident about Zara sizes. Not sure they really do 5'9" 12/14 heffalumps like me :)
