penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

I've found it - the school run dress for autumn winter 09

(151 Posts)
the holy grail. Perfect for school run then on to lunch with friend?

I've just ordered mine and I intend to wear it over jeans and converse sometimes or with black Hobbs boots with coloured opaque tights.

I suspect it will look okay over turtle neck thin jewel coloured top as well?

Please don't let it be crap as I love everything about it, especially the price.

Oh I'm ALWAYS going for drinks parties after the school run ~ especially the morning one grin!
swedes I saw it yesterday it is quite flimsy and the jewelled bit around the middle is very sparkly not subtle at all!

Oh for goodness sake. If you are going to a drinks party immediately after the school run, you throw on a jewelled turban, a pair of dangly earrings and some heels, and off you go. If you have time to get entirely changed, then you change into the gold leopardskin catsuit with the peek a book front.

Dress still hasn't arrived.

I agree noddy, what on earth would you wear in the evenings if that is school run garb shock!

Love the dress! MrsMotMot I also agree with you, I dress up everyday, school run included. Never wanted to have the "mumsy look"...
Thank you for the welcome! If I wear stylish boots and lipstick, typical, I am the most dressed one. Think sweats and scruffy hair here. They make it very easy to seem stylish and current though they probably think I'm vain, they may be right

I'm lucky if I am actually dressed on the school run. Buy I am on the slummy mummy side of the playground!

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
