EDINBURGH xmas night oot/swallie

[nailpolish]

yes it sthat time again folks

any suggestions?

Evening all!!

Well i was out on Saturday with my dd1's nursery mums Christmas/get to know each other better. I was fine till i started on the wine. I ended up pissed as a fart!!

I wasn't the worst there btw,thank god.

So a plea to you all? DO NOT let me have wine on the 20th? I will be having G&T all night. NO WINE ever!!!!

LOL agalch. You lush!!

Well, I'll be on the wine. It's the spirits that would send me OTT.

.... not that I wasn't quite merry last year just on wine!

I feel the need to say what I am wearing (for some reason!) I have bought a 60's style shift dress in black lace from H&M and I'm wearing red tights and black high heel mary janes. So there!!! You are all stressing me out with clothes talk. Oh, and I am going for glittery eyeliner!

Surely algach that was just a warm up for the 20th!

I bought a top last week for a rare night out, so I will just shove that on with the regulation black trousers.

I can't be arsed with glitz because it usually means wearing very little and freezing my arse off all night, so I am going for the sensible option.

But my charm and wit will more than make up for it.

Of course it is Mawbroon!

Lilliput - my Mum & Dad were going to go to your dh's restuarant for the tasting meal but it was full!

They are looking forward to getting there again some other time.

lilliput that sounds fab you always look amazing

It does sound amazing - you'll look fab!

I'm now worried that what I was thinking of wearing will be positively middle aged (but then, I am middle aged! ;))

how can a dress with a split to the crotch be "middle aged"

A warm up Lilliput? Oh god i really want to behave lol. I am turning into a such a piss artist It's years od BFing and no booze that's done it you know!!

I am not getting really dressed up this year i don't think. Will wait and see what DH's bonus is like first before i commit myself to wearing anything in particular.

Lol NP i was just thinking that

... but it is so well cut, you don't notice it!

Maybe I am just looking for an excuse to go and get a new outfit . I'll know if I still have a job by then, so whether I can justify spending the money.....

haha we may not notice it but we may all have a gawp now at your "up to your crotch" cut dress lol.

Awww PB i am only joking. You will look great i am sure!!!!

I am going to wear my nice new spotty wrap dress that I like to think is a bit Nigellaish ( i.e. low cut).

No crotch viewing unless it flaps open inappropriately as wrap dresses sometimes do.

You don't think a wrap dress is too middle aged ? ( It's not from Boden btw)

Hello All - still coming, busy studying and no fecking idea what I will be wearing. Nothing half as glam as you lot by the sound of things. Might need to get mu finger out.

See you all soon.

You'll look great anyway Gomez.

I think people have got the wrong idea about my Nicle Farhi dress! It really is quite respectable!

I've seen some really nice purple shoes n LK Bennet 9and if I were being pratical, the same desing in black) that would really help bring my outfit up-to-date (plus I have realised that all my shoes - both owrk and casual, really have seen better days ).

However, I'll have to leave it unitl the last minute before buying any new shoes as I'll need to wait until I have found out whether I am being made redundant ornot . The earliest I'll get an answer to that is week commencing 8 December - but it may still be going on w/c 15 December I'm going to be formally told that I am indivually at risk on Thursday (along with the enitre sales team)

And until we know for sure what my situation is, dh is in major lock down with regard to our finances. No Christmans shopping until after we have found out. So much for getting ahead with our Chrismtas preparations, which had been his heartfelt desire in the early autumn

hiya, just checking in...i don't have a meal choice for emmablether or butterfly. also, upwind are you coming?

Emmablether's computer has been down but i showed her the menu and she asked me to post it for her.

She wants the Soup to start, then turkey then Chocolate tart.

thank you. what about the other names?

Could you maybe start a thread for the other two?

Might be an idea?

It's very nice of you to do this btw
