and more to the point, are you moisturising your face wildly (with Garnier products of course...)?.... what are you wearing? ....and other important matters!!

I am going (luckily it's not far from my office)... see you there! I will be wearing a pink carnation in my hair and that union jack dress modelled by Geri in the next catalogue so I should be easy to spot ;)

(In case you're wondering, it is a MN panel thing which came round by email not on a MN thread).

Me! I am going!

I have no idea what I'm going to wear.

I'm just hoping I don't have massive zits on the day ...

RachelHRD · 10/05/2012 11:14

Me too!!! Very excited but BIW I'm with you - I have no idea what to wear and my hair is a Mumsnet haircut mess!!!

Kbear · 10/05/2012 11:28

Get online and order that union jack dress too and we'll all fly the flag!

I told 13 year old DD that's what I was going to wear... she gave me that face, you know the face. The "Mum you are so embarrassing" face she does so well.

So trousers and nice forty-something top it is then :( !!

AnnieWinehouse · 10/05/2012 12:04

Oooh I'm going, but I'll be wearing my work clothes - jeans and long sleeved top! (long lunch today, boss?)

My hair is a mess too though...

Kbear are you really wearing a UJ dress!??? cool...

I'm a Garnier user anyway. Is this why we were chosen do you think?

Kbear · 10/05/2012 12:49

Annie - no I'm not.... my inner 18 year old would love to though!

I am coming straight from work in EC1 - which way you coming from ?

OP posts:
BIWItheBold · 10/05/2012 12:51

I'm not a Garnier user, so not necessarily.

I'm over 50, which could be why I've been chose - to represent the older demographic.

I'm veering between trying to dress up, but risking looking spectacularly dowdy next to the lovely Davina, or just going casual and then feeling really under-dressed

Kbear · 10/05/2012 12:56

I'm not dressing up in a union jack dress really.... ! , I will be at work in the morning so the usual uniform of pair of strides/jeans and a top. Plain old kbear!

OP posts:
BIWItheBold · 10/05/2012 12:57

.... apparently my original posting name (BecauseImWorthIt) is nothing to do with my selection Grin

Kbear · 10/05/2012 12:57

you have to now change it to "Take Care..."

OP posts:
Kbear · 10/05/2012 12:58

and I'm an Olay girl! Don't tell....

OP posts:
Tanee58 · 10/05/2012 13:09

I'm Going I'm Going I'm Going!!!!!!!!

Daren't tell my chic 20 year old DD yet - she'll think this is so uncool. At 54 I have to grab all the fun I can get!

Kbear, I'm an Olay girl too. My 87 year old mother swears by it, and she's looking good. I'm hoping to get my M&S Shapewear voucher in time to get something to hold in the lumps and bumps - otherwise I'll make two of Davina.

RachelHRD · 10/05/2012 13:13

LoL Tanee I got the shapewear voucher too - but don't think we'll get it before the event so a pre-warning that my lumps and bumps will be in their full glory Blush

Oh and I'm a moisturise when my skin is flaky I remember so not very often!! Don't think my 2 and 4 year old DC's will appreciate how exciting this is!!

AnnieWinehouse · 10/05/2012 13:19

Kbear, I'll be coming from SW7, and returning there after.

I didn't get on with Olay, I genuinely like Garnier!

So there's 10 of us?

kbear
BIWI
Annie
Tanee
Rachel

5 more!?

clux73 · 10/05/2012 13:29

Me!!! Not sure whether to be excited or terrified!!

BIWItheBold · 10/05/2012 13:56

Let's go with excited. Much nicer all round Grin

Fillybuster · 10/05/2012 14:18

I'm going to be there too....I'll be wearing a slightly frazzled expression as my new boss has just stuck a 3pm meeting in my diary for that day....i can't tell him about Davina and i'm damn well not missing this so will have to invent an off-site customer session or gynae appt to explain why I'm late back to the office Hmm

DH is laughing at me for wanting to go...

Tanee58 · 10/05/2012 14:30

The girls in my office think this is hilarious - but they're young enough to be my daughters and don't have to worry about wrinkles yet. Their time will come...(smiles darkly).
Have decided I'll be wearing black - as usual - so slimming. Or purple.

Fillybuster · 10/05/2012 15:06

I'll almost certainly be in black, head to toe. Easiest to cope with when avoiding colour co-ordinating when half asleep...

Mominatrix · 10/05/2012 20:18

I'm coming! Not a Garnier user - in fact, I said I use whatever is in the house at the time. Not sure what to wear, jeans and a jacket or a dress. I'll be driving and can do pick-ups on the way from West London (need to rush and pick up DS2 from school immediately after in Little Venice) - please PM me if you'd like a ride.

AnnieWinehouse · 10/05/2012 21:32

Thanks for offer of lift Mominatrix, but I'll be ok with me oyster card!

Filly you skiver!! (me too...)

SO 8 now:

kbear
BIWI
Annie
Tanee
Rachel
clux
Fillybuster
Mominatrix

2 more mystery guests!!

hellymelly · 10/05/2012 23:04

I'm going too! Am so looking forward to it, I have no idea what to wear either. Will be coming by car, and then train, and then another train, so will be frazzled and creased and dehydrated of face.

Kbear · 11/05/2012 09:21

hellymelly - sounds like a trek! Where you coming in from?

OP posts:
hellymelly · 11/05/2012 22:45

Wild West Wales (TM). We have all sorts of loveliness re beaches, dolphins, seals etc. But no sodding station and no Selfridges...sigh.

Kbear · 11/05/2012 22:50

You are dedicated! Presumably you're staying overnight to hoover up all that Selfridges has to offer! I am a lightweight by comparison, I work less than a mile from the venue!

OP posts:
RebeccaMumsnet · 14/05/2012 08:08

I'll be there! Very excited.
