oh goodness. What you've all been going through in just a few days. I 've been awol with a mildly poorly DD but nothing compared to some of the horrid things on here.
Carciofi - we match thanks to Fritz...I too agree these are super comfortable. Though jeggings more than skinny jeans...
LTEC - I pulled my vera moda top out of the wardrobe for the first time in ages and felt wonderful in it (with skinnies and biker boots)...only to log onto facebook and see taller skinnier you rocking the look far better than I 
. You looked wonderful as did the cakes and the DC's. I won't add to the wise words about SIL that have done the rounds already but am always in awe of your attitude.
Roman - I read with horror your au pair woes. We suffered with au pairs for years (as children). I always felt it was like having an older teenage sister that caused havoc and it certainly was tiring for Mum (though why she kept getting more I'll never know)! I think you are very wise to get rid.
Fleecy/happily - love the shorts/tights look and would be jumping right in there with you if I wasn't a lot bit older than you!
Tracey - stupid estate agent. I would have been so pissed off. We doing viewings now as well but nothing has been perfect.
NY - here's to your day getting better...what a nightmare.
No fashion news from me. Other than I unearthed some sherling lined boots from last year that for some reason weren't right then...but are wonderful now. very pleased.
