Yangy - I like both those dresses.
House offer was declined and we actually feel a bit relieved - I wasn't a 100% on the house and the location was worrying us both so a good thing I think.
LTEC - you sound uber-stylish as always 
I ordered the joules cardigan as 20% with grazia so we will see. Have also ordered DD an I Love Gorgeous dress as one of the few places that seems to do nice long sleeved dresses. And with my reckoning thats the same price as a monsoon dress and cardigan for her 
Dolcee and OWW - hope you all feel better soon. I just can't shake this cold either - may have to start taking a multi-vitamin or something.
MM - I like the aigle - tis very nice.
