Sorry to hear about your dd dolcee. Hope things improve soon.
Glad to hear your family were better behaved this time ollie.

I wonder what an avid and wise Christmas party would be like. Where would we have it? What would you wear? (Complete fantasy obviously!)

Hi evening a&w'ers!

zembo I am a winter, yes. Can't wait for my Janice to arrive tomorrow, well it better! Love the uniqlo styling. Won't do AV, see earlier post.

*roary, you need to get JCrew to the UK! Change jobs!

marsha, apuski, mrsj, I've had a glass of wine so will admit I did Richard Ferber after I almost crashed my car from fatigue with dc1. That's my first and last parenting comment!

What is Richard Feber? Grin

lol at ltec's Real Time shopping feedback Grin

and lol at roary for the muggings

pickledsiblings · 11/11/2010 21:18

el cheapo New Look one

MarshaBrady · 11/11/2010 21:19

Ferber rather!

hf128219 · 11/11/2010 21:21

I saw that comment - Hmm. None of your business springs to mind - but I do like the idea of muggings. Grin

blossoming · 11/11/2010 21:23

Can 't link marsha, but he has a book called 'Solve your child's sleep problems'. From baby to teenage including night terrors.

Oh that's good Bloss so we suit similar colours and I can now copy you with abandon and complete confidence that I've got it right. I've also worn Janice with navy blue (almost exact match) heattech polo neck - nice and warm. AV tops are too sheer for me; the heattech ones fit me really well so I have loads, very useful.

Cake hope you're buying loads Grin. I'm just packing up my travelwrap to send it off to be reconditioned - have you had yours done?

LetThemEatCake · 11/11/2010 21:25

Ok. Have Mellonhead. Have sashimi. Have green tea.

Have tried on 1000s of ££ worth of stuff Grin

Have bought silk sleeveless leopard blouse, statement necklace on ribbon, black roll neck.

mm glad you got a time-out. Seems that the south London posse are doing well on the charity shops of late! Nice work. Am wearing my £7 camel coat today Smile

Well done to all the sleeping babies!!

Zembo · 11/11/2010 21:26

And Bloss my DH often goes on about the true value of things (i.e. a fraction of what we I pay!)

hf128219 · 11/11/2010 21:27

LTEC Way to go girl! Smile

blossoming · 11/11/2010 21:31

Good job ltec, and good for you monkeysmama.

Really can't wait for my massive Phase Eight order tomorrow!

hf128219 · 11/11/2010 21:32

Bloss Look forward to a report on the delivery. I am going to check out the stripey Janice tomorrow.

LetThemEatCake · 11/11/2010 21:33

Note to self and others: Janice and buckly boots not optimum trying-on gear. Had to ditch the AV, was slowing me down!!

Tracey outfit sounds great, hope someone is shouting you drinks in absence of csshpoint!!!

LetThemEatCake · 11/11/2010 21:35

I am the Nina Meyers of shopping Grin

blossoming · 11/11/2010 21:37

How's your hair ltec?

OP posts:
hf128219 · 11/11/2010 21:37

LTEC Should have ditched the boots too. A bit wet and cold though? Grin

LetThemEatCake · 11/11/2010 21:40

Am a less surgically modified beautiful Ms M

Zembo · 11/11/2010 21:42

Cakey I was thinking that exact same thing re: the boots - what a faff taking them on and off x 100!
Looking forward to seeing a pic of new hairdo, I like to think that's what mine looks like on a good day (not often). Your afternoon/eve sounds like it was bliss esp the green tea Grin

roary · 11/11/2010 21:42

Zembo do you like the Uniqlo thermals? Do they keep you warm?

And how is pregnancy treating you, are you feeling well?

blossoming · 11/11/2010 21:45

Post photos on here ltec. (Shakes fist at fb).

PlumSykes · 11/11/2010 21:46

Oh, you do muggings, roary? Interesting. I run a crack den, with a brothel attached.

MarshaBrady · 11/11/2010 21:47

Ha ha joins in with Bloss.
Damn you fb shake shake Grin

PlumSykes · 11/11/2010 21:47

cheapo belt

hf128219 · 11/11/2010 21:48
