Party frocks ahoy! Avidly and wisely dressing ourselves for the party season!

[blossoming]

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!)

Right off to bed- rock and roll, me! I have 2 books that I am reading that I must devote more time to. My great scheme of ordering books via the library and getting brand new stuff for 20p is working a treat, however because they are so popular you can't renew them as others gave booked them. Therefore must focus and finish. One is gigantic potboiler easy read- Ken Follett, Fall of Giants. Other is slimmer but requires more thought- Iain Banks, Transition. Both v good!

Woooohooo Looby thanks for revealing yourself, I need to be careful what I say about the lawyers though - I've got about 10 of them in my immediate family

Yangy I've ordered the gap jeans - they look amazing. I've been wanting grey jeans for ages and these look kind of charcoal to me. Ordered in the super small sizes so will probably be going back, but worth a shot.

Tracey Donna will look great on you - interested to hear that spanx not essential with it.

Esher Outfit sounds great last night. Stuff the people who judge I say! Shame about the roof leaks though!

Oh Vin please also kick your P in the shins from me, too. And curfew??? Are you serious?

evening everyone else!

zembo-I have a couple in my immediate family too and seem to know several others!

Are you medical or managerial (please don't answer if you don't feel comfortable)?

thanks bloss just seen your post

Yes vin sorry for butting in, but I'm not clear why you haven't got rid of P yet. Surely your and ds's quality of life would be much better? All the details, childcare, whatever can be worked out.

Hi Bunny - hope you're not too uncomfortable.

Vin Curfew indeed. You so need to get out of this situation.

Roma - I agree re shorts and heels - I posted on another thread about this the other day in fact. I wear these in evening and the Belstaff Lady Jenn's or short flat GAP bikers by day. I think the ash wedge is low enough but still gives a little height. Important for a shortarse like me!

Tracey - thanks so much for the offer but I am hopeful of getting time off to get to get to H&M myself tomorrow or Sunday.

Vin - I missed the curfew bit. But we're meeting from 1pm and it would be lovely to see you.

And just think I'm like an older, fatter version of kylie

EIE - how did you session go this week? Without wanting to pry - are you still in love with him or are you at the factoring how your life will be without him stage?

Hi hf, am counting down the days! Although I know have had a relatively breezy twin pregnancy. It's just that it's a much tougher pregnancy than the first one. Still, means I can retire from reproductive duties after this . Would jump up and down w excitement at the thought, but can barely get off the couch

Vin, you lovely girl, I don't think it will ever get easier to leave your P. Can only 2nd comments from Roma, as well as Cake. And also suggest a Chinese burn for P, too.

Sorry Vin - i have obviously missed something if I missed a ref to a curfew. Sorry, I don't want you to feel like we are all badgering you re P but....I am sooooo with the others on this.
Seriously, I mean seriously, this sort of thing does not sound good and you must out asap.

And a kick for Eie's DH, too. Sullen child that he sounds to be.

LOL at Bunny trying to get off the couch

hi all,

Red coat update - I called Zara customer services as well as shoving my rant letter in the post tonight. They seemed to imply that the fashionistas of the West End offices come first but did make an apology on behalf of the person who sold my "on hold" coat. No offer of anything Leopard to compensate!

I quickly bought this onewith a 20% Stylist voucher as I was on my way home tonight. DH and I have spent nearly an hour rofl laughing at the sleeve length on me. Just imagine Rupert the Bear with his little red jacket and his arms on show! Lovely in the window but not on me!

Bluewater Zara has one in my size on hold so I am up there first thing in the morning. I hope it is not a wasted journey and it fits! I am also going to trawl through Ebay again, just in case.....

I really like the Gap cream wide wool neck sweater. Gap has a 30% off VIP voucher for in store purchase only at the moment, ending on 14th November.

I am loving thisKate Bush I adore you dress

notyummy I am about to start Fall of Giants too.
I pre ordered from the library.
My fav Ken Follett is Eye of the Needle,but am a sucker for wartime adventure!

Oh EIE You know sometimes you have to just accept that you've tried as much as you can and that you actually deserve more.

Oh EIE .
You really do deserve so much more.

EIE Agree wholeheartedly.

Tracy I've always fancied this place for a bit of a nostalgia

eie so sorry to hear your H is being such a prat, you're so lovely it makes me that you don't have a happy relationship like you deserve, life is short, eh?

GOd I'm so hypocritical thank you for your comments. I really appreciate each and every one of them he called me today because I was 9 minutes late leaving the office. 9 minutes. He kept calling accusing me of having an affair! Pffft

I am aiming for the end of the year, I hope by then some things will have sorted themselves out and we can part amicably (pah as if)

yes I do have a curfew, it's about 6.30!

Great shoes!
