We Wise ladies Avidly are buying gifts that traverse afar...l

[bunnymother]

Oh my God, I choked (try and hum along to We Three Kings...)!! But here is the new thread.

MM can you make me a post office too,pretty please..I have 7! parcels to return tomorrow and can tell that the guy who runs our local P.O does not approve of my shopping habit

the red dress is the reubens dress from hobbs..sorry I am a notoriously terrible linker. yangy had bought it on ebay but wanted to sell it on and I snapped it up.

carciofi we are chocolate fiends in this house so we traditionally do brownies and chocolate pecan pie for Thanksgiving desert.Lush.Love the Oushka by the way.

Everything how frustrating to not feel 'heard',so sorry.

OWW the thing that always sticks in my mind about your life in Holland is the day you walked in the Mil,i'm still traumatised

I remember that too OWW. Didn't get too far with the PO Reine - got waylaid by the football . I have loads to return tomorrow too and as I can't drive I have to do a wonderful balancing on pram act all the way to the PO where I too get angry comments from Mr Postman.

Have been to governors meeting where I slowly lost the will to live.

Good luck for tomorrow bunny.

Good luck for tomorrow Bunny.

bloss there's such a lot of stuff to cover at those meetings, isn't there. I usually come out hyped up by the super duper efficiency of ours: in at 6.00pm out at 7.30pm - 500 policy documents later! There is no way I'd be a Head.

So, the bunny babies are to be born exactly one month before Christmas and on Thanksgiving. Such a lot to be thankful for. Good luck indeed bunny.

Right, have ordered Topshop coated skinnies for my sister for her birthday. I hope she likes them. She is getting silver Hunters from dd who is obsessed with wellies and cannot believe her favourite person doesn't have any for jumping in muddy puddles.

It was freezing here today and my ears almost dropped off in the park. I had some great Muji earwarmers last year that went around the back of my head but lost them at Eurodisney

bunny how annoying! I snuck off to the loo at work today with my iPhone to see if there was any news of the babybunnies. I hope all goes well tomorrow.

zembo I'm glad your day was ok, your outfit sounds lovely. Take care of yourself.

cake loved the lally story, you're so imaginative and fun. Can you remind me of the email address for meet up? I can't find it.

carciofi lovely boots and roary get better soon and I'm v tempted by your new coat.

Thanks to all the shredding and dukaning all my work trousers and skirts are too big so I'm going to have to go shopping. I'm thinking of getting this or this votes please!

I've also realised that Dec is super-busy for us and I need outfits for: 4 children's birthday parties, 1 theatre trip, 40th birthday drinks, 2 family lunches, 2 dinners and Xmas day. I'm going to have a big trying on session but think that a new dress may be called for.

Sounds hard Yangy .

hi all

am just home from an evening out with an old boyfriend I adored an old friend and am possibly a little high on champagne and memories.

so forgive me

(btw wearing stripe Janice over black opaques, belstaffs and M&S thermal cami)

yes OWW, totally remember the MiL moment, also MM's post wedding Mil moment omg the thought! you ladies are beyond dignified. I die at the thought.

re the good parenting comments - you lot are really sweet but it's not rue. I am crap at many aspects of parenting (patience = zilch) but am dramatic, OTT, passionate and given to hyperbole in RL (my friends love me - not) which lends itself well to kiddie fantasy. I am acutely aware that by having 3 dc in 3 years I have put huge pressures on my dc and on my family (cross, shouty mother anyone?) and am constantly trying to atone by yes, giving them fairytales to dull the reality of the reality, as it were

Zembo your outfit today sounds beautiful. Take good care. No loss on the boots.

big love to all x

meet up attendees!!! please email [email protected]

include screen name, real name and the station you will be coming into/ departing from pls x

Oh Yangy you sound mega stressed . I can relate to a lot of what you're saying although I only work part-time. You're going through a period of huge change at the moment, it hasn't been very long since you went back to work has it? I've been back for 11 months and it's only recently started to feel like I'm back on top of things on the work front. As for home life, well I still find fitting everything in REALLY hard and agree the difference between one and two children feels huge. I realise none of this is helping you but just wanted to tell you that you're not alone in feeling frazzled. You sound like a wonderful mum to me. Haven't got time to say much more now but I'm worried about you. Sounds like life is making you unwell and something needs to give. Sending you bigs ((((hugs)))).

Bunny can't wait! Wishing you many magical moments today.

Thanks for shoe comments
