Agree with Roma - Red - big necklace or big dangly earrings. You look v elegant.

Zembo · 14/01/2011 19:51

Red you look great, agree would add a bit of bling Smile Lovely zara bag by the way

Sooo cute re: baby Brady - well done.

Roman don't worry I eat lots too! You are so not a porker though! And Tracey you really don't need to diet.

hells hope you've recovered from the earlier poo trauma.

Vin how did your interview go? - sorry if you've gone over this already. Totally loving the Maxmara coat too - can't thank you enough Grin - great when (once in a while) I manage to buy something I truly love.

ApuskiDusky · 14/01/2011 19:57

Evening! Just got A down to sleep, so now need to catch up properly, but I have an interesting dilemma for you! I have just received an LinkedIn invitation from an old colleague; issue is, she has since retrained and is now a psychosexual therapist. It lists this on her summary, and would be visible to all on my network and my network's network. Should I accept?!

redllamayellowllama · 14/01/2011 20:00

Thanks ladies, have settled on silver Breil necklace. Have lovely evenings all.

FritziGreenEyes · 14/01/2011 20:02

Oh dear, no chance of escaping to Downton Abbey tonight as we watched the last episode last week. Having lovely glass of Prosecco Aperol while waiting for DH to come home.

ApuskiDusky · 14/01/2011 20:02

Oh, sorry red, can't open profiles at the mo - have a great night!

hellsbelles · 14/01/2011 20:06

Have fun Red - you look fab.

Thank you Zembo - poo is now gone Grin

Fritzi - would it be evil of me to say I'm just about to start Downton Abbey - boxed set arrived yesterday...I am a complete DA virgin...so I have high hopes

OllieWollieWoo · 14/01/2011 20:07

Red - think you will have already gone out but thought pic was lovely. Really like your hair. Hope you had a lovely evening - ages since I had a cocktail!

Clinks glasses of Prosecco with Fritzi.

carciofi · 14/01/2011 20:09

Redllamayellowllama, you look lovely, have a great time.

I love my food .

The Tods sound fabulous.

I have just ordered these Belstaffs. I hope the refund cheque/paypal payments comes through before the credit card bill.

carciofi · 14/01/2011 20:13

Apuski, I would probably accept the LinkedIn invitation.

Bloss, great about the job. Are you tempted to apply?

hellsbelles · 14/01/2011 20:18

apuski - I would accept (especially as my mother has that on her CV as well Grin)

AntPants1 · 14/01/2011 20:18

Am lying on my bed waiting for my bath to run...have just shredded. No point in being W&A if I look like a potato no...

AntPants1 · 14/01/2011 20:22

Red you look lovely. Enjoy

FritziGreenEyes · 14/01/2011 20:24

hells Enjoy! For me it was the perfect escapism while it lasted!

bloss Well done on job offer. Loved your outfit.

carciofi I have those Belstaffs in grey and love them! Great discount too!

apuski That is an interesting job title! I think I would accept linked-in invitation

Fleecy · 14/01/2011 20:25

Have been awol for a few days (although keeping up with messages) so excuse the mammoth post and feel free to search for your name and ignore the rest!

bloss jacket and scarf look fab.

madamme I really like those yellow skinnies for spring/summer.

Beautiful family looby but pickled I?m afraid I can?t see yours still although you did say you?d added me? I would love to see the fruits of your (DH?s) labour!

carciofi love your sofas.

mac elle mcpherson undies here too ? am wearing a set today that pre-date the DC and still look as good as new. We both mainly work from home and take turns working and looking after DC yet they still don?t go to bed until 8/8.30 most of the time.

oooh I like Ash high tops and have a flat black pair myself, love the colour of the ones you linked to but not keen on the wedges to be honest.

Had a lovely lunch in town with DD today followed by a wander round the shops. Bought a couple of bits for her and for DS in H&M and looked for plum?s scarf in M&S but couldn?t find it. Probably for the best as I shouldn?t be buying anything else this month!

ny I did laugh at your comments on the working mums balance thing. I must admit, while reading the article I did think if the spreadsheet lady didn?t spend so long arranging and just got on with things, she?d probably have a lot more time!

I actually rather like Gwyneth ? think she prob gets bad press and is much more fun than she?s made out to be.

hells I used to have bio-sculpture but got bored with going every 2/3 weeks and gave up! Am not that dedicated to grooming Grin

Well done to your DS marsha, how cute!

I think I might want some ballet flats with ties around the ankle too...

roma I am a total glutton. I don?t do New Year?s resolutions as a rule but have resolved to eat what I like this year and stop worrying about it. I do a fair bit of exercise and never go over a size 10 so have decided just to let it be and enjoy myself!

Lovely dress red, you probably won?t read this ?til tomorrow so hope you had a fab night.

carciofi · 14/01/2011 20:26

Fritzi, lovely dress. I deleted my FB account a year ago but I am still on LinkedIn (though haven't worked since DD was born so it is all out of date).

carciofi · 14/01/2011 20:29

Hi Fleecy, are you feeling better?

notyummy · 14/01/2011 20:29

Have just had chicken breasts with basil and tomato sauce, accompanied by broc and carrots. Was impeccably healthy until I grated cheese on top Grin. Am now contemplating chocolate for pudding!

Watching The Human Planet - amazing.

reallygrumpy · 14/01/2011 20:33

marsha and notyummy thanks so much for all you efforts to organise the MOAMU, I don't mind where we go but PAYG sounds good.

I'm so impressed with all the shredding and dukaning on this thread, thanks to my current dr imposed exercise ban I'm rapidly turning into a giant blob...

hells dog poo story sounded vile, it reminded me of a time when I was getting DD weighed and the baby boy on the next mat did a perfect arc of wee landing on my foot. His mother thought it was hilarious but I was less than amused as I squelched home. Oh, and my DB who's 31 had 'tummy ache' as a child too.

carciofi meant to post this days ago but I had DD at QC and was able to get a private room, sadly you get the same minging food but at least it's a bit more private and you have an en suite. Love the belstaffs.

OooohWhatIfItHurts · 14/01/2011 20:34

Roary here it is. LOL at The Pants Dress Grin. It was beautiful in every other way .

carciofi · 14/01/2011 20:35

Reallygrumpy, I felt like a total airhead trying to book a private room in advance! Grin Hopefully there will be a room available on the day.

OooohWhatIfItHurts · 14/01/2011 20:36

And I should add in case you are tempted that it was short on me - and I am 5ft 1 and a bit!

FritziGreenEyes · 14/01/2011 20:36

notyummy Dinner sounds yummy!

Hi fleecy!

marsha So adorable when they start to walk! Well done mini-brady!

cake Applaud your buying bread! Don't throw out the rest. Slice it and freeze it for next bread experiment!

MarshaBrady · 14/01/2011 20:39

Thanks folks! He is 13 months (so not early like Macmama's dd!) but was delighted with himself, which was really lovely.

Some great feedback from Choo on loads of bars. Thanks Choo!

FritziGreenEyes · 14/01/2011 20:45

reallygrumpy Are you saying there are hospital without en-suites Shock
