Zembo ? by all the laws of fairness ? good luck is due very soon?.

MM ? I do so want to give you a big hug (I know that is not allowed on MN!) ? and I would hasten to add it?s not that I feel sorry for you?it?s that I understand that feeling and don?t want you to be going through it (does that makes? I so hated ?pity? as well)?glad to see you got your avid mojo back. Great links and great bargains. I would definitely get a pedicure and manicure?it will get you in the holiday mood.

Tracey ? what?s an htc phone (please excuse ignorance) and WOW to fab boots. And thank goodness for ?lost?found earring. And finally (!) I somehow missed all your posts about homework...and the solutions everyone came up with...please do tell me if you find what works. I'm desperate here too.

Reine ? glad it went o.k?and of course blubbing is par for the course!

Vin ? who is this woman saying ?I?ll be your worst nightmare??? I really don?t understand how she dare be so rude. What an earth did you say? I would have gone crazy (and I?m actually quite restrained)

Bloss ? great news! Well done.

Bouncing ?welcome! What?s your budget for skinnies? My most flattering pair ever are coh which LTEC recommended. But I keep hearing GAP ones are great too.

Welcome too to lackadaisy?.maxi dresses are fine if you get the right one?I think it?s been pointed out on the thread that one of the best maxi wearers is Nicole Richie and I think she is tiny!

ABO ? have lots of fun with your personal shopping. Someone doing all the running around while you sip tea and relax!

Not much on the W&A to report. I'm waiting for Plum's lace blouse to arrive. Will report back.

ItsNotUnusual · 01/02/2011 22:50

Yo all. I groaned with pleasure when I saw tracey's bekstaff boots and vin's red skirt. Love lacksidaisy's sunny stripey dress.

Glad the missing earring was found. I lost a not in the same league tiffany silver earring on a train once and my fabulous husband simply bought me a new pair. In his place I would have been hopping mad! I will instruct him to be on best behaviour in Cardiff on Friday in case blossoming posts about him!!! Good luck for the interview blossoming.

Have been very avid. Snagged some relatively bargainous hasbeens on eBay. Will be going on a 70s themed hen party at the end of march. So I'll need flares too :)

the vwa arrived and I'm still dithering about it. Will post more when more charged up. Ie iPhone :)

DTI10 · 01/02/2011 23:15

hi all,

I have scanned thread but really need to read it properly (again!).

Not sure who referenced the Blochs but I managed to purchase.

zembo - are you feeling better?

Traceyb - so glad you found your earring.

Where is everything or have I not scanned thread enough?

Goodnight.

monkeysmama · 02/02/2011 00:11

Hells I'll accept your hug with a smile and save it til I need it. Seriously, thank you. It's crap isn't it.

Vin can I come & meet this "I'm your worse nightmare" woman? I'd be more than happy to have a, ahem, quiet word. I'm in the mood for meting (spg?) out MM justice atm & am only a stroll away.

Night all.

OllieWollieWoo · 02/02/2011 07:37

Bloss - great re interview.
Fritzi - lovely that you got some shopping time in - more details of the dress please!
Plum - thanks for thinking of me re Blochs and yes the purple/pink ones, nice as they are, would just not fit in with my boring wardrobe . Will carry on scouting for grey ones.
Reine so glad DDs op went ok. My Dutch class starts in May and they have dropped it down to 2 mornings a week which is a bit of relief tbh!
Ooooh - agree that Belstffs are the far superior boot but if you want something now, I really liked the Jigsaw ones and what a good price. Could buy those now and then carry on looking for Belstaffs on offer?

I know we talked about this a little while ago but any suggestions for a cover/case for my new iphone????

Romanholiday · 02/02/2011 08:12

OWW knomo do nice things for Apple

NY I'm watching "The Killing" and it's brilliant . Did you know it has 20 episodes! I think you find out whodunnit in about ep 15 or something.

Btw, when's Mad Men 5 starting?

Zembo · 02/02/2011 08:34

On my way to hospital in ambulance. Collapsed in nursery car park chipped front tooth badly. I am an idiot for ignoring and minimising my symptoms. Will keep you all posted.

OllieWollieWoo · 02/02/2011 08:37

Oh Zembo - how awful for you. You will be in my thoughts today x

notyummy · 02/02/2011 08:39

Oh no Zembo! I really hope you get the care you need. Please look after yourself. Will be thinking of you.

Am in Nottingham today if I can be of help in any way. Just PM or FB me.

Bonsoir · 02/02/2011 08:45

Oh Zembo! Good luck and hope hospital takes good care of you!

Oh Zembo, lovely! You don't have to keep on being Wonder-Mum, you know. Let someone look after you now, okay?

redllamayellowllama · 02/02/2011 09:19

Oh Zembo, hope they take good care of you and make sure you give a full run-down of everything with no down-playing.

It hardly seems appropriate after that, but have found a good contender for a summer Janice here.

KILDARE4 · 02/02/2011 09:28

Zembo Please do allow others to take care of you and don't downgrade your symtoms,'hope that you're feeling better soon.

DH big time into extreme sports and is off to South America for the month today, don't know how I feel about it!Confused

notyummy · 02/02/2011 09:30

What is he planning to do Kildare?

AllBuggiedOut · 02/02/2011 09:30

Thinking of you zembo.

Off to Boden clearance sale now. Wish me luck!

roary · 02/02/2011 09:31

Zembo I have had a word with the universe and told it off - time to leave you alone!!! I hope you are ok.

PlumSykes · 02/02/2011 09:31

Oh God, ABO, hope you've got a big stick for poking people out of the way. I went to one once-never again.

Romanholiday · 02/02/2011 09:34

Gosh Zembo best wishes xxx
