Lots of 'Blossoming's but none on it's own. Blossoming Tree, Blossoming Love etc,

MarshaBrady · 06/05/2011 18:40

ha Bloss don't be, sounds fab!

I just tried but totally bolloxed it by putting real email and mn name and fb suggested loads of rl friends. freaked at possible merging of mn and real names. deactivated (hopefully!!)

will do it later with new mn email

OllieWollieWoo · 06/05/2011 18:42

Bloss - I will PM with my FB details - add me as a friend and then all the other W&A's will be able to request you!

vinestein · 06/05/2011 18:46

Hello stylish ones

notyummy · 06/05/2011 18:55

Ha ha - have found you Bloss!

OWW - Thanks for the dress suggestion - I have that as possibility with jacket and courts.

I also have a P8 dress I bought a few months ago but have never worn Blush - again with heels and a jacket.

Or I have new stripey blose with navy trouser or skirt suit.

Hmm.

Fleecy · 06/05/2011 19:07

Gosh bloss bowling always a total arse to dress for. Good luck! Scampi and chips part much easier!

Am going out for dinner with friends this evening but haven't changed - am going in today's outfit of black cropped harems (pulled up over bump so as not to look nappy-ish), link and orange layered vests (shameless Top Shop rip off), L&L scarf in sunset colours and tan bag and thong sandals. dolce will approve of my matchy accessories being of a similar persuasion.

I will look for you on FB later bloss. And then hopefully marsha and fritzi then!

Glad you had fun reine - saw your FB pic online - you look incredibly youthful and gorgeous Smile

Fleecy · 06/05/2011 19:08

Bad line break there - I reiterate thong sandals, not underwear...

redllamayellowllama · 06/05/2011 19:24

Reine - how bizarre re. bfing! How could someone's logic take them there? Hope you come to a conclusion about the cake. My favourite ever chocolate recipe is Nigella's Chocolate Orange cake which keeps moist forever and is yummy.

Vin well done on the Shredding. How did you find it?!

Bloss have requested you as a friend on FB

Emo76 · 06/05/2011 19:25

hello hello. I recall on the previous A&W thread there was discussion of fantasy weekend in Miami - well I am actually going on one (though with work colleagues which is a bit of a shame!) and have posted separately as am having a bit of a clothes panic. It is next weekend! Only had three weeks notice but fortunately my wonderful DH is happy to look after the girls and thinks I should go as I will regret it if I don't. Thankfully I will not be the only woman there (there will be three out of about forty people) too late to start shredding methinks...!

dolceebanana · 06/05/2011 19:44

Ooh Bloss - can't find you lovie. Notyummy you are tres clever finding it!!!!! Bloss - pm me please!!! Hate to feel left out.

Fleecy - sounds lovely....dolcee definitely approves!!!

Marsha - you will have to pm us your name etc.

Vin - how goes it! Sounds very gruelling. Well done though.

Oh lordy - as our own Mrs cb would say...have had v tiring and trying bed routine with stroppy over-tired 4 and 3 year olds...who have take to copying each other word for word, as in echoing each other.....aggghhhhhhhhhhhhh....little munchkins - dh has been away for a few nights - back later tonight. Well, hopefully. He rang after they'd had a bollocking stern telling off, so screaming and crying all round. I've already opened the rose and shall have drunk the lot tout seul if he's not back soon........cheeuurs

dolceebanana · 06/05/2011 19:47

Emo - sounds fabbo! Lucky you....I think you need effortless dresses. Lots of 'em...Will you be braving beachwear? Come on we need more of a brief....

MarshaBrady · 06/05/2011 19:50

Emo fabulous! How wonderful

Am so excited about crossing the non-fb fb divide Grin

Will do this weekend

notyummy · 06/05/2011 20:14

Am very jealous Emo - have posted on your thread!

DH out in Rome tonight living the Dolce Vita whilst I am here in Lincs. Not quite the same. Harrumph.

carciofi · 06/05/2011 20:27

I think I am the only person not on Facebook, may have to set up there as Carciofi!

Fleecy and Bloss, have a good time!

Plum, enjoy Florence. I have happy memories of the Prada outlet there. :)

NY, glad your personal shopping session was a success.

Emo, the weekend in Miami sounds great. Lots of dresses, for sure.

Reine, welcome home.

Dolcee I like the shoes from the front. Worth a try.

Red, good luck with the eBay listings. I found a few things to sell too so fingers crossed.

DD had her first day back at preschool today so I made a quick celebratory, trip to Westfield. House of Fraser were doing 20% off for cardholders so bought this Nicole by Nicole Farhi stripey top, Whistles stripey vest and Whistles navy top. My Seraphine/Isabella Oliver days are numbered, yay! I also ordered these pink Superga pumps, hope they aren't too toddler-ish. My-Wardrobe have 30% off certain items with the code festival30.

Re-ordered the Wrap red stripey t-shirt and it arrived with 3 holes in it. I see what you mean about the flappy sleeves, Bloss, I wouldn't keep it even if it had arrived in good condition.

notyummy · 06/05/2011 20:28

Ps- have just sent a friend request to 2 of you on FB based in mutual friends! I know who one is because we have met....but if I am honest I am not absolutely certain which of you the other one is!!

If you are LA and get a request from a MBL then it's me!

MrsCampbellBlack · 06/05/2011 20:30

Jack Wills jacket arrived and is fab - it fills the gap there's been in my wardrobe since I failed to buy the kate moss for tosho one years ago and is nicer methinks as liberty fabric.

DH now away for a week on mountain biking holiday in Spain so I am drinking prosecco and watching TOWIE - classy me Wink

Emo Envy

MrsCampbellBlack · 06/05/2011 20:31

Oh and is anyone watching Spiral - its the final episode tomorrow - very excited.

notyummy · 06/05/2011 20:32

I love Spiral!! Pierre the barrister is particularly easy on the eye, no?

redllamayellowllama · 06/05/2011 20:35

I'm LA, NY.

Carciofi the Navy Whistles top is particularly lovely; I am a bit in love with Whistles, everything I've bought there has lasted and lasted and I always want to buy the place out.

DH has been raving about Spiral and I've not listened. Damn me!

MrsCampbellBlack · 06/05/2011 20:37

Pierre is lovely but my ahem favourite is Bremont - have just got the first 2 series on dvd as haven't seen them but will wait until DH is back to watch them.

dolceebanana · 06/05/2011 20:38

Oh, I am totally addicted to Spiral....Laure's squeeze, Benodet? Is surpsrisingly sexy. Agree Pierre is easy on the eye too. I just love, love, love it.......honestly.

notyummy · 06/05/2011 20:39

Ah, I see- the bit of rough bad boy thing does it for you Mrscb? Grin
