AVIDly hitting the sales. Let our buys be WISE!

[blossoming]

New thread here!

Couldn't resist it, DH is up (no pun intended ).

Oh, and in the spirit if WIT, I have a wedding day picture on too.

WAN we have exactly the same problem. I ordered the stone and they are a gorgeous colour - perfect. I can see them in stock a couple of places in a 5 at full price. Hhhm, can't decided whether to return and re-buy at full price or not.

Portia have added you, WAN can you add me?

Thanks wan - me and ballet pumps don't usually get on (lots of discarded cheap pair which I find really uncomfortable and always gape round the edges). The only ones I can wear are the black Bloch patent ones plum sourced for me in TK Maxx forever ago! May I see your photos please?

And this is the dress roary.

wan and bloss I suspect you are right, I'm just mindful that whenever I pay full price for anything the retailer seems to take that as their cue to heavily reduce it! Will just have to bite the bullet - am thinking of taking a toddle down Kings Road tomorrow before going to visit my parents who live locally so will see what I find! I have a pair of Blochs but find I don't get on with them, not tried FS or PB though!

Trying to make the most of this bit of liberated shopping time before any trip needs military planning and is punctuated with umpteen trips to parent and baby rooms....

Have added you ABO and Red.

Red, I understand the dilemma.

Just been into town, Zara sale looks to start tomorrow...

Thanks for sharing your photos. pickled am loving your DS's hair!

Will try and post pic of DH later. Must get ready for school run now...

ABO that's definitely charcoal. Looks totally different from mine. :(

no wonder these are on sale

roary what a gorgeous family you are! pickled that is a lovely photo of your DH and son! awww I feel quite un-MN warm and fuzzy at seeing such lovely happy people!

Thanks roary. My hunt will continue...

Those chiffon trousers remind me of a Kenzo lace/crochet pair had probably 15 years ago (in fact, still have!) They did look sensational with a just-covering-the-bum top

I've added you abo. Sorry it took so long.
Wow, there are some bloody gorgeous men around today! Not that I should be surprised of course!

Loving all the DHs!! Mine would be mortified but his pic has been on my profile for ages.

AH Coburn arrived and I'm really pleased. Still no boots as the person that they sent them to by accident, still hasn't returned them [cross] - it's not even like they were reduced but I can't find the black elsewhere. God I'm impatient but I need them, especially as autumn seems to have arrived....

Wowzers to the trousers Roary.

Petit can you add me please?

DH has arranged for next door's daughter to babysit and is taking me to a lovely Turkish restaurant. What could he want?!

Added you red.

Am feeling smug as I made fishcakes with my girlies this afternoon and they have just eaten loads. They have nice full tummies and are watching TV so I am Mumsnetting

Pic of DH added. Am sure my mates list is very out-of-date so let me know if you can't see it. petit may I see yours please?

Added you ABO - does lack of capital letters matter?? I didn't put any in your name so let me know if you can't see.

pickled, I have no idea what you were referring to earlier! Please enlighten me! I have been sent a list of possible questions eg, how to get boys interested in languages.

So I have googled the answers .

Bloss, I'm sure Pickled is more up to speed, but AfL is assessment for learning and APP is assessing pupil progress; formative assessment and ongoing assessment basically. Good luck for tomorrow.

Can anyone help with an unusual request from DH; he has organised a cross-curricular Blitz Week at school and is in need of a WW2 RAF uniform. Any ideas??

wan, just popping in to say have just ordered a pair of size 4 jalouse boots from coggles.................Thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Thanks red.
My head is spinning. But Dh comes home for a night tonight before off again tomorrow.

Meant to say notyummy, good you can make the 29th. Anyone else want to pm me? We can arrange where to meet, hopefully some of the lovely London ladies will have some suggestions.

What price did you get them for cardoon? I could only see 8's in stock on there. What colour did you go for?

red Do you think the Jalouse are worth full price?

eh.....could I just make a big apology to you red, have just been looking back over the thread and the coggles credit goes to you I think!
