AVIDly hitting the sales. Let our buys be WISE!

[blossoming]

New thread here!

All this ASH talk is v infectious! I'm jealous of the Jalouse (ha ha - did you see what I did there?!) Do you know they retail over here for over 200 euros - makes yours a bargain WAN?! I would love to see a pic of someone with them on - do they only look ok with skinny jeans or would straight be ok too?

Bloss Good luck for later - will send positive vibes your way but sounds like you know your stuff so it will be a breeze.

Ambernjl Hope you had a nice waddle potter on the KR. Wonder if you would get any freebies if you went into labour in Zara? I'm sure I read if your waters break in Tescos you get your shopping paid for! Worth loitering I say!
Fritzi get you with your washing machine mending! Good example to use on your CV under multi-tasking! I cant see your pics anymore - think I am down on your mates list under old name?
Pickled I bet you and your Agnes' wowed whoever it is shortlisting, fingers crossed for you.

All your comments about DH are really making me giggle - he certainly did not look like George C at 6.30 this morning!!! The pic I posted is the best one ever taken of him - better than our wedding pics (am now wondering if photoshop was involved???). I have to say I think we have a lovely collection of Mr W&A's! (Marsha yesh DH is Dutch sow talks a beet like thisch )

MrsJuan thats a brilliant family pic - how cute is DH, dog, DD!

Right, back on train! Resisted the impulse to stalk the corridors of power at the Treasury barking 'raise the interest rates AND the taxes' into my phone like a strange mixture of Joan Holloway and Gordon Brown. Hopefully I looked slightly more like the first though

Bloss- hope it went well today.

Loving the pics of DHs! Dh would kill me if I did!

Bedtime at 7 45 round here. I don't see her in the morning at all 3/4 days a week, so I find 7 45 gives me a bit of time in the evening with get. She is always ready for bed by then as well.

Anyone following Wimbledon? Must admit to shameful lusting after random (mainly Spanish) young tennis players.

Phew, dd has pooed and wee'd, so I feel I can stop hovering for a change! She is playing with ds. Poor ds is all I can say!

pickled, I am the only candidate. I need to convince them that there is no need to look elsewhere, that I would be the best candidate in a 100. It is so competitive out there right now I feel. I have to show them that I'm not out of touch. Tonight it's with the new Head, who doesn't know me at all, and governors who I don't know either, although they will know my family. My father is a former headteacher there.
All in all I could do without a) dh being absent b) potty training and c) AF.

Thanks for your good wishes, I'll be back later with all the news. They should let me know tonight.

Ollie your dh's goodlookingness did make me giggle. But now am in a bad mood as the blinking gas man is still not here to fix the machine. THAT IS ALL DAY. whoops shouting. but really!!

I got it! Permanent contract!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

AMAZING - well done! Hope you have broken out the bubbly

BLOSS! well done!!

Well KR was mixed bag. Came away from Zara sale empty handed, nothing took my fancy. Same for Peter Jones, though was rather hoping my waters would break in there Ollie as apparently you get a hamper...

Popped into Maje to find the scarf I bought on Tues had been further reduced. Grrr.

However, triumph of the day was find grey Jalouse in my size in the Ash store for £73!

Also pleased to see both my Equipment shirt and Agnes in Trilogy for more than I paid.

bloss congrats on your job, and I know what you mean, was induced with DS and my long walk has done precisely nothing!

Carciofi I'm a Wimbledon girl - are you SW Lon too? Good luck on KR - Ash sold out of Jalouse in 38 & 39 FYI

Fritzi Yes, DH back so free to go into labour at any time, which probably means another 3 weeks, sigh!

Yay bloss! Cheers

bloss Fantastic news!!!! Well done, you!

ollie Have added you under new name now .

WOOHOO! Well bloody done Bloss. Glass Bottle of bubbly and a weekend trip to Russell & Bromley?

Well done bloss!

Brilliant news Bloss! Good for you.

Congrats Bloss... very well deserved !

Abernj - pain waiting for these overdue babies...all my 3 were 5,6 and 9 days overdue respectively...in the end I trudged around The Mall at Cribbs and kickstarted labour the following morning so fingers crossed for you !

dh has arranged for us to go away for our wedding anniversary in a couple of weekends...so very happy. He's organised it with my Mother. Ahhhh...

Sounds like you had a nice day amber, never mind to the waters no breaking in PJ though.

Great buy on the Jalouse's - please tell me you are not a 37 though!!

Fritzi thank you so much for linking to your NAP purchases. The Vince jumper arrived and it is gorgeous; so soft and it drapes beautifully. A real staple.

Have just done some heavy listing on ebay; need to recoup all of these purchases somehow.

My style is obviously set now though, as when I came downstairs in the Jalouse last night, DH was all "I remember those shoes, great that you're still wearing them". I didn't disabuse him of the notion.

Thanks everyone! I am drinking a glass of red wine with dinner. On my own. Dh away. He has said he will take me wherever I want this weekend. The Grosvenor in Chester? Opposite R&B red!

I like your style red.

Hooray for you Bloss! Very well deserved. Enjoy your celebrations!
