Time for a new thread.....

Woo-hoo wan!

Boo hoo red!

Evening All

Amber and Wan, congratulations.

Red, I can't believe your mother. Just make sure you stay out extra late. Outfit sounds lovely.

Bloss, pity about the bird dress (or not). Perhaps just as well the fit was not perfect as the colour wasn't right.

Fritzi, it's so lovely when they are excited and can go off to school without you. DS2 finished at his lovely nursery today. His teacher gave him a huge hug and he hugged all his friends goodbye. V. tearful. Sorry your boss is being a pain, roll on quitting day.

PORTIA, glad to see DD doing you proud .

Congratulations Amber. What a lovely name-hope you're getting on well.

Grr red. How annoying. Hope she's turned up by now.

Fritzi- not surprised you were emotional- they look so small and yet so grown up in uniform.

Pickled- is your ds2 going to the same school as your others?
Wan- congratulations! And if you're sharing I may as well do as well- I am 7 weeks now

MrsJuan, fantastic, congratulations to you!
Ollie, forgot to say, hope you have a great holiday.
Fritzi, I just got the form to order DD's uniform. She is going to look so grown up.

Many congratulations. What a fertile thread....

Wohoo mrsj that's great!!!

MrsJ, WAN wow!. Congratulations!!!

mrsj Have you been looking for Ash trainers in grey?

wow congrats to Mrsj and WAN!

Will think about dress - coggles have summer version marked down which is less to my taste here

mrsjuan, congratulations! I had my suspicions..!!

That dress is nice too Florence. Fine all year with a cardigan!

Yes MrsJ, I wondered when you were going to come clean. Massive congrats to you and your DH. DD will be so delighted when the time comes. Look after yourself.

You too WAN. Is DH's back problem getting sorted?

Yes MrsJ,the 2 boys will be at the same school in September which will mean that I will have lots of free time to work on project 'X' and play tennis and have DC free coffees and lunches .

That's the spirit Pickled!

Finally am out of here for party, Bit late but I'll pretend am in Europe or something

Oh what lovely news amber, wan and mrsJ Congratulations to you all.

Amber - such lovely news and a gorgeous and very stylish name!

WAN & MrsJ - Hooray!! Super happy for you both

s 'all round!!

Blimey, i go away for 2 days and 1 of you has a baby and 2 of you get pregnant! Big congratulations amber and lovely, lovely news WAN and mrsjuan.
On motorway, only 5 more hours to go! Had good run down yesterday, boys v good helped by lots of snacks and a new tom and jerry dvd! No W&A news as french service stations not known for style spotting!

I am so excited about the W&A baby boom - congrats WAN and MrsJ! THINK OF THE SHOPPING OPPORTUNITIES THIS PRESENTS!

Hi ollie! Almost there. How's the weather?

Ollie -burning question of the day - do they still have those funny hole in the ground toilets in the french service stations? I remember being fascinated by them when I was younger. Hope the rest of the journey goes well & you have a wonderful holiday.

Thank you for all the congratulations. Am excited but terrified

Oh wow MrsJ. Huge, huge congratulations to you too.

Mum turned up eventually in a black cab looking very harangued after a day at the passport office. There's always a drama to explain her tardiness. Had a lovely evening - our friends spoilt us with a going away dinner; champagne, crab and avocado tian, rack of lamb with pea pancakes and potatoes, chocolate mousse and a cheese board. I fell asleep on their sofa' rather embarrassingly.

Ollie hope the rest of the journey is as good.

Florence I prefer this season's version too.

red at you falling asleep. What a fab meal. I am intrigued by the pea pancakes.

Marsha, how was the party? What did you wear? LOL at you being fashionably late.

Ollie, how have you managed without your DM fix?

Pea panckaes sound delicious!

Outnet order came yesterday and, as I suspected, this is perfect but the 40 is too small and they didn't have any larger sizes, and this is too big. Such a shame about the See by Chloe. I love it.

Off to collect my new bike today, then might spend the afternoon tidyng the garage so I have somewhere to keep it. Oh the glamour...

ps - thank you for that link fritzi but wanted leather ones really [fussy].

Red - that sounds delicious. Glad your mum got there in the end.

SIL has just taken DD out for the day so I'm going sandal shopping.

Morning.

MrsJ fantastic news, congratulations!! Lovely to have someone going through it at the same time.

ollie nearly there, glad the trip has been good so for you all.

red your outfit sounded lovely for last night, I love that dress. Which colour do you have it in?

pickled DH is on the mend, although I think he is over doing it a bit. Bit since I hurt my back he has had to help a bit more.

ABO shame about the outnet stuff. Have a fun afternoon organising.

We are off to a fun day at DS's nursery today. Wearing houli's, grey t shirt and White blazer. Miami vice style.

Enjoy your sandal shopping at leisure MrsJ.

WAN lovely sounding outfit, hope you all enjoy the fun day - I love going along to things at DS' nursery. Is this last season dress rather than the current one. But I do very much like the look of the turquoise bow one.

They were lovely pickled - almost like a potato cake in consistency. Yum.

Shame about the dresses ABO, they're lovely. Hope you enjoy your new bike.

Off to Bluewater this afternoon for emergency wedding shoe shopping. Am toying with some L K Bennett courts a la K-Mid as I want to be able to wear them again - I have too many pairs of shoes that i've worn once and never again.
