La Creperie - Home of the Hags!

[QueenLush]

Are you all nursing hangovers or just clearing up the post Christmas mess?

Hope you all had a lovely evening! Did MrsS show?
Mum okay, nasty cold and having trouble breathing - the joys of AgedPs. And my dad is hopeless!
Next time I promise!!!

Up and shredded!!!!

Had a lovely night, great to se you all again, but shouldn't eat for a week now (which could be difficult as we have a party to go to this afternoon....) No hangover - think the steak soaked it up!

Huffy, hope you have an interesting time next week - let me know how you got on! And well done for making the effort to trek in, it was worth it though, wan't it?!

Oh, BD, shame you couldn't make it, but glad to hear your mum is OK. Next time!

I have a hangover but it was worth it. Although you are all v glam and I was the oldest there

I was going to suggest some inter-course shuffling, ruby, but feared confusing the waiter. Your hair was uber-glam, btw. Are you a BBH devotee?

Got back home safely last night, but in a daydream forgot to open the train doors when I arrived at my station, and ended up having to wrestle them open as the beep sounded, much to the amusement of the beered-up Friday night crowd on the train.

It was indeed a fun evening, and I ate far too much, but what lovely food.

Now I'm trying to do my self-assessment tax return, and can't even get to the right bit on the website. This could take some time.

Herbs, I think your mistake was typing www.mumsnet.com

CV!

Off to quaff more wine now

Ooo, BTM, you little raver.

That was a good night, that was! Nice food, lovely company - and I thought that I was quite restrained in my wine consumption, but then I remembered talking drivel and quite possibly repeating myself and I did feel a bit crepier and wonkier than usual (not to mention about as glam as a pork scratching) when I had to get up for the train this morning. Am sure last night is the only time this year I will be seen out and about with full eye makeup on. Not entirely convinced that Duke's makeover lady did not make me look like a panda. However, their tinted moisturiser did work to make me look less mottled this morning.

Hope your mum is better soon, Blackduck, and sorry you couldn't join us last night. As BTM says: next time!

Dh shot out the door to his band practice as soon as I got back and I had to take ds and the dog for a run. A run rather than a walk because ds wanted to try out the scooter he got for his birthday yesterday. So I then felt a lot more feeble, but luckily dd and friend are currently baking industrial quantities of whoopie pies and I have so far snarfed 3 and am now feeling much better.

PS: Miss Selfridge skinny jeans. Try 'em.

Thank you Ruby :) That makes me feel better about having bought all the products.

I was wearing Miss Selfridge skinnies yesterday. I have 2 pairs now. They are fab. They sit just below the waist and are not muffiny and do not fall down. And seem to hold their shape v. well even after many washes - although I have not test-driven the dark ones yet in that respect as only bought them yesterday.

Your hair is lovely btw. As is BTM's. Am also hugely envious of MI's hair. I would love to be able to wear mine like that.

ooooh. sounds as though you had a lovely time . Would love to come next time but am worried about being intimidated by all the marvellous hair and glowing skin.....

psssst. how old are you MI? would I win the prize for crepiest if i came?

OldQueenie - you can come and sit with me, I have untidy hair and skin distinctly unglowing at the moment.

Lovely to see you all, hags. I have just got in. Oxford Street knackered me by 2.00 this afternoon and I crawled off to the posh bar/resto at St P (next to Champagne bar). Got truly appalling service, complained vociferously and didn't get charged for one of my glasses of Champagne or my oysters. I was sending MI seething little texts as the afternoon went on. Woman on her own is clearly invisible to waiters, yes, even if that woman is my size.

I bought new jeans today too (and new bras and knickers) but mine were from the Fat Shop. However, I did heed MI's advice to buy something one or two sizes smaller than usual, and they do, err, fit much better. (I have spent the last six months in a pair that actually work their way down to my knees and pull my pants with them, since my beloved Liz Claiborne jeans died.) They may well be regarded as "Mum Jeans" but I don't care.

I have been invited out tomorrow morning for breakfast at church, but am really knackered, so have declined the offer of Jesus and Kippers.

Ta for the kind offer MrsS, it's a date.
Tell me more of this Fat Shop of which you speak.... sounds like my kind of place....

I am returning Celtic sheepskin buy as looked fat and bloody awful in it...
Spent money on new bra and knickers in m&s
Have decided mrsS is a thin size 8 in reality and only t.hinks she is a size 14. All this talk of glamour and lovely hair is putting me off any future meet!!!

Huffy, you definitely did not look like a panda, and your lkin was glowing Are the Miss S jeans your usual size or smaller/bigger? (just in case I get tempted to try some on next time DD drags me in there)

BD and Queenie, you MUST come along to our next meet-up! When will that be???

I was very restrained on the wine and karaoke yesterday. Unlike some of my friends

lkin? skin, obvs!

Yes Huffy - I thought you looked luffly. Very glowy. And as if you'd lost weight. Naturally I didn't tell you these things at the time - didn't want it to go to your head.

Feeling the pressure ATM. By next Monday I have to:
fill in and return my self-assessment tax form. I don't even understand how to do it
Complete a grant application for my charity
Look after my dad for three days while my mum is in hospital having her shoulder replaced
Hope mum gets through the operation
Work two days
Get my hair cut
Buy DS new shoes
Have a meeting with the charity manager, and the treasurer.
Write and distribute a newsletter

Aww, thank you all for your kind comments. I am pleased with my glowy skin that comes out of a tube. So I second Dukes' recommendation of Pixi products. And looking as if I've lost weight you say Herbs? Ha, all the boxing has been worth it then. Or possibly the MissS jeans are EVEN better than I thought. BTM, I am usually a 12 and they are a 12.

Herbs, I hope you are taking some extra vitamins in preparation for the coming week. Wishing you plenty of energy for dealing with all the things on your to-do list and I do hope that all goes well with your mum's operation.

MrsS - at Jesus and kippers. Just as well to give them a miss, I should think.

I have my mother coming to tut at the state of the house for ds's belated birthday lunch. Which I haven't bought the ingredients for yet. Oops.

We are mid homework meltdown. I have had enough.
