Oh am full of cold. My eyes are waterering continuously. Am languidly lying on the sofa feeling sorry for myself!

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 19:21

Ants thats a great scarf, think Breton of Sanuk got it last week as well???

Bloss. Am trying to finish a glass of wine but its not going down well :(
Amber yes DSs are bilingual. DH talks Dutch to them and I speak English. They go to a Dutch school. DS1s English is very good as he grew up here surrounded by English expat friends but DS2 less so. He does that cute thing of speaking English using Dutch sentence construction and with a Dutch accent. They are always correcting my Dutch tho.....

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 19:24

Ants Im joining you on the sofa. Toothache is grim. DH just commented that I wasnt my best today. Thats his way of saying grumpy!

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 19:25

Sorry that should have read AT my best today!

MidnightinMoscow · 18/02/2012 19:25

Quick post from me.

Blue, beautiful name and so happy for you.

Ants glad to hear your sister is ok. Remind her to keep taking it easy though!!

Please don't send labour vibes this way!! I now have the bloody flu. Had. Temp for over 24 hours now of 39, haven't left the bed all day. DH has been a star and entertained DS all day. Feeling hot, cold and shivery. Think my immune system is kaput!!

Any ideas what I can do/take/inhale or even inject!! To build me up again??

Sorry for me me post.

Ollie, sorry you are sore and swollen.

That is a nice scarf ants. I made a mistake with my last l&l scarf and the colour wasnt' right for me, so would need to see irl. Lots of poorly a&w'ers right now. Green and blacks and red wine on prescriptin right round!
I am feeling very virtuous, have ironed and cleaned the bathrooms and toilets since coming home, and have put on 2 loads of washing. Not many underpants for DS. When I questioned him, he said, I changed them once. On Wednesday Blush Blush

blossoming · 18/02/2012 19:29

And mim now too! Bed with kindle and lots of lovely sleep!

I forgot to say, MFP app gave me a whopping 809 cals for my 90 mins of mountain biking! About to inhale them in lovely wine and snacks.

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/02/2012 19:31

Well cuts down on washing Bloss Wink

Took eldest DS to my hairdressers today after he had disastrous mullet at the barbers last time - hair much shorter and I bought him some styling wax - well you'd think he was in One Direction - so funny.

Gosh - I am loving my bright skinnies at the moment with pale grey cashmere jumper - think I need another grey jumper though . . .

Annie - DD has breton dresses and they are sooo sweet on her - they just don't work on me but I've gone off stripes on me as have overdosed on them a bit.

Has anyone seen the pale pink M&S dress that's got loads of press recently - drop-waisted and very Victoria by VB style - just wondering when it'll be in store. Although of course it will be ghastly in reality I'm sure

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 19:32

Oh yes blue what a gorgeous name choice. I said ahhh out loud when I read it.

Bloss very, very, very Smile about DSs pants!

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 19:38

MiM oh no, poor you. Hope its a 24 hours thing. You deserve the most easiest of labours and newborns after this roller coaster pregnancy. As they say, this (pregnancy) too shall pass x

blossoming · 18/02/2012 19:42

I should be checking every day shouldn't I?

pickledsiblings · 18/02/2012 19:56

Snap MrsCB, grey for me too with the blue bonnets and I need another grey jumper too - fancy a long at the back/short at the front one.

Ollie, MiM and Ants, hope you all have a decent nights sleep and feel better tomorrow.

Blue, gorgeous name Smile.

Where's the lovely Marsha these days?

Bloss, isn't there a Sweaty Betty for Blokes?

pickledsiblings · 18/02/2012 19:57

Bloss, somethin's gotta give Grin.

Hopefully · 18/02/2012 20:03

Just swinging by quickly to say:

Blue gorgeous gorgeous name, glad you're enjoying the snuggles!

Sorry to all the poorly A&Wers, look after yourselves, feel better soon.

Wonderful make up session at HoC, v interesting, business conversation too, now enjoying endless chatter with my friend.

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/02/2012 20:14

Picked - the tippi on j crew is nice - WIT mentioned it I think . . .

God - I am so over winter.

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 20:23

Maybe the the wrong shape and a bit plain but I love my Boden grey jumper (when it comes in the right size).

Think Zara has a couple in. Will go look.

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 20:26

pickledsiblings · 18/02/2012 20:27

I have this grey one from Gap which is lovely, v. lightweight and even more lovely in the blue. In fact, I may have to get it in the navy.

MidnightinMoscow · 18/02/2012 20:38

Me too MrsCB.

In a fit of fever, I just ordered this. Good price for 100% silk.

blossoming · 18/02/2012 20:45

Oh that is nice mim.
D'you know, I missed a link to the blue bonnets. Can someone link again?

OllieinOrange · 18/02/2012 20:46

Thats a nice blouse MiM. What will you wear with it? Am struggling to find bottoms to go with my navy Mango heart blouse. It looked nice with the NL beige chinos but they are so 2010!!!! Was thinking of changing it for the cream one.

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/02/2012 20:51

Oh that's lovely MIM! Hope you feel better soon. I felt dreadful all through my 3rd pregnancy - was so much better after she was born as had minimal sleep deprivation due to co-sleeping.

One of my friends is having a dreadful pregnancy - hospitalised since 21 weeks and will be in till the end - just awful as she has children already.

MrsCampbellBlack · 18/02/2012 20:52

Would it work with white skinnies Ollie - your boden ones perhaps?

pickledsiblings · 18/02/2012 21:00

Blue bonnetts

Emo76 · 18/02/2012 21:27

mrscb I know the dress you mean, I thought that re VB too. not on the website yet. this top shop one reminds me of her dresses too

olly sending you lots of get well vibes - and the same for ants and mim and any others suffering.

bloss think it's fab that you and DH have a hobby to enjoy together.

amber I saw those zara beige flats with pink and silver beads in RL today - I really like them, tempted to order as of course my size wasn't in stock.

I think these Massimo Dutti heels are rather pretty and look much more expensive than they are.

Anyone gone for neon coloured jeans yet -saw a v promising pair of skinnnies in a slighly faded neon pink in a shop window - when I went back to try the shop had closed down - a sign?!

Big wave to everyone and hope you're all having good evenings (quiet night in here!)
