Have a fabulous MU ladies and enjoy the shopping too. Look forward to hearing all the stories.

Good luck with the Alexa shopping Ollie I am loving mine but that said 4 years ago I splashed out on a Bulgari watch when I was on business in HK and I still love it and wear it literally every day....none oft handbags has ever lasted that long!!

Having a good weekend with parents although have sore throat and DS has conjunctivitis which is making him grumpy. They are being very supportive of imminent separation from DP and I just feel so much better having talked to them

Finally good luck mim - a mothers day baby would be so sweet.

Think bravissimo have become victims of their own success - 10 mins and counting waiting for them to bring a different bra size.

No leather jacket joy after trying the shortlist in Massimo Dutti and Gap. Hope something leaps out at me on Oxford st! Some weird demo outside Topshop - lots of people in white masks, quite freaky.

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2012 14:09

Ha I've just left Oxford St Hopefully

The Raoul, MJ and Carven were all wrong for me, Iro not there.

So bought small Celine in orange. Love it!

AmberNectarine · 17/03/2012 14:20

Right am really hoping to make it out tonight but don't expect I'll get there til 8-8.30ish, and will probably only stay for c.1hr but it would be so lovely to see you all!

Have fun shopping to those that are!

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2012 15:32

Great Amber! Will be lovely to see you.

We will be downstairs.

Emo76 · 17/03/2012 15:33

amber would love to see you this eve, hope you make it, I know it's probably a long way to come for an hour or so but will be super worth it!

Still don't know what to wear. However I managed to do an anti ageing mask this morning so will bring ID just in case.. [sarcastic emoticon]

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2012 15:35

Emo what time do you think you will be there?

I have had wardrobe change and am wearing red Halston cashmere. I'm daring to go red!

AmberNectarine · 17/03/2012 15:44

Who wants to take a bet on how much fizz I can pour down my throat in an hour, given I haven't been out for 6 months!

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2012 15:45

We'll have it lined up for you Amber, chilled and glass ready Grin

Emo76 · 17/03/2012 15:55

Am aiming for 6 pm. A bit of an early start but is the plan to grab the cave on arrival? Disclaimer am likely to fail to pace self with drinks and forget everyone's real name.

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2012 15:58

Yes cave was still free when I checked on Monday. Hopefully it still is.

Don't worry about real names, mn names are fun and used loads, which I love. Grin.

Cool I'll come early at 6.00 too.

notyummy · 17/03/2012 16:00

Am loving the sound of Halston cashmere!

Have swum, steam roomed and saunaed. Now have attractive blotchiness on chest and back. Think either outfit will cover it though. Still don't know what to wear!!

Cheerfully don't have the name problem, though I have a confession to make - my surname isn't really Nectarine...

Dauphin · 17/03/2012 16:01

Oh, have a lovely meet up guys...very Envy

Decam ... I felt just like that just this week. After some time off I bet you'll feel differently....just take some rest. Try and find a new gym where there is a creche too.

Mrscb ... good luck with the painting. I am completely like you. Aesthetics are important to me too. DH thinks I'm barmy but I have been known to redecorate rooms whilst he's away, and certainly rearranged furniture.

MrsCampbellBlack · 17/03/2012 16:04

Have a lovely lovely time tonight!

Amber - really hope you get out.

Portia4 · 17/03/2012 16:45

Yes guys do have a fab evening, next time!

rufus101 · 17/03/2012 16:48

Have a great time guys! Very Envy
Trying to decide what to cook this evening for DH and myself. Am veering towards homemade burger. Yum.

notyummy · 17/03/2012 17:26

Bloody hell! Arrived at hairdresser just before 4 for a one hour cut. Still here!! Afraid I won't be making the 6pm deadline folks. Annoying!

Emo76 · 17/03/2012 17:42

Am en route. Slightly doubting shoe choice (possibly a bit christmas party!) and hair a bit frizzy. Looking fwd to a drink.

Emo76 · 17/03/2012 17:59

Live update am here am poised to grab the cave on the stroke of 6. Have a cocktail which tastes like v good juice. That's my five a day done. Ladies I am the one in black with glittery shoes and bad hair!

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2012 18:05

Emo you star. Leaving in 5 mins. Be there soon as poss!

Sorry bath time ran over a bit.

MidnightinMoscow · 17/03/2012 18:56

Have a wonderful time everyone!

AmberNectarine · 17/03/2012 19:44

Am on way! Covered in glitter from my Anya - chic I am not! Cannot believe I am out!

AmberNectarine · 17/03/2012 22:09

Well what a lovely, if brief, time I had at the MU! All you ladies are gorgeous, stylish and so friendly and welcoming!

Sorry to those of you I didn't get to have a proper chat with, and a particular sorry to hopefully who I think I bored for the longest! Cant wait for the next one now. The good news is, even though she woke 4 times, DH was able to settle the baby.

Hope the night continues to flow as well as it was!
