Sorry about thread title. Hope everyone is back from holidays soon and will find us here.

amber Which JBrands did you get?

bonsoir I tried on those two tops in Cos before Easter and was tempted too. Bought a simple navy dress in Cos and shoes, which are not on the website . Will return this top. Cos is great at the moment I think.

Bloss - with j brand anything with an 8 at the front is mid-rise and anything with a 9 at the front is low-rise.

Right the colour ladies have spoken so coral it is [had loyalty points so virtually free]

Shrek 2 is on cbbc so may go off for bath and exfoliation before fake-tanning and even after careful application I'll still be just off-white as opposed to golden.

And like that thinking re. necklace First was Icey not going to do that with a mulberry?

That is really interesting. Thank you mrscb. Is tonight your date night?

Can I draw attention ladies to this story,tis my friend's DH.

Trying to raise profile as Greek search money run out and now relying on volunteers,locals and tourists.

That's really sad and so worrying georgina.

Gosh, Georgina, how awful.

Welcome back, Red, glad you had a good holiday. Yes, I came across the tan pistols half price. Still very expensive but hopefully worth it.

I have both bloss, not a great deal in it, other than, as mrsCB says, the rise.

Mim, glad you went to the doctor and hope you feel better soon.

ICC, awww.

MrsCB, lovely scarf and tops.

Ollie, I prefer the White Co top.

Thanks Bloss
We have a facebook page 'Find John lawton'

We trying to raise profile nationally as time running out,missing almost a week.
We are are all bombarding media with it as much as we can.
Lovely couple,been together since teens,just retired last year.

Georgina - how awful - I hope he's found soon.

Oh Georgina - how worrying for everyone concerned. Your poor friend.

Bloss - we're out tomorrow night. DH out tonight so I just watched 'I don't know how she does it' lordy what a pile of tosh. Not even SJP's alexa could save it.

Had no idea about the significance of a J Brand 8 and 9! I love little fashion facts like that!

Red a BIG welcome back to you. Your trip sounds so lovely. How were the DC on the flight?
Give me more details on your stripy top search? If you want a cheap jersey one, H&M has this blue and white one which is nice here. I may have brought it yesterday and forgotten until I unpacked the bag earlier.....

Thanks for all your kind thoughts.
Lynda,his wife,been on Radio 5 today.
she wonders if anyone knows if a mobile phone that is switched off can be tracked?
We suspect not but if a.nyone has any contacts in Communication industry they may know a way..
Grasping at straws now

I saw that at the cinema MrsCB - got irritated at her running around in heels a la SITC. Keep thinking 'just walk woman'.

Are you getting help and advice from the British Consulate over there? Hope so.

Yy to IDKHSDI, she wanted to get herself a pair of ballet flats. It was pretty awful, but was an afternoon of relative peace as I went to see it at mother and baby showing at cinema when DD was few weeks old.

georgina that is such a sad story, I really hope he is found soon.

Yes,FO involved.
Lynda has consul officials to help.
Our MP/FO have persuaded Greek govt to continue search,they were going to stop.

Georgina how awful. Fingers crossed he has had an awful fall or something (I know that's horrible, but better than the alternative ) and will be picked up an taken to hospital soon.

MrsCB that is a v useful J brand fact, thank you.

We are chilling with popcorn and dark chocolate and The Mentalist before a busy weekend. I have had to do my disappointed face at DH because he was meant to Shred while I was out buying treats and he played a flying game on the iPad.

Excited that my Stella and Dot order has been dispatched, hope it arrives on Mon. Have high hopes.

georgina that is hard for you too. You are a true friend.

So glad you forewarned me girls. I fear SJP is annoying anyway, just like JenAn. It takes another vehicle to highlight this.

DH doesn't understand that in the past 10 years, bags have doubled and more in price whereas shoes have stayed the same. FFS I was buying balenciaga copies for £200 10 years ago! It's my money anyway. He's happy I'm saving, not putting it on my CC.
