And so we Wisely turn away from any summer purchases to Avid thoughts of stylish winter coats. Which means (surely) that the sun will shine, after wool jackets are bought....

Evening,

Amber I am flying solo this weekend as well. Read your thread first thing and was indignant on your behalf but my Dad popped in before I could answer. DD as a strawberry sounds just delicious, do you have any photos (broody).

I haven't bought anything for a while seemingly swapping my love of clothes for gardening and was all ready to buy new boots, a Christopher Kain for Topshop tee, Cashmere jumper and scarf from Matches only to discover I had left my debit card at the garden centre. Will teach me right for going everyday this week. So annoyed.

I am happy though because I haven't had any white carbs all week and have broken my previous shred record by managing 6 days in a row. Think I move up to level two soon. Have celebrated by making a tarte au chocolat with a wholegrain crust for tea.
Congrats on the exercise results GOS I am still waiting on any visible results (impatient).

A quick good morning from lovely hotel!

Amber, sorry your DH is being a poo. Haven't read your thread, but base on his past behaviour I'm issuing a very definite YANBU. Hugs.

Did a bit of clothes shopping yesterday, but came away empty handed. Saw De Manta clutch in RL and it is true love though - just need one in my colours to appear somewhere. Also quite liked the tote version. Tragically was not sure about the Alexa when on me. It wasn't a Roxy moment.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go and eat enough full English/croissants/yoghurt to keep a small army going.

Oh dear, am hungover. Consumed far too much alcohol yesterday.

Was good though, went to Selfridges and DH bought a jacket in Hugo Boss. Had a wander about, I introduced him to the Balancegia! Had lunch in Yalla Yalla, honestly the food is amazing in there. Had a bit of fizz in the Charlotte Street hotel bar, and then a few drinks on the way home. DH is out again today so I am flying solo with a hangover.

Hopefully sounds like you are having a lovely weekend, enjoy the breakfast.

Amber, I read the thread this am, you poor thing. Not sure what to say that others have not said - but he really is rather selfish to say the least. I hope you have a good day today.

What have you been buying in the garden centre Suburban?

I love my animal skinnies to Ants and agree they didn't give too much at all. Unlike my red J Brands, that Matches have asked me to send for inspection. Oh, and a pocket in the mini gracie came away yesterday too - so will need to take that back. Very annoying.

issimma I wore my whistles animal skinnies with this top www.frenchconnection.com/product/Woman+Collections+Tops/76NZE/Renoir+Jersey+Cowl+Neck+Top.htm

Morning!

Amber I hope you managed to get an early night and that you have a lovely afternoon off.
MiM Sounds like a lovely day!
Hopefully I love hotel breakfasts too and end up going back time and again to have every conceivable breakfast foodstuff - yum. I am !
Issimma I love those Whistles animal skinnies! I'm intrigued to hear that they might fit with a bump! Will you let me know? I'm currently 14 and a bit weeks...

We're off to Greenwich Park today in the hope of enjoying the sun and trying to get DS to try his scooter which he has thus far rejected. I am wearing maternity skinnies from New Look but have already had to hoik them up numerous times and I've only been in them an hour! I'm also planning on doing some bag research later. I want a small cross-body in black (pondering the mini Alexa and a Chloe small satchel). Mulberry are about to release a changing bag here. Is this ridiculous or desirable? I've already sent DH the link for birthday ideas!

DD1 still unwell, I hope DD2 doesn't catch it.

Amber, enjoy your afternoon off!

MiM, sounds like a good day yesterday. Hope AH fix the bag for you and you get a refund from Matches.

I am not buying anything until I get red Pistols. My terracotta pistols are on eBay, glad now I didn't cancel my account.

Darkness, I'd put the money towards an Alexa bag instead and use a Longchamp bag or something.

Ooh new mini Gracies!!!

I love that baby bag, darkness! In fact the non baby version is going on my wishlist!

Well ladies, I am happy to report that the baby slept all evening, I had not one but two glasses of wine and neither of them woke until 7am! No word from DH since midnight, when I received a text telling me 'Babe, you are got wxxxxyz'

AW fever well and truly underway, have been rotting up my wishlist and DH better get a pretty big bonus next month --and give it all to
me--

Strikeout fail.

Oh amber I am so pleased you got some sleep. Hope you are going to stick to your plan for lazy afternoon with some glossies in the cafe? Yes to big present from DH. What are you thinking?

Ooh ants I don't know, I genuinely only need a new purse and a nice pair of court shoes, but there is a lot I want. He has promised me a trip to Bicester week after next as well. He will rue the day he pissed me off!

Oh no, MiM not your precious Gracie? Hope she can be fixed or replaced!

Took the kids to the car boot sale over the road and have come back with a load of tat for £3 to keep them amused. The baby is very taken with Mrs Potato head!

amber you have done so well to manage on your own. Armchair and glossies await you. Trip to Bichester sounds great. I hope once you have both had time to reflect on this weekend you can both come to an arrangement abut childcare and time to yourself that works for you both.

decameron hope sick DD perks up soon.

MIM my mum had an Anya bag which broke. She took it back to her shop off the kings road (even though she had not bought the bag from there and she did not have the recept) they sent it away for repair no questions asked. I guess with such an important brand they are really careful with issues of quality.

seventh the shoes are from Jigsaw. They are in the sale. Also come in a nude/ gold colour way which is very lovely.

Seventh 50p, and she has all her accessories! I too never dress before I absolutely have to. Flylady can sod off with her putting your shoes on at 7am. I don't think I have ever opened the door to Mr DHL in anything pyjamas. I have clearly passed this down to DS who demands his 'Jamas' the minute we walk through the door.

Ahem.

I am in the process of buying my lusted after McQ de manta clutch.

In forest green.

That is all.

Who, or what, is Flylady and what are the rules re dressing?

Confused re fly lady too.
Well done hopefully. Can't wait for the pin.
Hope things are better now amber
Sorry to hear of poorly dd decam.
Great photo of Miranda Kerr in animal print skinnies in yesterday's Times. Will try and find photo for all you followers!

WTF? Where did you find her???
