Oh nice to see the thread represented just then with lady and shopping bags!!!

CHOOGIRL · 12/08/2012 21:14

Not caught up on thread but Kate is wearing yet another of my dresses.

MarshaBrady · 12/08/2012 21:17

Have been out with friends from ds1's first school. Gosh it was good! So lovely to see them am a bit tipsy.

Icey good work on the low carb!

OllieinOrange · 12/08/2012 21:17

Smile Choo. I think you have a style stalker.

Have you all watched this Team GB video

Weird how Prince Harry is there (looking serious) and Katie without William. Hmmm?

CHOOGIRL · 12/08/2012 21:20

Harry looks like he's just come out of China White. Wills is working. Harry representing HM, I guess she couldn't face three hours of pop music

OllieinOrange · 12/08/2012 21:23

Maybe HM will pop up in one of the taxis?

Enjoyed the One Direction bit!

Russianred · 12/08/2012 21:37

Evening all - enjoying the closing ceremony very much here. Life overwhelming me slightly at the moment and can't seem to keep up. Hope everyone is well.

Wot no Boden?

AmberNectarine · 12/08/2012 23:14

Lol at ollie. I would love to see Kate Moss in a Fun Appliqué skirt and favourite cropped cardigan.

Hopefully · 13/08/2012 07:45

Lol at KM in boden Grin

DS2 has vomited once this morning, with no warning, and seems fine now. Would you boycott toddler gatherings in this situation? Haven't had a child vomit since DS1 was about one, have no idea of etiquette!

AmberNectarine · 13/08/2012 07:54

Hmm, tough one Hopefully, my DD is still a bit reflux-y and thus prone to the odd puke, so I'd pay no heed if it were her, but with DS I would probably avoid company until I'd gauged the situation.

AmberNectarine · 13/08/2012 08:27

Question for you ladies, am meeting a friend tomorrow on the Sourh Bank, where is good to go with a lively 13mo?

Decameron · 13/08/2012 08:52

Giraffe is good, Amber.

Hopefully, I'd probably cancel, just in case.

Red, hope you are ok.

Ollie, I ordered the grey too. They are a quarter of the price of the J Brands I was going to get so hope they fit.

You are inspiring me to give eBay another go. I have DD2's sheepskin rug to sell, at least. I have added Bonsoir's parka to my list along with the DvF jacket. :)

We are off to the park while the cleaning ladies are here. Hope the rain holds off.

Decameron · 13/08/2012 08:53

DD1 has just said cheerfully that if it rains we'll go to the shoe shop for her Lelli Kellys instead of the park. A girl after my own heart.

MidnightinMoscow · 13/08/2012 09:08

Morning. Potty training here, all good fun.

Amber the cafe at the Tate modern is very child friendly.

Our internet is down so only on the phone at the moment, so just a quickly from me. MIL went home yesterday, and we have chosen the bathroom tiles - on Pin if anyone want's a look. Had a lovely picnic at Box Hill where the cycling was held. Fabulous views of the Surrey hills.

First day of new regimen started today, back on MFP and going for a swim tonight.

FritziGreenEyes · 13/08/2012 09:14

DD is back to school today. She was in good spirits but for me it feels very odd and quiet at home... Will distract myself with a good de-clutter and possibly more ebaying later.

Wore WC navy jersey maxi from last year with Edelman gladiators and silver shopping bag for first school run. Have decided that the weather is too nice to even start thinking about A/W wear. Will probably regret it when everything I want is sold out by September Hmm

FritziGreenEyes · 13/08/2012 09:16

mim Good luck with the potty training! Enjoy your swim tonight.

deca Love your DD's idea of turning a rainy day around by going shopping Smile

hopefully I think I would cancel.

MarshaBrady · 13/08/2012 09:21

MiM I like the tiles, very pretty colours.

Fritzi lovely first day outfit. We have three to four weeks left. Actually not too bad now ds2 is old enough to play.

Amber yes Tate Modern is great.

All dc back now. We have had a great few very indulgent days.

blossoming · 13/08/2012 09:25

Having such a lovely time. Best campsite I've been on, and it's the 9th time we've been with Eurocamp. Friends arrive today. I'm wearing red VL with slouchy jigsaw v neck white tee as cover up and green shorts. Off to beach, happy days.
Love to all.

So jealous of your holiday bloss, still got 3 weeks until ours!

MarshaBrady · 13/08/2012 09:31

Sounds lovely Bloss!

Dauphin · 13/08/2012 09:31

Closing ceremony fab, wasn't it! Did grimace slightly at GM though.

But otherwise, amazing!

Oh dear re DD, mrscb. Hope it pops out in a big sneeze. DD2 did a very violent sneeze a couple of months ago, and out popped the biggest green snotty object, which turned out to be a playmobil police gun. We didn't even know it was there. What had she put up her nose?

Hope you are having a fab hols Bloss....

Massive organising and cleaning as moving in a few weeks. Good excuse for a clear out.

MidnightinMoscow · 13/08/2012 09:55

Have braved the playground with a potty!

Meant to say MrsCB, poor DD. Hope it's resolved soon. If it helps it will be a very quick GA I would have thought.

Dauphin that is so funny!!

Love the sound of your summery outfit fritzi.

What plans do you have with the DC's for the rest of the time
marsha?

Holiday sounds great Bloss.

Am excited that we plan to go away next May, not had a holiday since 2010 and not been abroad since our honeymoon. Can't wait!
