Crepeys Not Crêpes

[Cremolafoam]

Oi over here hags

Oh I am liking those cos dresses.....also like some of the woolover stuff too! But like Herbs, have no money....(wonders if she can justify a roll neck and a tunic)...

Hoody??

I reckon the Woolovers sizing is on the large side. I ordered the cardigan in the smallest size available and it is still huge on me (I'm a 10-12).

I am finally feeling a little more human (just as though I have a stinking cold, which is a big improvement on how I felt at the weekend). However, I have had a reaction to the bastard antibiotics, which meant I had to trail back to the doc's this morning and unfurl my pendulous norks from their packaging to demonstrate to the doc that they had mainly turned bright pink. "Classic drug reaction", apparently. She gave me some other, possible more horrible antibiotics to finish the course and then recommended that I see an allergy consultant as my choice of antibiotics now appears to be limited to er, not very many. Bugger.

Am wearing my new Cos trousers and they are luverly....

Anything from Cos would fit me like a sausage skin.

Strops - love your image of you unfurling your bright pink norks! I am also allergic to certain types of antibiotics, but thankfully not penicillin.

I am loving my new parka. It hides the extra weight gained from all of the knoedel and kartoffelpuffer I have been eating. Not to mention the strudel and Mozart balls.

Oooh I'm very partial to a Mozart Ball.

WTF is a Mozart Ball?

Austrian chocs, BTM. See here

MrsS, I am v. at your list. Strudel.... mmmm. We have a couple of customers in Vienna. Perhaps I really, really ought to visit them

Ooops, didn't check the content on that chocs link I posted. Just skimmed the first page and the English is amusingly dreadful. Terrible false economy, you know, not getting your stuff translated by a proper translator

I must tell you crepesters about the marvel that is MUA make up at Superdrug. It's so cheap, yet so good! I bought a lipstick, eye liner, glittery eyeliner and blusher for a grand total of ....... £4! And the eyeliner is supersoft, yet durable, and the lipstick is just the right amount of colour.

What a load of Mozart Balls. Doesn't even say what's in them! I suspect marzipan, which is not acceptable.

Ah, you have to click on the list of different ball types for ingredients. But yes, marzipan

Superdrug MUA you say? I shall see if dd has purchased any. She spends almost as much time in Superdrug as she does in New Look. She even drags ds in there and gets him to give his opinion on things. "Don't EVER wear that wine colour because it makes you look REALLY bad". Well, at least he tells it how it is.

It says what's in them on the next page, Herbs, and yes, marzipan. And some other delicious stuff. They look awesome - wonder if I can get some for dh's stocking. They are right up his strasse. Will check out the MUA makeup - my Pixi powder has just done the get-to-thin-and-fall-out-of-the-tray thing, all over my handbag so I am on the prowl for new stuff. Like the thought of glittery eyeliner for Xmas.

On a very non-style, non-beauty note, I am pathetically excited about a skip and some topsoil I have arriving tomorrow. It will be a weekend of old clothes and terrible hair, but also satisfying clearing of the collection of old mattresses, broken plastic planters and rotting carpet that the previous owners of our house left us with. We have some paving slabs to break up and get rid of too, so there may even be cathartic sledgehammer action.

I want a skip! One has been promised, but has yet to appear. So meanwhile our front garden is filling up with old kitchen, bags of rubble, etc, squashing my delicate ferns.

I can't see what's in them as access is denied to the next page (at work!) but I LOVE marzipan!

Will also check out the MUA stuff. Do they do magnetic nail varnish? - DS is planning too get DD some for Christmas - he was a bit overwhelmed by the variety of choice of make-up the other day in a small Boots. And the prices Glittery eyeliner would be a fab stocking filler!

A skip is very satisfying. The amount of detritus the previous occupants of this house left behind in the garden beggared belief: scaffolding poles, lumps of concrete, knackered fence panels, an old bathtub filled with empty plant pots...... There was only so much DH could burn (pyromaniac that he is).

Mind you, the local traveller community seemed to empty the damned skip as fast as we could fill it.

I am now dreaming of marzipan....mmmm.... Something I loathed as a child, but that's possibly because the marzipan of my youth was nasty luminous yellow stuff with the flavour and consistency of Play-Doh. It is soooo much nicer in a Mozart Ball.

BTM - respect to your ds for braving the makeup section at Boots. How new man of him . A trip like that should be on the PSHE curriculum.

Yes and he likes ironing and cooking too

Just hovering on the Woolovers site - have you seen the list of "titles" on the drop-down menu? Includes lady and countess

I am sucking on an Almdudler and poking in Topfenstrudel at speed, while waiting for my flight. And pondering whether to buy a bottle of Mozart Ball Liqueur. I am inclined not to. Have a Wienerin magazine to read on the flight and have just finished writing my presentation for my French exam. Sadly will not get home till around midnight.

And have job application to get in tomorrow.

Oi MI over here - I purchased, in the interests of saving you money, a tunic that is the same gauge as the dress you like and, yes OQ is spot on, fine as a tunic, but too thin for a dress......(woolovers)
So there you go - you owe me one :)

Oh marzipan - yum - dp HATES the stuff! We are fighting over a box of lovely chicks from Vienna that the boss bought back....

Moving on from marzipan and knitwear to a radically different subject......DH popped into the bathroom earlier while DS was lounging in the bath, and reported back that DS has somehow acquired PUBES! Lots of them!! Nooooo. Where did they come from? Where did my ickle boy go??

Oh CV! Your babeeee... I am wondering when this will happen to ds1. It can't be long, you can practically see the hormonal miasma wafting round him. Dh and I were both late developers though, so maybe not. One friend reports her dd (not quite 10) has her first pube. I haven't told dh about this otherwise he will definitely get cracking on the hundred mile deep thicket of thorns he's planing for round dd's bedroom.

DD1 is shooting out in all directions including furriness.

I may still purchase that dress and wear with leggings. But NOT the M&S jumper I linked to, which made me look horrid.

Yesterday I spotted The Coat I've been searching for for ever on Uniqlo's website. Today it isn't there any more. Surely they can't have sold out in a day? Is my taste THAT good?
