..in the days when I did the school run, and lazed about all day in the sun with toddlers pretending it was hard work.. Wink

I think for me this would be a serious contender:

Oh I'm so jealous of a day shopping alone. I have 3 kids under 6, a DH who works away a lot. Yet I have to get a load of new clothes as I've lost 30lbs since Jan and DH and I are off to NY for a few days of larks in 8 weeks...

Next time you must consult me before setting off.

Although I do like the Gap dress so thanks for that Grin

I like the green dress
not enough green in my wardrobe
I bought some clogs this week to wear with dresses
am a clogs virgin so a bit nervous

LadyIsabellaWrotham · 04/05/2013 13:07

LLL you need one cheapie dress from Tescos a pair of tracky bottoms to travel in and an otherwise empty suitcase. This is the shopping opportunity of a lifetime - I'm sure MN will provide you with an itinerary and a long list of items to try on.

Pick us up a scoop-necked (or any necked) maxi with sleeves, please.

And the moon on a stick.

Cheers Smile
