Or your MiH!

MarshaBrady · 17/05/2013 17:05

I could MiH it, I fear the ankle width with a heel will have to check doesn't look terrible. I also don't have dressy tops. It's all t shirts and plain simple cashmere jumpers. So dressy bit comes from skirt / dress or thereabouts.

MarshaBrady · 17/05/2013 17:05

Excellent OneLittle! Happy for you!

Sleepwhenidie · 17/05/2013 17:15

The suede ones are definitely contenders Marsha, it won't be too warm for them certainly! I fear my DC's won't get any attention from me in the morning, it will be spent trying and discarding my entire wardrobe Grin!

How nice One, funny you are welcoming your DH back and I am relishing getting rid of mine (will be feeling differently come Sunday Grin)

OneLittleLady · 17/05/2013 17:19

To be honest sleep I thought I'd love having the bed to myself, eating what I wanted and stuff but it's just been weird and lonely. I've had the cat for company though and my sister's been round a few times to keep me company as well. I'll just be glad when he's home even though I'll only have him for the weekend as he goes away again next week Sad

Sleepwhenidie · 17/05/2013 17:29

Oh I know One, I'll only enjoy it this evening, after that I'll want him home Smile.

shopafrolic · 17/05/2013 18:21

Right - it's too damn cold to get legs or ankles out, so change of plan for me. I'm not going to wear the Paige jeans Amber. Am going to wear my MNV inherited Goldsigns instead, with layers, and my jacket and boots. Sorry - might not be dressy but if I'm clambering in and out of trains and tubes I really can't be arsed to so heels. When you meet me you'll get it - I don't do girly well in bad weather! So I shall leave it to you guys to do the glam bit, I've decided I'm just coming as me! :) Can't wait to meet you all - such a shame more can't make it. Definitely need to plan for the next one!
Sleep your evening sounds delightful. Sounds as though every man needs a hobby that involves lots of technical gear!

shopafrolic · 17/05/2013 18:24

*do heels

shopafrolic · 17/05/2013 18:25

Disaster in the novice household. My nanny has injured herself and is at a&e :( thankfully cleaning lady was here so she looked after the dcs while I rushed home.

LinusDKD · 17/05/2013 18:46

Haven't had time to catch up with this thread but will do now the DC are in bed.

Quick link for shop: a jersey skirt you might like

charli

The colour is sea green but maybe it looks quite khaki to me.

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2013 18:49

Are you all going to start a MNV drunk thread tomorrow night?Grin they exist you know !
Shop Rambo has returned, I asked how many birds he'd got, I'm obv an idiot because it was clays as it's not the season......see I'm an amateur, not country born, suburbia through and through good job we weren't socialising with shooting lot this evening, would have been a huge foot in mouth moment Grin

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2013 18:49

Oh Novice that's bad, thank god for the cleaning lady!

Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2013 18:57

Ok since you now know I'm an idiot I'll give you my equally ridiculous foot in mouth with clients comment....calling Grumpy.....
In my early days as a corporate wife Wink we went to the races. I'm not a real racer, only a pretend one, but now that Grumpy has put me straight about appropriate fascinated etiquette I think I can pass myself off ok but still don't have a clue how the betting works.
Anyway there we were at the paddock....I,of course looked fabulous, was getting on famously with all and sundry (champ???) . I was reading the race card and swotting up on good to soft etc and spoke what I was thinking in a loud voice " gosh, I can't believe the horses weight only 8 stone!!!" Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff*! Too late, it just came out!

Blush Have a great time tomorrowSmile
Drywhiteplease · 17/05/2013 18:58

Fascinator etiquette...bloody predictive text!

Hope you are feeling better now, OneLady.

Drywhite Grin. My father used to shoot, many times I went into get my bike from the dark garage and walked straight into game birds hanging. Yikes.

The outfit sounds perfect, Shop. Hope you all have a good time tomorrow.

Hilarious Dry!
Decam it's a weekly occurrence here in season for me to squeal at a dead grouse! DS just points at them and shouts "PIGEON!!!!!"

Portia4 · 17/05/2013 20:57

We live outside the Pale in hunting and shooting country, I have had to develop a strong stomach as I live too far from mh patents to drop a pheasant on their door step!

libertychick · 17/05/2013 21:01

Great story Drywhite Grin

Novice your poor nanny and yes thank god the cleaner could step in - hope she is ok?

Good decision on the outfit Shop

So I am here packing for my week 'oop north' Have assumed it will be cold all week - 2 skinnies, 1 straight leg jeans, 2 l/s t's, 3 s/s t's, 2 cardis, 1 cashmere sweater, 1 linen sweater, 3 scarves, black parka, caterpillar boots, superga, trackie bottoms, PJs, swimsuit and flipflops (we have a hot tub on the deck of the cottage we have rented)...I have decided if the sun does shine I'll treat myself to a dress in Harrogate!

libertychick · 17/05/2013 21:20

Shop have just emailed you...

BrandyAlexander · 17/05/2013 21:22

Our poor nanny is okay-ish but will need to return to hospital tomorrow and on Monday. Dcs were quite traumatised from witnessing the accident.

I can still make the meet up but the birthday dinner dance we were going to tomorrow night is prob a no, as our nanny was meant to be babysitting. (Unless we can scramble a replacement).Sad

We were v lucky it happened on one of the days our lovely cleaning lady is here. The dcs adore her and vice versa. She gave them their tea and looked after them. Shes fab. she's recently created a draw for my pjs and has them all neatly stacked up in thereSmile.

Annianni · 17/05/2013 21:25

Have a fab holiday Liberty, it's been nice and warm today.
We didn't need coats on at the zoo which was a surprise.

I grew up in a shooting household.
I used to help clean the guns and I had a rather large rabbit's foot collection

Hope you all have fun tomorrow, and have some fizz for me please.

libertychick · 17/05/2013 21:31

Oh to have a good cleaner!! Someone to organise the PJ's sounds just wonderful. Hope your nanny is feeling better soon novice.

QueenCadbury · 17/05/2013 21:34

novice hope she's ok. What happened?

I'm rather Envy at all your talks of offices with bars etc. it's a world away from being a nurse working for the NHS Grin.

To all those going away have a fab time.

And for those of you meeting tomorrow have a fab time too. Have some Wine for me too. I'm driving 60 miles to meet up with my parents tomorrow just so I don't have to look after the dc on my own all day. This week will be tough as dh is on call and it's week 7 of the term so the older dc are utterly exhausted. Roll on next Friday when it becomes half term!

BrandyAlexander · 17/05/2013 21:47

queenC, she shut her finger in the hinges of a solid wood internal door and severed the tip of it.Shock I am so paranoid about that happening with the dcs that I am always going on about no fingers in doors.
