Shop have just emailed you - I am a total f*&kwit! Glad the trews are a success.
Marsha those Kors shoes are gorgeous.
Good luck at Doncaster Grumpy hope you are breaking open the bubbly.
Novice hope you get to chill - good rows are needed every now and again. I have had a lot of work drama this week but cannot share as it would out me!!!
Also question for Novice - you said Swarkovski do half price sales - are they due one soon do you know? I had a browse around this morning and saw a few things I really like. Going to Magnolia Silver tomorrow so may order a 'carrie' necklace!
Dry your spanx story made me laugh. I almost hyperventilated once in an M&S changing room trying on one of their tummy control vests - never again. And I couldn't cope without the multiple !!!!!
Waves to everyone else! Off now to browse the Dressing room....

Nope - didn't see that Amber.....
Right - tried Whistles dress on which looks fab but I was originally supposed to wear it for my 40th meal with DH that got chicken poxed off so I feel I should save it to wear with him.
Tried numerous things on and felt lousy (must be having an off day). Think I'm going to keep it simple - cream James skinny jeans, AV tee in beige, cream Whistles blazer and nude Floretes with mini Mulberry bag in tan. Just a bit scared it's too matchy matchy, might have to toughen it up with my brown biker at the last minute....... What I really need are Sleep's gorgeous necklaces that she was wearing when we met...... 
, will just wear my Swarovski cocktail ring instead and Michael Kors watch.......
Marsha what did you decide on?

Novice I hope you are relaxing and enjoying your weekend! It sounds like you had one hell of a week.
Foxy hope the Wang came out ok.
I managed to get an hour of childfree shopping today so I quickly nipped over the border to France.
The nearest town is a 15 minute drive away and quite small but has got a few boutiques.
I had to back out of the first one as the orange sales assistant (seriously, she looked like she had just come back from a holiday to the sun. Even more accentuated by the neon orange dress she was wearing) tried to convince me a satin dress was just the thing to buy, even when I explained that I had a toddler and a baby.
The second boutique might me my downfall though. They sell Maison Scotch, American Vintage and other lovely brands so it would have been rude not to buy anything.
I bought two American Vintage Jacksonville tees (40 ? so cheaper than in the UK) in Marshmallow and Candy. So now I have four AV tees, all in different shaded of pink 
I did try on a blue one that was called cobalt but that blue just wasn't vibrant enough for me.
Poor DD ate ok-ish today but this evening her temperature was quite high so I gave her some paracetamol. I am not sure it's teething as we only discovered she had her first two teeth when they were already poking out of her gums, so she doesn't seem too bothered by it.
I also feel a bit unther the weather (runny nose, sore throat) so maybe she has caught the same bug.

heels for shop
shop these might fill in the gap in your going out wardrobe, just don't buy them when you come back from your night out later after too much 
Wow happy excellent bargains!

Thank you so much ladies, you're all so kind.
Have had a nice day with the dcs so my stress levels have gone down. The row was because X didn't like the script I have written my presentation. Has been needling me for 3 weeks and has tried to rewrite it. I had a rehearsal with the actress who is coaching me and she said its lost its sparkle and charm, and that its not me. So she advised me to go back to my version. I did a great run through then did it again for X and with my nerves I fluffed it. Row ensued. The event is now close and the script is still being tinkered with. X doesn't understand why that's stressful for me. This is a big career deal so extra stress. Anyway I have decided to bugger my integrity and go with X's bland version which makes me sound like a bad parody of a middle aged man because I can't be getting stressed like this for the next 2 weeks.
I hope Marsha and Shop have great evenings in their fab outfits 
Liberty, Magnolia have a huge range online that you may not see in the shop so check both! Swaroski have a 50% sale in June. I was there eyeing up some rings that I might get if they are discounted to add to the vast collection
I saw the most stunning looking woman today. She was wearing an orange jumper with white trousers, beautiful sandals, great make up and manicure. Statement necklace and big chunky rings. She was so on trend that I just want to copy her whole look. She was mid to late 60s 
reminded me of dm and dmil. Go her!

Great outfit shop. The biker will have un-fevered your look. 
V bargainous purchases Happy. I thought I'd done well with my £35 silk Marc Jacobs halterneck from ebay, but you've out-thrifted me.
Sadly no bubbles today. Our horse got a bit overwhelmed with the occasion and didn't run as well as we expected. It was crazy busy at Doncaster though, with a funfair and everything and the poor baby just got stagefright. Cheered myself up by coming home and ordering the grey/black spotted sweater and dalmatian print dress from the preview. Well, I'd already ordered a heap of stuff for DD2, so why not? Agree with general consensus on the Boden preview thread that there is a decidedly J Crew influence about it these days, which ain't no bad thing.
