(((hugs))) mignonette. I still pine for the cat we had as a child and that died when I was in my twenties.

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2013 19:30

Oh yes they are gorgeous Mignonette someone with small feet get the DvF perspex ones.

Love the swimwear too.

Aw sorry about your poor little cat.

Drywhiteplease · 11/06/2013 19:30

Migonette I feel a breakdown coming on...can I come round for some shoe therapy ?Grin you are funny!! Lovely cat.....I'm defo more of a cat person than a dog, although will only allow guinea pigs in my house....mean mummy! ( oh and a hamster who was dead for 3 days before anyone noticed and a goldfish who escaped onto my kitchen floor, rescued by my own hand covered by a nappy sack......still traumatised, don't do fish!)
I watched RHOfB hills Shock at their parties, and a bit Envy too.

linus I hope you like the DP maxi, it has a split on the side which I should have told you about because its not obvious in the pic.

Result here! Have been angling for a modular sofa thing for my family room for ages after seeing one at my friend's house in Cheshire. DH doesn't think we need to spend yet. Mmmmm HmmSo I suggested, since we are childless on Saturday, why don't we take both cars to Ikea ( a romantic date no less, said I'd buy him some Sweedish meat balls!) he cracked.......no way is he going to spend a sunny Saturday afternoon in ing Ikea....."order it and get it delivered"!!!!! One nil to MrsDry

I think Wimbledon men's final would be a god time to mention something from Vera Wang ( so I can join the club Wink) or the watch I've been pining for, or a handbag..........................................

McNally · 11/06/2013 19:43

Well done novice. Sounds fantastic!

Glad I'm not the only RHOBH fan too!

shopafrolic · 11/06/2013 20:21

Good management Dry.
I've never seen Mad Men. Should I? Is it a chick thing or can I watch it with DH?
I've given up on my m&S snakeskin shoes ever fitting well and have ordered a 7.5. Am hoping I can sell the 7 on EBay.......
Off to the theatre tomorrow....... To see the Gruffalo's child - he things have changed.
I love the one piece Mignonette - I often think of you and your cat! I remember that time very well. Hope you're doing ok.
Our oldest dog ( a lab) doesn't have long on this earth and I dread when we'll have to say goodbye.

Oh yes Shop you should. Especially given what you do, you'll get the characters. Dh is hooked but not sure what general consensus is on that.

MarshaBrady · 11/06/2013 20:27

Lol well done Dry. I've been to Ikea only once, once was enough!

libertychick · 11/06/2013 20:33

Well done Novice. Sounds like more good things could flow from this success.

And well done Dry on exemplary DH management.

Shop it took me ages to break in the M&S snakeskin flats - just about there I think - I am sure they will go on ebay quickly.

Haven't time to look at links - will try later. I am travelling home from an inspiring talk, work related but it has made me feel good about what I do and some fresh ideas for new approaches to problems.

shopafrolic · 11/06/2013 20:37

I miss those types of courses Liberty. I miss all of the Personal Development stuff I used to do. I learnt a lot about myself and my relationships with others, problem solving etc. I wonder if there are books out there that I could read to keep me in the loop?

AmberNectarine · 11/06/2013 20:46

Erm, Jimmy Choo sale is on....

I've definitely not bought another pair of shoes. No, sirree.

Drywhiteplease · 11/06/2013 21:28

Shop good god....you must get Mad Men box sets! I absolutely adore it. Fantastic writing, gorgeous clothes, so stylish....took me a few episodes to get hooked, but love it. My all time fav has to be West Wing, I'm a sucker for American drama ....ER, Greys Amatomy,MASH ( when I was at school) .......completely missed Sex and the City,( me who loves clothes!!) and want to see 24.

QueenCadbury · 11/06/2013 21:31

Evening. Is it really bad to be sitting here a little bit drunk on a Tuesday night Grin. Dh has had to go up north unexpectedly as mil is in hospital so I'm home alone with the Sauvignon blanc.

novice well done on your talk. And hope that mr novice isn't jealous of your breakfast date with mr politician Grin.

mignonette totally understand how you feel about your cat. I'll be utterly devastated when anything happens to my 2. They're part of the family.

I can't keep up with what you're all watching. I'm stuck in a time warp and watching friends on Comedy Central! Gotta love friends!

shopafrolic · 11/06/2013 21:38

So the weirdest thing has just happened. I'm watching Dirty Britain on ITV (classy I know) and my cousin's ex wife has just appeared on screen talking about their rat infestation in Oxfordshire! I feel unclean.

congrats amber on your new bundle of joy! very nice.

dry i like you Grin,im addicted to U.S shows too, love greys anatomy, sex and the city,and i started watching hart of dixie which is not bad.
shop mad men can be hard to digest at first but it gets so much better.

libertychick · 11/06/2013 22:51

Oh Amber they are gorgeous - it's been a good shoe day on the links with your Choo's, Santa's Lanvin and the lovely L&B's - Hopefully did you buy them????

Shop Thanks Thanks the parcel arrived - I love both items! please don't tell everyone else what an utter disorganised nightmare I am

I don't get to many training or development things - I really try to get home for bedtime every night and that makes all that stuff and networking getting drunk with colleagues very difficult. Make's it more of a treat though when I do it.

libertychick · 11/06/2013 22:52

DD's bedtime that is!

Sleepwhenidie · 11/06/2013 22:56

Hi all-I am exhausted and bedraggled and coated in a fine layer of icing sugar and sparkly cake topping, the princess cake is done. Never again. Will post a pic tomorrow, bed now.

Well done on all the lovely shoe purchases Envy.

Drywhiteplease · 11/06/2013 23:16

Well done sleep! Can't wait o see it.hope the party goes well.

libertychick · 11/06/2013 23:40

Dry I have just looked at your wardrobe pics - so organised! Where do you get your plastic shoe boxes?

shopafrolic · 12/06/2013 08:01

Haven't had time to catch up but just got an email from Matches saying some items on my wishlist are now on sale. Some Gigis and a ZK tee. If there was something you were after it might be worth checking to see if it is now reduced....
