Which one of us broke Matches?

Congrats Amber on the delivery of your 'leopard' babies, named Jimmy Choo (cute name)....

Thanks to all for kind words about Thomas-cat. A terrible time but his name creeps into the conversation now in a more relaxed manner; less clutching of my breast and weeping although finding cat nip toys everywhere still which can be a bit searingly sad.

MrsCadbury I do love the Lola cross body in banana. I'm a sucker for a yellow in an accessory.

Am fuming that India Knight featured 'Bottle O Butter' in her ST column last week and it is getting harder to get hold of. However here's a nod to another wonder product from the States with a grotty name 'Original Udder Balm'. It is the most emollient cream and effects transformation of sand-blasted hands and feet into soft, toddler skin.

Am hoping a UK distributor will step in soon. Have lobbied many of them!

I love these Nine West sandals and they also come in blue-

Is that udder stuff the same as this?. This gets recommended for people getting dry cracked hands from chemotherapy. It works wonders.

Likely it is similar MrsCadbury. Some contain Urea which is excellent for eliminating Keratosis Pilari too.

Can you imagine how much money Matches are losing in sales per minute? There tech team must be being hung out to dry!

THEIR!!!! God I'm tired......

Is it still down? I don't think they were expecting it to be this big! ,I think MNV is to be blamed ,

shop I love the Gruffallo, your son is sweet with his little mouse....I love the mouse, shows little people are not to be underestimated!
Am now watching Dirty Britain on catch up before dinner........so I can snoop on your cousins ex! Am feeling a bit twitchy and haven't got to the rats yet!

I think we'll claim responsibility santa
No rats to be seen Dry - her name is Rosemary - about half way through - very respectable I assure you!
House of Fraser up to 50% off sale now online - instore tomorrow - let's crash another site ladies!

Ewwww, I hate rats and mice. I once lived in a house with a mouse infestation and I cried myself to sleep every night until they were gone. They make my skin crawl.

In less fashiony news, I have to find an outfit that's cool, tight but not restrictive and with tough but flexible footwear. I start drum lessons next week so it's for that

One I thought you had a poorly arm (or am I getting confused?). How will you drum?

I do have a poorly arm, however, I've been told by the doctors that if I don't start moving it, I run the risk of losing the arm altogether through amputation so they've told me to do whatever it takes to get it moving.

In that case One drumming sounds like a very cool way to get moving!

the way I figure it shop is that if I'm going to be in pain no matter what I do, I might as well be in pain doing something cool

Ha good work on the Matches site.

McNally ah shame about the Theory, but good to send back if not right.

Faddy pink skirt sounds fabulous.

I bought this J Crew bangle today which I'd been lusting after for a while. It was in the sale and I used the SUMMERTIME code to get another 30% off. I think it might work with a grey tee and boyfriend jeans type look rather than for dressing up?

Eeeeeuuuuuwwww Shop that was horrible! Programmes like that make me v depressed about our shortsightedness about rubbish, packaging and recycling........they also make me head for the bleach, anti bac spray and bring on a manic cleaning frenzy! Need a lie down and a stiff drink............
Oh and today I bought a pair of jeans I already have! Douh.........

Ha! Dry brilliant re: duplicate jeans purchase!
Vol 13 is ready to go once we're full here
No jumping ship early now ladies!

Dry please can you clarify that my cousin's ex lived in a naaaiiiice area, in a naaaiiiice house so they don't all think I'm a skanky individual? :)

Matches is back up

Spoke too soon

My kids have done the Selfridges sale twice yearly since birth!!

I love you Amber

Ah that brings back fond memories of Liberty with ten day old .

Love your Choos Amber.

shop's cousin looked very clean,wore a presentable wrap jersey dress with black opaque tights and sensible ballet flats, with a lovely mother of pearl necklace and a good hair cut. She did NOT look like a person whose house was infested with RATS! ( and a lovely black lab too)

I lived in a countryside house that had mice.......I became so obsessed I literally poured mice poison on the floor....toddlers and crawlers would not have survived. Am still psychologically scarred.......need to visit migonette for some shoe therapy!

Amber you have done MNV proud with your admirable commitment to seeking a designer bargain. I am sincerely in awe.
