does anyone have a p lim bag? what's the quality like?

MarshaBrady · 13/06/2013 18:07

Afraid not Foxy, but I'd love one.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 13/06/2013 18:11

Just bought these. Hope we get the weather so I can wear some of these sandals I've been buying. Need wellies today Sad

LinusDKD · 13/06/2013 18:56

Well done Mr. Liberty!

I also wash my cashmere in my washing machine, just on a cold wool cycle and they come out ok. But maybe I should try laundry bags. What kind are suitable for cashmere?

Have got a splitting headache which may be hormonal or because it was so hot here today. I am expecting a thunderstorm any minute now because the wind is blowing something awful.

Does anyone know when the Me&Em sale starts? As I have hardly bought anything in the sales so far (stupid Selfridges) and as I have a lot of their stuff pinned on my 'would like to own' board, I hope their sales aren't a dissapointment.

I'm also thinking of coming to London for a day of shopping next weekend, but only if the sales have started in the shops.

Drywhiteplease · 13/06/2013 19:05

Me&Em sale? Ooh maybe my dress will go in.......will pop in basket just in case.
liberty what a lovely DH...can't see the jacket, which colour is it?

AmberNectarine · 13/06/2013 19:12

foxy I love my Rocco, but honestly, no, I wouldn't buy again. Within a couple of months the leather trim had started to wear away and in some places is very ragged now. Admittedly I don't baby my bags but I don't feel I should have to with a rugged looking article like that. I've never been gentle with my others and they look pretty good, even the exotics.

LinusDKD · 13/06/2013 19:12

dry I think they will have a sale, just not sure when.

Wine and Toblerone are my friends keeping me company tonight.

Drywhiteplease · 13/06/2013 19:16

Water and dry toast here.........have had to ditch girls night due to sudden and very violent stomach upset.........I have a stomach of steel, just don't understand it and its my long anticipated race day tomorrow Sad. Tips welcome (or the health variety....but horsey ones v welcome too!Wink)

shopafrolic · 13/06/2013 19:37

Flat, warm full sugar Coca Cola Dry - poor you!

LinusDKD · 13/06/2013 19:45

Second the Coca Cola advice, it's what DM used to give to us when we had an upset tummy when we were little.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 13/06/2013 19:54

Have a good day tomorrow Drywhite. We have one runner there, but I won't tell you his name because I'd be surprised if he won - he's run twice before for us and been disappointing so not really a betting prospect. I really hope he does better tomorrow though because he has shown some promise at home. Hope your tummy feels better. Coca Cola cures everything (I am an addict)

shopafrolic · 13/06/2013 20:20

God people love Cath Kidston don't they? Bid already placed on EBay!

Hope you feel better soon Drywhite.

Fab dh Liberty.

Lovely shoes Grumpy.

Dhl man finally turned up...

Lovely Kors boots. They are very nice but a bit welly like on me.
Oh joy... the boot hunt continues...

Words cannot describe how lovely these are irl... They are lovely, but absolutely huge! :(
I have found them for a similar price online from the us.
But I need to decide whether to get a half or full size smaller.

Shop did you want the Sam Edelman Gracie flip flop?
I've found them for 32 plus taxes.

Charli top is really nice, it's a lovely nude colour. Probably a keeper.

Charli grey cardi is nice, incredibly long sleeves which makes a change. Probably keep this too.

Another Charli cardigan, is nice but it's a shade of brown that i'm not sure is the right colour for me.

There was also 3 other Charli tee's Blush but they aren't nice... too thin, see through (and not in a nice way) and quite short too.

Drywhiteplease · 13/06/2013 20:36

Right oh....have loads of coke, Thanks for the tip everyone

Annianni · 13/06/2013 20:39

Whistles grey sweat I ordered today.

Shop's lovely grey quilted sweatshirt that i've liked for ages.

I tried this recently but I think i've gone off it already :o

And i've ordered this to try with jeans... but I suspect the yellow part will make it look like maternity wear on me.

I did want this silk top, I tried it recently and it's lovely... but it's not in the sale.

mignonette · 13/06/2013 20:43

Grumpy

I think you might be my first MNVogue successful recommendation!
Good luck at the races- was there a toast to Henry Cecil?

DryWhite

Agree with the flat full fat coke or flat Lucozade. No dairy for a few days as can irritate also. Basic advice though is if you fancy eating something, try it.

Anni I think my lower legs and ankles would look a little marooned in those Kors boots as good as they look on screen.

Linus those colour boards are beautifully composed but how does she find the time to pin all that? I waste enough time on it....

Queen am loving the colour combo board. Some interesting and fresh ideas there and reminders of old favourites too.

Am waiting for the 'Secret Life of Cats' Horizon programme to come on at 9 tonight-very much looking forward to this.

shopafrolic · 13/06/2013 20:46

I liked this one Anni

Gah!
And no, I found those Sam Edelman's for someone else. Just can't remember who.......

OP posts:
Annianni · 13/06/2013 20:55

I liked that too Shop, but the back is polyester.
Thought it might be a bit sweaty.

shopafrolic · 13/06/2013 20:58

Good all Anni I have more than enough grey sweatshirts! Even though Amber says there's no such thing!

OP posts:
LinusDKD · 13/06/2013 20:58

Am taping it Mignonette so I can watch it later. Bedtime for me, night night.

Drywhiteplease · 13/06/2013 21:12

Great shopping everyone.

AmberNectarine · 13/06/2013 21:12

I have 6 grey sweatshirts. Is probably enough. I want a grey hoodie though.

Am Watching Ultimate Shopper - my favourite show. Brixton Smith-Start (aka who I want to be when I grow up) is on it!

AmberNectarine · 13/06/2013 21:13

Fucking autocorrect

shopafrolic · 13/06/2013 21:13

What channel is that on Amber?
