MN vogue vol 14

[QueenCadbury]

Following on from vol 13

More evidence of deranged PMT'ness - the shirt is actually white background with navy hearts!! But the overall impression is dark blue. Still gorgeous though. It's hidden in the bottom of the wardrobe until I can muster the courage to tell DH what it cost - actually I may lie and say it was in the sale .

Grumpy I love those earrings! V sunshine appropriate.

How awful is today's weather? Wearing Tommy Hillfiger straight leg jeans, lovely shocking pink Gap sweater I got from Shop, grey and yellow NB's, pink, blue and green floral scarf from Oasis and the Whistles biker.

Thanks Mig - had very good advise from GP. Will pm you later actually...

Diet abandoned for this week - have eaten loads and yet have lost 0.5kg when I weighted myself this morning. Have done a lot of walking though as I need the exercise to work off the feelings of angst.

weighed not weighted!!! How insane would weighting yourself be????? (unless you're a jockey)

I can sympathize with the PMT liberty mine used to be terrible. I ended up having the implant so that it would stop my periods altogether because I was bat shit crazy (more so than normal that is) for 10-12 days out of the month. I really couldn't cope with the PMT at all. I had every test imaginable as there were lots of symptoms apart from just the hormonal mood swings, it was very rough so you have my utmost sympathies.

Today's outfit is all black except for a cheeky red bow in my hair. Can't decide if I should wear my black shoes or break out the thundercats converse for a bit of contrast

Morning all. Another hormonal crazy woman here . It is amazing how you can go from being completely sane to completely crazy overnight!

I'm suffering peppa pig overload this morning. Dd2 is not herself at all and is having quiet cuddles on the sofa. She's a bit snotty and I think her last 2 teeth are coming though bless her.

I'm full of body self loathing today. My tummy is still really bruised but also where they filled me with air my skin has stretched and made the stretch marks really prominent again and it all looks really flabby again as well. I haven't been able to exercise since last week either as it's still sore and even pushing the buggy on the school run makes it hurt. Hopefully next week I can start shredding again.

liberty glad I'm not t he only one who hides purchases from dh!

Hello ladies...

Sorry I disappeared for a bit, but i've been feeling a bit crap down recently. I'm not happy with how I look at the moment, clothes that I bought a couple of months ago, don't fit... but I can't seem to get my head into gear and sort things out.

I'm getting dressed in the morning, and not feeling nice.

Anyway...

Shop, so sorry you've had a lousy time with dh.
Hope you manage to sort things out.
I actually told dh I was leaving a few weeks ago... but then he pointed out that I had nowhere to go :o

Marsha... on the job front. But you did the right thing if it was like that. Enjoy the childcare that's booked while you can.

Liberty, I know how you feel... I think we need to see your new purchase. Do what I do and take a photo in the bathroom to pin.

Decam, great jeans (as usual)
Have you used that lovely new Anya yet?

QueenC hope you get back to normal soon.

Mig please stop pinning icecream... i've eaten a tub of cookie dough Haagen Daaz (sp) in less than 24 hours and it's all your fault

Dry, love your new friend, she's so pretty!

Foxy, love the khaki cargo's. They are very nice.

Amber, hope the arm's better. Love the zebra shirt... it's fab.

Novice, well done with the charity. Such a lovely thing to do.

Hello to the newbies, hello to Sleep, Santa and One

Linus, how is ds?

Who've I missed?

Ds2 had both lips bust at the weekend (the second time that's happened)
Ds1 keeps leaping across the room onto his bed, whilst ds2 is on the bed.
I keep telling him he's too big to do that with ds2 about, but he doesn't listen

I've done bits of shopping lately, i'll link in a bit.

Whistles jacket i've ordered to try.

Whistles khaki jacket I bought last week, but am undecided on.
It looks nice with jeans (and the Jenny's) though.

Ebay bargain Goldsign's for £23. Bit too snug at the moment, but the should nicely fit if/when I get my arse into gear.

This is due today, along with a couple of Becksondergaard (sp) scarves to try from Asos.

I bought this in marl grey last week for a whole £6-99, so i've ordered the white to try.

Gap have an extra 20% off sale again today, with the code EXTRA20.

Also ordered another pair of the deconstructed jeans that me, QueenCand 40bum have... but i've ordered a bigger size as mine don't fit at the moment but they've only cost about a tenner, so I can't complain really.

I got this Whistles pale grey marl top last week, to hide behind... it's very loose.

Also really comfy pink shoes they are very bright, and I want to wear them with denim and grey, like QueenC's pin

I did order 2 bags from Atterley Road, but they weren't nice irl, and got sent straight back.

Yay great to have you back Anni. I ate a tub of ice cream this week too

What's with all our collective PMT, relationship angst's, weight etc - I am blaming the lack of sun - we all need a massive dose of vit D and some days of lunching outdoors with

Anni I saw the Whistles Mila jacket in store yesterday and it is gorgeous. Feels lovely and a great shape - I was so tempted.

Love that pin.

Hi Anni great to see you, lovely stuff as usual. Love the pink and khaki.

Liberty and QueenC sorry to hear about horrendous pmt. We'll all be synching soon .

Ah I am relishing the rain for a change. Sports Day cancelled so Dh and I are home, I know ds1 will be pleased too.

I think we may be synchronising our cycles- like Nuns. Well, shopping Nuns anyway.

I have to keep pinning Ice creams- it is a soothing device. I do apologise. Not enough to stop though ...I eat a small bowl nearly every day -about 5 times a week but I only have three tablespoons, mix it with tons of fruit/nuts and put it in a little bowl. Never ever eat out of the tub. I make a lot of my own so can use tricks to lower fat/calories like using Stevia, emulsificants other than cream or milk and whacking in other lower calorie ingredients. Eating it plain like Vanilla increases intake because it melts in the mouth and there's no chew. You use less effort to eat it and so consume more. That is my theory anyway.

AnniAnni I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling so good. I can't imagine that there's a single person on here that doesn't empathise and I bet we've all been there. I like the jacket and the slouchy tops which are comforting and forgiving of body issues whether perceived or actual. i know my own perception/evaluation can be skewed because DH will say spontaneously that he thinks I am looking particularly good/well and it'll not always coincide with how I feel I look. But a few extra pounds can wreck havoc on ones confidence can't they?

Liberty Glad GP took you seriously. They do not always do this with PMS do they? I have to watch a few of my clients very carefully around PMS time as it sometimes slings a wrecking ball through management of conditions like BiPolar and some personality and affect combinations.

Mig - be my guest - they are lovely aren't they - and what a reduction!

I am with you 100% - I just don't get the whole Delvingne thing at all, her and Rita Ora just arsing about at everything gives me proper ball ache. I actually have pics on my phone of Arizona Muse from pausing the TV during her Vuitton ad, I was taking them to the hairdresser for inspiration. Then I remembered that, even with an identical haircut I would still look like me, not her She is magnificent.

I have noticed those delicious ice cream pins Mignon they are gorgeous. I find it all very soothing.

Shop did you find a necklace?

I've not seen it irl Liberty, but I snapped it up when they added more lines to the sale yesterday.

My lena jacket's are too snug at the moment, so I don't know if it'll fit yet.

The AV grey top just came, and there's nooo way it'll fit, so it'll go straight back.
The scarves are nice but they're the cotton ones and feel a bit stiff, so i'll probably send them back too. They are lovely and big though.

I don't mind Cara but so many shots of her crossing her eyes and pulling a funny face! Also not keen on that whole Rita and Cara stuff the dm touts. (Not that I have to look of course).

Big fan of Arizona Muse too, love the shots by Victor someone.

nice to have you back anni,and sorry to hear you have been feeling lousy lately, BELIEVE me we ALL have been like that,and i love your khaki jacket,

im another pms victim that turns into a complete monster a week before AF,i just want to start a fight with anyone.

liberty i love agnes b,and its wise to not remove tags,incase you want to return it.

mig i love frozen yoghurt ,will try the waitrose one.

queeni wish DD would watch pippa,its the wiggles and barney at our house.i hate the i love you song,i always skip it,im not a bad mummy i swear,its just better for my sanity to not hear it .

The trouble with Cara is that however good she looks, she is everywhere and it's getting a bit tedious. DD1 loves her.

Mmmmmmmm. Ice cream pies. Now I know what I want for lunch.

I can imagine she's a hit with the youngsters.

Watching Wmbledon, Stakhovsky and his wife are really sweet.

Anni sorry to hear you've been feeling a bit down. I am not good on calorie reduced diets but am a big fan of low carb. I feel awful when I don't do it and feel so much better when I do. Not sure if you fancy that type of thing.

Who else has grazia? Did you read the artice about the delivigners? I cannot imagine what makes a grown woman travel round the country to try and meet someone famous . And don't get me started on Rita ora, I just don't get her at all. Or alexa. Or Rhianna. Am I just an old grump ?

anni sorry to hear you're not feeling great. As others have said we've all been there. It's amazing how a few extra pounds (or a bruised stretch marked tum! ) can have such an adverse effect on your self esteem.

mig carry on pinning ice cream. It does nothing for me at all . Start pinning pictures of Cadbury dairy milk though and I won't be happy .

Dd fell asleep on me and luckily I transferred her to her cot without waking her. santa I'm glad she moved onto peppa. It used to baby jake she was obsessed with and I find him a but freaky!

Thanks Marsha and everyone... I need to sort my head out, there's some things I need to deal with that are making me unhappy, so I eat because i'm upset and I don't exercise... then I hate how I look, which makes me upset again... i'm just going round in circles.
Dh just wants me to be happy.

Shop... are you about?
I need to ask your advice on more bloody boots... shall pm now.

Decam have been meaning to say I love that DvF blouse and think you should get it. So pretty, would look lovely on you.

(Argh so many posts!)

Is that the pink blouse she's pinned lately Marsha?

If yes, then I agree :o

I meant to say, thank you for the idea of giving my friend a cake. I left one and some flowers on her doorstep yesterday. She texted to say it was delicious. I don't think she was lying .

Oh yes decam I love that blouse too.
