Had a good catch up while on hold to HMRC (17 minutes and counting). I've had a self assessment statement telling me I owe an amount which equates to 8 months take home pay for the year Shock. Hoping it's wrong...

hi all,
foxy great shorts, and get the yoga bunny tee !

queen wearing red /black with denim is nice actually!

linus i love red lipsticks,but the only one that suits me is red tango by estee lauder,tried many reds by mac but they dont match my skin tone.

liberty its good to hear you got your sanity back Grin ,im about to get my AF, and i feel awful!.

Yay liberty glad the real you is back. I'm happy to say that I am too (the 11h sleep definately helped).

So what's going on with this weather? I thought we were meant to be having sunshine all week. I may not need to search for sandals on Saturday after all.

linus I'm a bit like you with lipstick. I put on the red today but kept blotting and blotting it till it looked no more than a lip tint. I was brave last Friday night though and went out with full on bright pink lips.

Liberty and QueenC am v Envy of your good moods. I am a horror today and the day is going just how I'd feared it would. Living up to my name big time.

Have come onto MNV for some light relief. Show me something lovely!

I tried Googling Eddie Redmayne eating chocolate but no joy. So here's more Eddie.

Kind of shop but not properly. So far the list is:
Day dress or 2
Knee high boots to go with dresses (ankle boots may be more on trend but not with my stumpy legs)
Grey handbag (been searching for months so may never find it. Any have to resort to stone/mole colour)
Cords but not skinny in grey/navy or burgundy type colour
Cobalt jumper
Emerald cardigan
Birthday dress!!!

and could you paste a pic of michael fassbender or henry cavill ?im sure others would appreciate some variety!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 04/07/2013 13:17

Feeling much better now mainly thanks to Channing Tatum in a cowboy hat Le Redmayne doesn't hurt either Grin

But you have made me hungry with the chocolate recipes, so I'm going to leave my godforsaken office and go home for some lunch now. And I ain't coming back today - no way.

Looking forward to catching up with AW chat later

BrandyAlexander · 04/07/2013 13:23

I am suspicious that we have cycle synchronicity on this thread. My period has just started Hmm. bloated look doesn't work with this dress! I am speaking later in front of 200 people. Can I suck my stomach in for 45 mins?Shock

BrandyAlexander · 04/07/2013 13:25

Ps where has hopefully gone? Is she okay? She hasn't discovered real life has she?Shock

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 04/07/2013 13:25

my favourite man in the world

MarshaBrady · 04/07/2013 13:30

Yep we're synching alright! Count me in.

Grumpy I'll find a pick of Don or something to add to your collection.

Hopefully is on fb I think she's busy, may be it is rl stuff.

Getting warmer now, am hot.

AmberNectarine · 04/07/2013 13:32

Hopefully has been on holiday, the lazy bint!

McNally · 04/07/2013 13:35

Mmmmmmm, Henry Cavill.

santamarianovella · 04/07/2013 13:38

grumpy you cant move from channing to mayer! thats blasphemy!

Thanks McNally

OneLittleLady · 04/07/2013 13:38

novice you may be right about the cycle thing, mine started yesterday Hmm I'm a pastry craving bloated mess right now [sexy]

In fashion news, I just got back from the shops where I bagged a dark grey, draped Jersey Biba dress for a whole £7.50 Grin I love our little house of fraser outlet, it's an absolute goldmine if you're not fussed about wearing things out of season

Parisisalwaysagoodidea · 04/07/2013 13:48

Well done on the £7.50 Biba dress One. I've just seen it on Pinterest. Don't worry, you'll probably be able to wear winter clothes in another month or so!

DH is off on holiday to Nice and Barcelona next week Envy. He's going to buy me some new perfume and I can't decide between Acqua Di Parma Colonia Original or Assoluta. Any opinions?

Also, does anyone know where I can get a pair of these sunglasses?

OneLittleLady · 04/07/2013 13:49

I wear winter clothes all year round Paris I am apparently a 'goth' after all Grin
