santamarianovella · 18/07/2013 17:13

foxy dont be too hard on yourself,you can not force yourself into something your not completely ok with. it will workout soon.

linus i agree gold strappy sandals,can work with almost anything.

dry your outfit sounds amazing,i cant believe no gigis yet! it always happens to the things you anticipate the most!

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2013 17:52

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!

Me to DS " do you want the bad news or the bad news""
DS "grunt"
Me "your Converse haven't come"
DS " oh my God what am I going to do?"
Me "wear your other trainers/flip flops it's not a big deal...."
Long rant about ordering things well in advance if you need them for a certain date...........
DS " if they come tomorrow can you bring them to school"
Me " it'll cost you"
DS " what's the other bad news?"
Me " my Gigis haven't arrived either"
DS " grunt"
Me" oh my God what am I going to do?"
DS " wear some other shoes?"

Ahhhhhhhhhh!

Drop DS at tennis club......drive back home....what's been delivered????

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2013 17:56

Oh Anni advice from a cake stall pro........go to supermarket,buy best buy un iced fair cakes. Buy Betty Crocker (disgusting) butter icing and some glitter or sprinkles or any sort of kid friendly crap. Pipe onto cakes......done!

shopafrolic · 18/07/2013 18:05

dry I bet it's the Converse! It would be typical.

I like the sound of your outfit with or without Gigis!

foxy don't feel bad, you have made the right choice, even though it was a hard one. (((Hugs)))

I have decided to go with the gold strappy sandals like all of you suggested.

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2013 19:33

Good choice Linus, they sound lovely.

Love that outfit Dry.

Have been swimming and lounging today, had that breakfast with dh we didn't do last week, was really lovely!

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2013 19:35

Yep ladies...of course it was the bloody Converse......it's soooo unfair!! Sad having teenaged strop.........but I do have plenty of other alternatives!

What's going on up thread? Someone being naughty?

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2013 19:36

Silly spam rubbish about something completely unrelated.

Arh to converse!

LinusDKD · 18/07/2013 19:59

Can you spray paint the Converse gold? Wink

OneLittleLady · 18/07/2013 20:09

I didn't get into uni Sad

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2013 20:12

So sorry One

LinusDKD · 18/07/2013 20:15

OneLittleLady · 18/07/2013 20:16

It's ok, I kinda expected not to get in this time around. There's always next year right? Smile

shopafrolic · 18/07/2013 20:42

(((Hugs))) to One and to Foxy. And BrewBrew too.

Shop, I love the shoes, I was more asking would you still like them if the weather wasn't as balmy as it is right nowSmile. You love them, keep them.

GrinGrin at Dry firstly because yesterday you suggested hoovering that feckin bag. Made me giggle out loud and secondly the outfit borrow....so is that the bling or the dress! Wink

I am at home and dh out again tonight. Waiting to see what kind of dh comes home. Either mushy or horny Hmm.

Shop, Marsha thanks for your pms. Will message you later. x

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2013 21:43

Both please Novice if you could just pop them round,I don't live far !
And I'd brace yourself.....after his reaction to your ensemble last night you may be in for a busy night Wink

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2013 21:44

And Shop I PM 'd Mig a couple of days ago and so far no reply, bit concerning really.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 18/07/2013 23:05

Just dropping by to say hello from friggin iPhone. Had quite a day - killed the laptop, don't know how and then the electricity in the office went off so had no landline, broadband or computer. IPad refusing to charge despite trying a couple of different cables on it. Forgot WiFi password at home and phone's 3G kept going off. Felt like I was living in the dark ages and so isolated. The worst of it was that I was trying to buy a dress from J Crew reduced to £34 in the final sale. By the time I got back online, the bastard was completely sold out. Think karma was trying to enforce my lapsed spending ban.

Hope to have a proper catch up tomorrow.

libertychick · 18/07/2013 23:37

Good evening all.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes - it's actually this weekend - I am doing a double celebration - Ireland last weekend, London this weekend - having a 'small' bbq that now involves 24 adults and about 8 kids so I'll be shopping and cooking all day Sat!

Wine for Foxy and one and it sounds like Grumpy needs one too.

Shop you have great legs and the sandals look lovely.

Novice I love your life!!! The Ivy, fab outfit, all that bling and a DH who still thinks you're hot...can I be you for a day sometime? Grin

My Whistles order arrived today. Jacket is a keeper. Thanks to Anni again for the tip off. Snakeprint top is a huge disappointment - lovely print but bizarre fit, tight on the arms, massive on the body - just all wrong. Lounge trousers look awful on me!

Decided to give the 5:2 diet another go so fasted today and it went surprisingly well. Will try for 6 weeks and see how it goes.

shopafrolic · 19/07/2013 13:12

OMG people - we fell onto page 2 of S&B!!! I thought I'd lost you all. Anyone would think you're all enjoying the sunshine!

I think so Shop!

Am wandering around Covent Garden after interview, not sure about the work but I liked my outfit! Acne white shirt, pale Sandro mini and purple Kors calf hair heels.
