Page 2 Shock don't they know who we are? !!

Right operation-get-ready-for-night-out begins.......love this bit

shopafrolic · 19/07/2013 14:05

Bloody hell Dry what does that involve to start now?
Marsha outfit sounds ace. Shame about the work.....
I've been to the garden centre (glamorous right?) So no style news but family BBQ tonight so will risk a dress for the occassion. Perhaps the Me&em grecian. I sympathise with the cooking Liberty we've got 16 adults plus kids next weekend.

I hadn't posted for a while as I had nothing to say Grin. Outfits consists of whichever shorts and vest top is clean, no new purchases as am going to try very hard not to buy anything prior to London visit and no exciting nights out to outfit plan for!

LinusDKD · 19/07/2013 14:11

Not enjoying the sunshine unfortunately but packing. Have I already mentioned that I HATE it with a passion.

I've put all our stuff on the dining room table (and chairs, and floor) and now it's up to DH to fit it into suitcases and in the boot of the car. Ha!

I could do with a drink but we have a 850 km trip ahead of us so maybe not a good idea.

Enjoy your evening out dry!

Your outfit sounds fabulous marsha, I hope the interview went well.

Drywhiteplease · 19/07/2013 14:21

Oh shop it takes me exactly 45mins (inc washing and drying hair) to get ready......but I've got a free afternoon and I love just doing it slowly.....
Shower and hair....25mins
Break for cool drink
nails and Marie Claire will take at least an hour
Make cuppa ....20 mins
Then choosing alternative footwear to Gigis Sad could take a long time!
Titivating makeup can take a while too.
It can last hours...........

santamarianovella · 19/07/2013 14:28

shop and liberty,i can feel your pain,but i find cooking for adults is so much easier than cooking for kids.

marsha fab outfit,hope it goes well.

dry i cant possibly believe that it takes you that long! your beauty personified .

linus thats a long way! it reminds me of our summer trips to south of france when i was a kid. i hope you got the entertainment for the dcs covered,otherwise it will be...well you know! Grin

Drywhiteplease · 19/07/2013 14:36

Have you been on the Wine santa ?!!!!

santamarianovella · 19/07/2013 14:45

still early for that! no, seriously your gorgeous!,have decided on an alternative to the gigis ?

LinusDKD · 19/07/2013 14:51

Yup, a very long way. But we choose to travel at night, that way the children sleep most of the way.

We usually leave after their bath when it's their usual bedtime, but this time we are leaving a bit earlier so hopefully we get there by midnight.

dry I am looking forward to getting ready for a night out in NY without having to rush because of DS and DD needing to be fed, changed, bathed and put to bed.

Drywhiteplease · 19/07/2013 14:55

Not really....
I have red strappy sandals with ankle strap and a chunky but not too chunky heel which might look in between no too full on glamour.
Or I have black stilletto sandals for full on vavavroom...
Nude kitten heeled sling backs a possibility but always feel a bit meh in nude.
Or...v pointy LK Bennet red suede stilettos ...but so pointy I feel a bit Rumplestiltskin in them, damn sexy shoes though

Annianni · 19/07/2013 14:58

Afternoon all...

It's all the bra threads, kicking us off page 1 how dare they

We've had an impromptu day out... school text at 8am saying they were shut today, so we went to the new sea life place in Manchester.
So glad I didn't make any cakes yesterday!

We took ds2 to the place last week when dh was off work and he loved it.

We've done lots a bit of shopping, had a go on the merry-go-round and just got home... both boys loved it.

I got a cardigan in the sale that I'd had my eye on, and a white vest to add to my collection.

Hope the interview went well Marsha

And that you're feeling better about the work thing today Foxy.

Is your house still tidy Sleep?

Have a fab trip Linus.

And have a drink for me tonight please Dry.

So sorry One, try again next year.

Annianni · 19/07/2013 15:04

Who've I missed?

Rather you than me Shop and Liberty...
I love cooking but hate entertaining (luckily dh feels the same)

We've been invited to a party next weekend, but fortunately it's on the day that I'll start decorating.
I've told dh to go with the ds's and he swore at me wasn't too keen on that idea :o

Annianni · 19/07/2013 15:06

Hello QueenC and Santa...

... think that's everyone...

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2013 15:06

lol Anni that made me laugh Grin

Interview was good, I am on shortlist apparently but, you know what's coming next... I'm not sure it is for me.

I think I'll hang around to see what happens with the flexible working from home one. Just much better (and more interesting work too) and I get to do the other stuff, which I don't want to lose.

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2013 15:07

The swearing dh part that is Grin

Ok am catching up too now..

libertychick · 19/07/2013 15:09

I have a feeling the thread will be quiet now for a few weeks, good weather, school holidays and shops full of sales tat and just too hot to seriously think about A/W clothes - let's not have a repeat of last christmas though when we went quiet for a whole week and almost lost the thread!!!

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2013 15:13

Dry I love the afternoon of the night ahead. Especially if I've the the time to swan around sans dc before hand Grin

Shop 16 is loads. What will you cook?

Linus love that dh has to fit it all. Good one Grin I hope the trip is as good as it can be.

Ah Grumpy what a shame about the J Crew dress.

I know Liberty hmm well, I watched the worst movie last night Cloud Atlas I do not recommend. Also I am planning some seriously long lunches this holidays and really looking forward to all of them. Grin

I might buy one last little summer dress.

santamarianovella · 19/07/2013 15:46

ani,your comment made me laugh! DH would be furious too!

marsha I love those long lunches!,I'm having one with some friends next weekend,can't wait!

linus that's a good idea, hope it goes well, travelling through Europe at daytime is a nightmare,specially at checkpoints.

dryhave lots of fun!

shopafrolic · 19/07/2013 16:03

Burgers Marsha, and sausages, and prawns, and halloumi and veg skewers and anything else I can BBQ!!!!! If it rains by next weekend I shall top myself!

shopafrolic · 19/07/2013 16:03

Have you got your eye on anything Marsha?

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 19/07/2013 16:34

Shop sounds yum!

Santa isn't it the best? A combination of weather, dressing up and socialising.

I don't know on the dress. It was Grumpy's mention of J Crew ones on sale. I might have a peruse, or as it's so late in the season just keep an eye on the outnet.

Drywhiteplease · 19/07/2013 16:47

shop I love halloumi on the BBQ

Drywhiteplease · 19/07/2013 17:41

a random Reiss dress

OneLittleLady · 19/07/2013 17:57

Love that Reiss dress dry I'm debating whether or not it's the wrong shape for me....
