MrsRGrin that had me puzzled!!

shopafrolic · 22/07/2013 08:49

Morning all
Novice how do you stay so tiny with all these fab meals out?
A better night's sleep thanks MrsR - Marsha tipped me off to rolling a towel up under his fitted sheet and that seems to be working - he stayed in bed all night - phew!
Warm and sunny again here already - taking DS to a friend's house to meet lots of other mum's and kids for a picnic. Then chores later.

Morning!

So glad it worked Shop. I got the tip off from some where else I thought of course how simple when we used it.

Who's the weather champ? Was it Sleep or Liberty or MrsR. Or perhaps I've totally forgotten. I really hope this weather sticks I love it. Will be drab to go back to a more typical summer. Stay weather!

Thanks so much for birthday wishes, it was a lovely day with great weather, looking forward to lunch part two no dc. My family redeemed themselves by calling again (they rang on Saturday and I thought they'd forgotten!).

Liberty what a great date to have a birthday Grin hope you had a fabulous day.

shopafrolic · 22/07/2013 09:20

Good news about the phone call Marsha - what will you wear for your lunch?
I'm in GAP boyfriend shorts, cream M&S tee, neon cord belt and Havs today - for crawling around with the kids!

Shop lunch will be in a couple of days when all dc away. Not sure yet!

Foxy hope all is ok.

QueenCadbury · 22/07/2013 09:58

novice I'm Envy. I'd love to go there just for the view. There are definately things I miss about living in London.

It's warm and sunny here. I'm a sweaty mess after school and nursery drop off! Shower and then sainsburys. Oh, the glamour.

dry nice dress.

I think it's liberty who gets the long term weather as part of her job. It'll be Sod's law if this weather breaks come Wednesday when the dc finish school.

I assume no-one has heard from mig? I emailed her and no reply. Hope she's ok.

I'm strangely excited by the royal baby coming...

Turquoiseblue · 22/07/2013 10:00

Dress is winging it s way back to atterly road :-( , but to console myself I nabbed some lovely denim in doña Ida

foxysocks · 22/07/2013 11:18

hello. thanks so much for well wishes re: work and checking up on me - am fine just v busy, and I suspect a lurker IRL. lots of bits posted on here/pin keep cropping up on same person, am a bit freaked out by it!

Decameron · 22/07/2013 13:02

Freaky, Foxy!

My jeans are out of stock, grrr.

Drywhiteplease · 22/07/2013 14:04

Foxy I'm rubbish at social media.....keep forgetting about lurkers and I give out too much info. I read a thread that said there are some people on MN who keep spread sheets on posters to see if what they say tallies up. Apart from that being a bit sad, it's a bit stalkerish and freaked me out completely!

QueenCadbury · 22/07/2013 14:11

No way dry do people really do that Shock. Why?? Rest assured that I'm not keeping any spreadsheets on any of you. Besides not having the knowledge to do so, I have absolutely no inclination to Grin

santamarianovella · 22/07/2013 14:19

OMG! dry thats sad and stalkerish at the same time!

foxy thats really freaky!,

Hi everyone..and happy birthday Marsha and Liberty
You know you have too much stress in your life when you forget you have booked a holiday!

Radio silence from me because I am in Corsica /South of France on my holiday- a holiday that slipped my mind until two days before we were due to go. I had no interwebby this last week as travelling round the canyons of the south French coastline (Verdun) but now we are in the Citadel in Corsica, I have been able to post.

I'm really sorry for not posting. My niece is steadily improving- they said she had no swallow or suck reflex but bless her, she's trying valiantly to breastfeed and is off all her lines/catheters apart from heart/resp monitors. She is so so determined, has opened her big violet blue eyes and cries. My Brother has asked that i pass on his thanks to you all for your kind words and hopes.

My flowers lasted well and I have pressed the roses. The Statice has tooted too. I am due home the 31st and will read and catch up on all your posts. Love to you all and enjoy the British sun-hotter in the UK than here I believe!

shopafrolic · 22/07/2013 14:44

Lots of fab Goat dresses on the Outnet today......

QueenCadbury · 22/07/2013 14:50

Hey mig good to hear from you. Can't believe you forgot such a gorgeous sounding holiday! So pleased about your niece, it sounds like she's doing really well. Enjoy the rest of your time away Smile

mignonette · 22/07/2013 15:01

I muddled the date up, wrote the wrong departure on my kitchen calendar (troglodyte) and because we drove down then got the ferry to Corsica, the dates weren't so ingrained in our heads.....The clothes the women and men wear here are so luxe and Parisien on vacances- really Riviera. They do dress like that, they really do with the sweater over the shoulders.....

Parisisalwaysagoodidea · 22/07/2013 15:10

Happy belated birthday Liberty and Marsha

Sorry to hear about university One. What's for you won't go by you so try again next year. Hope your BIL is doing ok.

Lovely to hear from you Mig. Excellent news about your niece.

Great links everyone and fab insights into your glam lives. I have been working, working, working (yawn). I went out on saturday night for a friends birthday and wore the infamous Zara skort, black silk vest, turqoise kimono and Jeffrey Campbell sandals. I also tried out a new lippie, Mystic by Sleek makeup. Lots of compliments.

I have another birthday to go to next week and fancied a summery, printed pencil skirt to wear with a v necked black cami and black, block heeled strappy sandals and plumped for this. I'm collecting tomorrow from HOF. Hope it fits!

mignonette · 22/07/2013 15:18

Sorry to hear about the university One. Please keep plugging on, you will get your hard work rewarded, I do believe that- wise words from Paris. Sending my hopes and best wishes regarding your BIL too.

And BTW I am wearing gold braided flat sandals two years old from Carvella, a Khaki green mid thigh inverted pleat skirt from Red Herring, a silk sleeveless pleated vest top by Helmut Lang in a pale Primrose yellow and a scarf round my salt destroyed hair by Edina Ronay.

libertychick · 22/07/2013 15:28

Welcome back Mig - hope you are having a lovely holiday.

Happy Birthday Marsha!! Not actually the same birthday - mine was Saturday! But close enough Smile. Thanks all for all the good wishes.

Had a great weekend - apart from getting all tearful on Sunday morning when few people cancelled on my birthday bbq - how sodding childish - I assumed I'd be above that sort of thing at 40!!! But never mind - the majority came, the sun was shining and practically everyone brought bubbles so happy times!

I have the colleague who gets long range forecasts - not at work today but will find out tomorrow.

My Me&Em order arrived too - same reaction as Decam ruched skirt is fab, the ruched top is really itchy so has gone back. Dec I tried the skirt with the Whistles Lena jacket as you suggested and it looks great Thanks

And the French Connection dress wasn't in the shop on Saturday. I wore black jeans and my lovely Agnes B shirt.

One I like your New Look dress and coat - I never spot anything in there. One of my friend's yesterday was wearing black trousers from NL, 100% cotton with gold ankle zips - they looked really, really good.

libertychick · 22/07/2013 15:30

MrsR Fantastic shoe shopping!

santamarianovella · 22/07/2013 15:35

hi mig so glad everything is alright ,a holiday is exactly what you need after all the stress you had lately,Corsica sounds fab. enjoy!

shopafrolic · 22/07/2013 15:42

Welcome back Mig
Does anyone know when the Outnet summer clearance was last year? They've started to say coming soon on their Facebook page - I just wondered if it's days or weeks away......
