Crepe Expectations

[Cremolafoam]

Will this do?

Christmas shopping
The problem for me is I have a string of 10 family birthdays before Christmas, so double gift buying
Nah think ill leave it til later cv
Although I admire you're organisation immensely . I'm going to be reclining in my bath chair post op anyway innit so Amazon will have to be my friend.
I'm going to try and do a big eBay soon. If its not strapped down its going up for auction. There is too much crap in this house that needs to go.

Probably too late but I did think of this MrsS for the cats here -we use the dog version on our travel sick dog...

That BTM is precisely why I don't buy school uniform until just before ds goes back!! He is right size/age for the moment - except he apparently needs to double his waist size....

Any eye-candy, MrsS?

Yes, well I deliberately bought it too big. I suppose it fits now - will just have to see how long for!

:)
I had a blazer I never grew into!

I am planning on picking up a Feliway spray for the journey back in the car, BD.

No eye candy, BTM, but they are all a bit pungent.

Hope it works MrsS
So it's true the French don't wash ;) ?

Grr boiler man has cancelled.... He won't be getting the bathroom fitting work.....

BD, my French friend's teen didn't seem to, but all my friends do, thankfully

Shame on boiler man.

Mrs s if you can get a sedative pill for kitties I'd recommend it.

Tres annoying, but as he is halfway through the job (of fitting the boiler) we will have to grit our teeth and get it finished...

I worked with a French girl who was always beautifully dressed but did not have a close acquaintance with deodrant, or, it would seem, soap.....

The kitten is shut in DD2's room. I hope we don't have a dirty protest. The vet has advised against sedation for the journey. I did have one cat who fought against the sedative. She was screaming from the top of the curtains and we had to carefully remove her (wearing ski gloves).

Oh mrs s maybe not then

at "pungent" removal men.

I find there is rarely any totty quotient when it comes to removal men; ours are inevitably wizened, ancient and grumpy.

Tree surgeons, however.....

Yes, I do apologise about the Christmas shopping, but we do have a vast family, so if I can strike off several of the menfolk in Ralph Lauren Outlet and a swathe of neices and nephews in Gap and White Company then that's what I'm gonna do. I will also be logging into Amazon in early December to mop up the remainder.

And I've booked Monday off to do the school uniform shop - talk about leaving it late.

Although I did spot a nice little tip on MN the other day, and have booked a Clarks shoe-fitting appointment online. No queuing with a numbered ticket for me!

CV, my cousin is a tree surgeon Not in your neck of the woods though, boom, boom!

Had a fairly stressful trip to Decathlon with DS who of course wanted all the expensive stuff, plus there was virtually nothing left in black - school colours for many, obviously, although we had to get medium men's for size. Gulp.

I tried on the most perfect grey cashmere cardigan today- asymetric and unusual a perfect fit luxe and divine.
Ha ! It was £178
Boo
In my dreams

Crem - your mistake was trying it on!

I know.
I will be dreaming about it now and fantasising how I am unable to live without it. Bolleaux....

Or hope that the local charidee shop gets one in stock soon!
Talking of which, this afternoon I spotted someone wearing a top very like one I had donated to a local charity shop. She looked great in it

Btm I so doubt it on the charity shop front. Even our posh barnardos ( labels only) prides itself on its 'Poor Una' selection.
Blee. It is awash with lime swirl fabrics

Crem - can you buy it and justify the outlay on a "cost per wear" basis?

Crem, if I am in that situation. I just spend a moment considering how long it would be before the garment got a hole/stain/shrank and this cures me of the desire to purchase it. Although this may only work for a klutz like me.

Our tree surgeon (note to self: remember not to buy house with lots of bastard expensive trees in the garden next time) is very nice but not v tasty. The accountant, however, has a remarkably tasty sidekick...

Stropps we're the same with the bastard trees. If I had even noticed them when we moved in( I was too busy skipping around the house saying look its almost The Country!)
We'd never have considered it.
Last quote for chopping tops of boundary hedge/ trees was £2000

Re Le pull . I'm too scruffy to justify said item . It would have spag Bol down it after a day followed by copious weepage.
