QueenC my DH's phrase is " we're battening down the hatches".....what the heck? I just nod and ignore 
One not aggressive, pro active, it all depends on how you talk to them I think.
McNally I think of the calories, and it does make for some good memories .....and the evening glass of wine tastes all the better for it.
Foxy you sound like my DH.you are right though, healthier to live in cooler houses with fresh air but I wouldn't say that to DH!

I can wreck things just making toast! I have (to add to my massive list of medical complaints, I swear, I'm genuine) almost no peripheral vision so I'm forever sticking my arm in the butter tub or knocking it on my shoes or something like that! I am a disaster zone in the kitchen truth be told though I do a mean steak!

Oh I squeak and run away too One but I hated (and still hate) this manager with a vengeance. Oh the times I have been tempted to name and shame him on Mn. I did whistle blow on him though and he was removed from patient care.
Topaz Welcome home. I do hope your DD gets what she needs tomorrow. It is such an awful day each year, the day before.....We haven't had a major underwear discussion on here lately so maybe we could hear about your new knickers? Kind of tell but don't show if you like?

24 amber! That's what my parents house is like. I get hot and bothered just thinking about it.
Well done on the three week mark. Are you avoiding blogs and shopping sites too? What if something amazing came up on the outnet?!

DD has gone out now with her friends, no doubt they will be winding each other up!
Foxy I got the blue one that McNally, and I think someone else (Marsha?) has. A lovely colour.
I'm afraid the knickers were a boring M&S multipack, mig. I like matching sets. Fantasie seem to do the right shape bra for me like this. I usually buy 2 pairs of knickers for each new bra but I supplement with plain M&S.
While I was there, I also bought pyjamas, which also don't count 
.
Foxy I would buy the boots when you find a pair you love. Even if they are reduced later, you will get so much wear out of them that it won't matter too much. Conversely, if you wait, don't worry about missing out because there will always be new ones to fall in love with! Either way, enjoy shopping for them!

Lost this thread last night smartphone issues but now caught up. I think this thread is bad for my wallet as it just give me ideas! Things I like buying - bags, shoes - I am encouraged to look at even more than usual. And things I am less confident about - tops - well, it just opens my eyes to the possibilities out there. I will have to join topaz ,queen , amber on a spending ban soon....and I still haven't sorted my beach clothes shopping for our hol in last week of Aug. As soon as I have got rid of the work that I am currently doing, am hotfooting it to Westfield to focus on swimsuits, beach cover up things and anything else that happens to be there.
Foxy totally admire you for your boot foresightedness. Are these proper long or warm boots, not just ankle boots? I am just not able to imagine beyond ankle boot weather at the moment (no imagination sadly 
)
novice going back to to that bag thread. I think it is obvious that men and women with an eye for these things (ie not my dad) notice well designed/made things -I always notice people's jewellery (any style, real, fake whatever) because I love jewellery. Of course things that are good quality and well designed will attract attention. And of course some of time these things will be expensive because of those very qualities. I spend hours looking in kitchenware shops at all the different scandinavian coffee flasks etc. The brand names usually mean nothing to me but often always the things I am drawn to most are the priciest.
One Hope you are feeling a little better this afternoon. It is totally acceptable to ask for feeback re your course. If they aren't providing it, it probably means it is on the to do list of the person responsible, but you should feel totally cool about asking for it. It is important to you and there is no reason to feel shy about bringing it up again.

Foxy are they the boots you have pinned (and I have repinned!!!). If so, and you can afford them, then I think they would be worth the money. They are fantastic and will look good for years. I have been debating them but they are not work suitable so I don't think I'd get the wear from them but as a SAHM I think you would potentially wear them almost every day from mid Sept to mid April. If they are the ones I think they are by my reckoning I think you could get the CPW down to about £2 per day by April!!! Below that even
And absolutely, music, books, underwear and skin/hair products don't count on spending bans!!!

I haven't pinned them liberty, partly because there are only a few pairs left in my size and partly because of my style stalker. if I do buy them I will pin/link then

Foxy good decision - but just so you know I have been deliberating over a pair you have pinned for days!!! And I should not buy them, too expensive and I'd only wear them once a week at best - this thread is hell at times
