Sorry Shop... I've been wrestling with cowboys...

I emailed Whistles and asked about the Grazia promotion.
They said that they are going to do a promotion for A/W but they're not sure when yeah right!
And to sign up for promotional emails.

Does anyone know someone who works at Grazia?
Or are friendly with the staff at their local Whistles store?

Quenc know what you mean about that urge: to feel things, compare between shops etc. Online def convenient, but sometimes less of a thrill.

mig thank you, that's a really kind offer Smile. I think they've got it in hand at work, and I don't want to tread on H's toes IYSWIM? I typed loads more, but it's not really my story to discuss. I know it's playing on H's mind though (it's playing on my mind, and I've never even met the poor kid).

shop keep strong, weather keeps changing Smile.

Finger's crossed for you Novice.

I grew up in a huge house like that, and we had the most amazing games of hide and seek! :o

I may have accidentally ordered a couple of things from the dressingroom, after seeing Amber's blog earlier...

Colours is next weekend queenc, looking forward to it.
mig I really like those san edelmans you have, and you seem to get a lot of wear out of them.
Sorry for not catching up properly, am on phone.

MrsR The Edelmans are very sturdy but also glamorous and smart enough for work. They do lift an outfit and aren't too shiny. Between them, My Hasbeens and the &Other Stories sandals I have been pretty well covered this S/S. I'm not a fan of heels at work-too impractical for what I do.

Also have collection of raddled fabric Espadrilles too-one pair very stinky after treading in the pond whilst on my allotment!

Thanks ShopGrin so happy! I have instructed the solicitors, bank and surveyors to crack on.

Its 120 years and has most of the original features so it will be an interesting style challenge! It's 5300 square feet so quite large.

No, not listed Shop! Which is good because there is one small structural change we want to make.

have replied shop

am having an awful day. fell down the stairs last night and am in a lot of pain in my hamstring and lower back. I cannot BELIEVE this has happened two days before the biggest yoga week I have ever had to do. am close to tears and have been all day.

so whether I can come to the MU is totally up in the air. but tbh I am more - and massively - concerned about the yoga. that is my priority and if I can't do it I will be so so so gutted.
