Quick catch up this evening.

foxy are you having an island? Are you painting it a different colour? We've got creamy beige painted wooden units and then the island is grey/purpley type colour. I was a bit Hmm initially when the painter suggested it especially as I have a different granite o the island but I love it. I'm now considering getting it painted red. Re hunters, I've got purple and I love them. Will never get bored of them but it's my fave colour. If I had to go neutral I would do navy.

anni total respect to you. I wouldn't even consider wallpapering a dolls house let alone a real life ceiling Grin

shop are you keeping both coats now? Do you really need black boots? Will they fit into your wardrobe? I find I don't wear mine much with blue jeans and I prefer my grey. I'd really like navy or mole.

Hi, just checking in while my nails dry before DH and I head out. We had yet another disturbed night with DC's last night, both really under the weather and so were actually looking for a hotel to book into to go to, order room service and just sleeeep...but couldn't find anything nice for less than £350, a bit much just to get away from your kids for 8hrsSmile. So we are going for posh Chinese and pretending to stay out so if DC's wake up they will wake up their nanny who is staying over tonight Smile. I am wearing leather trousers, Steven (wang alike) heels with white mottled cotton Gap T and fur coat.

Anni my approach to the arms (assuming no equipment) would be push ups and tricep dips however I suspect regular wallpapering of ceilings would be pretty effective too Grin.

Shop - wait and get the Pistols, you'll regret it if you don't.

Annianni · 14/09/2013 19:59

Thanks Sleep.

Shop was it SHOEACCESS30?

Annianni · 14/09/2013 20:05

Sleep, equipment wise...

I have a treadmill not been used for months
An exercise bike which gets used a couple of times a week at the moment.

And I do have some of those long stretchy pieces of rubber, erm... can't think what they're called... They come in different colours/resistance never used them

Hope you have a great time tonight.

shopafrolic · 14/09/2013 20:16

Code doesn't work anymore. Probably a good thing. Will keep saving.......

Sorry Shop I meant to say earlier, yes still very happy with the Sam Edelman boots. I think the best thing is the heel height which is perfect for me as I do so much walking. The only thing is I did drop some blasted tuna in sunflower oil on the side of the shoe. The things I love - suede and tuna - so clearly do not go together Hmm, I did it to some old KG boots and had to throw them out.

Sleep have a lovely, lovely night. Sounds perfecto.

I am beat, my hair is officially in very annoying stage and has to wait three more days, and I didn't sleep well last night. So am staying, watching a movie with dh and am going to really enjoy it.

shopafrolic · 14/09/2013 20:22

Whatcha watchin?

MarshaBrady · 14/09/2013 20:23

Not sure yet, loading up netflix Grin

Seen anything good lately?

shopafrolic · 14/09/2013 20:26

Sometimes sprinkling talc or cornflour onto oil stains on suede and leaving overnight before brushing off can work apparently? Never tried it myself though.........

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 14/09/2013 20:28

lol I dumped nearly half a packet of flour on the KG ones..

shopafrolic · 14/09/2013 20:29
Grin No idea on movies - sorry. Everything we've watched recently has been rubbish!

Dp is currently watching 'Sharknado' Hmm I have declined joining him and am sat in my music room/computer room with music on

Decameron · 14/09/2013 22:42

Shop, aren't the chestnut pistols in your colours? But I think you said you missed black so yeah, save and wait!

I am so impressed at your DIY prowess, Anni.

Too late now probably Marsha but we have just watched Warm Bodies and it's hilarious.

I love the sound of your kitchen, Foxy and I would go with green hunters. I bought pink hunters for my 5yo today, I am a fan of pink usually but wouldn't go for them for myself!

Hope you catch some zzzz tonight, Sleep.

QueenCadbury · 15/09/2013 07:23

Sounds like you had a good night dry. How you feeling today?

shop jut read my post back and it sounds quite arsey asking you about black boots and I didn't mean to be. Aside from black or very dark denim what do other people wear black boots with? I just find them a bit harsh looking with other colours or paler jeans if that makes sense?

Annianni · 15/09/2013 08:31

Morning all...
I don't have any black boots.
I don't have a need for black boots.
But if the black and chestnut Pistol's had fit me, I would have kept them because they were lovely...

Annianni · 15/09/2013 08:32

How's your head Dry?

Hope you got some sleep Sleep.

Annianni · 15/09/2013 08:33

I'm impressed with my diy prowess Decam! :o

foxysocks · 15/09/2013 08:44

I wear black boots a lot with opqaqus and dresses or skirts.

Also with black or grey skinnies.

QueenCadbury · 15/09/2013 08:48

I'm thinking I need some grey jeans too foxy
