Hello everyone, we had some friends staying this weekend, was lovely but now crashed on the sofa after getting very tired DC's into bed. I have been sort of keeping up with you all, some lovely links Smile

Shop how are you feeling about selling the house now? Big change!

Santa the wine thing was great! Wine and nutrition combined, two of my favourite things Grin. Talk was given by the former wine buyer for the Connaught, very cool and funny French guy. Also an interesting one from Arsenal's nutritionist, interesting stuff and a stunning hotel. I wore the JBrand heels (Linus, pink peonies are the same as mine, in the gold Smile).

You guys getting chatted up in Sainsbo's - well played Grin. Was particularly amused by the large cucumber situation!

Dry my DH has a turbo trainer, he disappears into the garden room to use it for hours in the winter. I think he researched the best one to get quite carefully, do you want me to ask what it is?

Sleepwhenidie · 29/09/2013 20:48

Oh Queen it's really not so bad Sad - just long and a bit uncomfortable. Can you treat yourself to something nice afterwards?

Amber how are you feeling? Kidney infections are vile, have had a couple. So painful Sad

frankietwospots · 29/09/2013 21:03

santamarianovella · 29/09/2013 21:04

queen dental work is a nightmare,listen to your ipod and it will be over soon.

Drywhiteplease · 29/09/2013 21:08

Yes please Sleep that would be great......he has a dusty rowing machine ........."I'm off to the gym" , I go " it's the garage!!"Grin ... It would be a great addition to the garage/gym!!
QueenC root canal treatment along with wisdom tooth extraction are my ideas of hell.....You have my complete sympathy, HOWEVER.... This year I face my greatest fear, wisdom tooth extraction, petrified piece of wobbly jelly not sure you can have petrified jelly but you know what it was honestly absolutely fine. Really it was amazing! You will be fine....trust the biggest dental woooos around .xxxxx

Drywhiteplease · 29/09/2013 21:09

Oh and QC Barry M do great colours
Santa I knew you meant it! You're v kind.

BrandyAlexander · 29/09/2013 21:18

Hi everyone! Oh good, everyone I was thinking "wonder how they are" has posted today! must be ESPSmile i am in bed by 9pm with diptique candles lit and magic radio on, it's my Sunday night tradition. bliss after a mad day!

One and Grumpy so Envy at how organised you are!

ThanksThanksThanks to QueenC for tomorrow.

I have a clothes question for you all please.... I am just getting some vests to go under dd's school uniform. Is there any difference between John Lewis (my go to for everything) or marks and Spencer's? I think M&S is cheaper but quality is more important to me.

santamarianovella · 29/09/2013 21:44

novice M&S are terrible for children's underwear,waste of money ,sorry mrsSHEEP i have not bought the JL ones though.

AmberNectarine · 29/09/2013 21:45

Have had a shitty old time of it. Have spent the day in hospital having lots of tests (including CT scan) for the worst headache I have ever had which has lasted 36 hours. Painkillers not working though tramadol has taken the edge off slightly. Am having a lumbar puncture in the morning :(

QueenC I have had a root canal - I won't lie, it wasn't great, but as with all dental work the needles were the worst thing. Still wasnt a patch on childbirth and you've done that, so you'll be fine!

Thanks for shoe info MrsR am planning on wearing them with shorter dresses for work. DH will hate them, but I don't give a rats arse.

OneLittleLady · 29/09/2013 21:48

amber hope you feel better soon. I don't envy you the lumbar puncture, I had one years ago and they are not nice at all, lots of Thanks to you

santamarianovella · 29/09/2013 21:49

omg amber ,hope that all your test turns out ok. Flowers

Drywhiteplease · 29/09/2013 21:49

Bloody hell Amber was wondering where you'd got to. Lots and lots of love to you. I really hope you are ok. Will be thinking of you tomorrow. Keep us posted. I know you probably won't like this but am sending a big ((((((((hugggggg))))))))))) x

BrandyAlexander · 29/09/2013 21:58

LinusDKD · 29/09/2013 22:27

Oh Amber Sad hope it goes ok tomorrow and you feel better soon.

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 29/09/2013 23:08

Best of luck in the morning Amber, will be thinking of you. Horrible thing to have to go through, but hope it all gets sorted. Much love.

Annianni · 30/09/2013 06:48

Hope it goes ok today Amber, finger's crossed for you x

And you too QueenC.
I had a root canal a couple of years ago and it was ok,
(and I am a very nervous patient)
it was nowhere near as bad as I remembered (had one as a teen)
The £800 bill however... Sad

QueenCadbury · 30/09/2013 08:01

amber hope you're ok and good luck with the LP.

novice dd has m&s vests and they're fine but she prefers her ones from next. Never bought JL ones.

Thanks for the root canal wishes. Am trying to stay calm. Manic Grin.

MarshaBrady · 30/09/2013 08:10

Good luck today Amber hope you are ok and QueenC.

OneLittleLady · 30/09/2013 08:20

Fingers crossed everything turns out ok amber

You'll be fine queenC

Off to see the dietitian this morning, will see what she has to say and what she can suggest for me but I'm not hopeful

Decameron · 30/09/2013 08:27

Hope you managed to get some sleep, Amber, thinking of you this morning.

Good luck, QueenC!

I have two similar shaped coats, Liberty and decided I prefer those, also not sure I want to get black. I wanted to look at the Carven coat but Harvey Nicks didn't have it. I should probably try the J Crew pea coat first as it is half the price.

LinusDKD · 30/09/2013 09:21

amber good luck today! And queenc!

shopafrolic · 30/09/2013 10:24

I"m sending pain free vibes to QueenC and Amber today
