Hi Queen Hope you feel better soon-that sounds like hell and maybe eat some spinach and red meat to bolster Haem levels?

I was tortured at the Dentist yesterday-nine injections of local and still not adequately numbed so they gave up.

Haven't had time to shop/look or even read my two new Vogues . Something needs to change so am going to hand in notice soon.

Am off to Germany this weekend then Spain from there as have so much holiday to use up. Looking forward to it. May go shopping in Loewe for a new clutch/wallet bag. Enjoy the MU. Love to you all.

Double bagging sounds wrong

Mig Hugs to you for Germany - safe travels
Novice safe trip - looking forward to seeing you Sat and more news on the house by then......
Sleep is so much more than muscles :)
QueenC poor you - for me it's horrific mood swings nowadays - I could frequently kill my DH (perhaps that's just DH though and not the hormones...?)
Marsha good stuff on the work - am hovering for the Outnet today in the hope of more Pistols, but I really need to leave the house and get stuff done.
Dry I'm looking forward to meeting Nancy - are you bringing a stool or a cushion for her in your bag?

Safe travels to Novice too. We need an airplane emoticon!

Hugs for you both Mig and QueenC. I had the constant bleeding thing for months at uni 20 years ago. It was miserable. Poor you.

Mig, are you off to see your niece?

We do need an airplane emoticon because I have 2 trips this month, 3 next month and 1 in December! Half long haul, half short haul.

OMG! An elderly man has just come up to me and said "My dear, I just wanted to tell you how stunning you look. Well done" and then said "That's a beautiful outfit" and then wondered off!

Yes I'm off to see my niece. She has had her ups and downs but laughs, can see and hear and is having physio twice a day (paid by the clinic). She has little control over her legs although can move them but is regaining tone and leg rigidity and spasticity is reducing. The fits have stabilised (They are atypical-we don't know why she has them) and thank goodness they have changed her meds as I was concerned about the facial changes wrought by long term use of one of them.

Am looking forward to seeing her and have a suitcase full of books, toys and a few cool clothes for both nieces.

Novice How lovely of him.

Oh that's lovely to hear Mig. Have a great time.

I'm hoping to put her in her baby carrier and go for a hike in the Black Forest and Mountains. She loves her carrier. I bought her a Stella sweater here and an Aden+Anais Blanket.

My older niece has a selection of fashion books (she is obsessed), Caran D'Ache drawing pencils and a little pot of Chanel Nail Polish in a neutral pink as at ten, I can't think of her in anything other than neutral colours although she loves painting her nails. Don't want her growing up too fast but she'll wear it whether I buy it or not so trying to subtly influence her!

Lovely! We were given some lovely blankets and Stella stuff when our dcs were born. They still use the blankets, pity they grew out of the Stella stuff!

I figure that the Stella stuff will have good hand me down/resale potential. Or a teddy can wear it when she grows out of it. The Winters are very cold and snowy where they are (Skiing to work) so wool and loads of amazing hats are money well spent. They live in a proper 'German picture postcard' place.

Morning lovely people.

Mig what lovely presents. Really sweet and thoughtful.

Novice excellent! but I need to know what are you wearing

Beautiful day. This weather!

Dry love your list I am expecting chic polish, Nancy and hair from you.

Shop good luck! Can you do wait list? Not sure how that works.

QueenC hope you feel better soon.

Morning!

We got back home last night and it was wonderful to see DC again. They had a brilliant time with DP's so they didn't miss us at all.

DH traveling again today but he's already back tomorrow evening.

I tried to keep up but I will have a proper catch-up today.

Lots of gorgeous Stella M on the Outnet this AM

for Novice

Hello all

Novice what a lovely compliment - I also want to know what you are wearing!

Shop had a at your wanting to kill DH comment. Good luck with viewings, you have a lovely house. Really like the floor in the kitchen.

Queen hope you feel better soon, sounds awful. Impressed that you are going to your PT session anyway though.

Marsha what a shame about those pistols, that is some bargain!

Mig have a lovely trip. How old is your neice now? Sounds like she is doing really well.

Liberty thanks for info on 5:2 and curly girl. I did my first fast day yesterday - wasn't too bad though I need to be more organised in terms of what I eat as I am sure I went over 500cals (am still breastfeeding though so letting myself off the hook a little). Curly girl wise I think I just haven't given it enough of a chance to work.

I am considering wearing my dungarees to the MU. If not them, then a skirt and jumper combo I think. Depends on weather and how 'out there' I feel!

Santa shame you can't make it, would love to meet you and see your wonderful clothes

Liberty when you were thinking of satchels, did you see these?

brit stitch

Also wanted to share this jacket, if anyone is like me and looking for natural fibres only. Quite rare for the high street!

DP biker

Plus atterley road seems to have a sale on.

And finally - Queen I like the shape of your red shoes from M&S, think they will go well with your dress.

Shop are these like the bracelet you got from J Crew?

Umlauf was it you who wanted this gold sweatshirt? Agree you are doing great with such a young baby btw!

Cool camo scarf

like this dress but not my colour

Morning all - for the mood swing people my GP gave me an anti-depressant (SSRI) to take in the run up to my period so I take it for about 8-10 days a month - it's worked like a dream for me - I haven't felt like killing DH since I started taking it and have realised he's a very nice and long suffering man! It's been life changing actually as the fall out from spending up to 10 days a month feeling like a demon was getting quite bad.

Bad connection here so can't look at links - will check them out later. Thanks also to Unlauf for the bag links.

Quick question for the winters - QueenC, MrsR and Amber - what lipsticks do you use? I think I need something a bit more lively for winter and as I've self diagnosised as a winter would be good to get your recommendations.

I might wear a hat if I'm feeling brave on Saturday.

I haven't fully embraced lipstick yet but have three revlon lip butters:

raspberry pie (bright pink)

red velvet (red obv but darkish not pillar box)

berry smoothie (neutral pink)

They are quite shiny and need to be reapplied, but nice colours.

Think Mac's russian red was mentioned on the winter thread, as well as a few other mac lippies which I can't recall.

I bought 3 hoc lipsticks on the colours day but am not too keen on them, quite drying. One of them is a good 'neutral' colour despite being a darkish red / burgundy. The other is fuschia - v bright, and the third is red but I don't get on with it as it goes pink when on.

I can bring them to MU though if you want to see the colours?

MrsR I like those satchels especially the melon and caramel full pint. They'd make great gifts for me my daughter and stepdaughters. That Biker is great. I think they have paid 'tribute' to the Cashmere Christopher Kane biker jackets from a few years ago. I like the dress colour too-a bit like the Todd Oldham dress Gwyneth wore a few years ago.

I hurt . He worked me hard today but I needed it!

mrsr glad you like the shoes. I'm about to have a try on session but I love the shade of red, the two tone ness of them and the chunkier heel that I can walk in!

liberty try revlon lip butters in red velvet and raspberry pie as they're good colours but not too in your face. There's also lots of good suggestions on the winter thread although you'll need to scroll though it all.

mig I'm so glad that you niece is doing well. Have a fabulous trip.

liberty I take antidepressants too to try and level my mood swings and have wondered whether I'd be best just taking them pre-menstrually when I need them but lately my cycles are all over the place. I'm also suffering low moods at ovulation too. I'm going to do some reading up on the GnRH and HRT options that my gynae suggested. If dd wasn't so young I would definitely consider a hysterectomy but she still needs too much lifting etc but I may go for that in a couple of years once she's at school.

MrsR I love you! I've ordered the ponyskin bracelet to try (I already have other Tokyo Jane jewellery and really like it), and the gold sweatshirt which I was also lusting after...... I'm a bit concerned about it though as looking at the video footage the gold looks much brighter than the pics, and there are side slits that seem to go quite high up but definitely worth a try.

Oh and MrsR clubber's brain has struck again - remind me what I need to bring to the MU? I owe money to Novice but there were things for you.......
