"theatrical romantic" here, yin dominant

Mig 9 injections and no work, totally sucks
Shop I thought " double bagging" sounded ropey too . Hope I didn't offend Sleep with muscles comment! just sounded better than "fit body" which would have just been weird
Novice I love the elderly gent's comment and how he ended with "well done"!!
Marsha " chic polish" blimey, no pressure then! But will have hair, defo hair!
Anni bifolding installers just arrived! look a lot like this only less attractive, disappointing ! .

Ps does any one have a little stool for Saturday! shop reminded me

Dry Thanks for the flowers. Think my dentist better off working as an Archaeologist than a Dentist. Some digging for an impacted something or other. Was starting to think that maybe she had found Atlantis rather than an un wisdom tooth!

I got as far as Petite, short arms but proportionate then lost touch with my self image!

I bought some Neutrogena Rainbath here from Amazon as memory jogged by another Mn thread. I cannot eat but I will smell good.

Am going to read my Vogue tonight then report back. I have written 300 words of my article so am very pleased. They may not be Nobel Lit Prize words, but they are words none the less.

What does all the yin stuff mean (ignorant)?

Is it yin and yang Shop?
Light and dark good and evil

I'd missed that about your dentist Mignonette.
You poor thing

Sp how can a bone structure be Yang dominant?

This is what is says for me..... Balanced, with a Yang influence - Dramatic Classic
Note: To qualify for this theme, your body type (flesh) and features should be primarily balanced between the extremes of Yin and Yang while your bone structure should be more Yang-influenced.

:o :o :o

What a load of....

I put some photos up, not great as I don't have a full length mirror. The pea coat arrived just as I was heading out. It's lovely quality but a bit dull, not really loving it and I need to for the price. I think I might return it.

Precisely! It feels a bit like horoscopes - I read it, and think "oooo that sounds like me" but then there are bits in other types that could also be me.

Hi everyone, Dry I'm not offended at all ..busy day though! just fed and (partly, not looked at bedrooms yet) cleaned up after 7 kids, bad planning, keeping the massive play date in the absence of our nanny. Just catching up here watching 5 mins of Phineas and Ferb with the DC's before starting the marathon of bedtime on my own as DH going to be late home. Hopefully see you around 9pm, before I start preparing dinner .

One don't abandon us now, you've booked your ticket and have been looking forward to Saturday so much ....

MrsR you are the devil. I had to open the AR links and ended up ordering (I think) one of the ponyskin bracelets and a Becksondergaard scarf. I say 'think' because I lost connection while confirming the order - I had already gone through Paypal so now I'll wait and see if I get an email or not...

I love your presents to your nieces Mig. How lovely to have such a stylish Aunt - I had one of those, she was (still is) very cool and was the best present buyer ever.

Less demonic myself today, but only slightly. Hate DH but he doesn't know it . Hormones all over the place and not helped by major drama with HMRC who are convinced I haven't paid my last 2 month's PAYE for my staff (I have, confirmed by the PAYE helpdesk today) but they're being v heavy handed and not listening to me at all. Stressed to the hilt - can't sleep and being horrible to everyone. Hope I can get it sorted tomorrow.

Good thing I have you lot and your wicked links to distract me.

Fingers crossed sleep DP is trying to work out a way to get me there. I will know for definite in about an hour whether or not his plans will work. Will PM Shop and also post on thread when I know for absolute definite one way or another

Oh Grumps poor you, although bit about hating your dh without him knowing yet made me

Sleep bravo for surviving so far.

Anni I know me too! On the nice treat thing, although I have other things backing up too I have to deal with first unfortunately.

Ok going to do the style thing.

Grumpy poor you???bloody hate HMRC.

Yong and yang ....yup Shop it's funny! ......
I have shoulders, kind of join my neck and have arms on the other end.
If I pout, I also have cheekbones.
I go in and out in places.
I have legs,with flesh on them,knees and ankles.
I have cheeks that obviously fill out if I put on weight....infact if I put on weight the whole body fills out
I have a torso.
People often think I'm taller than I am because I wear heels (duh) and because I have a loud voice. If I'm pissed I think I'm a 6ft super model!
My hands....oh dear, sausage fingers....but a firm, nut breaking handshake.

It makes me a theatrical romantic!! and I should wear.....clothes!

I still have to catch up but I have a quick question.

Do any of you have any recommendations on stylish lightweight raincoats that fold away easily so it can be stuffed in a handbag?

We had some rain in Rome but the temperatures were still high so my trusty Hobbs Mac was too hot to wear and too bulky to carry around whilst sightseeing.

Sleep I have just done bedtime solo tonight, horrific has taken 2 hrs but all in bed now and one reading quietly in bed so I can finally flop on the sofa.
Decameron I have been waiting all day for your coat to arrive!! are you happy with the feel of the fabric and overall quality? I think I quite like dull, it may still be on my list of 3. are the pictures on your pin board? I have many other questions too!!
Mignonette did you order the lovely Westwood coat?
Off to get dinner and looking forward to reading through this thread and looking at all the lovely links. Thanks for the boots advice last week have decided on the shoescribe ones which have now sold out in my size..... Waiting again!!

Linus I bought a "parka parka" from Sainsburys in the summer sale. Sounds horrendous but it looks fine and fits in a bag which is great. Think it may be more of a summer thing because of the weight but worth a google search.....

A " paka parka"

So, DP has planned and schemed all day and I will be coming on saturday. I better search my wardrobe now as I haven't got a stitch to wear!

Ruby, the fabric is lovely and very well made, 80% wool and 20% cashmere, I just thought it looked dull and shapeless on although I like a classic look normally, and I looked like I was wearing my dad's coat! It could have been the Gant one for half the price. It was at least a size or two too big so definitely size down. I wish I'd bought this when it was available here last year.

I've deleted the photos as I am annoyed now that I will now have to wait for 10 working days until I get a refund!

I do every bedtime solo Mon-Fri, as does Amber I think! Not that I recommend it.

That's great you can make it, One. Sorry I will miss you all.

Good news one

dry is this what you mean?

I like this and this as well but I don't think they are shower proof.

Ruby It was a Miu Miu coat and I didn't order it sadly. I am hoping it will be in the sale but even at 750 I cannot justify it. I saw some nice coats in Fenn Wright and Manson and Oui Oui- both in a little local department store. Peacoat style w/ textures and woven details.

Still engaged in coat dithering....

Evening all.

mig I totally forgot to respond about the dentist. Ouch ouch ouch. Your mouth must feel so bruised after 9 injections. Ice cream will make it feel better .

at drys musings about her clothing personality. I've also come across this blog which is quite interesting if you're interested about the whole colour analysis thing.

one that's great news. Look forward to meeting you.

dec shame the coat didn't work. Agree that waiting 10 days for refund is annoying. Today I finally got the refund for the ash boots.
