Linus style and fabric wise v much like the first but mine is a khaki grey and draw string waist which is flattering.....will have a browse

10 days is terrible Decam. Ooh that makes me mad. After using real online sites like the outnet I find more traditional ones a pita.

Mig poor you after the dentist!

Me too mig!

I have been thinking that with the money I would spend on the Moncler coat I could buy half my A/W wishlist and now I'm not sure if I will buy it.

I still love it but I have an old Marithé François Girbaud down coat for very cold days so maybe I don't really need a new down coat.

The MFG coat was a gift from DM and looks like a black down filled parachute, so it completely swamps me, but it is super toasty.

at ice cream. I have had a little coconut and Mango ice cream but mouth so sore that even that has caused me pain . Am on Prophylactic as had Rheumatic Fever as a child so at least I won't have to worry about infection.

not sure about the logo! but maybe worth a look

Cocosa took weeks for a refund. Annoyed the hell out of me, I won't shop there again now.
Decam I think you're doing the right thing. It has to be true love or it must go back
I do bedtime solo most nights now. I'm not sure i notice much difference TBH - just shows how much help DH was! Think chocolate teapot.......
One I've messaged you
Dry your comments made me LOL - especially about being tall in heels which was exactly what I thought when I read the "do people mistake you for being taller than you are?" bit

Great that you can make it one.

Thanks QueenC and MrsR for the lippy recommendations.

Dec what a shame about the coat.

Royal college guidelines on use of SSRIs for PMS see pages 6-8 According to my GP, if you suffer from depression then you need to take them all the time and they take time to work but when symptoms are caused by PMS then you can use as needed. I felt a bit odd for the first few days on them and get dry mouth but apart from that they are great and really make a difference I may have used them to take the edge of the occasional hangover too

Even though I'll wear heels, there's no mistaking me for someone taller. I'm really that short

dry not bad for that price but like you said, not sure about the logo.

Brilliant link liberty. I see that I'm past the stage of taking them just pre as I'm now on all the time and have mirena. My gynae is now considering stages 3 and 4. Definitely worth a try though if you haven't used them before as they definitely help level out moods.

Hope ice cream is helping, Mig!

Shop, the DDs are up later at the weekend when DH helps. I'm so strict on bedtimes when it is just me. The poor kids. :)

I'm thinking the same coat wise and wish list wise, Linus! There is a black DVF coat I like but need to wait for the sales for it. Although I have some nice coats already and haven't worn any of them this autumn yet.

If anyone needs a good, easy but gripping page turner "the husband's secret" by Lianne Morriarty is v good.

Tramadol is helping more Decam. I also have some MST's left over from surgery a while back but ought not to indulge in those.

Good book recommendation Dry. I have just indulged in 'Doctor Sleep' the sequel to 'The Shining'. Loved it but upsetting and scary.

I forgot Doctor Sleep was out. I'm still traumatised by that nightmare I had a bit back about the Overlook Hotel so just daren't read it

The RCOG website is excellent QueenC - really good guidance on women's health. Hope you get a solution soon - 2 wk period sounds horrible.

Not the most exciting of brands but it is packable and waterproof.

Stupid Iphone!

It's the land's end packable raincoat if anyone can be bothered to look it up.

Am back, sorry if I was complaining too much Decam, I am used to doing 2 DC's bedtimes every night but the third session of story then waiting til they fall asleep (yes, I know, rods and backs) just takes ages (usually from around 7.20 til almost 9pm). At least with one more person around I manage to start cooking by about 8.30pm.

That quiz didn't really work for me, facially I think I came out as d's but body 'b' ?

Interesting stuff about erratic periods, mine have been all over the place the last year or two, never long and no mood swings (yet) but sometimes a very long cycle, occasionally short. Weird.

Anni I'd love you as a client if you wanted !

linus that's a good one. I like the khaki....worth a try

I didn't mean that you were complaining, Sleep.

Isn't it weird how we all seem to synch? Be it moving house, major home renovations, PMS or the dentist - so strange how we seem to go through stuff together. I have the dentist tomorrow too, prep appt for a crown, although seem to have developing ear infection which may curtail my appointment tomorrow (especially if the spot on my top lip turns out to be a cold sore!). Honestly, if I was a horse you'd shoot me, crumbling old wreck.

In better news, got an email from AR, so it appears my order did indeed go through. Yay!

Oh yes, bedtime very much my domain - even at the moment DH isn't getting home until 8ish (early for him). I have it down to a fine art now - stories together in DS' room, kiss goodnight to the special snuggle bunny and then DD and I go to her room where I must stay until she falls asleep. Theyre actually pretty good about bedtime, though DD was overexcited tonight as she has a new dress!

Thanks for enquiries after me - am on the mend, slowly. I think I'm over it then a headache comes from nowhere and Knocks me for six. To be expected I suppose. Hoping to be back to work (and the blog) next week. Am sorry to be missing the MU but as the 5min drive to nursery brought me out in a cold sweat this evening I think gallivanting in London is off the menu for a little longer! Shame as I would love to meet you all.

Spoooooooooooky Grumpy

Bifold doors look fab. Oak doors too. Plastering and more doors tomorrow.

linus funny that we're discussing paka macs on MNV!!!!!

Just had a gander at AWO and love Belinda's look today.

That is all.
