Grumpy Good luck with the Dentist. I used to smother imminent cold sores with a ton of lip balm (Carmex) and it seemed to inhibit them from developing fully.

Glad to hear from you Amber. You really have taken a hit lately and those headaches are total bitches. Are you taking a good supplement?

Evening all, I am sooo tired. Major presentation overseas today, which was a total curveball in the diary. arrived, rehearsed, did real thing left the country again and now in 2nd location till Friday. Dh told me as I closed my suitcase last night, you know we're at the Royal Opera House on Friday right after an Errr no. It's not written down anywhere . So had to make quick decision. I have gone with DvF Bentley dress in burnt orange. Aaargh just remembered I didn't pack clutch and will have to ask dh to hunt through my bag wardrobe to do it. Then he will realise I have a few of them. Yikes!

I have also realised that I need to leave the MU at 6.30pm as I have tickets for the theatre that night which I had forgotten about!

House update: We now have 3 offers from couples who have offered the full asking price! It only went on sale last Tuesday!

The outfit that got complimented was a red Hobbs shift wool crepe dress over a Thomas Pink shirt. A very slim black belt in the middle plus a black Hobbs wool crepe jacket. My new shoe boots and red Nancy. Bling was Boodles ring, tennis bracelet, magnolia flower watch. He was a lovely man

Hi Novice Respect to you my love. What shoes are you wearing with the DVF?

Hi Novice great news on the house. What now, sealed bids? Outfit sounds lovely. I meant to ask you, do you get your jewellery repairs done locally or in town? I have some stuff that needs fixing and no idea where to go.

One, yay that you can come on Saturday after all!

Foxy - gilet any good?

Just got a few things in my AR basket but it's hurting to pay full price after weekend of discount ...what to do?! V irritated with myself for not looking on the weekend!

I like these Grenson booties on Cocosa. There are some DVF accessories on sale there plus James cord skinnies.

Hi Mig, thank you, I am not sure on shoes. Will try tomorrow to see if my shoe boots go with it, if not, I have a shoe draw at work (yes really) and will just get my PA to courier maybe Rupert Sanderson leopard print courts - live a little

Sleep, yes we are just double checking a couple of things on prospective buyers before moving to sealed bids. I get my jewelry repaired locally. They are AMAZING and cheap. Definitely don't discount the locals on this.

Right, night lovely people!

Excellent! A shoe drawer!

Morning all!
Great news on the house Novice I'll be interested to hear what happens next.
We had good news last night - our Parish Council has rejected plans for our neighbour to build in his garden - this doesn't mean it won't happen I guess but it's a step in the right direction and should mean less problems for us when we come to sell.
Off to see an NCT friend today who is due baby no 2 in 4 weeks. No doubt lots of questions for me as to when we'll start trying again (as per usual)

Whistles sale now on

Morning. Great news on the house Novice. You've got a great excuse now for those Valentino boots!

Good luck this morning Shop.

Novice, you make me . I thought my brain was a sieve until I 'met' you .

Dd1 has had d&v overnight. Ever the caring mother, my first thought was that I hope that I don't get it for Saturday!

Kate moss is apparently doing another collection for topshop.

Fab news on the house novice you always sound so busy!

shop ignore the questions, I get them all the time and just smile and ignore, it's no ones business but yours

Queen

Wow is she? She's definitely getting more commercial now with the Mobile phone stuff too. I'd imagine KM could model indefinitely as she has such Kudos and history now but wonder if she is raising capital for a venture of her own?

Shop I'd never ever dream of asking somebody about their family planning. It amazes me what people think they can ask and usually w/ a judgement attached to it also.

Great news Novice. Happy for you and for Shop too. Hopefully the plans will be rejected outright.

Today I am wearing my Geo print J Crew Brocade fabric slim leg pants in navy/cream/grey. I have on a very pale yellow wool/cotton sweatshirt style sweater, a cream rib tank underneath and my pale tan ACNE booties. Not sure about the shoes but it is cold and damp outside. They were a massively reduced sale bargain last Winter.

My Mother took me out shopping a few days ago and bought me some lovely underwear- Eau de Nil and Rose boy shorts and soft cup bra by Lejaby. So pretty. That was when we saw the Fenn Wright and Manson and Oui Oui coats that I liked. Also saw some lovely soft skinny long sleeve T's in burgundy and navy pinstripe by Oui here. Tempted. This sweater looked good on the rails.

This is my ideal Winter look.

shop I HATE questions like 'when will there be a(nother) baby'!

To be fair, I used to ask people about babies etc as well but since we had our own fertility issues before having DS, I really try not to.

I do think they mean well but people just don't think. I had to fight back the tears many times after my ectopic pregnancy or after my mc when people asked me when we were going to start a family. Even people who knew about our problems

On a fashion note: I bought the cobalt cashmere cardigan I saw in my local shopping centre last week and I love it. I even got a small discount at the till!

And I also bought a Maybelline Master Smoky pencil in Smoky Violet and it's fab with my green eyes. They have them in loads of colours so I might try another one if this one stays put all day.

Right, I am going to try and catch-up now. Promise!

Should have been this photo as my ideal Winter look although I like the other one too.

I think people do mean well when they ask. I know that I'm guilty of asking people but just because I'm genuinely interested and just as i'd ask other questions. I hope that I ask people sensitively though and not badger them iyswim. I feel bad now that I may have had people upset . Maybe I should stop being such a nosy bugger .

linus love that cardigan. What will you wear it with?

km and topshop. From what I've read on other sites it looks like phil green wants to expand into HK and Kate is his key to that.

I had to start my catch-up on page 1!

queenc hope DD1 feels better soon. D&V sucks! And for your long periods. Mine are are a lot heavier since DD was born.

I think I'll wear that cardigan with jeans (as usual ) but maybe with a black dress as well as I like black/cobalt.

novice great news on the house!

I used to have several pairs of heels in my filing cupboard at work as I commuted in flats.

mig so happy to hear your DN is doing well! I bought some A&A muslins for DD in NY and they are supersoft.

The Stella cardigan is super cute! DM bought a Tartine & Chocolat dress and cardigan for DD last week, to replace the dress DD wore in the picture I pinned and that DM shrunk in the wash

amber glad to hear you are slowly starting to feel better!

mrsr I still do the 5:2 diet and I find it pretty easy. I usually skip breakfast, have soup for lunch and whatever I made for dinner but a smaller portion and no potatoes/rice/pasta.

one how is DBIL?

grumpy that leather Mango jacket is gorgeous!

umlauf your first post delivery outfit sounds great. It took me ages to look half decent post birth.

santa glad you got your LV scarf. I love them but none of the current colours really appeal to me.

dry will we be banned from MNV for talking about pac a mac?
I think I might order the Land's End one in black. But as I am 5'4" I am tempted to go for the petite instead of the regular size or would that be too short?

Linus I'm so sorry to hear your ectopic pg and mc. Big hug.

Love the cobalt cardigan.

cashmere jumper for people who can wear wine colour. Although 33% is a bit weak!

Single espresso pre meeting. After a double. Living on the edge.

oh I've missed so much! have skipped to last page, sorry!

sleep i love that, thank you, but have a £50 max budget for the gilet.

Linus gorgeous cardi

have made a start on christmas and birthdays here. got some matching sheepskin slippers for DD and I for our birthday from tkmaxx. they are actually outdoors boots, I think, but will be perfect for our draughty victorian house and this building work means my slippers will be trashed by december. she loves us to have a couple of matching bits and DH can give them to us both, she'll be so pleased.

other than that shopping has been hello kitty pjs (not for me!), playmobil, lego and sticky mosaics. considering a batman/superman reversible cape for DS. rock and rollllllll.

that's amazing re: your house novice! sealed bids next?

dry how is your build?! they poured the floor yday, today it's so nice and quiet as they are building sleeper walls and doing some carpentry stuff on the roof. looks like the muddy stuff is over for now although they are going to pull the ceiling down next week as the joists are rotten I am trying not to think about how much mess this is going to create

foxy the slippers sound good and I too have bought Hello Kitty pjs, not for me though, for my niece. Nephew has Toy Story ones and their baby sister has a Hello Kitty sleepsuit. I buy the kids pjs every year, it's now a tradition that they open the pjs on christmas eve and wait for santa to bring the rest of their presents

I love having new pjs on Christmas Eve so that I can look half way decent in photos on Christmas Day.

Dd is fine now. No more d&v but still needs the obligatory 48h off school. It must have just been something she'd ate that day rather than a virus thank goodness as it should mean I shouldn't catch it

Hope you're all having good days. My neighbour took ds to school so I'm in track suit pants and sweatshirt. Guess I should put something else on for the afternoon school run.

thanks one - toy story pjs sound ace, where did you find those?

queenc are we meeting on friday?

forgot I ordered this tutu dress forDD birthday and this in the black sparkle for me

Linus hugs to you. X
