That didn't work! It's the black watch one.

foxysocks · 18/10/2013 17:13

Nice ruby

Marsha was considering a bag earlier, it's on the MNV pin board

Queen I have no help in half term. Ugh.

Drywhiteplease · 18/10/2013 17:25

Shop Twinings Lady Grey is my favorite. I drink loads of Tetley decaf because I drink at least 8 cups of tea/coffee a day and have one or 2 Lady Greys a day,delicious.

Off to check Rubys boots. I love mine. Like smart Wellies really, but loads warmer.

Have just been hoovering and my nails match the Dyson exactly!Grin

Ruby when I say I live in my Dubarrys, I'm not exaggerating. I've had them about 3 years (I think) and they get daily abuse. In fact, I've just been across the paddocks to check on my foals and they came back thick with mud. 1 minute later after sticking them under the tap in the yard they're clean and ready to go again (pretty much completely waterproof). And I highly recommend Dubarry fleece inserts with furry tops for when the weather gets really cold. I have them in chinchilla and they are soooo snuggly.

OneLittleLady · 18/10/2013 17:40

Oh poor you foxy please please take it easy on the drugs, I take that combo myself and they really knock you for six!

Freshly back from my singing lesson, tutor wants to put me in for my first graded exam. So not sure about it, he thinks I'm ready, I'm undecided because of nerves!

QueenCadbury · 18/10/2013 17:53

Oh no foxy but hopefully you'll feel better by then. Is your nursery open over half term? I'd offer to help but I'll be away. I'm assuming dh is around this weeknight to help?

dry not sure yet what I'm going to wear tonight. Needs to be sensible shoes as walking to a lock restaurant to go out with one school mums. Will either be similar outfit to last Saturday or black 7/8 trousers or I may even give my black wrap dress it's first outing this season. We're also going to a dinner party tomorrow too so I get to dress up twice this weekend!

shop it takes more than Saturday to kill me off Grin. I need to come out with you guys when I haven't got to worry about a 2hour journey home!

grumpy I remember reading about your teeth earlier this week and it sounded horrendous.

QueenCadbury · 18/10/2013 17:56

amber have you seem the MK grey tote irl? I'm possibly interested in getting it if I get enough birthday money. I've read it's silver hardware but looks gold in some pictures? I would have to order online as not sure anywhere in bristol sells it.

shopafrolic · 18/10/2013 17:57

I drink Twinings Lady Grey Dry but those little pyramid bags of joy take tea to a whole other level :)
Have we figured out a date for a pre Xmas MU (evening) ?

Oh, and I'm a green tea girl. I especially love green tea and jasmine.

shopafrolic · 18/10/2013 18:02

QueenC you may be in luck about the Loubs - check out our Pin board.......

OneLittleLady · 18/10/2013 18:02

I'll drink ANY tea (no PG tips or cheap tea bags here though as they ming). I love it, Lady and Earl Grey being particular favourites. Have started drinking a lot of green tea with honey since I took up singing lessons though.

Drywhiteplease · 18/10/2013 18:04

Ooh Shop will see if I can get some

shopafrolic · 18/10/2013 18:05

Keep it between us though right - working on a principle of the less who know.... the more chance?

shopafrolic · 18/10/2013 18:07

Anyone own any and know about sizing???

OP posts:
mignonette · 18/10/2013 18:26

They can come up large. I have a pair of Pigalles in black leather and a pair in navy suede and they are on the larger side of my size.

santamarianovella · 18/10/2013 18:33

Hello everyone! I'm across the channel visiting my parents!its one of those rare child free visits,So im having a very relaxed and much needed me time I'm planing a mini shopping trip with my mum tomorrow! Really excited!
I have missed so so much ,and need to read the last few pages of the last volume ,well done everyone on posting till the very end! shop that must have been a very important moment to you,Grin

Will report tomorrow!

santamarianovella · 18/10/2013 18:36

shop will answer on the board.

LinusDKD · 18/10/2013 18:40

Stop linking Dubarrys! I don't need them but they are sooo lovely!

marsha maybe not what you are looking for but worth a try zara

I love tea but I usually only drink it on weekends. The best tea I've ever tasted is by a Singapore brand called TWG.

Their French Earl Grey is to die for and looks pretty as well with little bits of dried cornflower in it.

In Europe the ony place they sell it is Harrods so next time I'm in
London I will have to stock up.

Their shops are stunning as well: twg

MarshaBrady · 18/10/2013 18:46

I love those Linus. They look nice and furry too, which is the most important thing.

Is there a Zara on Regent St, will have to look.

MarshaBrady · 18/10/2013 18:47

Hi Santa sounds lovely, have a great time.

That tea shop is so opulent! It's beautiful.

LinusDKD · 18/10/2013 18:48

Enjoy your me-time santa!

I had to think of you today when I walked past a shop with loads of Rockstuds in lots of colours and heel heights.

LinusDKD · 18/10/2013 18:49

marsha I think they are an 'homage' (ahem) to the J. Choo Youth biker boots.

MarshaBrady · 18/10/2013 18:57

It's about time I did an homage, they look really nice.

So Gap, Zara or Ugg. And possible shoe in from Liberty as I have a good voucher winging it's way here soon.

I'm thinking about these boots more than most things I buy. Only because I can't be bothered to replace in next few years so need to choose right ones, hopefully.

RubyLovesShopping · 18/10/2013 19:36

Currently 0/3 in bed, not doing well. Will be back once that is sorted. Where are the shoes can someone pm me?

QueenCadbury · 18/10/2013 19:45

Enjoying Wine when I should be deciding what to wear Grin

Forgot to respond to the long and lean chat. I LOVED those jeans. Mi was GUTTED when they stopped doing them as they actually make my stumpy legs look long! I have 1 pair left but they are very faded
