Hello all.
Wave of relaxation post Elemis facial was broken by tantrumming DS all the way home from nursery. Have had lots of visits from friends this afternoon, one of whom bought me the most beautiful roses in miniature glass bottles in a metal holder - stunning (bad description).
Linus what a beautiful gift - your DH sounds fab, especially leaving a smaller size aside for you in-store. Glad you've had a good day with lots of pampering :)
Not sure what to wear for dinner tonight - feels weird to get overdressed on a Monday…….
Mamma Grinning right back - welcome - and yes to links - are you on Pin?
One AMAZING - well done! Sleep is a star. I can hear how much happier you sound - fab news.
Dry Off to look at Christmas jumper - and QueenC's bag…….
Novice sending hugs and more safe travel wishes

Foxy bonkers price for baskets!

Nice bag Queen, I am a sucker for squishy grey bags.

Welcome mamma Smile

Lovely DHL man came back As he knows I am usually in after 4pm Grin, the grey cashmere jumper is totally divine, I may just live in it all winter Smile. by contrast, the coral one feels too cheap and flimsy so I have no problem sending it back.

I really can't claim much credit for One's weight loss achievements, she's the dedicated one Smile. So pleased for you One!

There's all manner of treats in the fridge, chocolate cake, screme eggs, cheese.....I have resisted temptation and have just had a bowl of gluten free porridge oats with sliced banana.

QueenCadbury · 04/11/2013 17:44

Welcome mamma.

I had been prepared to forgive the lining but foxy you've made me think now that I may too have to stick pins in my eyes Grin.

MarshaBrady · 04/11/2013 17:48

I can't get into pin as need to get on the mac. But I knew it would be MJ making people react to the lining. I don't know why it has to be so bold.

shopafrolic · 04/11/2013 17:57

QueenC if this is going to be your first £££ bag you must get one that you completely love - lining, hardware, all of it….

shopafrolic · 04/11/2013 17:59

Sleep good to know about the coral sweater……. Glad the grey is so lush.

MarshaBrady · 04/11/2013 18:02

Ah shame about the coral Sleep

But knew the grey would be fab!

shopafrolic · 04/11/2013 18:27

Didn't DMBL40 do a piece on grey bags???

Drywhiteplease · 04/11/2013 18:33

Evening and welcome mamma....off to check bag..........

MarshaBrady · 04/11/2013 18:54

Welcome Mamma.

Drywhiteplease · 04/11/2013 19:00

Ooooh was sooooo close to buying a clutch bag on the Outnet (naughty Queenc for tempting me!) then remembered I'm saving for my coat....drat

MarshaBrady · 04/11/2013 19:03

I like this slouchy bag, but navy and might feel like a bottomless pit looking for stuff.

Sleepwhenidie · 04/11/2013 19:11

Not your fault Marsha, to be fair, it's not that bad, but pretty much any jumper will come off badly in comparison to the grey one Smile. It wouldn't tick the love it box for me even in the absence of the grey though, so not a keeper. Am having dilemma over slinky Stella slip....not sure cpw would be great, but should I just say what the hell? Cheaper than fancy bra and knickers and much more comfy....

Sleepwhenidie · 04/11/2013 19:13

I like that too Marsha

OneLittleLady · 04/11/2013 19:13

I love that slip sleep IF I get down to a reasonable size, I'd definitely be having on of those! Grin

OneLittleLady · 04/11/2013 19:13

one, not on

Sleepwhenidie · 04/11/2013 19:16

when , not if One, WHEN!

OneLittleLady · 04/11/2013 19:17

yes, WHEN not if, you are right Wink

MarshaBrady · 04/11/2013 19:31

True Sleep. I'd love a soft jumper like that, with that original price and discount. Gotta be good Grin

MarshaBrady · 04/11/2013 19:32

And yes to slip, very pretty.

santamarianovella · 04/11/2013 19:36

linus gorgeous bracelet! Very thoughtful of your DH,lovely color too,
shop Envy of your spa day
one that's amazing! Good job,
sleep its a lovely slip ,I would be torn too,the price is good for a Stella m.

we have not heard of mcnally in a long time,hope all is alright Smile

foxysocks · 04/11/2013 19:45

oh no queenc, if you can forgive it then get the bag! it's really gorgeous. I found it so frustrating when I was looking around christmas time, i do think they are beautiful bags, but like shop said on pin for £300 you have to love every bit of it. if you do then fab!

Decameron · 04/11/2013 20:30

QueenC, I have the M by MJ Natasha, really love it and will get it in black or navy soon. Less loud lining would be better but only I see it and it's still a lovely bag. Also like Coach a lot and it is similarly priced. My friend has this Whistles bag which I also like a lot.

Aw, hope yours and DD's day picked up, Novice.

Gorgeous presents, Linus.

You looked lovely on pin, Shop.

The slip is very pretty, Sleep.

Very well done, One.
