Back from shopping. Saw the MJ bags in both blue and grey. Perfect colours, perfect size and even the lining didn't put me off. But it just didn't grab me in the way I thought it would. I was so excited to find it online but irl it just didn't do if for me especially for £350. I want something that will excite in years to come still. Am I expecting too much Confused. Still, all was not lost, I made one or 2 other purchases. Will link later as must do some chores.

Just been for physio and needling - my back emitted some terrifying cracks and bangs - I feel an inch taller now!

Decameron · 05/11/2013 12:42

I got an email the other day to say shipping is free at Cos until end of November. What is the sizing like on the pink jumper w elbow patches, Liberty please? I am a 10/12 on top would I need medium or small?

Decameron · 05/11/2013 12:42

And well done, One!

Sleepwhenidie · 05/11/2013 12:53

Well done One - other than thrilled about the weight loss, how are you feeling?

Shop you reminded me I need to book a sports massage at local osteo clinic. Invariably this ends up with lots of my upper back being crunched and needles involved...great afterwards though isn't it!

I have just been pinning stuff on a Christmas wish list board. Rockstuds feature (worth a go Hmm)!

Mignonette · 05/11/2013 13:00

My son has just passed his driving test! Yay!

libertychick · 05/11/2013 13:27

That's great news one.
Well done to your son Mig and yay to freedom from being a taxi service!!! Now he can collect you after a big night!

Decam I am 10/12 on top too, I tried the medium and it was a good fit for wearing with a shirt underneath - I'd say go for small though if you want a more fitted look. Is there a code for free shipping? It's a good length too so perfect with your height I think.

libertychick · 05/11/2013 13:29

I had a Thai massage at the weekend - was amazing. I honestly looked younger after it - she commented on the amount of tension in my head Shock.

libertychick · 05/11/2013 13:49

Right, I am so easily led, the combination of Mig's enabling and Decam's validation plus alerting to the free shipping has MADE me order the pink jumper Smile ignores the fact that I managed a crazy diary day to wangle in 28 mins in Cos so am ultimately responsible

QueenC it's interesting that the bag doesn't impress you in the flesh. I get like this too - I think if you are not used to spending a lot on these items deciding to buy one can feel like a huge thing and then ultimately it is just a bag and it won't change your life etc!! The best way for me is deciding that I am 'allowed' to spend the money when the time is right, put the cash aside and then one day you will see something you love and you know you can just get it. Most of the nicest things I have are those I bought when I just saw them and fell instantly in love.

Mignonette · 05/11/2013 14:19

Liberty

Just call me the PUsher of Pink Sweaters. heh heh. That is a lovely lovely colour and will make Winter better for those around you smile]. I like it when the office is full of bright colours.

Queen Not everybody goes GaGa for bags and you may well not lose your heart to one. I'm not fussed about evening wear TBH. You may meet 'the one' or have loads of 'ones'. I have met people who care little for lingerie and I am Shock at that as I adore it but horses for courses.

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 14:24

Glad you got the sweater Liberty. It's lovely.

I've pinned two on mnv, I really need a warm one. There may be a few to choose between but out of the two, I'd love to know which one everyone prefers.

OneLittleLady · 05/11/2013 14:30

Thanks everyone.

sleep , I feel really good, haven't suffered with PMT AT ALL this month, my skin is clearing up, hardly a spot or bump in sight, my moods have definitely lifted, haven't had any mass crying fits or anything since starting this. I have more energy so have been getting around a lot more without being worn out so much.

Well done to your son Mig Smile

libertychick · 05/11/2013 14:38

Marsha I have commented on pin - on a straight vote I would go for I&I but it's tough!

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 14:42

Thanks Liberty!

I do love that one, I just need to think about whether I should wait for one with a bigger discount on the outnet, rather than I&I. It always feels a bit full price-ish.

libertychick · 05/11/2013 14:47

I think the 80% off I&I last winter ruined it for all of us Smile permanent sense of 'it will be reduced eventually'.

Decameron · 05/11/2013 15:03

Thanks Liberty, I ordered the pink in medium too.

It's a nice sweater, Marsha, I didn't click through to see the price though.

Well done to your son, Mig.

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 15:04

Exactly. That was SO good. Like the time at university when my friend and I put money in a vending machine and got the chocolate and the money back, plus change. Never felt the same using it normally after that.

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 15:05

Funnily enough I'm wearing the bubblegum pink one today. £20!

OneLittleLady · 05/11/2013 15:06

Sorry if I'm boring you all about the weight loss and stuff. I just can't believe it and I'm so chuffed I can't help myself! Grin

Mignonette · 05/11/2013 15:07

Not at all One. I think you are doing magnificently.

libertychick · 05/11/2013 15:09

Grin and you still remember it Marsha!

I just saw you had pinned the Cos sweater Dec we can be Irish pink sweater twins!

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 15:09

One attitude is everything when it comes to this stuff. Mind over all. So feeling chuffed and positive is great.

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 15:09

Hell yeah Liberty nearly one of the best days ever

MarshaBrady · 05/11/2013 15:10
Grin
libertychick · 05/11/2013 15:10

Not at all boring one it's great to hear you doing so well - think of us as your cheerleaders.

Right, I need to do some work!!!!
