ohhhh the jingle bells drew me Smile we need a few Christmas emoticons done we

Love love Christmas!Dry I think we re birthday twins.
In the middle of a bit of upheaval - house move. Removalists come tomorrow so surrounded by boxes and doubtful about broadband over the next while. No exciting purchases to report- unless masking tape and household cleaners count. CAnt wait to get settled and decorate the new place for christmas!
Have cleared out the attic and filled a big box for ebaying (will be looking for your tips on this), will have lots of wardrobe gaps to fill over spring then.
Still looking for 3 sweaters - grey, black and patterned.
Camel coat was returned as I just couldnt get over the fact it was zara, eventhough i love lots of zara, would prefer to wait for a coat i m in love with. (me and em sale if I m lucky)
Will try catch up on lovely links in a bit while waiting for removal van.
DH smashed our lovely (Waterford) crystal wine glasses (clumsy) he s only allowed drink from the bottle or dd s beakers from now on.

Have found my dream bag - will pin later , (I hope think dh has taken the hint for birthday pressie if he knows what's good for him)
who linked a lovely black lace skirt a while ago? - I keep thinking of it, may need to search it out if it s not all gone.

Hi Turq! How annoying about the glass, gr for you.

Amber and Foxy are your bags arriving today?

Annianni · 19/11/2013 09:05

The black lace skirt was Jaeger, Decameron bought one.

Good luck with the move Turquoise.

Where are you this week Novice?

We went Christmas shopping last night, i'm starting to get really excited!
I've almost finished, but that's because we have very few to buy for.

Topaz hasn't been around for a while, or MrsSheep.

Annianni · 19/11/2013 09:07

Oh no had to cancel the acne jumper! Am so disappointed, thought I'd found a really good one.

But I realised that I had bought that exact same one a couple of years ago when it first came out in light blue. It has tugged wool balls all over it. I took photos, and we all agreed it looked years old!

I only saw the same thing when I looked at the order on the Mac at home, too small to see it on the iphone. Dang!

Wondering whether I should get another. But the one I'm considering looks rather roomy so probably need an xs.

Had a fabulous day with my friend (like you Dry the other day, 20 year friendship). Really good to do stuff like that.

AmberNectarine · 19/11/2013 18:29

Oh god I remember that Marsha we thought they'd sent you a skanky old one but it was actually the design. Bizarre.

No bag or sign of delivery here. Am likely going to be home tomorrow morning so hopefully the planets will align. Actually I've not had a dispatch email. Up your game MF.

MarshaBrady · 19/11/2013 18:32

Can't believe I nearly fell for it a second time. Blimey

Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

foxysocks · 19/11/2013 19:18

amber mine only dispatched this morning. am annoyed. if it's not absolutely perfectly lovely I'm going to send it back.

QueenCadbury · 19/11/2013 19:50

Hello ladies. I've been ignoring you all day as i had loads of chores to do and didn't want to get distracted Grin. Gave my bag its first outing today. But have also managed to lose my tiffanys cuff that I wear every day Sad. It must have just slipped off but I've been into or phoned everywhere I've been and no one has it so someone somewhere is wearing £190 of loveliness. Dh bought it from America last year but luckily it's on the uk website too so he said he'll get a new one for Christmas.

QueenCadbury · 19/11/2013 19:52

foxy if you send it back can you wait till after Saturday as I want to see it. Are you still up for strictly/prosecco?

LinusDKD · 19/11/2013 19:54

Oh no marsha! Thank god you realised in time!

Well done sleep!

Very curious about the bag turq

santa piccie of the boots when you get them?

shop DS is a lightweight so even now I can pick him up without a problem. DD is another story! I'll blame her for my future back problems. Wink

LinusDKD · 19/11/2013 19:56

Oh no queenc! I really hope you will get it back somehow!

AmberNectarine · 19/11/2013 20:15

foxy yes the £8+ for 24hr delivery is a bit of a pisstake!
