Santa our house was decorated in green and terracotta when we moved in with even the radiators painted to match!! Red and gold sounds much better Smile. The house is basically white now - not very exciting but much easier on the eye.

Not at all liberty - perhaps I'm heartless for craving the freedom!

santamarianovella · 21/11/2013 22:02

shop I couldn't make it to 2 MU that were literally 20 minutes away ,do you think I will make it to one in Manchester!but I might if U promise to take us to a football match,I have a big crush on van persie!

novice I sometimes feel I will get an ulcer just reading your posts! You live on the edge girl! Grin safe trip!

libertychick · 21/11/2013 22:12

You are not heartless Shop!!! You are with your DS all day so need the break. I feel guilty as I don't see DD as much and she is learning to run the guilt trips - she looks at me through narrowed eyes each morning and says 'you are not going to work today mummy' then when I say I am she flounces off to her Dad and gets all cuddly with him while making faces at me!!!!

shopafrolic · 21/11/2013 22:12

I was thinking more shopping, cocktails and nice hotel Santa - no idea about footie - sorry :)

BrandyAlexander · 21/11/2013 22:26

I made it! Just. Phew. They said flight was closed but thankfully I had checked in so they let me put my luggage in. Then they upgraded me!!!! I have never flown first!GrinGrinGrin

Okay onto other urgent matters I am stood outside Michael Kors boarding is closing and am agonising over Hamilton in burnt orange which is $358. Think I better get flight!

libertychick · 21/11/2013 22:30

GET ON THE PLANE NOVICE Grin

Drywhiteplease · 21/11/2013 22:41

This is no time for shopping Novice never thought I'd say that
Shop sounds blissful.
Santa thanks . When we moved into our house it was an 80s nightmare. Flowery wallpaper and matching curtains everywhere, an avocado, a dark chocolate and a grey bathroom suiteShock garish Axminster everywhere. Brown brick tiles floor to ceiling in the big kitchen. It's been a big job and cost a lot and will do so for another year until it's all done.

Omg dry I wanted to say how I hate the 80s chintz look but didnt want to insult anyone, its really hideous,its something I could never ever do.

Drywhiteplease · 21/11/2013 23:00

If anyone ever sees a dress this style let me know. My all time favourite LBD is this style less pleating at waist with an exposed zip, I've worn it again and again. Would love red, deep plum /purple tones, navy/cobalt...not a print. Not at all urgent, just thought I'd put it out there.

Morning! Back in Blighty! So I listened to Liberty and got onto the flight.Grin It was fab. I have a mini hangover. Rushing home to see the dcs so we can have our family breakfast - they think I am back tonight.Smile

Santa, I was thinking of doing flowery wallpaper in new house because it's a period property. Is that very passé?Blush I have inherited a sitting room with burgundy red wall paper that has to go. Not to mention the gold wallpaper in our bedroom!

LinusDKD · 22/11/2013 06:59

Morning!

novice did you see my post about the MaxMara coat?

Poor DD is not well so she's not going to nursery today. I had agreed to meet DH for lunch, which happens very rarely, but I've had to cancel.

Will try and pin a picture on MNV later santa, thanks for having a look.

shopafrolic · 22/11/2013 07:19

Morning all, I'm hoping flowery wallpaper isn't passe as I've just decorated our office / spare room with Lily of the Valley paper that I pinned!

Drywhiteplease · 22/11/2013 07:48

I think it depends on the type of print....bold wall paper is v popular now.

Morning voguettes. Smile

Well went to Liberty and the guy said the sale starts next week so wait. He said not to say anything about this but since I got some bumf in the post saying this yesterday not sure why. Sales patter or he didn't know they had sent it out Confused

Santa how exciting, hope you like them!

Love the decorating talk. I must admit my personal current peeve is too bright spotlights everywhere. I much prefer wall, floor and other warmer diverse lighting. But that is just me! They are very in atm.

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2013 08:05

I was laughing last night at Liberty's get on the plane post Grin

Shop could be good! Not sure I can stay away for a night. Btw I remember you saying you're meeting a friend on 7th. Don't want to intrude. We can postpone? I'll send you a pm later.

shopafrolic · 22/11/2013 08:50

Don't think friend is coming now Marsha so at the moment my day is wide open apart from hair appt.

MarshaBrady · 22/11/2013 08:56

Great, you're on. Will pm re time.

Turquoiseblue · 22/11/2013 09:24

I want these www.theoutnet.com/product/421772 aren't they lovely!

Turquoiseblue · 22/11/2013 09:25

Oops forgot to say - good morning all!

shopafrolic · 22/11/2013 09:44

I'd fall straight off those Turquoise Grin

libertychick · 22/11/2013 10:15

Thank God you got that flight Novice - what are you like?!!

I hope all the sales get started soon. I'm itching to get ankle boots, a dress and a new work skirt...

Turq I'd fall off those shoes too

BrandyAlexander · 22/11/2013 10:31

Oooh Linus!Thanks What am I going to do???!!! Pavone is the one you linked and Maria is the object of my lust. They have brought the Maria out in beige now. swooooon but not in a 6 or 8. I am beginning to feel like an anomaly!

Liberty, dh used to hate flying with me pre dcs as I was always cutting it fineGrin

Sleepwhenidie · 22/11/2013 12:13

Hi everyone, just dropping in for a quick hi. Gorgeous handbags everywhere Envy. I had a quick trip to Selfridges yesterday, gorgeous crisp but freezing day, it felt very christmassy! I went for underwear - I hate buying underwear! Also tried on the new j brand 'photo ready' jeans which are fab, have ordered from Shopbop. Also picked up these boots in black - they are so cosy and comfortable, I love!

Re the baby chat, DH and I came very close to going for no4 just before the summer hols - 2 weeks of 3 dc's 24/7 cured us though Grin. Now I am very happy to stop at 3, mostly just the right level of crazy in our house Smile.

Just about to head off for long awaited weekend away with DH, very excited! Have a lovely weekend everyone!

QueenCadbury · 22/11/2013 12:23

Hello. For one reason I can't open any of the links. My iPad's obviously trying to tell me something Grin. Has anyone seen the purple house doing the rounds on Facebook? It looks totally normal onnthe outside but inside is literally purple everywhere- carpets, walls, furniture. I felt sorry for the poor buggers who are trying to sell it whilst everyone was linking it and laughing.
