Yes Sleep Pre birthday I weighed 10st 8 lbs. Now at the end of birthday month I weigh 10st 4! Imagine what I might weigh had I not eaten my body weight in carbs and booze Grin
Mig Lovely to have you back - I missed you

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 11:03

Marsha HURRY! :) No parcel here yet either. Nails done. DH is heading out to tidy the garden so I may get away with him missing the parcels - fingers crossed!

MarshaBrady · 28/11/2013 11:13

I crumbled and rang dhl, couldn't handle the pressure Grin. Not arriving until after 12. Better be before sr now!

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 11:37

Ha! I need mine to arrive before 12.45 - that's when I pick up DS and not sure DH will hear door…….

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 11:39

I just posted that and the've arrived!! Off to try…..

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 11:54

Anyone about? Will Pin some pics…..

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 12:02

I think I'm in love - someone be there to take a look.

MarshaBrady · 28/11/2013 12:10

They are fabulois Shop!

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 12:17

They are so lovely and soft for coated skinnies - shame they haven't got a 31 but it is love.

MarshaBrady · 28/11/2013 12:54

It's here!

Unfortunately even without trying on yet, the skirts are a no go. Material too thin and not worth even £40.

Silk top looks nice, but also looks very big!

Will try on when I'm getting ready.

libertychick · 28/11/2013 12:55

Welcome back Mig - missed you.

Sorry haven't been around - v busy. Have a good time tonight Marsha - have I missed what you are wearing? Fingers crossed for the outnet order.

libertychick · 28/11/2013 12:56

Hee hee - cross post with Marsha - shame about the skirts - what's the back up plan?

MarshaBrady · 28/11/2013 12:58

hehe Liberty ah not sure yet!

Why is the Lanvin dress too dressy for almost everything?!

Ok, will have a think. I need something new, but too late now. Will have to wing it.

MarshaBrady · 28/11/2013 12:58

If the top is ok, will see if I have something to go with it.

foxysocks · 28/11/2013 14:07

shop i love those skinnies! are they actually charcoal? they look dark green on my screen.

Drywhiteplease · 28/11/2013 14:16

Coated skinnies are fab shop .i prefer skinnies that aren't ankle clenching.
marsha shame about the silk top.
You must both pin pics of your going out outfits

they have a 6 marsha, if you want to exchange...

MarshaBrady · 28/11/2013 14:28

Thanks Foxy, I'm yet to try on the bigger one, I'll see how it is.

Dry ok I do need to step up to the plate don't I Grin

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 15:23

They're dark green foxy and they have them in your size...... I put a close up pic of both pairs on Pin for comparison of colour......

foxysocks · 28/11/2013 16:11

have seen, I don't think dark green works for me but they are perfect for you.

white company top and poncho are both winners. might wear the top with skinnies for DDs party tomorrow.

shopafrolic · 28/11/2013 17:11

I pinned a second pic of that knit I'm considering, the sleeves look odd - what do you think ladies? More see through than the body?

Decameron · 28/11/2013 17:26

Hi all. Have not been on mumsnet in a while.

You look fab in your new coated jeans, Shop. I like the sweater you pinned too. Well done on the weight loss. I have just started using MyFitnessPal, the calorie counter thing is scary! I always thought I was a healthy eater, I am but I just eat too much!

Love your new jeans too, Sleep, I have them in grey and they are so flattering.

Love the coat, Dry.

Anni, are you still in talks with DH? It's a tough decision. You wouldn't need to move necessarily, the youngest two DC could share, girls or boys ... I shared with my brother until I was 7 or 8, we loved it.

Marsha, you will look gorgeous whatever you wear.

I have been doing a bit of shopping as we cannot find a house to buy! DVF hat and scarf (waves to TheWeek), Paige coated skinnies, a gorgeous poncho from Pure Collection and a couple of Whistles tops from the House of Fraser sale. Basically did DH's Christmas shopping for me so he doesn't have to, I'm good like that. Also got this Me&Em dress. And now better buy some gifts for other people not just for myself!

Hope all well, will read back more later.

Decameron · 28/11/2013 17:33

Also, has anyone tried this top or do you know what the sizing is like for All Saints tops in general?

foxysocks · 28/11/2013 17:38

i find all saints generous, decam. I have a few 6s from there, but the 8s are ok in other styles, definitely on the larger side though.

lovely top, I really like the pia dress in navy. i might try it on at the weekend if I get time, will report back re: size. do you reckon the all saints sale will start soon? i'd really like sleep's leggings for weekend lounging too.

can you link your poncho?! I now have two, both from the white co, adore them. have been well impressed with white company recently having declared it all frumpsville in the past

OneLittleLady · 28/11/2013 17:51

MIG!!! I missed you!!

Hello all! Have been out shopping for presents, got Dp some leather gloves and some new leather belts, a Laura Ashley notebook and matching pens for my sister and so many sweets and chocolates, the bag handle broke! I went into the BHF shop and found a BNWT Zara silk feather print blouse for £2 so it's now in the wardrobe Grin
