Linus I can't spend ATM either - the thought that I might buy something and then see it in the sales is too much for me!

Wow - all so cynical today! (apart from One and Grumpy) Need to get the Christmas mood going...

All together now..'It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you gooooooo, take a look at the five and ten, glistening once again,......'

Haha I know, perhaps a new ultra tweed agency won the account. Ok I'll stop now

Just saw ds2's nativity. Very cute. Very Christmassy. To make up for the above.

Haha I wonder if a new ultra twee agency won the account, ok will stop now .

But did see ds2' nativity today, very sweet, makes up for the above.

Bugger it did post the first time. On the move. Distracted.

Hello!

I have been disgracing myself with James Martin.

How are you all?

I really like this dress from Heimstone. What do you all tink. Be honest now . And these pants are very cool along with that sky blue shirt.

I love the dress Mig I wish I had the legs for it

My last bah humbug I promise but I met James Martin IRL (used to have a big lust for him) - he was rude and grumpy - .
Like the pants Mig but not the dress (but then my entire wardrobe is pretty much trousers and very few dresses). Don't trust me…. I know nothing.

Not sure if I mentioned this before but if you haven't already then Google Portable North Pole……

Is that the emails off FC Shop?
Ds1 loves them, think we've done it for the past 2 years :o

Mig really like the pants, great with blue. Not sure on dress, might be short on material.

have got my pickled onions soaking, I stink of onion now though

Yup Anni - they're brill

I wish DS still believed in FC. Sadly though, he told me at four years old that he knew it was me who bought presents as he could hear me wrapping them in my bedroom late at night and that he'd seen scraps of wrapping paper around my bed!

Plenty of Christmas cheer here ........b fuzz and stollen with my dear friends. The Glade plug in is disgustingly over powering, but it does smell Christmassy will switch off before I asphyxiate a child Christmas cD on at work for 5hrs no kids, long story yes very Christmassy

Samta and Anni big stuff for you both....thoughts are with you.

Shop and Marsha I'll be with you both in spirit tomorrow .

I'm not the biggest KM fan don't like the heroin chic/anorexic look she stood for in her youth and she always looks like she needs a good bath but if I looked like her I wouldn't complain, she's still above average looks wise.

Thank you all your posts are very helpful and are keeping me from driving myself insane!
The move would still be in Europe,and and very close to the uk,but it won't be long , 18-24 months,maximum,and its a big step for dh,really good position, but it means we need to sell our house ASAP,we saw two properties that are good but they need a lot of work,really alot ! and he expects me to make a descion now! It's not like buying a dress!its a huge step,I don't want to decide on second best and regret it later!

and another issue which is what causing us all the distress,is schooling,dss is in an excellent school that is impossible to get in,and although he had a bit of difficulty at the start,he is doing really great now,if we move there is no way to grantee a place when we come back,and if we decide to go ahead and move we do need to leave by the beginning of the next school term!

We talked about wether we stay put,and he fly back and forth during weekends and and holidays,but two years is a long time! And he is against it completely,so either we move as a whole or stay where we are,And ATM he travels on a monthly basis ,and its really taking its toll on him,its a stress fuelled job,so if he keeps his current job,I really fear for his health! So this new job means less travels and a bit of stability,which to be honest I miss!

Sorry for the mammoth post,im sure I don't make sense!

Back to fashion now!

I have some questions:

Why to I have to login every time I want to post even though I've ticked "remember me"?

Why does the seam of a certain pair of skinnies always twist with wear and end up down the middle of my leg?annoying

And I think I need dark blue nail varnish to go with my new dress and I don't have time to buy any tomorrow this will bug me

Santa I feel for you. Would it be financially viable to rent out your current house? Surely the rent would more than cover renting wherever DH will be working (and possibly-extravagant I know, but...pay school fees to keep place open?)

Dry if you change devices between log ins, it will ask you to sign in again I think.
Certain jeans are cut so that the outer seam curves inwards to created the illusion of thinner thighs. This is true of Paige and Goldign Lures for definite - the woman in the Dressing Room was explaining it to me. So they aren't twisting in necessarily - they might just be cut that way.
Can't help with the blue nails……. sorry

Santa a friend of mine is going through a similar thing debating a relocation. Her DH has been offered his first position abroad. They aren't married. The country in question requires them to be married (they have 2 kids). So if he takes the job they have to marry in the next 8 weeks - not quite the romantic proposal she'd planned!

V difficult santa. I agree about staying as a family. Dh post in bristol was originally only for 6 months and I didn't want to leave my job or uproot dc for a short time so he moved without us. Within 2 months I'd handed in my notice and planned to move down anyway as it was just hideous being apart. Luckily a permanent position then became available so it all worked out.

If you do move what happens after the 18-24m. Would dh have a job or not? As sleep said do you need to sell? Can you rent? Would you be able to afford to buy another house if the prices go up in the next 2 years?
I'm sure you've thought about this already though.

So what do I do?
Get in car, drive to late opening boots
I have nail varnish urban blue nail varnish impulsive moi?

Santa PM

Revlon "Urban" ....dark blue

Paint them coral instead? Nice frock BTW

santa i've re read my post and it sounds really negative. Sorry, it wasn't meant to be. I just tend to cover all eventualities before making decisions.

I can FedEx you some blue nail varnish from Switzerland.

I agree, it is a lovely dress and coral nails might be a good alternative to blue.

santa (((hugs))) We never had to think about children when we moved countries but I can totally understand that it complicates matters.

I know that I could not bear to be live apart from DH for such a long time, I am already struggling enough as it is with his frequent traveling.
