Hope Ds is feeling better soon Shop

MarshaBrady · 08/12/2013 21:13

Shop I know. There's a £350 price difference . Spent a fortune today as had to buy a new bed and mattress etc for ds2. Still in a small one.

QueenC sounds fun, I can see you in that style.

Santa yep I might do both. First I'm going to try glasses direct, they send you four frames free to try on at home. Sounds good, like NaP for glasses!

shopafrolic · 08/12/2013 21:22

Yup mig was a complete PITA.
Marsha random i know but check what they sell in Boots too. They have a good range of designer frames (some random names too) and by signing up to their contact lens plan I got half price frames and loyalty points. Do you wear contacts? Glasses direct does sound good though! would love to try at home.
Queenc can totally see you in the looks you're pinning.

MarshaBrady · 08/12/2013 21:25

It looks really good. One pair for about £100 for frames AND lens and second pair free! Am swooning at that.

At the local optician it is £100 lens plus frames about £160 and test about £30. I've ordered two K Lagerfeld ones to try and some others. So quite good designer. Am impressed at saving

MarshaBrady · 08/12/2013 21:35

MarshaBrady · 08/12/2013 21:44

Shop I couldn't post earlier because I was sooo cross. But dh broke one of the Liberty baubles. Oh my goodness.

Drywhiteplease · 08/12/2013 21:46

Evening all......what a fab day I've had! And thanks so much for your lovely birthday wishes, you're all so kind.
Parents took over so I've been chilling and doing my decs with birthday champagne (did NOT feel like a drink after last nights shenanigans but would have been rude to say no to a bottle that had travelled up from LondonGrin)

Poor you Shop what a crappy day soooooorrrrrryyyyyyyyyyGrin hope cutie feels better soon and you don't get it x

novice are you ok?

Santa and Anni hope you're ok.

QueenC your style day sounds fab

shopafrolic · 08/12/2013 21:55

DH????????? NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! Was it payback because you took the boots to meet me?
dry my weight is the lowest it's been for years. Thanks Sleep If I did get D&V it might shift the last few lbs!

shopafrolic · 08/12/2013 21:56

Yes Novice where are you?? I miss you. Humph.

MarshaBrady · 08/12/2013 21:58

Me too. Come back soon Novice!

Shop I KNOW. It was an accident. Ds1 moved the bag on to the bed, then they all got on the bed and broke one. I was SO cross! Have calmed down now, but seriously!?

Dry sounds fabulous.

justasecond · 08/12/2013 22:03

Happy Birthday Dry!! Hope you had a great day
I spent a lovely day shopping with my friend today and bought these
www.zara.com/uk/en/trf/trousers/pinstripe-trousers-c269212p1560024.html Have not worked out what to wear with them yet esp footwear but seemed a good casual alternative to jeans. I think I need to dress them down rather than up. Any ideas? btw they are full length on me, the pic looks like they unpicked the hem for the ultra tall model.

shopafrolic · 08/12/2013 22:08

Catching up with Jonathan Ross. Love Olivia Coleman.

Turquoiseblue · 08/12/2013 22:42

Oh yeay, I m back Smile ... Or rather broadband is.
Off to catch up, hope everyone is super.

Not before a a link though - have lots of Christmas and birthday shopping to catch up on.

got these last week and they re just perfect - on an offer too at the moment - wore them with acne skinnies and they look great. love the leather/ suede combo
this this shirt is what i m wearing today with my red maison scotch skinnies and black jalouses
Been spoiled for the birthday - loving it ! my favourite chocolate n coffee for breakfast.
Happy birthday Dry Thanks Wine Cake
off to have a catch up on this tread as have missed almost 2 weeks

shopafrolic · 08/12/2013 22:47

Happy birthday turquoise love the blouse!

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 08/12/2013 23:13

Goodness - birthdays everywhere! Hope you've had lovely days, ladies.

Marsha v Angry for you. Carelessness drives me crackers.

Hope everyone feels better soon Shop. Cleaning up that stuff is not what Sundays are made for.

Honest to God, I've indulged to such an extent today I could pass for 3 months PG. Four courses at lunch, including the most sublime Guinea Fowl and bread sauce. Everything that has passed my lips today has been of the utmost deliciousness but Blotus position doesn't begin to cover it. Think I'll have to start checking out maternity fashion to accommodate my expanding waistline and the festivities have only just begun!

LinusDKD · 09/12/2013 07:34

Morning!

It was -4 here this morning. Brrr! Loving my Brora wristwarmers.

That Maison S blouse is gorgeous turq And happy birthday!

Lovely trousers justa. I like a bit of pinstripe.

marsha I can understand you got pissed of with DH! Maybe another trip to Liberty with his cc might soften the blow? Wink

dry sounds like you had a fab time.

The Jalouses in midnight have been dispatched! I just hope they are the real deal as I have never heard of that website.
I had them delivered at DPIL address as I didn't fancy the discount being cancelled out by the duties I would have had to pay.

Drywhiteplease · 09/12/2013 08:07

Oh Turquoise I knew I had a birthday twin Grin happy happy birthday for yesterday! Xx

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 08:41

Morning everyone.... Sorry for going awol! happy belated birthday to Dry and Turq x

shopafrolic · 09/12/2013 09:03

Waves to Novice
Morning all! So no nursery for DS now for 48 hours. He's a little off colour and not eating loads so for the best. Will need to think of ways to keep him entertained……I'm not feeling the best myself if I'm honest but will ignore.

LinusDKD · 09/12/2013 09:18

Hi novice

Poor DS shop! D&V is horrible! I hope DS feels better soon!

Decameron · 09/12/2013 09:51

Happy birthday Dry and Turquoise!

Glad you enjoyed your style day, QueenC. Hopefully really seems to know her stuff.

Very annoying about the decoration, Marsha. DD2 broke three yesterday (but she is only 2!).

Get well soon, mini Shop. DD1 has chicken pox and is very itchy and upset, DH has man flu and I have a sore throat.

Sleep's advice is great, I've been following it and Notyummy's from the old W&A thread and lost the couple of pounds that were annoying me!

Me and Em sale is on, have ordered a couple of dresses and tops. I love Me and Em!

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 10:07

Oh no! Poor Shop household and decam household. Sick children just so distressing. I have today off work and I am sorting out Christmas presents. I am feeling guilty that I should have gone swimming with ds this morning. :( He doesn't know anything different, but my nanny does have a bad habit of saying "oh, he would have loved it if...". Smile, nod and ignore normally works but still.

So, I am on the Jo Malone website and thinking of putting a little gift set of 3 bath oils together for my PA for Christmas. I have lime and basil and pomegranate noir. Would anyone have a 3rd recommendation?

While I was looking around the, I looked at other gift sets and I am also thinking of getting this signature collection gift set for sil but just wondering whether the smells will be too overpowering as she gave birth a couple of months ago?
