ahhh, the cat has ruined the christmas tree already by pulling it down three times last night! I don't know how to keep her away from it Xmas Sad

QueenCadbury · 09/12/2013 10:39

Happy birthday turq. Love those coast boots.

shop and decam hope dc feel better soon. Chickenpox is hideous. Little dd hasn't had it yet. At least you'll be over it by Christmas.

I have a house full of men. We're getting a new boiler and a new tank so I'm spending the day making tea!

My HOF order has arrived. The perfect summer cardi for me is definitely a keeper. this blouse isn't. It's just far too fussy.

Still waiting for the l'wren Scott cardi to be dispatched as well as a gap order I placed when they had the 40% off but they've emailed to say they have a huge backlog because the offer was so popular. Hopefully it should all arrive by Christmas.

QueenCadbury · 09/12/2013 10:41

novice can't help with jo Malone. I'm not really that into perfume. I wish I was. I have about 3 bottles but always forget to wear it.

one I shouldn't laugh but I do find it really sweet that your cats climb your tree!

OneLittleLady · 09/12/2013 10:47

Laugh away queenC it is kinda funny, I will just have to get used to decorating the tree fresh every morning after sh'es pulled it down in the night. She is such a beautiful cat but she's an absolute menace!

shopafrolic · 09/12/2013 11:08

Novice When I bought Pomegranate Noir they uphold me by adding Blue Agava and Cacao - apparently you can wear them separately or mix? Might work?
I find with them that I can't smell them at all after about half an hour but everyone else still can. I'd be delighted to receive that as a gift :)

shopafrolic · 09/12/2013 11:17

upsold!!!!

Umlauf · 09/12/2013 11:49

novice White Jasmine and Mint is my favourite, it's lovely and spring like and would go well with the sultry evening one (Pom noir) and fresh summer day one (lime/basil). Amazing present, can I come and work for you?!!

My photo ready j brand jeans have arrived! I love them! When I'm wearing something slightly more attractive on top than a nursing bra and sudocrem face mask I'll put them on pin. They are, imo, more of a jegging than a jean though. I was expecting a heavier denim. 27 fits perfectly, even though my 30mih are too small. Odd! I was going to dye them dark indigo (got the onyx cheap) but quite like the grey now... Hmm!

Annianni · 09/12/2013 13:24

Who knows how Frame size?

Pin on mnv.
Oh, and opinions on coloured jeans please!

OneLittleLady · 09/12/2013 13:59

Ahhhh, deliveries would turn up just as I'd put a face mask on wouldn't they! The delivery guy tried to hold his laughter in but it escaped, there was no missing the face mask, it's bright green Xmas Grin

GrumpyOldHorsewoman · 09/12/2013 14:25

Novice the Blush Suede & Peony is beautiful and I wear the Earl Grey & Cucumber cologne which is actually v light and citrusy. I don't know if either of these are available as bath oils, but I can recommend their loveliness

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 15:26

Thanks everyone, so I went for the two bath oils (I discovered this year that she loves her baths) and white jasmine and mint cologne. I have also ordered the colognes that Grumpy recommended as well for others, and, the big gift set. Hope the sick mnvers are okay.

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 15:27

One, okay I giggled when I read about your cat. I am hiding behind QueenC who admitted it first!

OneLittleLady · 09/12/2013 15:32

Novice the cat is a terror! Apparently everything is her territory and any invasion of our things is to be treated with the utmost disdain and to be gotten rid of as soon as possible! It's like having a four legged, furry toddler!

Umlauf · 09/12/2013 15:55

I don't have a tree this year Xmas Sad because were off to the uk on Saturday but last year my hamster loved climbing it. SHe kept escaping and we'd find a tiny furry bauble half way up!

The Ellesse sweater arrived today as well and it's a beauty! although wearing it with the pale grey skinnies I feel like an extra from the Fresh Prince of Belair.

Glad you went for the white jasmine novice I do love it so, it smells of my wedding and honeymoon Grin

MarshaBrady · 09/12/2013 16:22

Happy birthday Turq! lovely shirt and boots.

Umlauf love that jumper.

Linus yes, at first I said he had to go in and replace, then I thought no hang on I will and get five more!

Decam yes dh is about as clumsy as a 2 year old, grr. So many beautfiul wedding gifts down the pan. Hope you all feel better soon.

Anni I really like dark coloured skinnies. But I can't do the light ones anymore.

Novice great to see you, gifts sound lovely.

Justa love the pinstripe pants.

QueenC lovely cardigan, I really can see you in the pins for your style.

Shop hope you're not getting ill too.

Dry how are you feeling after two day birthday celebrations?

Wave to everyone, this is getting too long!

I did a clear out on the weekend and got rid of the yellow c/e ones, they feel too wrong, as as some old jumpers and considering getting rid of Bruno burgundy ones. They just feel so odd on now.

So I am on the look out for good quality everyday stuff - jumpers, skinnies, shoes everything. Need to buy in the sales.

Got the dress and skinnies, will link when they arrive, just want to check sizes.

MarshaBrady · 09/12/2013 16:29

Also did not wear a coat today. 12 degrees, how about that!

Drywhiteplease · 09/12/2013 16:30

Marsha feel really happy thanks, not a flash birthday but a really nice one after a crazy night on Saturday. Have has a smile on my face all dayGrin
Feeling very Christmassy .... Think I may even have to buy a tacky Christmas jumper (100% acrylic of course) to wear to school the last week. All suggestions welcome

OneLittleLady · 09/12/2013 16:32

You can't get any tackier than the primark christmas jumpers Dry Xmas Grin

MarshaBrady · 09/12/2013 16:39

I've said this a few times now, but Sainsbury's! Grin. I pass them on the shop and they rather good.

foxysocks · 09/12/2013 16:46

Sleeeeep! I adore you. The AS leggings are amazing, fit like a dream and so so soft. Love! Am wrapping them up with a stripy vest as my Christmas pjs.

Ordered a rose gold whistles cuff and maison scotch sweater this am. Was hit by asos discount madness. Will have to love love love to keep, as ever.

Marsha I have my eye on a gorgeous dress but have bookmarked for sales. Will PM. X

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 16:56

Oh lordy, I am still in Christmas present fog, i cannot even begin to think about anything else. Not helped by the dcs who keep changing their minds on what santa is bring them Xmas Hmm. I am on the neighbours' children now - elc. Not even a sniff of fashion, unless you call a spiderman costume for ds fashion! Oh and I appear to have eaten my body weight in biscuits today!

OneLittleLady · 09/12/2013 17:00

There's no fashion here either novice unless you can't filiing a charity bag with too big clothes! I also realised, three hours after I was sat wrapping presents, that I had sellotape stuck to my bum under my skirt Xmas Blush

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 17:23

marsha I always thought you were totally sorted on your basics! Xmas Shock

I have just had to call dh and ask him to call Amex (it's his card) and tell them to stop messing about as they have just declined a payment to elc. I sensed that trickle of fear from dh that he thinks I have spent today going nuts, which isn't true at all Xmas Grin

Speaking of trickle of fear, I will soon be turning attentions to bil. Worse person in the world to buy for, never gives you any hint of what he likes, so it's all stab in the dark. In fact so are my 2 other bils. All four a nightmare to buy for. Last year, I saved my stress by getting couples presents.

Oh I am so envious of those of you who are all sorted out!

BrandyAlexander · 09/12/2013 17:24

wrapping presents One?
