MNVogue - Vol 28 (the Christmas edition)

[libertychick]

Calling on style and fashion fanatics, this is the space for frivolity and fun (though it gets a bit tense at sales time) . All welcome.

Hello all....so dressed rehearsal today, only lost one child off the back of the stage! During the sodding bloody grand finale crib scene too! He was fine. Need to get the snow flakes sorted, not enough wafting "I need more wafting guys! You're snowflakes not children!!!!"
Big day tomorrow.
Some great links.
umlauf hair looks great!
one like a lot here, once we all started having children we decided to buy only for them with a small pressie for adults wine or coffee normally

dry I quite like getting gifts for the adults, makes a change from buying toys! Luckily, this year they seem to be more understanding about not getting big presents. it's taken some of the pressure off as I can't magic money out of thin air!

Just received another e-mail from JL. Basically they agree it is not the level of service I should expect from them but that's it. Oh and they hope I can find another present soon and wish me a Merry Christmas.

Poor DS had a fever this afternoon so I went to fetch him from nursery earlier than usual. He's sitting next to me watching Mr. Maker and drinking apple juice so I hope he's better soon.

Good news re BA one and shop! I agree, it sounds like they are in trouble so it's best to stay clear of them.

We I buy for all our siblings plus a couple of cousins. Much as I could do without the stress I do get some fantastically thoughtful presents from the sibs. Source of stress, much?!

hello hello. hugs to all that need them, grrrrrrs for all the poor service.

i feel rather unispired fashion wise. wore a jumper dress and fleece lined tights today with bikers - talk at DDs school in the morning then lunch with friends. now FORCING Dh to clear out and organise his study, he drives me mental with untidiness and a complete lack of understanding re: regular declutters. grrr.

bought a charcoal muscle tee in the matches sale before it sold out , getting ready for two months of warmth, hurrah hurrah!

foxy your post made me laugh!! DH has been (at last because I said I won't clean it and he'll get vermin in it) sorting out his study. So far it's taken 3 days..... "Just get on with it, stop watching sport on TV, manage your time better and file stuff as you go along instead of letting it pile up until it resembles bloody Kilimanjaro!" of course I keep this to myself

One what did you actually receive from BA? Something nice? Any links? (to redeem their dire situation)

Shop it's a silver Pandora bracelet for my sister2's birthday. Sister1 already has one so she's got a kindle which is what she asked for

Wow! How lovely

I feel certain she's going to love it Shop she's wanted one for ages but with a husband and three children, their money is tight at the best of times. Our brother is buying her a bead for it so she will be started off by family

what a lovely gift One, so thoughtful

dry he drives me quite quite mad with his study. I opened a drawer today and almost WEPT at the sheer volume of crap stuffed inside. i just don't get it at all, I hate too much stuff and love everything clear and organised.

Foxy Dp is similar, he just piles stuff up and then it's like he doesn't see it! I'm forever telling him to shift stuff. The study here is mine and it's my little haven, laid out just how I like it with all my musical instruments and shelves for my music books.

That's it! I'm ditching DH and marrying foxy.....clean and clutter free are my favourite words!

Yay! A MN marriage!!!

Thanks for the boot links Linus and QueenC. I was in town earlier and watched a woman trying to cross the (cobbled) road in a pair of high wedge boots - very comical. She staggered on bent legs and I started to wonder if that would be me...

I have heard precisely nowt about my BR order and am still waiting impatiently for the emerald silk pussy bow blouse, whereas stuff I'd ordered from BR the day before The L'wren scott collection came out arrived early last week. You're right - it's not good enough.

I've had a stressful day too, which included spending an hour on the phone to Apple trying to get the new ipod I bought DD2 to work. It won't and now they're sending me a new one which I've been assured will be here before Christmas it better be

What would you wear on your big day dry and foxy?

You probably won't invite me as I have several drawers stuffed with junk.

one those are very generous gifts! I hope you get some nice ones in return!

Fingers crossed it gets to you in time Grumpy that said, when I've had dealings with Apple before, they've always been fairly speedy getting things out to me. Might be a bit more difficult with it being a week before Christmas though

Oh yes linus is right,we need to know about wedding outfits!

bagzee this one dress and pud all in one!

lol brilliant Dry!

Perfect dry! you're so organised!

But think of the crumbs dry!!!!

Ooh yes linus and a bit sticky AND how would one go to the loo?

"One" not as in One but as in "I think I'm the Queen "one".... Just to clarify

Is Zoe Ball wearing the Zarita dress on SCDITT tonight?
