Following on from vol 28 here

Join us for fashion talk and further sales shopping.

We always love new people to join. So c'mon, what are you waiting for. Come and have a happy vogue new year...

I've got you babe

It takes two

Happy birthday Just hope you had a fabulous day

queen I hope you don't have a hangover in the morning after your antics I would never left dh do the 'lift' on me I'd probably fly right over his head and face plant the floor That's if he can even left me that high in the first place

at all the jean links. I so desperately need decent jeans but as mentioned before jean shopping fills me with dread. At 5'3 and hourglass I had no idea I was such an awkward shape

We are being screwed over with the shipping and taxes from NAP and outnet. It will be an expensive way to try jeans on.

Dh has found an outlet mall on the mainland. Looks like some good brands so I think a trip in the future is on the cards.

onelittlelady I'm sorry to hear about your daily struggles. I was also tested for the very same thing a few months back. The pain was incredible so you have my up most sympathies. For me it was a trapped pectoralis minor muscle which required daily physico therapy for three months.

silversixpence love the coat. Definitely a right investment. Where about are you, we are getting charged such huge rates for shipping and taxes that suddenly things become not such good buys
My only concern with the coat would be the sleeves. I just can't get on with that sleeve length. After living for so long in the M.E i really can't cope with the cold
My cape is the same. I would wear it to death but I don't like seeing sleeves poking out of the bottom!

Happy birthday Justa!!!!!!! Glad you had a great day. What presents did you get?

Also happy birthday to mini Liberty!!

Happy birthday just

I wanted to do islands in the stream but dh apparently doesn't know it so we did the jungle book one that Robbie and olly murs do. We have to stop singing now as PIL can't sleep.

Love to you all xxxxxx

Happy birthday just

marsha forgot to say that I adore the shirt

Happy birthday Justa!

QueenC you're simply the best. Can't live if living is without you . Good belters.

thank you Barbie it is tough but I just have to keep going, I refuse to be defeated by it and I agree, the pain is incredible but the easy option of sitting at home and doing nothing is not the one I want so I will keep fighting

Thanks Barbie!

Am reading good things about these and these

I like the look of the Levi's though I suspect I'd need the 'bold curve'

Thanks everyone!!
I got victor and rolf flowerbomb perfume and this bag and these shoes all chosen by me as DH bit useless at presents!
Also some money from db and dm which makes me feel slightly better about my overspending in the sales.

just lovely, lovely gifts

Lovely presents Just flowerbomb is lovely isn't it?

I have pinned something on mnv I have been a bad girl...can anyone talk me out of it pls...

just and onelittlelady if you like flower bomb you should look out for the Prada candy (dark pink) and Vera wang princess. Both in the same family of fragrances.

I like the pin

i have passed my judgment on your pin Just

Ladies I have a few questions about cashmere.

I really do not trust the dry cleaners here, not because of their skills but more the language barrier of something were to go wrong.

So my questions are:

Can you hand wash?

If so do I use normal detergent?

How often to you wash your cashmere? For example if it's not soiled and you have layered over something do you were a few times?

What's the best way to store it?

Sorry for all the silly questions. I think after a few bad dry cleaning instances I'm not completely comfortable.

Barbie1 I always wash mine on the hand wash setting in the machine and it comes out fine - if it's especially delicate then I hand wash in the sink with a bit of shampoo. I only wash if its dirty or stained though so after a few wears usually.

Where are you in ME? We are on holiday in UAE/Oman but DH is having interviews for jobs out here..he's saying most of the jobs in his field are in Saudi Arabia though which I'm not too enthusiastic about.

I'm not in the ME any more. Left 18 months ago living in Dubai was the best four years of my life. I know mn noramlly frowns about Dubai but it was amazing. I would go back in a heartbeat.
Dh has registered that I'm unhappy out here in Korea so we are looking to go back within the next few years, if not there then Abu D.
Saudi isn't the easiest of places to live, especially as a female. I have had friends out there who found it very restrictive and not a friendly place to live. Sorry!!

Where abouts are you staying?

Oh and thanks about the cashmere tip.

My machine is all in Korean, apart from a few settings that the agent kindly wrote the translation for. There doesn't seem to be a handwash option, or if there is I definitely can't read it

Morning. I handwash all my cashmere in laundry bags on the machine setting. Use a wool specific detergent. I only wash after multiple wears as I always wear something underneath.
Marsha taught me the roll trick. To dry, lay flat on a thick towel and then roll the towel up and gently squeeze to remove excess moisture. Then dry flat on an airer, or another dry towel.......

That's 6 years of boarding school right there Shop that and knowing how to change a duvet cover. Or maybe dh feigns his inability

Lovely to have an international element, hope you go back to the ME soon Barbie.

Justa lovely, lovely gifts!
