No idea Anni, but well done!

Your jumper has been in my head all day Marsha, the scissors has been hovering a few times but I thought WWMD and decided best not

Amber, Simon Cowell didn't exactly look comfy in his suit I realised I was mixing my years. I saw him in 2011. In 2012, Prince (as in the pop star) had the Cowell box. He wasn't that much taller than me

Yes D(on't)DWM did.

I'd use a bodkin and poke them through to the other side Liberty.

What's a bodkin???

Love it Marsha

Hi all-

Amber You are clearly very jealous that assorted randoms are not offering you no strings attached Chanel bags .

Clearly all that worship has addled her cognitive function to the point of being unable to make a simple decision about what colour bag without the collective intelligence of a bunch of strangers on t'internet.

Queen

have just seen your post. did you think P.E?

Loads of for you.

Get well soon.

Bodkin as in a fat blunt needle, usually used for sewing knitted items.

Is it called something else?

Lovely word Bodkin. Would make a great name for a dog.

Phase one of clothes sort is complete. I counted, 42, yes 42 skirts in total in my wardrobe massive pile now waiting to be sent off! Drawers are up next, I am a bit fuzzy over what's actually in them to be honest

mig, yes they were thinking PE as I'd taken the pill over Christmas (now stopped due to migraines) but scans and blood tests all negative. I'm feeling pretty washed out now so I'm thinking the viral diagnosis is correct.

Shop these look a bit sheen-y. I'd be happy with that.

Oblig funny face at the bottom.

poor you QueenC it must have been pretty frightening plenty of for you

Christ Queen you really have been through the mill lately. What a scare.

Time to hunker down and be looked after.

Hello All, A PM from shop reminded me I'd not been on for a while.

Queen C, how scary! glad you're home and all ok xx

Novice gorgeous bag! fab colour!

dry, Ascot sounds fabulous!

Not many purchases to report (and everything on Pin), but loving my impulse Whistles buy in the sales: www.pinterest.com/pin/283023157806301962/

But even more so my All Saints boots (none online, but a couple of black and loads of brown in store): www.pinterest.com/pin/283023157806349578/. Super duper comfy, have worn them all day straight from box with no discomfort in the least (hurray!). I did order the Hudson Enckes, but they were too gapey at my ankle, and we're really uncomfortable. Plus I managed to suck out all their cool as soon as they touched my feet .

All Saints boots

Whistles jumper

Marsha yup - I'd take that. Are they our jeans then? Or just similar?
Waves in a more public forum to Carrie x

I is a right jealous bitch, innit?

Seriously though, you can't reason with the unreasonable.

definitely just a mad jealous bitch Amber

No idea Shop! but will be happy if they are similar.

Good one Carrie, lovely stuff.

Can't argue with stupid, you mad jealous old bugger you Amber

But might have to come and lamp you if you recommend Bottega to any more Orange folk .

liberty I've spent the last half hour searching online for the pully thing....it's not a bodkin. I'll keep looking. It's a brilliant little tool. If I have to I'll take a picture.

His is the tool. So you push it through the wrong side of the jumper with the little spiky bit facing down, the hooky bit catches the tread on the right side as it pushes through, and as you pull it back the spiky bit closes and grabs the thread through to the wrong side. Brilliant
Because it's so tiny and fine you can poke it through the finest knit/wool crepe fabrics too......I've looked on j lewis website! will look in my local haberdashery shop when I'm next there. Can't remember where I bought it but I've had it for years.

The Chanel bags thread is quite gobsmacking

that looks like the tool you get to make latch hook rugs except smaller
