We used to have two regular posters who were really good with their advice - Mrs Martin for Make-up and beauty care and PerryCombOver for Style. Anyone know where they have gone??

Also, slightly off topic, but one of the posters on AllWornOut blog - lady with the blonde crop, (Rachel? I think) doesnt seem to post any more. Does anyone know where she is - loved her posts and was wondering if she was Mrs Martin or Perry?

TIA

Dr. Nick i don't rely on anyone Smile but I found their posts....good/ of interest.

Holly i think you have summed it up perfectly. I had just had a baby and used to while away the long sleepless nights in mumsnet reading loads.

MrsCampbellBlack · 02/02/2014 14:55

That's because they are Holly Wink

DrN is just well jell.

Mrs cb I can never remember which awo lady you are: the one with the lovely knitwear and sparkly necklaces or the one that doesn't post much anymore, possibly also with a knitwear and necklace theme? Don't mean this to sound as sneery as it sounds I do like the blog and have made some good purchases as a result.

I used to wonder about MrsMartin, she came from nowhere, was SOOO enthusiastic and would reply to every single person on her threads. Then she vanished. I think the only thing I bought on her recommendation was the Leighton Denny Crystal nailfile, which is brilliant, nothing from QVC.

MrsCampbellBlack · 02/02/2014 16:08

I don't blog anymore but was traceywornout.

Umlauf · 02/02/2014 16:12

I love the wornout blog too and check every week or so, I was also wondering the other day whether the ladies were around here still!

DrNick · 02/02/2014 16:36

all of hte blogs I check are droning on about the cold atm - the rain seems to pass them by
where is this legendary cold - its the mildest winter for years!

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/02/2014 16:48

Which blogs do you still check? Am bored, bored, bored.

MrsCampbellBlack · 02/02/2014 16:51

I only look at wornout as they're my friends. I think its a rubbish time of years for blogs. And some just do pages and pages of stuff from phase 8 or wherever, god I can look at that myself.

Actually I do look at WIT still but that's it. Mind you, am about to embark on lots of house renovations so tend to look at that stuff more.

DrNick · 02/02/2014 16:52

I am afraid they are all the same.
skinnies ( ro weird baggy jogging bottoms) scarves bags jackets

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/02/2014 16:52

WIT gone v odd again - weird orange scarf especially.

DrNick · 02/02/2014 16:53

I've been pretty much living in a Whistles fabric biker and Whistles tube skirts at work.

DrNick · 02/02/2014 16:55

i loathe bloody prim and proper style guile but find myself drawn to it like a moth to a flame.

i just need to lose 7lbs for a couple of close fitting tops to fit

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/02/2014 16:58

I like that. Have a Whistles black and white one and adore it. I wear with an ancient silk Ted Baker top or Hobbs cowl neck t-shirts, plus blazer or above mentioned biker.

MrsCampbellBlack · 02/02/2014 16:59

DrNick · 02/02/2014 17:00

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 02/02/2014 17:01
