I just read my post am laughing as the copy and paste went wonky and I really do look like I'm having a The Happening moment.

MarshaBrady · 12/03/2014 21:34

Thanks Sleep I love the colour. Not sure I can do cardigans, but will see!

Drywhiteplease · 12/03/2014 21:41

Yup that's a great colour Marsha

DH off skiing with the lads at 4am tomorrow Shock until Monday Sad but get to watch unlimited DVDs with kids and will wash sheets and dry outside heaven so I get clean bed all to myself selfish

How big are your feet QueenC? 5 1/2 here and don't look like the sort of slippers I wear !

SecretSquirrel13 · 12/03/2014 21:44

Dry I live doing that when dh goes away.
Marsha gorgeous colour cardigan.

Sleepwhenidie · 12/03/2014 21:47

I always do the clean bed thing too Dry Grin. It is some consolation! I was dreading getting all 3 kids ready and out by 7.40am every day this week (to get DS1 to school on time, DH usually takes him) and in desperation implemented a sticker chart. WHY did I never do this before?! They have been angels, it has been relaxed and calm Shock....a miracle does the effect wear off? We won't mention the fact that I've had to wake little DS2 every day at 7.30am when he is normally up and about at 6.30am Hmm!

OneLittleLady · 12/03/2014 22:04

Lovely cardigan Marsha the colour is fabulous.

libertychick · 12/03/2014 22:23

Yes gorgeous cardi Marsha good find.

I agree that a clean, fresh, solo bed is one of life's little pleasures.

I haven't tried a sticker chart Sleep so no idea if they wear off Smile. We have had to stick the black out blind back up as DD is waking earlier and earlier - fingers crossed for a post 6.30am wake up tomorrow.

Turquoiseblue · 12/03/2014 22:32

Lovely cardi Marsha - good call.

libertychick · 12/03/2014 23:06

Grumpy where are you??? Come and tell us what you are wearing to Cheltenham Smile

BrandyAlexander · 13/03/2014 01:56

I have outnet links!!

I bought 3 pieces of bling from Elizabeth Cole...

Hematite-plated Swarovski crystal bracelet

Mint coloured Swing rhodium-plated Swarovski crystal bracelet

floral Hematite-plated Swarovski crystal bracelet

My obsession with cheap ballet flats continues

Also got James Perse wool blend sweater

Finally, I decided to get swanky jeans. I only do cheap jeans so this is a departure for me, but I loved my J crew ones from last year. I got 7 all for mankind low rise however I got them in a 25 which ought to be fine but read after that it says those with curvy hips may want to take the next size up, so there is bugger all chance of it fitting me!!

I also ordered the Oscar de la Renta suede pumps but got a note tonight saying there's something wrong so I can't have them. :(

QueenCadbury · 13/03/2014 07:25

marsha I love that cardigan!

novice lovely bracelets

dry I'm anywhere between a 5 and 6 but I have quite narrow feet which unfortunstely suit dainty shoes best.

Is it really foggy with anyone else?

LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 07:51

The colour of that cardigan is so beautiful marsha! I love it!

Great haul novice! I hope those jeans fit.

I am wearing my Jimmies and a bright blue LS J Crew painter tee I bought in the sales. I really like the fit of these and the neckline suits me better than a crew neck.

Oh and I ordered a dress and a jacket from Hush last night as I had a 10% off code. Not a big discount but a discount nevertheless.

Will try and find links.

LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 07:53

dress

I hope it's white and not cream or ivory.

Drywhiteplease · 13/03/2014 07:55

Not much fog here. Bit misty but the sun is burning through. No socks again today but need to scrape my car, so will be a bit chilly first thing

Sleep you'll be relieved to hear, I'm sure, that the sheets went on a boil wash at 6.30am !Grin bloody hell, I'm turning into an old lady

Novice I love all of those beautiful bracelets ESP the first blue! really my sort of thing....love love them. Think jeans often give with wear, and , as someone who always seems to buy jeans too big, I think they might be ok Smile

Shop how you finding the book? I'm going to have a good long read tonight, bit slow so far though....hope it improves.

LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 07:55

jacket

I hope the pink in this jacket is not too bright but after the neon yellow tee surprise, I am bracing myself.

Drywhiteplease · 13/03/2014 07:57

Linus I always love your style.

LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 07:57

love these flats

But not sure about sizing so didn't order them.

shopafrolic · 13/03/2014 08:03

Dry slow going so far but I'm only reading in 20 minute chunks.
Sleep SORRY Flowers I completely forgot (blame you know what).
Another lb lost - I am bang on 10st!!
Need to catch up on links.
Novice is today the day? :)

LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 08:17

[thank] dry! That means a lot!

Well done on the weightloss shop!

Mine seems to have stagnated but I hope swimming at least twice a week will kickstart things again.

LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 08:18

Sigh Thanks dry

shopafrolic · 13/03/2014 08:20

Linus I really miss the wine :(

OP posts:
LinusDKD · 13/03/2014 08:26

I could never give up wine completely but I'm ok with not drinking on my two fast days.

I think we now weigh the same but you are like a foot talker than me Blush

shopafrolic · 13/03/2014 08:29

I can't be a foot taller Linus!!! I'm 5ft 9?

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 13/03/2014 08:55

Morning. QueenC I did think of you when I ordered it Grin

Thanks everyone, just have to be careful it's right too not just gorgeous framboise.

Well done Shop. Believe it or not I've gone off wine altogether, always say yes to champers however.

MarshaBrady · 13/03/2014 08:57

Linus I love all those, the dress and jacket. And the yellow flats. I'm wearing mine today.
