Sorry Sleep bag talk was more exciting Grin I have a Splendid zip up hoody (NAP sale I think) which I bought for flying and it is nice. Wouldn't pay full price though. And the maxi is lovely, just needs a great sunhat!

Dry defo watch too... unless it was a really special bag!

Drywhiteplease · 20/03/2014 22:07

Thank you so much liberty Smile

Drywhiteplease · 20/03/2014 22:10

Not even started with tiles Marsha . The prob is my bathrooms are long and narrowish, no windows, velum so I can see the sky Smile . Don't need a bath in the en suite but if I don't have one the room may look empty, but may be cluttered with bath. Hmm other bathroom sorted. May just get a monster shower enclosure Smile

Drywhiteplease · 20/03/2014 22:11

VELUX!

De-lurking just to say I love that Boden biker jacket and the skinnies! I have a code if you want it...Wink

That's a great brand, was looking at Matki today.
I'm thinking this layout but a bit more modern might work.

Drywhiteplease · 20/03/2014 22:30

I want those little recessed tiled shelf things in the wall for bottles. Nice.
Sorry.....as you were, back to fashion

Sleepwhenidie · 20/03/2014 22:31

what are room dimensions Dry? And do you want a bath in the ensuite or will it be neglected (like mine)?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/03/2014 22:36

It won't look empty if you have the monster shower :) it'll look luxurious. I'm jealous, we have a small bathroom and it's got one of those short-length baths crammed in with a shower above. Would love just a walk in shower instead!

shopafrolic · 20/03/2014 22:38

It's a bugger to clean! We have a bath one side (for DH) and MY shower the other!

Sleepwhenidie · 20/03/2014 22:39

Have pinned a pic Dry (JUG) does that look anything like your size bathroom? I would have gone for huge shower but we put a bath in just for if/when we sell....

BrandyAlexander · 20/03/2014 23:56

Hello! Late night for me taking some of my team out. I will never eat again!

Great to hear who is coming to MU. Mara, Fedup, do come. Everyone is soooo nice, you won't regret it.

Bonsoir, I am in Paris soon, feel free to meet me at la gard du nord to hand me the 50% Balenciaga discount and I will happily dump my client meeting!GrinGrinGrin

libertychick · 21/03/2014 06:56

Grin at everyone ignoring Sleep's £££ gym wear! Given how much exercise you do the CPW would probably be very good. I'd take Blair's approach and get them in the sales.

Dry I would just go for a big shower in the ensuite. As long as you have a bath in the main bathroom.

BrandyAlexander · 21/03/2014 08:45

Head hurts. Hangover. First meeting in 16 minutes. Even my v lovely outfit won't pull this off!

shopafrolic · 21/03/2014 08:52

LOL @ Novice
Morning all - I dreamt about the khaki shoes - always a good sign!
In other news, DS has a tummy bug and that is no fun while he is still using a potty let me tell you!

Morning all

Hope Ds is feeling better soon Shop

In weight news, I am now 14 stone 12 lbs so under 15 stone for the first time in roughly three years I think Grin it's the first time I've weighed myself in three or four weeks so not a huge loss but a loss all the same
Thanks for all your ongoing support ladies Thanks

shopafrolic · 21/03/2014 09:27

Well done One that really is fantastic, I bet you feel great? I've dropped again, under 10st now - could do with stopping now TBH. I guess the medication is making my appetite a bit smaller (and the not drinking of course).
Wanted to congratulate Atterley Road on getting their refund process back on track. Still not as good as The Outnet or NaP but 10 days is a big improvement!

OneLittleLady · 21/03/2014 09:31

thank you shop i feel better than ever lately. sleep has been amazing and I'm so grateful for her help Thanks for sleep

the medication may well be affecting your appetite shop try to eat little and often so you don't overload your stomach, it will pass though, most medication side effects are not long term, especially the most common ones and normally pass after a few weeks Thanks

maradesbois · 21/03/2014 09:32

Morning everyone,

one well done you! How are the other weight loss/healthy eating ladies doing? liberty, anni and blair iirc. I weighed myself for the first time in a few weeks today and have lost about 2kgs which am delighted about. My clothes are starting to feel more comfortable and feel so much healthier for cutting right back on processed carbs.

Loving all the bag and birthday chat! If I had the choice between a bag and a watch for big birthday would go for watch too, probably a steel Rolex Daytona if money no object. My birthday is around the time of the mu too so that would be a nice welcome to the group!! Grin

shop successful lkb trip, love both pairs especially the khaki sandals.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 21/03/2014 09:42

Morning all

Great news One!

mara - yesterday was a fast day for me and the worst yet by far. I think it was PMT which didn't help as I felt terrible, really down and teary by the time I got home from work. Dinner probably took me over the 500 cals but I didn't care! And I keep forgetting to weigh myself so nothing to report, probably too early to tell.

shop hope your DS gets better soon and without you catching it!

What's the lovely outfit novice? It always seems to me like you have so many nice work dresses (and bags ofc!) :)

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 11:38

I dropped off the rust-coloured suede Toast flats at the swap shop. I couldn't wear them not even at home, so wrong for me. Only tried on a couple of times inside so someone might like them.

Dry big shower for sure.

shopafrolic · 21/03/2014 11:51

How does it work Marsha what did you swap them for?

OP posts:
libertychick · 21/03/2014 11:54

Well done Mara and One. I've lost 1.6kg so far which I'm happy with.

Blair I had that problem too when I had PMT when I did 5:2. Fasting on PMT days seems to make PMT much worse. Hope you feel better today.

Shop hope DS is better soon. Shame about the Toast flats Marsha but someone else will love them Smile

Sympathy for Novice - focus on the fact it's Friday!

MarshaBrady · 21/03/2014 12:00

That's great Liberty and Mara well done!

Shop you have to sell them then you get credit (which I think is 1/3 of original price). I also put that striped J Crew jumper in Blush which went straight away. Before that I put in about six things - all went and I had £100 (credit only) which meant I could get the Yohji jacket priced higher, but they reduced.

So really long-winded way of swapping loads for little. But I cba to EBay so it's a good way for me to clear stuff I've hardly used. Everything else goes to the charity part of the shop.
