Piccy novice? Grin

Glad the blood test results were good shop!

santamarianovella · 15/05/2014 21:21

Warning :do not open the placenta booties blog ,I wish I could unsee what I've seen!
I had a CS too,dry and we signed for placenta banking,but I had issues prior to delivery and by the time I had dd,it was not good enough for banking,but that's all I can think of as proper use of placenta!but booties and jewellery out of it is just Shock, doesn't it stink or rot? Or something?

novice would love to see the ring, Smile I need some beautiful images to bleach out what I can't stop imagining !oh why oh why did I click!!!!

justasecond · 15/05/2014 21:31

Yay Shop ! I saw the AH earlier and thought of you was going to come on here and link it but obvs you have been busy! Its a really lovely bag and I much prefer it to the bayswater. Good news about the tests too.
Will be back later when I have caught up

shopafrolic · 15/05/2014 21:36

Hello Novice... Don't leave us in suspense and what did you wear to your party?

BrandyAlexander · 15/05/2014 22:13

I can't find a link.It's a yellow sapphire with diamonds.

The party was very casual. I wore bejewelled j crew top and j crew matchstick jeans. Raindance ring which I am rather attached to since I ahem mislaid it.

My neighbour is doing a party tomorrow. I am think chiffon cowl neck and jeans?

shopafrolic · 15/05/2014 22:16

Sounds good Novice. Happy to hang around you like a puppy dog until you lose the Raindance again :)

ShopGrin question for you? How many dress sizes have you gone down? 1 or 2?

shopafrolic · 15/05/2014 22:31

One I think. I need to get a tape measure out. Why do you ask Novice?

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 15/05/2014 22:33

I was 10st 7 when I last saw you I think. I'm 9st 9 now (and wish I wasn't).
Biggest thing is I need new underwear! Everything is hanging off....

I am usually really crap at spotting weight loss unless it's a lot live in ka la land but I can see it in your face.

shopafrolic · 15/05/2014 22:43

Yup, people are saying face, bum and guttingly boobs have disappeared!

Morning!

Quick question. Will the sales have started by 5th July?

Fedupnagging · 16/05/2014 06:19

Morning everyone,

Lovely bag Shop, love the style. So long as you don't sell a child for a bag, it's all ok Wink. Good news on the bloods results.

Absolutely no fashion news here- the French connection t was oos when I ordered so probably need to check back.

You've all got me thinking about the sales now - not sure I'm up to doing a spreadsheet though! Trousers and dresses are top of the list I think. Oh and a few more boden cropped cardi's.

Fedupnagging · 16/05/2014 06:22

The sales usually start around the beginning of July I think. Someone is bound to know.

shopafrolic · 16/05/2014 06:34

Morning all. DH has shared his cold, I feel rotten. Sofa and TV arriving today!
Not sure on sales Linus I thought Blair said June?

OP posts:
Turquoiseblue · 16/05/2014 06:56

Yes 2-3 rd week in June for sales.
I cracked yesterday and bought the top I d been watching in sandro- there was a 30% private sale in store and I figured that was as good as it would get before it sold out anyway. Will try find a link. It s so lovely. Smile
Shop - am off to check out your link but I love Ah bags. My sister has 2 and they re just fab. I have a valorie and mini gracie. I love her stuff. Hope your bag is perfect when it arrives. Good call on the mulberry. Glad the bloods were ok. Have your symptoms settled at all? Sounds like you re a bit vulnerable too picking up dh s cold. Good day for new sofa and tv to arrive. Can you snuggle up and take it easy for a day? Oh and congrats on the new wheels.
Novice -party outfit sounds lovely and the bling.
Soyo - if the colour s not right and you re really going to have to work to wear the jacket maybe see if you can get same in colour that suits you better?
Not going there about the placenta booties - sounds vile.
Dh has some time off work this morning so we re going to go for breakfast. Am ridiculously excited as last few weeks have been so busy it s like we have hardly had a chance to sit and talk.

LinusDKD · 16/05/2014 07:12

Sales instore as well turq?

If I do come to the MU I might stay overnight and indulge in some sales shopping. Wink

LinusDKD · 16/05/2014 07:12

Sorry you are feeling rotten again shop!

Fedupnagging · 16/05/2014 07:15

Will keep a look out for the start of the sales although will try to wait til 5th July and have a spree look before we meet up. I am coming to london in half term but sales won't have started by then.

Hope you enjoy breakfast turq - be lovely if you manage to sit outside in the sun.

Drywhiteplease · 16/05/2014 08:04

Going for lunch after my half day. Am taking clothes to change into as I really want to wear my new jacket.....am I being vain? or is this normal behaviour on MNV

Shop can't believe your bad luck. I recommend a morning in the sunshine with a good book and lots of tea while DS is at nursery Smile

shopafrolic · 16/05/2014 08:17

Linus PLEASE come PLEASE
I'll be alright. DH has it and could quite possibly die - man flu. I have a sore throat and a bunged up head. Have to get my hair done tomorrow and no cold is going to stop me!

OP posts:
MarshaBrady · 16/05/2014 08:17

Dry yes do! It's a beautiful day and deserves an outfit that fits with the weather and the loveliness of lunch after a half day.

Turq breakfast sounds fab, I'm a big fan if the breakfast out with dh. I prefer it to dinner, I just realised. Unless it's a long summer evening, then that's nice too.

Novice great to see you, love the outfits.

Shop good work on the bag, I think it's perfect for you. Just pm me re tomorrow if you feel too ill, no pressure either way. Smile

shopafrolic · 16/05/2014 08:28

I'm wearing my James perse top today with GAP skinniness and Camo espadrilles. VERY casual but I love this top. It is beautifully soft, drapes well and the arm holes aren/t huge so they don't gape or let skin bulges escape! Very pleased. The AH bag has dispatched already so this morning's mission is to get EBaying. I found the matching purse for my Bayswater, the Coach bag and purse, some Jo Malone perfume and some other bits so fingers crossed......

MarshaBrady · 16/05/2014 08:46

Shop pm me if you need to cancel tomoz.

Good outfit. What's everyone wearing today?
