Hope DS is ok Shop how are you feeling in yourself now?

Great shorts linus

Very basic outfit today as I'm not going out at all (doctors have said a weeks(!) rest due to the leg and foot swelling) black zip ankle skinnies with spike detailing n the pockets and a grey my little pony tee.

I am throwing caution to the wind and having a 10.38 espresso double. I'm going to regret it later!

LinusDKD · 22/05/2014 10:56

I can see marsha buzzing around London in a caffeine induced rage! Grin

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 10:58

Lol Linus Grin I don't get rage but I do talk very quickly. You know that film Limitless with Brad Cooper (vg btw) it's as close as I'm going to get to that.

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 11:00

Without the super 90% enhancing illegal drug that is.

Sleepwhenidie · 22/05/2014 11:26

Thanks for the feedback and for the possible referral fedup, I'd be happy to have a 15min chat with anyone who thinks they may be interested and want to find out if it's for them.

One try and enjoy the rest!

In other news. At Christmas one of my girlfriends bought me a whole load of L'Occitane products to try. I have just used this hand cream and it is AMAZING. really makes the skin on my hands look fresher and younger. Thought I'd share....

Hello ladies
Just been catching up after a few days in south Wales - would thoroughly recommend where we were for anyone who fancies a stay-cation - beautiful countryside and spectacular beaches.

Have a lovely holiday Blair
Orvieto is gorgeous Sleep , some friends got married there a few years ago, May bank holiday too actually & the weather was fantastic.

Loving all the summer outfit links, I didn't really pack for summer in Wales and realised I need some new stuff before my Ibiza weekend in July.

Can't remember if it was on here or on the work thread but someone was looking at Jones pointy flats? They're 25% off at the moment
All Saints are having 25% sale too if anyone fancies it

Drywhiteplease · 22/05/2014 16:34

Oh no Stokey don't tempt me, I love the black ones. I wore my Boden silver pointy flats for a few hours at work. They hurt my feet Sad need breaking in I hate that part. Am working navy and silver a lot this week for work.
Shop hope DS is ok and yey to your DH, your Mulberry will sell honest.
Am having 7 friends round for tapas this evening...gutted it's too chilly to open the bi folds but the pink fizz is in the fridge, so I'm happy about that could have some now!
Think Gap straight cut jeans, fcuk cream lace shell top and these from last year......

Stokey · 22/05/2014 16:43

Well Dry your post on Gigis yesterday made me realise they are what I need for the summer Grin

Black Jones ones are nice but suede so rubbish in the rain. The blue are just a bit bright for me, at least for work

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 16:46

Nice Stokey

Love those Dry they are awesome and very you. Remember the black ones?. they were kind of the same but didn't feel right, and you were spot on, funny thing sometimes.

I have booked a last minute babysitter so I can join dh out with his friends. Very rock and roll for me. Can't wait! No idea what to wear though of course.

shopafrolic · 22/05/2014 16:58

Good call Marsha - have fun!
Dry your social life is full on. Love it. Wish I lived nearer....I love tapas. I hope you're making some dodgy Sangria too?

Drywhiteplease · 22/05/2014 17:14

Ooh I'd invite you all round Smile .....love sangria.

Drywhiteplease · 22/05/2014 17:15

Have a good night Marsha, often the unexpected nights out are the best.

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 17:27

Dry you are the queen of the great social life! Are they mostly long standing friends or newys?

LollipopViolet · 22/05/2014 17:28

Right, I'm back - have had a few really low days with my MH, so not been about much on this thread.

Got a mock job interview tomorrow, need to decide what I'm wearing. Have narrowed it down to 2 shirts: a pale pink, or a Cadbury purple one, with some black trousers and nice boots.

Drywhiteplease · 22/05/2014 18:23

Long standing friends. A group of 8 of us met at NCT coffee mornings 15 yrs ago predictably I joined NCT to get a social life as a SAHM in a new area, not to find out about birth options or pain relief Grin an amazing group of women and we've become best friends ever since. Go away to a health farm once a year. Have seen each other through ups and downs, love them all so much...bloody softie.....my girl friends are very important to me. Smile getting emotional before they even arrive, may need a glass of something to get over it Grin

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 18:52

Me too. I treasure them more as I get older. Sounds lovely Dry.

I just had to duck home and change (dark spot issue) and I blinking set off the crying again. Argh poor babysitter, hope he's stopped.

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 18:53

Lolli sorry to hear you've been feeling low, good luck with the interview.

MarshaBrady · 22/05/2014 19:04

Dry I just texted someone I hadn't seen for ages from NCT and I do miss (they moved) so we can meet next time they are in London, and the others I hung out with then too. good one Smile

OneLittleLady · 22/05/2014 19:06

I joined NCT mornings locally and I kid you not, not one single person would speak to me. I stuck it out for six weeks and gave up as no one would even acknowledge my presence in the group. I have to admit to having very few friends but a lot of that's because I struggle to meet people with similar interests locally. I'm hoping that will change when uni starts.

I'm sorry you've been feeling low lollipop I hope you are feeling a little better now. I think the pale pink blouse sounds nice.

LinusDKD · 22/05/2014 19:07

Good luck with the interview lolli! I hope you start feeling better soon. MNV is a good escape option on dark days.

marsha have fun! Very Envy about your impromptu evening out.

dry how fabulous! I wish I had a big group of girlfriends like that but moving countries a lot does complicate things.

Sangria? Boak! Since the Big Sangria Incident of 1993 I haven't touched the stuff. I recommend you only drink the wine and don't gobble up the fruit that has been soaking in the alcohol for weeks a couple of years
