I did Novice Pm'd you back.
WIT has done swimwear today and has the orange Boden one piece - wonder if she lurks
Date night for us tomorrow - not sure what to do.... dinner, cinema, am tempted to see if I can get tickets for a London show but not sure where to look last minute. Any recommendations?

linus I wear tjis SPF cream on top of moisturiser. It's oil free so I don't find it greasy.

Love the tod's. Orange not my colour but would like another tan pair to replace trashed ones.

anni ah, 30 day shred, think my sis does it. Might have a go.

White Gap elasticated skirt arrived but has to go back, it's way too voluminous which is a shame as I was hoping to wear it tonight. back to the drawing board I go.

Anni I've heard a lot about the 30 day Shred, sounds quite tough, didn't realise it was Gillan McKeith

linus love the Tods.

Am out tonight for dinner, smart casual,l and out tomorrow night at a party, smart(er) and keep changing my mind about what to wear. May give my new heels a whirl.

Don't watch BB but loved Emma Wilis' s white jump suit sorry for DM link. I really like her style.

Don't phone it in Anni

Linus I love those, thanks! and would like to buy, only thing is wondering if I should wait for the sales.

Hello all. Sooo glad it's Friday!

I wear SPF 50 on face (v pale and freckly) and have tried a few. I didn't like the texture of Clinique City Block, and the La Roche Posay Anthelios one is too thick and would just rub off in little balls. The best one I've tried is Ultrasun - expensive but it isn't too greasy or thick or white.

at Shred - I did it for a bit before Christmas clearly I need an incentive for proper exercise

betty I watched BB and I love her style too.

amber love your blog post today. 'Tis so true that we beat ourselves up about looking perfect for 1 week a year.

It's little cadburys 3rd birthday today. I'm not sure where those years have gone and I'm slightly that my baby is growing up. Lovely sunny day for the party though so at least I can get them all outside. Poor ds is climbing the walls as still not well enough for school but too well to be at home.

Novice I missed the dress, pls can you link?

Queen - my ds1 will be 9 in August, DH said yesterday 'I can't believe he's 9 already, he only just got here and he's half way to leaving home - I had to stick my fingers in my hears and hum loudly.

well, I just got back from a walk. I had my bare, naturally mega pale legs out and you know what? no one looked or stared, no one made fun of them so all those years I spent fretting and covering up were wasted years. I'll never tan but pale is beautiful too!

is this the one you use blair?

I don't really want to add another layer on top of my moisturiser so I am really looking for an all-in-one product.

Never tries the Cityblock as they don't sell the highest spf here.

DD will be 2 in 5 months time ! She's growing up so fast!

Oh I agree one but you have nice pale skin. It's lovely and creamy and even

I have pale skin combined with a lot of brown spots and uneven skintone so I tend not to get them out if I can help it.

But now that I've lost weight I do want to wear shorts again so I am trying to make them look less pale and I have to say I am very impressed with This Works.

marsha lots of sizes seem to have sold out on NaP so I'm not sure it's worth the gamble. Maybe google them and see if any other websites do them.

I have put some cobalt and fuschia Tod's on my Sales list...

Omg! I am at working at home today (which allowed me to take a long lunch hour - 2 hours having lunch with ds and then taking him to the park). Got home, and was on a conference call. A massive boquet of my favourite flowers have arrived. The message says "Hi hon, You are the best, Love dh". . I just called and thanked him. Thankfully he's on a call too so I can't ruin it by asking him what he's done wrong like last time

Hi Sleep, here is the Roland Mouret dress. It's lush

Happy birthday to mini Cadbury!

Just done toe nails in the middle colour.... Am I having a mid life crisis? actually really rate no7 nail varnishes, fab fat brush for easy application and with a good top coat last as long as any I've tried

Love it dry! I nearly bought a similar one from Bourjois but I had just bought the bright blue YSL one so I resisted.

Btw, DM saw me wear the YSL one on facetime and her comments were not flattering to say the least. I am not going to use the word she used but I was angry, appaled and amused at the same time.

A bit of fantasy shopping:
wow!
OMG
pretty! not my colour....my colour
I adore this style

No dry love that colour, sort of a denim blue, I bet it looks great!

Linus yes either that one or one without anti-ageing, I'm not sure but that Amazon one is the same price I pay for it in Waitrose.

novice that dress is to die for.

dry at links, I've pinned that blue Valentino before, my dream party dress.

If anyone is interested, those blue tile print Leigh jeans are back in stock in most sizes on the TS website.

I think Amazon will be the only place for me to buy Ultrasun and I am not even sure this vendor ships to where I live.

Otherwise a trip to Waitrose is on the cards when I'm in London.

Dry I just bought this blue nail polish and can't wait to put it in for the weekend! I really like blue nails and don't think they are too MLC.

I love this but unfortunately it's cream. 100% cotton as well. Sooo frustrating!

linus I have always thought of your DM as an incredibly chic Euro lady....incredibly chic Euro ladies would consider blue nails as rather vulgar I'd imagine. I blame my English half! we're a bit braver

dry even 'incredibly chic Euro lady' can talk like a fishwife when she chooses to.

Maybe I could even go as far as to say that her choice of words was vulgar...

Blimey linus I'm ... And all about blue nail varnish
