Thanks Santa.

Blair, missed your post. The bag is a beautiful colour. I would contact Me & Em. They held this top for me which was sold out online and in store so it is on the way now.

shopafrolic · 27/06/2014 13:37

Oh Linus poor little man. Hope he starts to improve soon. Don't start swigging Calpol yourself - Dry has already proved it doesn't help!

Decameron · 27/06/2014 13:37

I alternate with calpol and nurofen when they have fevers, Linus, if you can get both there.

santamarianovella · 27/06/2014 13:41

Not even the the shorter ones now you are being mean Grin

shopafrolic · 27/06/2014 13:45

Definitely prefer the longer ones! In fact, if I win the lottery I shall buy myself a pair and where them when we finally meet. Grin and you can smack me in the face

santamarianovella · 27/06/2014 13:45

decam I do that too,its effective,I think its available in Europe,
Poor ds linus,

santamarianovella · 27/06/2014 13:47

Then I will go and find an even more outrageous boots,and tilt my head up and look you in the eye and say : how do you like me now?

LinusDKD · 27/06/2014 13:48

I do alternate between ibuprofen and paracetamol and when they kick in DS is fine and plays and eats normally but once they start wearing off he starts flagging.

No Calpol for me shop eyes the rest of that bottle of Rosé

Just to give you an alternative santa, DMhas these boots in, I think, dark brown.

Maybe a bit too classical for you, but I just thought you'd like to know. Wink

shopafrolic · 27/06/2014 13:48

cute bag

shopafrolic · 27/06/2014 13:49

Oh Santa come to a MU soon - please

MarshaBrady · 27/06/2014 14:03

Grin Santa

You have filled my top bar with amazing boots from luisaviaroma, including yours, they are looking rather divine.

Blair great bag

Shop great shoes

SoyYo great links

Some one said I said great a lot the other day. Who knew!

Ohh these are gorgeous linus and more expensive than shop's but I think I will need to stand on a footstool in order to look shop in the eye, Grin

shop, I wish,! We have to move by late July ,as we are renting our house and tenants move first of August,I will be away on mu weekend ,as some changes have happened and we are relocating to another country,
So we are searching for new accommodation,I can't believe I'm doing this for the second time!
marsha I've been tormented with these ads for the last couple of days, I should block them

Drywhiteplease · 27/06/2014 16:28

Ooooh a fashionista fight on MNV

SoyYo · 27/06/2014 16:54

So ladies...just finished my TC's had been looking for a work appropriate new handbag for ages and again TY Blair first time I see handbags I actually like at a reasonable price.Thanks

I love all of the Pippa ones in the sale (some more than others) and Blairs orange one is sooo cute but for work I thought this one might be good?

I was thinking if I could fit my laptop (I measured and it just fits) it could save me the hassle of carrying a separate laptop bag when I am travelling..but maybe that is asking too much of a fashion handbag???

I am off on my travels again on Monday, and then again in mid July (it's 50% of my work time) but not sure whether to go for the fun & not laptop appropiate or serious (work black and white) option. Decisions, decisions...

Secretsquirrel13 · 27/06/2014 17:07

Just had a quick catch up Linus I am a true MNV clone today as am wearing- tile print Leigh's, j crew white linen t and navy Primark hav-alikes!! Hope your ds improves soon.
Blair lovely bag, has made me take a second look at them.
I've done a jaeger sale order this week 2 dresses, a pale blue stripe Breton and a silk shirt- will link later when not on my phone.
Sleep I've just read some of that thread-ignore ignore ignore.
I've also seen the hipanema bracelets and am not too impressed they just remind me too much of the loom bands my dc are so obsessed with.

SoyYo · 27/06/2014 17:32

I agree with Secret on that awful thread Sleep, you were very level headed not to rise to the unkind comments.
Personally, I try and stay away from those type of "bare my soul" discussions, I only did it once asking for opinions on a relatively minor personal dilemma and honestly some people were sooo mean I decided never again. I'm lucky to have real friends I can discuss my issues F2F with.

You live and learn...and well done again for being brave!
Back to fashion and style now!

SoyYo · 27/06/2014 17:38

On fashion...about to return some Boden purchases. Mainly picked up shirts for DH and swimming trunks for DS (keeping as they like) and got tempted by the famous bistro crop trousers
Well let me tell you they looked awful, clown trousers!
But they had so many good reviews I thought I would give them a go.
Don't!

Deverethemuzzler · 27/06/2014 18:00

I bought a pair of v.cheapy shoes today but they are so pretty.

I got them from Choice, an outlet store. Tenner.

They are leopard print with red piping at the peep toe and a red heel and sole.

I am a sucker for a nice detail.
The heel is a great height too. I am fed up of there only being flats or pole dancer shoes in the shops.

They are no hideous, I promise.

shopafrolic · 27/06/2014 18:26

It was a bit more like a jokey bickering match really Dry sorry to waste your popcorn But I did buy a lottery ticket Grin
Santa friends?
I LOVE those boots, but I would have to walk on cotton wool everywhere I went. I feel gutted that you may leave the country before we ever get the chance to meet.......
How's your DS doing this evening Linus ?

shopafrolic · 27/06/2014 18:29

Devere shoes sound good - I love my leopard print flats......
SoyYo other than swimwear, everything else I've ever ordered from Boden goes back every time. You think I'd learn. I must not be the right shape for Boden.
Secret outfit sounds lovely
Did anyone get anything from the J Crew sale? Not sure what they're up to but my camo sweatshirt is reduced to £40 online, but £25 in-store. Naughty J Crew. V naughty.

Decameron · 27/06/2014 18:34

They sound great Devere, I am a big leopard print fan.

Drywhiteplease · 27/06/2014 18:43

I agree Shop , Santa you will stay on here though won't you? Smile

LinusDKD · 27/06/2014 19:16

Evening!

Snap secret! I bet you looked fabulous today! Wink

I like that black and white bag SoyYo, looks stylish and practical.

devere I am a recent convert to leopard print but I love my leopard flats. We might need to see a picture of your shoes, they sound lovely.

shop DS is ok as long as he has medication but once that's worn off the fever returns. He was very happy to see DH though and so was DD.

J Crew sale? What J Crew sale???

I do think I'll restrain myself from now on and save all my pennies for when I'm in London next week. Can't believe that this time next week I'll be in my old town!

I should really stop watching Twentysomething beauty blogger vlogging about their life in London. I always get homesick when I watch them, especially when they film in my old hunting grounds.

libertychick · 27/06/2014 20:51

Yes Boden order arrived today and all going back apart from some PJ bottoms which are lovely - I need to stop shopping there too.

Stupidly tired, DD was up at 5.30am this morning (in fairness she rarely does this) and I had been working until 1am. And I have hayfever...

Drywhiteplease · 27/06/2014 21:01

NOVICE "Inside Asprey" Thurs ITV 9pm, set the sky box....can't wait!
