Congrats to One and Blair [fizz] Flowers

Dry, didn't Bridget's mum wear lilac?

Ds2 went to school today for an hour
There was lots of tears... Can I have a vodka on a school night?

Fedupnagging · 03/07/2014 19:50

Grin at Marsha

Am loving shoe gate - will shop keep one or both pairs? Which pair will she return......

Dec, love that white top from Hallhuber and your empty purse is nice too.

Love, love your boots Amber.

Hi Luckysaint. MNV is very friendly tonight Wink

Drywhiteplease · 03/07/2014 19:58

Yes she did Lucky

MarshaBrady · 03/07/2014 20:02

Shop which do you love more?

Even if you get to keep both, is there a winner?

Eeek! I have my boarding pass, my passport, my oyster card, I am nearly packed. All I need to do now is shower and wash my hair as it's going to be a very early start tomorrow.

Sooooo nervous!

shop last summer I bought my Colts (pistols but higher heel) and my Choo bikers at the same time. Well I actually tried them on on the same day but bought them on two consecutive days and DM and DH paid for the Choos but those are technicalities. Grin

Drywhiteplease · 03/07/2014 20:16

linus please don't be nervous. Really looking forward to meeting you. Have a good trip.

OneLittleLady · 03/07/2014 20:20

linus don't be nervous, everyone is lovely. I am a general bundle of anxiety over everything. I managed London by myself (I'd never been to london alone before) and got to the MU and everything was fine Smile

LinusDKD · 03/07/2014 20:43

I know one and dry, but what if I'm a dissapointment! And I have to admit I do like the safety of my anonymous MNV persona.

Oh btw, my suitcase is half filled with jeans and trousers that are too big for me now. shop has first dibs on the Jimmies in a 28 but the rest is up for grabs. you will have to take them all because I am planning on filling my suitcase with London stuff

libertychick · 03/07/2014 20:46

Ohhh snogs from Luckysaint and Dry - my lucky night Wink

Linus I am really looking forward to meeting you too and I am so chuffed that you are coming all this way to meet everyone, it's so exciting.

Ok shop. I didn't focus properly on bedtime stories at all this evening as I have been thinking about your boot dilemma. Smile I don't think you should keep two pairs of black boots as you'll always favour one over the other. Why not order the chestnut pistols and see how they are and if you do decide to keep two pairs then if you have brown and black that will be much more useful.

BrandyAlexander · 03/07/2014 20:55

shop my vote is for the Choos because I really want oneGrin I agree with Lib though. Oh this is sooo rich coming from me but don't get 2 things the same!

Linus don't be nervous! The really really weird thing is that everyone is in rl exactly like they are on here so weirdly afterwards whenever you read posts you "see" them. Or is that just me?Grin also for days after you think of them as their real name. Am totally paranoid about outing anyone!

I understand the nerves though I was bloody crapping myself at the first mu. I had so much fun I ended up missing a party I was meant to be going to that night!

Fedupnagging · 03/07/2014 21:01

Santa and Liberty are being very very sensible. Maybe one black and one brown is a better idea Shop.

Linus, I'm a newbie too so you're not alone! Are you going to see the Matisse exhibition tomorrow? Am trying to work out when I'll have time to do that and also the BP - usually see that most years.

Are you coming to the MU One?

shopafrolic · 03/07/2014 21:06

Linus don't be nervous. MNV has been the best thing that has happened to me in the last few years? The women I've met on here are just fabulous and have helped me through so much. I count them among my closest friends.
To all who are coming to their first MU, if you want to meet a little earlier I am happy to break you in gently! PM me if you want an early coffee........

LinusDKD · 03/07/2014 21:06

I'll try and go on Saturday morning before the MU fedup. I really should do something cultural whilst I'm in London and it'll take me back to my old neighbourhood.

Right, bedtime for me. Night night.

(Whenever I have wifi I'll try and keep up with the thread in the next few days)

Topazandpearl · 03/07/2014 21:09

I agree with everyone who says keep the boots you love more shop, and use the rest for something else.
I know how you feel Linus as it is my first mu too. I am looking forward to meeting everyone but will be nervous too.
I will have an early start as I have a long journey and I have allowed time for shopping, and what with the weather, I will probably wear jeans rather than be glam.

Topazandpearl · 03/07/2014 21:09

Oh and great news One Thanks

shopafrolic · 03/07/2014 21:21

Is shopping not culture? :)

shopafrolic · 03/07/2014 21:27

Right, here's what I do know. I don't want chestnut Pistols. I have Hudsons and Spirals in tan. I also see Pistols as being a bit edgy, a bit grungy, and tan doesn't feel like that. So if I keep the Pistols they'll be black. Which is an arse as they are never discounted.
Pistols - I can see with a black polo neck, skinnies, my Chloe peacoat or my M&S check coat. Tees and skinnies etc etc
Bikers - slouchy knit (my Vince sweater) and skinnies.
I just said to Marsha on text, Pistols are Saturday with the girls, Choo bikers are Sunday pub lunch by a roaring fire. Aaaaarrrgggghhhhh.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 03/07/2014 21:29

Hey all. shop I agree with liberty, brown pistols and black bikers is the way forward (after all, bikers have to be black, and you're an autumn aren't you?)

Sleep well Linus, I think it's amazing you're coming all this way to meet us - we'd better live up to your expectations! Wink

Stokey am sure you've already gone but have an amazing time.

Thanks LuckySaint and hello :)

Thanks for the offer of an early meet shop I may take you up on that. I will sleep/think on it and reply to yours and liberty's pms tomorrow. Getting v excited! Weather is still looking dodgy up til 2pm though.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 03/07/2014 21:31

X post... well you're right, they do fill different gaps in your wardrobe despite being the same colour. You wouldn't have to buy ankle boots again for many years Grin

shopafrolic · 03/07/2014 21:34

Anyone watching the Asprey programme?

shopafrolic · 03/07/2014 21:36

Blair I'm getting my hair done at 10am so will probably be free from 12.15ish. More than happy to do a pre MU MU. Have done it before...... No problem.

BrandyAlexander · 03/07/2014 21:41

Me! Me!

shopafrolic · 03/07/2014 21:41

£70k for an Asprey handbag! Shock

Drywhiteplease · 03/07/2014 21:43

Nooooooooo ! Totally forgot Shop.... I'll have to catch up
