LinusDKD · 07/07/2014 20:31

Lol blair!

shop I've been meaning to ask you, did the swimsuit fit?

shopafrolic · 07/07/2014 20:47

Linus I haven't tried it yet Blush
Too hungover yesterday and catching up on things today. Hope to try it tomorrow but will pass it onwards if not. Thanks
I have the Chanel eyeliner in Cassis - it's lovely.

No rush shop!

I just ordered these

I know they are fabric and not leather and the print is a bit out there for me but a blogger (I think BuynowBloglater) said they were supercomfortable and at that price it is worth a try.

I am thinking about wearing them with an all black outfit in winter.

LinusDKD · 07/07/2014 20:53

I hope Cassis will bring out my green eyes shop

OneLittleLady · 07/07/2014 20:57

I really like those heels Linus I might give them a try myself but they might just be a little too high in the heel for me but I can try them

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 07/07/2014 21:07

I love BuynowBloglater. She is so down to earth and funny in a self deprecating way. The print on the shoes is fab!

BrandyAlexander · 07/07/2014 21:13

It's one of those evenings :( overtired child = bedtime meltdown. Dh was here for a change and so I ended up snapping at him that this is what it's like all the f-ing time and sometimes I wish I could just do what he does and stay at work. He gave me a very long look. He's now gone for a run. :(

When you're feeling sad, it's depressing being in a house which is in its 3rd month of being decorated. This is week 4 in the kitchen. The good news is that at least the kitchen will be done this week.

MotherOfFerals · 07/07/2014 21:13

Hi novice. Thanks for the welcome.
amber, I've got the boots in wish list but pissed off with myself that I didn't get them when I had the chance. That's why I was fluttering my eyelashes at you..! Yes, I'm a 39.

QueenCardigan · 07/07/2014 21:28

novice I'm pleased that I had a meeting at school so dh was left with dc bedtime. It really is hard when they play up.

My internet is being really slow tonight and I'm having problems opening links. Boo.

I must have missed maras bag too too busy looking at the ring

OneLittleLady · 07/07/2014 21:29

Poor you novice it is hard when the meltdowns happen.Thanks

Topazandpearl · 07/07/2014 21:34

Blair you are not the last to do a round-up; here's mine.

Blair, loved your skirt and gorgeous bag. Looking forward to seeing your engagement ring and yay for the MNV hen do!

Novice, as others have said, loved the bling. And you are so wise Wink.

Marsha, you looked amazing. Loved the shoes which were perfectly matched to your tee shirt and skirt. Sorry we didn't really get to talk.

Mara, as others have said, great hair, bling and bag. And loved the coincidence! Will respond to pm after.

Linus, so glad you were able to come. Loved your hair, bag, and of course, your watch Wink.

QueenC, again, sorry we didn't really talk but thank you for the welcome. Along with others, I admired your top and your friendly smile!

Fedup, have already mentioned your lovely hair, can't believe that was it straightened! I also loved your ring and matching nail polish. It was lovely to talk to you and share tales of older DCs.

Dry, lovely, lovely hair and I want your bag! Again, I would have liked to talk more.

Liberty, yet more lovely coincidences! Thank you for the hair advice and for helping me feel so welcome.

Shop, thank you so much for organising the mu and your consideration in the choice of venue. You have so much energy and tell a great story.

Sleep, you did indeed look amazing in your dress, and great hair too. You are a great advert for your work.

All of you, it didn't feel like we had only just met. It is lovely to read your posts and imagine you in outfits etc. I look forward to meeting you again.

To those who weren't there, I look forward to meeting you next time. Turq and others, please don't feel left out, the friendships are built through posting over time, then meeting is the icing on the cake.

shopafrolic · 07/07/2014 21:43

Hugs for Novice
Welcome MotherofFerals - stick around and tell us more

DH " they should see it out of the skirt"
Wincing from DS
Further lecherous comments from DH
DS " pack it in you two, you're like the parents on the In Betweeners" not sure I want to know Novice has your DH been talking to MrDry today Grin

QueenCardigan · 07/07/2014 21:56

Phew. I was having palpitations as I couldn't get on mumsnet Grin

Just been reading all worn out and now want this top.

BrandyAlexander · 07/07/2014 22:03

Thank youThanks feel better just for posting that. I have retired to my bed with Magic on the radio and a Diptique candle. My pjs won't set dh's heart racing that's for sure!

One, I can't believe your almost 3 inches shorter! I remember now you were on other side of the table!!! And I may have have had a drink when we hugged good bye so not noticed!

Lots of round ups have mentioned Topaz's watch and I am so annoyed as I sat next to her and missed it. Fedup was wearing a lovely silver necklace though!

shopafrolic · 07/07/2014 22:05

Polyester QueenC?

OP posts:
BrandyAlexander · 07/07/2014 22:05

Oooh totally loving Mr DryGrin

shopafrolic · 07/07/2014 22:08

LOL @ the Inbetweeners reference Grin

OP posts:
libertychick · 07/07/2014 22:10

Your poor DS Dry but yes your DH is a lucky man Wink

That is a very pretty top QueenC totally you.

I'll just echo what Topaz says about those who were not there - it is absolutely the case that we get to know each other on here, please don't feel left out, we'll all shut up about the MU soon Smile

And big excitement here - I've agreed the deal with Blair for her J Brands - yay!

Hope you are feeling a bit better now Novice, I was late home today and only just made it in time for a story, DH was not impressed.

libertychick · 07/07/2014 22:11

Oh and welcome MotherofFerals - can I call you MoF? Smile

MarshaBrady · 07/07/2014 22:13

lol Dry that is funny.

I need to do my round up. Am seriously considering getting up early to do it Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 07/07/2014 22:14

That top would look lovely on you QueenC.

novice it sounds hard, hopefully the kitchen being done will make a big difference, I can't imagine not being able to just use mine when I want. Tomorrow is another day.

Lol Dry!

Did a cheeky J crew order, dove grey Tippi and "natural" (white) pencil skirt, with the 20% off code.

MarshaBrady · 07/07/2014 22:14

Actually good point, might be a bit much for those not there! But really, everyone is so welcome.

MoF welcome!
