Dry Grin

I'm only on my first, I shall catch up.

LuckySaint · 05/07/2014 08:56

Hope you have a fabulous mu [fizz] for everyone!

MarshaBrady · 05/07/2014 09:00

I can't believe I have to do this two hour assembly this morning. I would much prefer to be getting ready for the mu and lounging around town. Ach

How did we switch from hardly any parental attendance to full on must turn up to everything in one generation? My parents turned up to one thing a year if that Confused

QueenCadbury · 05/07/2014 09:02

I'm on my way. Wearing jeans and flats too. It's so nice not to have to think about childcare for the whole day. I left lots of instructions though as I've been working really hard with positive words and feedback for ds whose behaviour has been v naughty lately and it's working really well. Hope dh doesn't undo it all!

turq thank you fir your nice words about my style.

shopafrolic · 05/07/2014 09:50

One latte down. Lots of Tom Ford related gossip. I'm getting there.

QueenC I take it as given now that DH will plug DS into the TV for most if the day and feed him biscuits even though I ask him not to. But I figure for one day of freedom it's worth it :)

Morning :) am up and dressed. shop and novice sorry to hear you're suffering, we'll take your minds off it. It's quite bright here, though noticeably cooler than the past few days. I'm still going bare legs though - you might want to bring sunglasses Grin - and yup flats, I have a tiny bag and hate having to carry heels around. Wuss.

dry we can be style twins... I am wearing pencil skirt and 3/4 sleeves today too!

MarshaBrady · 05/07/2014 10:14

Ah not too bad. Even ds is very happy to see his friends on a Saturday and very excited. It's in an impressive place. Nice to see really.

shopafrolic · 05/07/2014 10:18

annielewis · 05/07/2014 10:31

Turquoise chameleon/sheep sounds like a style I could actually achieve and it sounds fab! Grin

shop epic bedwetting here too - just what I wanted, more laundry... grrrr

amber I'm off to a bbq too, agree it is bullshit weather after being so lovely all week. Will have to drink prosecco to compensate and its scuppered what I was thinking of wearing

Have a lovely MU everyone else (thats going) How often do you have them (fingers are crossed that its not only once a year!!!)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/07/2014 11:20

Just got on the train, looking forward to meeting the lovely shop with lovely new hair, and then everyone else at 1 :)

justasecond · 05/07/2014 11:25

Just a quick post to say I hope you all have a fab MU. V jealous but hope I can make the next one Smile

Sleepwhenidie · 05/07/2014 11:35

I put fake tan on and wore pj's to bed last night, DH was Hmm..Grin so I am wearing the damn dress! Sun is just about breaking through now anyway, and it helps that the venue is only 10 mins away from home (thanks Shop even though you didn't design it that way Grin).

Funny convo with DH at bedtime, I mentioned Linus was flying in and he was (even with his general coolness about MN)...'she's flying here to have lunch with a bunch of women she doesn't know Confused' - to which I replied 'but she does, they chat every day on the thread' DH 'yes but she doesn't know them' me Hmm - 'whatever' he would never understand Smile

LinusDKD · 05/07/2014 12:10

Lol sleep your DH is like my DH, mine just didn't say it but I could tell he was thinking it.

Mine just said to be safe and careful. Maybe mention to your DH I also came to shop and he'll understand a bit better.

having a sneaky glass of champagne on my own before leaving for the MU venue.

MarshaBrady · 05/07/2014 12:23

Done! Was quite sweet. Getting ready now!

Might do cardinal sin of Stella M skinnies plus Marant jacket.

Annie and Justa and everyone who can't make this one, yes come to the next one! Should be sooner than a year I hope.

libertychick · 05/07/2014 12:28

Good for you Linus. My DH has said he is quite jealous of me having this group and said this morning that you flying in to join us proves how great it is :).

On my way...wearing acne skirt so will form a little gang with dry and Blair.

MarshaBrady · 05/07/2014 12:32

Liberty or anyone do you have bare legs?

libertychick · 05/07/2014 12:37

Yes I am bare legs (with some badly applied looking sally Hanson airbrush legs stuff on them)

libertychick · 05/07/2014 12:38

Actually my grooming in general is a bit slap dash today but fuck it you'll all be too drunk to care!

BrandyAlexander · 05/07/2014 12:40

On my way! I might only be 30 mins late today!

Goodness dh can be dim at times! Why would he think it's okay to go to your friends house for lunch when they have had a baby a few months ago (whom we haven't met) with nothing for the baby??!!! Why??!! So I had to do a mad rush to town this morning to get new baby presents, something for the older child and flowers for the parents.Hmm Then halfway there he calls me from the car phone and says what's the baby called? Now he's just called me from their house to say "where are the presents? "In the front seat of the car you dufus! Hmm and breathe...!

Sleepwhenidie · 05/07/2014 12:40

bare legs here too!

MarshaBrady · 05/07/2014 12:42

BrandyAlexander · 05/07/2014 12:46
