I am INSIDE the rugby hq.... Bloody hell pheromones and muscles galore. glad I changed into slinky maxi, breathing in snuck a sneaky swipe of lip gloss before entering Grin... Hehe!!!!!

MarshaBrady · 17/07/2014 18:44

Haha good one Dry have fun Grin

Thanks Santa will go to Mount St, teal sounds lovely and the box bags are so nice too. I should be able to find something! Grin

Stokey that's a fab clutch.

Liberty very a bit late but good luck! I'm sure it was fab.

Thanks re creepy man. It started off kind of non-threatening, but then I was so vague he got more insistent. Eurgh hate that. I just wanted to disengage so I didn't get the photo or number plate.

LinusDKD · 17/07/2014 19:21

Evening!

What a creep marsha! How in the world any man thinks that's an acceptable way to treat a woman I will never understand.

On a more frivolous note, a teal Trio sounds great. I saw a rasberry python one in Selfridges when I was in London for the MU.

It was a scorcher here today so I wore an old Sportmax dress that I adore but is getting a bit big for me now. I might find a seamstress to see if it can be taken in a bit.

Oh and my cheapo Asos heels arrived and I really like them. They are half a size too big but they don't do half sizes. But at that price it's nice to be able to wear a type of shoe that I would normally not wear and certainly not pay a lot of money for.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 17/07/2014 19:23

Blimey Dry you're always getting to ogle hot men! Wink

liberty I hope the big meeting went well and you got the parcel too.

OneLittleLady · 17/07/2014 19:31

Poor you Marsha he sounds like a creep. Glad your safe though

libertychick · 17/07/2014 20:37

Meeting went well - or at least everyone there said so! Was one of those where I had to talk a lot and answer a lot of questions so was hard to really take it in - having a debrief tomorrow morning.

Blair I wasn't able to pick up the parcel - definitely tomorrow though.

has been a long day...rugby hq sounds good dry

shopafrolic · 17/07/2014 22:06

Waves to all. Had a blissful afternoon on the sun lounger and read half a book in one sitting which I haven't done since DS was born. Blissful and made me long for holiday.
Drinks tonight with lovely new neighbours. Love champagne on a school night! I wore James Perse dress and Sam Edelman sandals.
Marsha yuk to creep guy. Hope you're ok.

Marsha car park man is horrible, pushy.....but you are rather gorgeous so I don't blame him, could have been more subtle though never trust a Merc driver

OneLittleLady · 17/07/2014 22:18

So whilst out this afternoon before I went on a course, a totally random, strange woman walked right up to me, touched my hair and said 'I like it, i just know you'll look good in black' I dislike being touched at the best of times so it was a little disconcerting. Nothing like marsha's creepy encounter though

Was also at the doctors today, won't go into detail as it would be gross and way TMI but I am now on more medication Sad My tally is up to 15 different medicines long term Sad

Sleepwhenidie · 18/07/2014 00:44

Santa we've never met in RL, is it weird that I feel like it will be odd not having you just down the road [ confused] Sad?

One, I'm feeling Sad for you about DH being away, yet excited for the chance to really experience the peace and pleasure that more time to yourself can bring, safe in the knowledge DP is still yours - it's a situation not many of us get to try out so make the most if it! It's not a life sentence, think of it as an experiment and a period in your life that, good, bad or indifferent, will change again before you know it Smile.

Marsha at that man - vile.

Lib you sound like you are actually loving work atm Smile

Blair your ring is so beautiful. Enjoy all the bubbles and celebrations, so lovely!

Dry ...step away from the far too young rugby players Grin

DH is away cycling. DM and DSF here to babysit on Saturday - I took them for dinner tonight and Sam TW and Aaron TJ on next table, he really is beautiful but I still can't get my head around the age difference...think he must truly be an old soul in a young (and gorgeous Envy) body! Dry don't go getting ideas! What I am most jealous about of course is STW directing Jamie Dornan in sex scenes for 50 shades Envy Envy Envy !

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 07:55

I'm a about worries about 50 Shades, the movie. Path ink the book success was due to the fact you could read it secretly on your kindle (mind you I saw loads of books being read in public too), just not sure how the sexy will translate on the big screen without looking seedy. A challenge.

Good luck Londoners today, it's going to be HOT!

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 08:00

Blimey...did anyone understand that?Grin
Pencil skirt, silver sling backs, t shirt combo today.
Have a Good Friday all

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2014 08:02

Love that combo Dry.

Big thunder storms this morning, fab how quickly it has cleared up. Love a bit of heat.

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 08:32

Morning all - what an incredible storm! Never heard thunder like that here - lasted for ages. Everything feels fresh today. I am running out of clothes - need to do the ironing but can't bring myself to in this heat!
Dry you should read The Lemon Grove.

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2014 08:37

Shop how's shopdog and holiday plans?

OneLittleLady · 18/07/2014 10:21

Sleep I suppose that's a good way of looking at it.

Very muggy here though lots of clouds. Already hotter than it was yesterday. Think I'll be staying indoors today, at least there's a fan!
Grey acid wash skinnies and a mens oversized breakfast club tee that I chopped up to suit today

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 12:26

Shopdog ate all her breakfast today and looks healthier but her breathing is still erratic and shallow so not sure. We're keeping a close eye on her in this heat.
I did my ironing this morning - now melting! I don't do stylish well when it's this hot. Will pick up DS from nursery (last ever day) and then the bikini is going on!
The 27 Jimmies fit well so will definitely keep.

OP posts:
Sleepwhenidie · 18/07/2014 12:50

Did you try out the tan shop?

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 13:58

Shop have ordered The Lemon Grove for my hols. Am reading Before We Met at the mo....ok! will pop in the post to you if it's good.
Glad the Jimmies are a success...bet they're cropped on you. I'm going to try mine on turned up in a min.
Glad Shopdog is feeling a bit better.

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 14:25

Not yet Sleep - I'm scaring the neighbours with my white flabby tummy Grin

Anyone in need of a new swimsuit? Linus kindly gave a me a lovely blue J Crew one at the meet up - I have finally tried it on and it is big on me so happy to send it on to whoever would like to try next. It says 12 on the label (Not sure if it means US12) but I would say it is more like a 14. It is also quite long in the body....... let me know......it's never been worn.

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 14:26

Dry cancel the order if you can? I should be able to post you my copy by tomorrow...... MNV book club!

OP posts:
OneLittleLady · 18/07/2014 14:40

shop the swimsuit might be ok for me if it's more a 14. Would be happy to pass on if it's not right for me. My old swimsuit doesn't fit as it's too tight on the bust

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 15:10

OK One can you PM me your address again? :)

OP posts:
Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 15:14

Great Shop I've cancelled order.....I'm all for sharing books, although I mostly read on the iPad .

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 15:16

Cool - will post it to you on Monday Dry
