Thank you Shop I'm already building my wardrobe for Florida!

santamarianovella · 18/07/2014 16:11

OMG sleep ,I had no idea who sam or Aaron were, ,but then I googled, he is the kid from the kick ass movies! ShockShe could easily be his mother!

Speaking of 50 shades,am I the only one who is Hmm by the fact that Anna, was never intimately with a man before,but the first time she gives him a BJ, she does it so expertly? bjs are not easy master, specially the first time but I did find the rest really hilarious,and can't believe its written by a grown woman,and not a bunch of teenagers,

shop fingers crossed, dog will continue to improve,

I have no idea what to wear tonight for dinner, its too hot!

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 17:32

Santa there are many things that bothered me about that book mostly that DH was asleep when I felt randy Grin but, apart from "oh my", there was a bit when Christian took off his jacket, they did something and then he took it off again ....was he wearing 2? Still bothers me 2 years later Hmm

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 17:32

A wafty dress Santa?

LinusDKD · 18/07/2014 17:50

Am I the only one who hasn't read those books? I always thought they were written for people in their sixties who needed to spice up their lovelives and therefore a bit cringeworthy but maybe I'm wrong.

I think my hormones must be all over the place (have my periods) because in my dreams the last two nights I have had sex with Bill Clinton and Vin Diesel though not at the same time

Vin especially was Strong and Silent...

TMI? Grin

LinusDKD · 18/07/2014 17:53

Which reminds me, when I worked in Canary Wharf there was a Vin Diesel lookalike who was a waiter at Wagamamas and a group of us used to go there to lunch and to ogle him

Until, one day, he actually waited on us and spoke in the weirdest and highest voice possible. The bubble burst, such a dissapointment.

Drywhiteplease · 18/07/2014 17:54

Grin linus ....but Bill Clinton ?Hmm

LinusDKD · 18/07/2014 17:58

I know dry! I'm usually not into older men but lucklily no cigar was involved.

Reminds me of the dreams I used to have when pregnant with DS. Now they were something else.

MarshaBrady · 18/07/2014 18:09

Ha Linus!

I haven't read the books either.

santamarianovella · 18/07/2014 18:22

According to the many many ,women he slept with, bill is dynamite in the sack linus, Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/07/2014 18:48

Haha, Friday night on MNV, love it!

It's disgustingly hot. Santa I had the same dilemma, just going out with DP for a quick dinner and to see planet of the apes, I am wearing t-shirt mini dress.

shop your latest doggy pic is gorgeous. Hope she keeps improving, it's supposed to be cooler from tomorrow I think, poor thing.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/07/2014 18:49

Oh and how could I forget to mention, I had a dream about Daniel Craig the other night Grin

QueenCardigan · 18/07/2014 19:11

Weird taste linus Grin. Now, Daniel Craig, I wouldn't kick out if bed Wink

50 shades was all a bit meh really. I quite enjoyed its easy reading value and the vague storyline but tbh I got bored of the sex and skipped it. I have absolutely no inclination to see the film.

It's like a Mediterranean evening here. And I'm finishing off decorating dd's room Hmm. Friends coming for the weekend and expecting rain Sad

LinusDKD · 18/07/2014 19:25

Really santa? He was a bit selfish as far as I can remember. Grin

Now Vin..... He was anything but selfish Wink

Mmm, Daniel Craig. Only if he's in character as James Bond in Casino Royale...

Poor DH wanted to know if I ever dream of him that way. I might have told a white lie Blush

It has been 35 degrees here today and it's still 32 degrees, I'm melting.

shopafrolic · 18/07/2014 21:46

Dry ROFL about DH
All the inner goddess shit started to do my head in but for some reason I read all three books. I kept thinking it might get better........
It's a miracle. For the first time in three and a half years I have read a whole book in just two days. Granted, a small book, and not too heavy on plot, but still - I'm chuffed to bits.
We had new Kettler sunloungers delivered. Lying there today, bikini on, book in hand, I almost felt as though I was on holiday early. Too hot now though, I hate sleeping in this heat.
ShopDog ate all her dinner tonight again so fingers crossed we're over the worst. DH that's started talking positively about holiday again so fingers crossed.

Am LOL at Linus and sex dreams, also at the waiter with the pitchy voice Grin.

So glad dogalog seems to be on the mend shop.

I have to try and sleep now, both DS's arrived in my bed last night due to the heat and storm so I'm shattered. Been grabbing last minute 60% off bargains at Anna, will post links. Santa my DSD said exactly that last night about STW being his mum...I was a little Hmm, wonder what you'd say if genders were reversed....didn't say it out loud however Wink

BrandyAlexander · 19/07/2014 11:02

Morning all! Funny weather isn't it?! I am wearing a warehouse summer tea dress - cream background with green, brown and brown funky leaf print. I love it as it's very casual and one of my favourite ever dresses and was about £15.Smile I have accessorised it with wempe aquamarine and diamond cocktail ring, and Elizabeth Cole green Swarovski crystal bangle. Oh and my Next watch - still works after it's washing machine trauma!!

Sleepwhenidie · 19/07/2014 11:18

Morning everyone, isn't it muggy - yuk...

I have a wedding party this afternoon/evening, am going to wear the dress I wore for my own wedding party this dvf with gold JCrew heels. I look different in it, due to boobs and a non see through slip under the lace Smile.

Am going to link my Anna bargains separately, keep losing posts when I go off to get links. Hmm

OneLittleLady · 19/07/2014 11:29

Morning all. It's yuk weather today. We're getting the hell out of the area as there's going to be a EDL protest starting in about an hour. I'm disgusted that it's going ahead if I'm honest. There's apparently a counter protest happening as well so the area is swarming with police. I really hope it doesn't turn nasty, there's a lot of immigrants live here (which is what the EDL are protesting about I assume) and it's already tense in the area Sad

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2014 14:46

Help choosing please!

New orange, slightly brighter, baby blue, raspberry red or box?

MNV Vogue - vol 42
Stokey · 19/07/2014 14:55

Sounds awful One . Stewart Lee did a great sketch on immigration which all the EDL people should be forced to watch.

Gorgeous dress Sleep , still melting here, the rain hasn't really cooled things down.

So we had our colours done yesterday. DM and I were both winters, quite a relief to retain black, but she was a jewel and I am sultry.

We both have some things the right colour in our wardrobes but may need to branch out into fuschia, scary!

Fedupnagging · 19/07/2014 14:55

Ooo, how exciting, live shopping Grin. Love the raspberry but is that a colour you would use? I think you are really hankering after another orange bag.

Stokey · 19/07/2014 14:57

Marsha I love the red. Orange would be a close second for me and the baby blue a third but I'm not a big pastel person.

Sleepwhenidie · 19/07/2014 14:58

I love the raspberry Marsha but trust your gut, you love orange, doesn't matter if you have it again (I have the same irresistible attraction to grey bags)!

MarshaBrady · 19/07/2014 15:00

Baby blue is out.

Very close between raspberry red and orange.

In my heart of hearts it's orange I love but I have a must be different enough for people to notice rule Wink so not sure whether to break it! Grin
