Continuing. From here some of us may have jetted off to far flung foreign parts, but we're still friendly, fabulous even in the heat wave and full of frivolous fashion talk. Come and join us Smile

Catching up in the thread after a Swedish wedding sans DC, great fun but quite poignant as the girl's first DH had died when her child was just a baby, some emotional moments which make you appreciate how lucky we all are.

One hope you're not feeling too empty
Shop Thanks for your pup

Good news on the watch Novice

Love the scarf you linked for me Liberty

I think I may need new trainers too - I just do the 30-day shred barefoot but maybe should be wearing some shoes for impact?

DH's birthday next week and have no idea what to get him. Maybe some clothes although that is rather dull. Last couple of times I have got him "experience" presents, tickets to Eddie Izzard and to a test match.

Oh no Shop. Hope she is ok.

Working at home today - wearing Gap shorts with a neon pink M&S T. Today I am going to get a LOT done ...

OneLittleLady · 04/08/2014 10:00

novice my pms still dont seem to be working but I think shop still has my address if she wouldn't mind passing it on to you

libertychick · 04/08/2014 10:03

One I have your address - have just pm'd it to novice. Smile

shopafrolic · 04/08/2014 10:39

Thanks all - the vet says to wait another 24 hours but if no improvement she'll go to sleep tomorrow :(
She's only 3.5 ish TheOldHag - maybe 4....

OneLittleLady · 04/08/2014 10:40

oh no shop Sad

Topazandpearl · 04/08/2014 10:48

Thanks Shop I hope she picks up. I'm sure that you are glad that you are back home rather than getting the phone all whilst still away. Fingers crossed for better news tomorrow.

QueenCardigan · 04/08/2014 10:50

Oh no shop. Lots of hugs and hand holding for you. Do they know what's wrong?

one glad you're getting some shoes to cheer you up. Can't believe you and novice both have size 3 feet. My dd (8) is a 3!

This weather has to last all of august as we don't go away until 21st. And I've just ordered the dc some shorts and a cardi for me

OneLittleLady · 04/08/2014 11:02

queenC my Ds has bigger feet than me (he's a 4) and he's only 10!

Stokey · 04/08/2014 11:44

Oh so sorry Shop

I need some advice ladies - just unpacked and seem to have drunkenly spilt something all the way down my dress on Saturday night - it smells like chocolate. It's silk and dry clean only. Shall i try and cold handwash it with a bit of vanish? Or just take straight to the drycleaners?

There's also a smidgeon of red wine Blush I cannot be trusted

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 04/08/2014 12:30

Oh Shop :( crossing fingers for you and shopdog, I'm sorry to hear she is worse again.

stokey I would just go to the cleaners. Glad the wedding was fun!

Wow novice 25 handbags cleared out Shock

Dry I am not a bridezilla yet but we have basically set a date eeeeek - the 11th April 2015! Grin

libertychick · 04/08/2014 13:00

Shop I am so sorry. Hope you are all ok.

That's exciting Blair. Is your Mum enjoying it all? note I didn't ask about your DP, weddings are a girls show Grin

libertychick · 04/08/2014 13:02

I'd take to it drycleaners Stokey.

Drywhiteplease · 04/08/2014 14:08

shop that's awful. Fingers crossed.
Stokey I wouldn't touch it! leaving it to the pros, if they can't get rid then give it a go.
Blair you know I was kidding don't you? You seem like the least bridezilla woman I've ever met. Dd is obsessed with gossip girl at the mo. Now I know who Blair Waldorf is Grin she was incredulous "how do YOU know who Blair Waldorf is Mum?" , "I'm not that past it you know she's a MNetter"
Just been doing some last minute pre holiday shopping. Bought dd a kimono with fringing and a play suit, things that I wish I could pull off but can't because I'm not 13 Grin vicarious fashion shopping is great Smile

lol Dry Grin yes I knew you were joking (and thanks, I will take the non-bridezilla bit as a compliment!). I LOVE that you have impressed your DD with your GG knowledge and I love it too and am more than twice her age, gulp

liberty yes, my mum (and DP's mum) and 2 sisters (and DP's sister) are all very excited. I have lots of help! :)

shopafrolic · 04/08/2014 14:47

Hi all. Just back from the vets where I saw Shopdog. She was in an awful way so I had to take the decision to have her put to sleep. She couldn't walk and her eyes were glazed over. So horrible. So I won't be here for a few days. Love to all. X

libertychick · 04/08/2014 14:59

So so sorry Shop - sending you hugs.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 04/08/2014 15:09

shop I'm so sorry, Flowers for you and your family.

Topazandpearl · 04/08/2014 15:21

So sorry Shop. I know it is really hard for you and your family and you will all miss her terribly. You have done your best for her and that includes making that hard decision. It will be some consolation to know that she had a good life and is no longer suffering Thanks

LinusDKD · 04/08/2014 15:45

Oh shop (((hugs))) I am so sorry.

OneLittleLady · 04/08/2014 15:53

maradesbois · 04/08/2014 16:31

Stokey · 04/08/2014 17:25

shopafrolic · 04/08/2014 17:31
