Awwwwww Novice thanks .
I chuckled before the girls arrived yesterday. Dd called me " is a goth Mum, please don't say anything will you"!!!!
Well

1. I'm not that tactless
2. I lived through punk, indie and New Romantic, lived in a CITY, have lived a bit away from our provincial town!!!

Prepared myself for the arrival of Siouxsie Sioux ......... A very clean young girl arrived wearing smudged black eyeliner, black DMs, ripped black skinnies, lovely blonde hair in a bun.......no ripped fishnets, no chipped black nail varnish, no piercing, no deathly pale foundation, no black lipstick, no jet black dyed hair I had to stop myself from saying " call yourself a Goth, that's pathetic!" sheltered children/Jack Wills does goth

And liberty no Mitsy bags at Mulberry factory shop today

haha, brilliant dry sounds a lovely stylish girl but not quite.....goth

Dp is back for christmas, he arrived this afternoon and has already discovered my stash of nibbles!! he better back away from the Just Brazils, they are mine!!

Claudia's dress no 2 is not at all her. Pearls?!!!!

Ooh cheeky One

I thought that dry pearls aren't her at all. I'm 15 mins behind BTW no spoilers please x

But I love Tess' cuff.....blingtastic

I was a proper goth, used to wear corsets, maxi skirts, dyed black hair, lace gloves, stripper shoes, dog collar. Was awful, but at least I was committed!

That's what I mean Amber. How was dinner? Or are you posting from the loo?

I was too Amber it's only in the last few years that I got rid of all my old 'goth clothes' I remember buying my first spiked collar, i wore it til it snapped then promptly bought another one as well as a black velvet one with a cross dangling from it

linus where are your leather skinnies from?

Woop for the Strictly result!
Dry they are Paige faux ones that Linus got I think.....

Yes dry mine are the Paige Paloma pleather leggings. Are you tempted?

Morning Linus! Did I ever thank you for the fortnum &mason tip?

Morning novice! Yes, I think you did.

I love F&M and I have used them a few times to send hampers to friends and family abroad and they've always been well received.

Actually, I have always wanted one myself but no one has ever sent me one

I am currently at my DP's and they are super happy to see the DC's as last time they saw them was in July.

We've not even been here for 24h and they've already consumed their bodyweight in Haribo sweets.

Oh Lordy! That will be my dcs by the time Christmas holidays are over! All our usual discipline goes out of the window and it's almost a relief to get back to work and school. Almost. How lovely for your parents though.

linus not sure. I love leather leggings, think they look amazing on many, and like them a lot on you. V tempted to try......have made many fashion u turns over the years.

This isn't really a problem but what the heck am I going to do with 11 boxes of chocolates ?(I'll drink the bottles!!)....... Can't exactly take them to a charity shop. Think my local Old People's home will be deluged. Any ideas?

Grab yourself some sparkle and a onesie. Vogue Christmas day outfits are here

Local food bank dry?

QueenC great idea.....thanks! will google

Ooooh those sparkly LKBs are lush. Like Sleep's Rossi ones.

Love all the Christmas jumpers!

Gorgeous stuff QueenC, I really love that colourful Valentino bangle.

Wow QueenC that felt like christmas come early as I logged on with a in hand :) I would wear any of the gorgeous pencil skirts. probably layered with about 5 napkins as I sat down to eat Steering clear of the onesies though

Dry my mum has the same issue, until Friday she was a year 6 teacher, (she's now semi-retiring to 2 mornings a week) but she is always drowning in chocs, candles, wine and flowers this time of year. The food bank is a lovely idea.

food bank is a great idea dry it'll be nice for those who are in the unfortunate position to need them to have a few treats. Most supermarkets have a foodbank trolley, normally near the entrance/exit.

Lovely pinboard QueenC I love almost everything on it

Also love the sequin Birger skirt and blush fluffy one.
