new people always welcome to this thread where we ramble on about clothes and life generally. We are friendly. Happy Christmas everyone

QueenC I need so many things, I have had to get rid of bags and bags of stuff that was 3-4 sizes too big so I haven't got much left now apart from drawers and drawers full of tees! I wear at least two sets of clothes a day as I have isshhoos which mean they need to be changed a lot and it can be more changes sometimes. then if you factor in pjs which i can often have to change during the night, i am definitely short of most stuff any excuse to shop right?!

Shop yes they just had it and it probably will be a while. I bought all that stuff and sent it all back!

I also need skinnies just to replace what I have, looking a bit tatty.

Queenc that's annoying. I got a jumper back from the dry leaders with a hole. They gave me a small payment but really it's putting me off shopping I feel holes are out to get me my clothes

Haha shop I do write down dates of big sales in my diary. Sadly I think the Outnet just had a clearance about 3 weeks ago? There might be another one in the spring, or check out the Weekend shop-in every weekend One (30% off various things) - if you follow them on fb you get regular links each Friday. (Not so much via email I found)

The &Other Stories sale has started. My sister and I are doing a mass accessories order, I will link once it's done!

Delivery for Christmas sales shopping is annoying though. I will be away from home from 24th-29th, and not back at work until the 2nd, so I have no idea where to get anything delivered. I think my mum's house is the safest!

Sunglasses
Cashmere gloves
Long gloves for cape wearing shenanigans
Orange leather gloves

So many gloves, won't need to buy any for a while

for you one. It's a tough time of year. Lack of sunlight really effects us and there is so much going on. Hope you get to relax and enjoy Christmas.

I've just had a lovely afternoon at my friend's house. But I am wiped out now so early night coming up.

Good purchases Blair. Smart sales shopping stocking up on nice accessories.

Did anyone see in ST style mag that stars are going to be in. Love this shirt that they pictured. Love stars and I have that zara summer blouse but would definitely buy more.

my shoes are now reduced.

That's a fab shirt, I love the blue one! So annoying when recent purchases are reduced. At least you've already worn them.

Grabs One's hand and lifts into air, swaying to cheesy Christmas music .....Xmas is a funny time of year for many, nice but sad too. We are here. and you've had an incredible year....don't be sad.

I am in the heart of my big family. I have held a little,smiley baby more cuddles to come over the next few days,yey,baby hugs are better than champagne hugged my DM.told one of my DSIS that I really love her before Booze ........I'm happy

Shop so sorry that MrShop having to work....it's so tough. Exactly my normal Christmas , I know how it feels .

Dp is in the front room......wrapping my presents!!! they have been sat in a bag at the side of the sofa for the last two days and it has taken real willpower not to have just a little peek. I know one of them is tickets to something but I don't know what! arrrrggggh!!

Sorry Shop I totally missed your dh has to work over the Christmas period. It doesn't sound fair if he'd planned to be off.

dry you give that little one a squeeze for me and have a wonderful time with your family

I am online researching what i'm buying in the new year, i definitely need some new boots and I'm really hoping the Dr Martens I want go on sale but I am willing to pay FP if they don't. Also looking for cashmere, dressy tops and nice blouses and decent quality, not too short skirts and dresses, possibly jersey for the dresses. Also desperately searching for some Harley Quinn converse but they are sold out online and they are not available in any of the stores either me or Dp can get to

Not been around for a while - went away for a few days but also a couple of 'ishoo's' going on too.

Firstly, One, you are such a trooper, you will get through these bleak feelings. As Dry said this can be happy/sad time of year.

Queen, love your xmas outfit board. Haven't decided yet what I fancy but did rather like the silver sequin skirt. You drunk post was funny!

Great shopping Blair.

Shop love your bin story but sorry you dh is having to work when you were expecting him to be home.

I am not sure what I need sales shopping wise as opposed to want except underwear like everyone else and nightwear.

No fashion news except I wore an all black outfit the other day (silk shirt, cropped trousers) with a large silver statement necklace and leopard print shoes and had lots of compliments which cheered me up.

I think I may have become a shoe junkie. The silver shoes and compliments have given me the taste for shoes. There's some others reduced in topshop that I love but I don't really need them. Aargh, what will win- head or heart...?

Head QueenC! Head! Else before you know it, the following happens....

A few weeks ago....

Ds is rolling round on the carpet in my dressing room. He stops and looks at my shoes.

"Are all those shoes yours mummy?"

"yes darling"

"what, all of them mummy?"

"Yes darling".

"It's like a shoe shop mummy"

Cue me looking furtively around to check dh is not in vicinity, cast ds murderous look and quick change the subject!

Those shoes are gorgeous though!

Are they the blue velvet ones QueenC I want those ones and the black glittery ones. I have some purple sparkly shoes, they are covered in sequins but the heel is a bit wobbly on one so much go and have them fixed

Morning One, hope you're not too bad this morning

Morning all.

Hope you're ok fedup.

Love that story novice

I'm watching Say Yes to the Dress in my dressing gown, need to dry my hair and get dressed as I'm going out at 11. I don't think I feel up to drinking until late, although that is the plan I feel very run down. Christmas is a funny time. Hope you're feeling better today One.

I have caught the dcs lurgies and didn't sleep for more than a couple of hours, now heading into office for last time this year. I hate it when people come in and they're not well but it's been a frantic few weeks which all comes to a head today. So much for a quiet December, I had approx 1500 emails last week but was in back to back meetings the whole week. I have by some miracle and late nights read them all.

Today is dress down and my outfit is reminding me of Voguettes. I am wearing my theory leather leggings (inspired by Shop) with a cream Karen Millen bateau neck chunky knit (present from dbro but inspired by shop) with my biker boots (inspired by Linus). Today's bag is my red Nancy (which reminds me of Dry though she fell out of love with hers). One of my bits of bling is the Swarovski chic ring (which I know Lib likes).

Speaking if Voguettes, much hugs to Fedup and Santa. x

Sorry fedup I didn't see your ishoos. Hope you're ok.
one you know me too well! Those are exactly what I eant!

Hugs and for you Fedup, I hope things improve. Love the sound of your all black outfit, very chic.

You sound more upbeat today One. Amazing willpower not looking in the present bag.

Great outfit novice. You will turn heads at work in leather leggings when they are used to seeing you in your usual mega sharp business woman mode . I do love that ring. Your DS is very funny.

I'm still debating a bag, think I know what I want but playing sales chicken, it has been reduced but it's early days yet... . I also need to have a discussion with DH so aiming for best time when he's a little merry, full of festive cheer etc yes, I am a scheming so and so

I knew it would be those QueenC!

hugs and for you fedup I hope things improve

santa big hugs to you as well

I am a bit brighter today lib thanks for inquiring. Just wish I could get rid of all the aches, pains and general illnesses I've got

I'm making up a little gift bag for an elderly friend of mine, I've got some nice chocolates, hankies, leather gloves and biscuits and I'm going to add a bottle of pink fizz. I am really worried she's going to be spending xmas alone so I just want her to know someones thinking about her

That's lovely of you one.
I am out with DD. In central London having hot choc and popcorn. Not too busy at all.
