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

Good stuff - glad you had fun. I was indeed wildShop at 18

Dh is sending me pins of incredible architecture in remote locations. And blogs full of gorgeous interior design. At least we have the same taste I guess! Plus love the pale, simple Scandi look inside, pared back. Am swooning over it.

Shop come to the next one

Can't wait to find out what you are, Liberty I don't think you're a winter but then I am always wrong!

Gorgeous boots, Shop.

Funny about your DS, Fedup, I wouldn't have wanted to drive at 18 either!

Hi Betty, I used to post but stopped for a while and namechanged.

Not too bad a price for R&B, Marsha, mine worked out at £80 but will be a pita to return if they don't fit (please fit, please fit).

Mara your night sounds fab.

As soon as I get my whiny children to bed, I will have a big glass of prosecco.

Hi all!
Hope you all have a great NYE. I am off to my brother's in a bit, not sure how the dc will cope staying up late
My best buy of 2014 is prob the rich and skinny jeans from TK Maxx that the lovely Cranagh recommended. They are the perfect fit for me and I wear them all the time wish I had bought more
Also this bag www.mulberry.com/shop/womens-bags/totes/tessie-tote-oxblood-soft-small-grain which was a present from DH. It is prob not the most exciting bag but I love the colour and simple design.
I love your bag Cranagh a gorgeous style and colour and congratulations on finding a new house!
Beautiful boots Shop a lovely classic style.
Blair that shoe website is great. I must admit I wasted quite while on there designing a pair of oxfords
I have curbed my sale spending a bit this year as I don't really need anything. The only thing on my list is black biker boots which I have been looking for since last year. If anyone sees any for around £150 that are not too chunky please let me know.

Oh forgot the pettys, they have been a v useful purchase, very versatile and comfortable. There are some on brand alley today for £59 in case anyone interested.

Karbea can't believe I didn't mention your Manolos. What a lovely present. Are you still looking to change them? Sorry to hear you had a rubbish 2014 hope 2015 is much better for you, please stick around and we'll hold your hand if you're having a tricky time. Did you book your HOC day?

Shop can't believe I didn't get to meet you at the MU. If the next date is set in stone I can't make that one but really hope to meet you some time in 2015. Those boots are fab, I really like them.

Liberty wow that's some kick arse changes you're making. I'm on a mission to drop a stone and I've re-ignited my gym membership. Did spin last night. Felt good. I've a feeling the Dannie's will be a bit too tight initially but hopefully I'll shrink into them over the coming months . Looking forward to hearing about yours and Blairs HOC days. How exciting.

Those of you who are already out have fun and I look forward to hearing all about it tomorrow. I'm in with dh, the lady at Waitrose asked me if I was over 25 when I was paying for the booze,I was gobsmacked I was make up free and looking a bit rough.

No time to catch up, kisses to all you lovelies, wish you all a fab new year, and thanks for all your support.

We must end this thread before midnight, new thread for the new year

Santa might be a bit of a push

Betty IDed, there's your NYE present!

Big wave to Justa great to see you.

Loo stop.....first course done.....lots of champ.....DH brought big guns out phnarrrrr st Emillion Grand cru 1992, wasted on me but will try love you xxxx

Try harder Dry
Huge wave and hug to the fabulous Santa

I hope you are wrong cranagh . It will cost me a fortune if I am not a winter! That said I could be summer like you. I really do think I am cool rather than warm toned but we'll see.

That is a really lovely bag justa.

I am feeling quite kick ass about 2015. DH and I have done a lot of talking this Christmas and I am determined to make some changes.

That's the best news I've had all evening Lib sounds v positive x

Marsha I couldn't answer her for a split second I thought she was joking.

Justa that is a lovely bag, love that colour too

Santa that's a lot of chatting

I am most likely wrong, Liberty, I usually am! Hope 2015 is good to you.

Justa, lovely bag, great colour.

3/4 of a bottle of Prosecco down (DH on beer ) Nothing on TV so we are on Netflix, watching Flight with Denzel W.

I've seen that, not bad. Just watched Mark W in something. Ds looks like he will stay up later than us

I have struggled through half a bottle of prosecco, it's completely foul. But I pushed on. It's NYE.

Liberty that sounds great.

I never thought I would see the day where Marsha says prosecco tastes foul

I think it's a dud, or cheap, or a cheap dud

Dh thought it was foul too. We both took a sip and pulled faces.

Still finishing this glass though.

Weeping for you whilst glugging my v drinkable prosecco :(

lol

Oh no Marsha! Have you any other booze in? I am about to switch to Baileys!

Thanks for all the nice comments! I hope I can stay positive. But am feeling v good. Nice way to end the year.

betty the shoes are too big so I need to exchange them. I will try and hang around, thank you.
I'm watching The Help not very cheery! But I loved the book.

Karbea Oh I blubbed at The Help, it was good though
