Happy new year!!!!! Grin so drunk

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/01/2015 04:22

On the train, so impressed they are running. Going to be hitting up McDonald's in the afternoon when I wake up!

Fedupnagging · 01/01/2015 08:15

Happy New Year everyone Smile

Blair sounds like you partied all night! May your first hangover of 2015 be a little one.

Lib, am laughing at your baileys and ice cream, in the ice cream tub!

We went to friends last night, had a takeaway and played board games all evening with our dc's. We had such a fun and relaxed evening. Finally fell into bed at 1.30 then woke at 3, 5 and 7am.

QueenCardigan · 01/01/2015 08:49

Happy new year! Just had fun catching up on all your posts. Had a fabulous evening and all 12 kids lasted till midnight. Wore my new velvet shoes and I think I may even love them more than the silver glitter ones.

lib am very excited about your HOC. I'm with cranagh and reckon you may be a summer too.

Just to confirm that meet up is 14 March. I think we said daytime but that usually goes on till late (I normally get a train home about 8pm). I'm happy to organise but will need the help of Londoners to suggest places.

Stokey · 01/01/2015 08:52

Happy 2015 everyone,

We had a similar evening to you Fed up friends over, three couples, 5 DC, made it til about 1.30 drinking fizz. We played a game called Cards Against Humanity which I recommend if you're after something a bit edgy. Definitely not to be played with any parents or children though!

Am off to check Brand Alley for the Petty's ...

Stokey · 01/01/2015 09:07

No 5s left but they do have 3s Karbea.

I'm toying with the buckle bikerish boots but think the heel may be a bit high.

Fedupnagging · 01/01/2015 09:35

Stokey still 5's left here. I ordered 4.5 yesterday.

shopafrolic · 01/01/2015 09:55

Morning - Happy New Year all!
You can spot the youngest Voguettes on the thread easily can't you and the one's with no kids Grin
I did my usual and was woken up by the fireworks. I'll cook a big brunch in a while and then we'll head off for a long walk somewhere. Hope 2015 is a fab year for all of us.
I'll be in London before March 14th too so will let people know when if anyone fancies a mini MU.

AmberNectarine · 01/01/2015 09:58

Urgh. Hanging.

libertychick · 01/01/2015 10:05

Poor you Amber!

Shop I am definitely up for a mini MU if possible. I am v disappointed I am missing the March one.

QueenC the velvet shoes are fab!

libertychick · 01/01/2015 10:12

hmmm. I just had a look at the summer colours on the Kettlewell site and I could be a summer, I suit a lot of the blues, I could cope with that, just have to ease out the black and replace with navy and grey...

MarshaBrady · 01/01/2015 10:14

I'm guessing summer for you too Lib

I might be able to do a mini mu

Stokey · 01/01/2015 10:18

Thanks Fedup they're on their way Thanks

I'd be up for a mini meet up

Ugh hangover kicking in, need nurofen and shower. Is it bad etiquette to nick the hot water while my guests are sleeping?

Karbea · 01/01/2015 10:23

fedup they are 3 1/2. I've just put a black Isabel marant top and and black half leather rag and bone leggings in my outnet bag, but I'm really err... As I'm thinking maybe I should really wait and do my colour first. Seems stupid after 6 months to buy something wrong... What do you think?

BrandyAlexander · 01/01/2015 10:34

Happy new year lovely Voguettes!!!Wine

Thank you to each of you for your friendship last year. The chat, hand holding, support and fantastic MUs make a huge difference to my life.Smile

I totted up yesterday how much i spent on "stuff". Turns out dh's estimate was right!Blush

Best buy of last year - my MaxMara coat. Closely followed by the Roland Mouret dress. Best fashion moments - discovering I am a 13 yo child in Gap and also ds waking me up at 6am on the day the roland mouret collection for banana republic was released!Grin best MNV sheep moments - my leather trousers worn on Boxing Day (thanks Shop, and that's from dh tooWink!), my Michael Kors stripey top worn yesterday (thanks Shop!), my biker boots (thanks Linus!) and my current lovely orangey nails (thanks QueenC!).

Fedupnagging · 01/01/2015 10:52

Step away from The Outnet Karbea Grin. Think you should def wait until after your consultation. It's only 10 days away.

Glad you got your order in stokey

I am definitely up for a mini meet up too.

I need to get out of bed as we are leaving in 45minutes - taking ds3 and a friend to a football match (why did we agree to do this today, am soooo tired) and dh and I will have a wander round the sales.

Have a lovely day everyone.

bettykt · 01/01/2015 11:17

Shop I'd like to come to a mini meet up as I can't make the mu.

OneLittleLady · 01/01/2015 11:17

karbea I'd wait until after you've done HoC if it were me, I wouldn't want to make any costly mistakes for the sake of a few days

Slept really badly last night so am currently snuggled up in my star wars dressing gown sipping coffee. Dp leaves today so am sad about that

Tomorrow will be busy as I have to get some work finished ready for hand in on monday, yay for last minute work on assignments!

BrandyAlexander · 01/01/2015 11:22

Karbea listen to your Auntie FedUp and Auntie One.Grin

One sorry to hear dp' heading back south today.Thanks
