Morning all,

Still ill here but it's the last week of uni before the holidays so must push through to get work finished much as I'd rather be laid in bed. Have loads of work to do over the holidays as well so no rest for the wicked as they say

Very miserable day here, real feel temp is 0 degrees and it's raining, better find one of my many woolly hats out!

Drywhiteplease · 15/12/2014 07:57

BettY like shop we have both greedy . A prime free delivery is excellent too. Both seem to offer different things.
Have caught up with The Missing depressing, complicated, brilliant and only done episode 1 of HoC. I'm sure Tvs will become a thing of the past, I seem to watch everything on my iPad mostly because my dcs hog BOTH Tvs with their crap
Have a good day all.

Morning!

Love your bag porn lib! I prefer the shape of the grey BV but not the colour.

queenc great links, love that red dress.

betty that Céline box bag is gorgeous, a real classic.

It's a very misty humid day here. There was loads of mist on the fields when I went for my morning run and the fact that I didn't meet any other people (usually meet lots of people walking their dog) made it a bit creepy.

No idea what I'm going to wear today but it'll be comfortable as I have a lot of chores to do and I have to start packing as well because we're leaving on
Saturday. Xmas Smile

Fedupnagging · 15/12/2014 09:01

Am supposed to writing Christmas cards but have got a little distracted!

Great links last night Queen. Hope you have a better week this week.

Lib, you linked some fab bags. My favourite is the mulberry. Santa love the box bag too.

We only recently upgraded to sky hd so we could get the box sets but can't get Breaking Bad which is what I want to watch next. We don't have any movie channels either but sky have a lot you can rent. Betty I have HOC s2 on DVD - am happy to lend it to you - pm me if interested.

Today I'm wearing maison scotch skinnies and this sweater.

Lots of jobs to do,so am going to hide the iPad Grin

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:22

Morning. Ds at home today with headache/earache so am gutted not to be able to do my circuits class as feeling very porky after over indulging all weekend.

lib I've had a quick look at the bags but will go and look properly now. How big is the grey BV as its a bit similar to your dvf?

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:33

For lib....
another mulberry

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:34

chloe

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:37

Marc jacobs. I've linked this before. I've got a similar colour bag and it's very versatile and looks good in summer as well as winter.

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:40

love this le pliage

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:42

love this long champ too

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:46

LOVE this BV

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:49

High St now. Can you tell I'm avoiding chores....

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:50

banana republic

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:55

dico-esque

QueenCardigan · 15/12/2014 09:56

And now I must stop. I could seriously look at bags all day.

AmberNectarine · 15/12/2014 09:59

Am panicking. SO much to do today, have six nights out in row starting tomorrow. Why am I on MN rather than getting on with stuff?

Someone kick me up the arss!

santamarianovella · 15/12/2014 10:07

meow meow, not for liberty, but couldn't resisit not linking Xmas Grin for amber maybe?

My parents bought a similar one from bonpoint for dd as an Xmas present, she is not into toys that much, but loves dressing up.

Stokey · 15/12/2014 10:15

Great bags QueenC I really like Longchamp's leather range and the BR ones are a great price.

I've got Amazon Prime on trial at the moment Betty. They are offering free 30 day trial so thought Christmas was a good time to do it. Annoyingly the app doesn't work on our TV even though Netflix does.

I need to stocktake Xmas presents today and see what is left. Am in town tomorrow and Westfield on Wednesday to finish off, then there's just all the wrapping.

santamarianovella · 15/12/2014 10:19

this is dd Xmas present, think its nicer than the charlotte Olympia one,

amber I admire your stamina, I felt completely deflated yesterday,did 3 parties in one week ,and hosted one, and I was completely knackered all day yesterday,

MarshaBrady · 15/12/2014 10:58

Love all the bag links. My ultimate is the same as Betty, the box bag. Maybe navy if they do it.

Santa same here for The Fall. It doesn't help that I loathe JD in it and pretty much only watching to see him get caught.

MarshaBrady · 15/12/2014 11:00

Having a long breakfast out with Dh before Birmingham later, last leg. Quite like this way of working ;

LinusDKD · 15/12/2014 11:11

Oh Bonpoint brings back memories!

My First Holy Communion dress and shoes were from there. Will try and find a picture when I'm at my DP's.

Maybe I should buy DD a handbag as she loves going trough mine and open my wallet and take out my credit cards

Poor queencjr I hope he feels better soon. Earache is horrible, especially as you can only give them painkillers.

AmberNectarine · 15/12/2014 12:11

My DD is getting (among other things) a hideous handbag in the shape of a Dalmatian with a sequinned coat. It is really vile, but she was smitten in the shop and asked Father Christmas for it when we saw it at the weekend.

I don't know if even I have the stamina for that kind of carry on but you're only 30 once so I'm gussying up and getting on with it. Hopefully DH has bought me a spell at the priory for Xmas.
