Yes, yes to Meet Up and modelling of new clothesSmile

Not only are they a little 'Robin Hood', they're also out of stock in any kind of normal size.

Now I've got googling, and found all manner of nice things. Like these for example.

beachyhead · 31/12/2014 19:58

I like those pony skin ones, QQ. I bought these in the sale which dh has declared passion killers! They only had an 18 in the local M&S, so they are massive but comfy!

Both teens are off at parties, so dh, dd and I have treated ourselves to a early Wagamama's and then we are off to the neighbours for a glass of fizz in a bit... Then home to snuggle up in those pj's...

Happy new year and see you all in 2015.

I'm sitting on the bed at DDad's, all dolled up in my party frock and diamonds, awaiting the arrival of the first guest for their NYE Posh Dinner. BIL has been slaving away in the kitchen with veal cheeks and other such frivolities.

DCs and their cousins have been fed pizza and will be locked in a bedroom until midnight, when they will be invited out to watch Jools ring in the New Year (if they're lucky). DS said "it's all about you this evening, isn't it?" Well, err, yes it is. Grin Wine Wine

Happy New Year, all.

MI - green

Wilbur how unutterably crap.... But then I was Shock at dp's sil cross examining his sister at the Christmas dinner table about the return of her (incurable) cancer.... People are weird...

bigTillyMint · 31/12/2014 20:26

Herbs, I like those grey ponyskin ones.

Beachy, not sure I disagree with your DHWink

Have glammed up (well, from my PJ's previously!) and we are nearly ready to go out. No doubt DD will be a while yet...

hattymattie · 31/12/2014 20:59

Happy New Year Crepeys. We made a spur of the moment decision this morning and went to Versailles with DD's godfather leaving a house full of sleeping teenagers. It was a beautiful day and we lunched in a restaurant in the grounds.

We have now dispatched our three children to various parties and have eaten. I think I'm ready for bed having peaked too early but will make an effort to last until midnight, watch Graham Norton and drink pink champagne.

MontserratCaballe · 31/12/2014 22:17

Lost my earlier post. Grrrrr.

Fear we have peaked too soon. We took kids out for pizza at 4, with wine and starters for us, the home for supper once kids in bed. Now Dh snoring in sofa and I have made a cup of herbal tea Hmm.

Happy new year to crepeys one and all. See you on the other side Smile

Happy New Year 2015!
Have enjoyed my 7up and an X-men film. Now having a cup of chamomile and going to bed. Party on! Grin

Happy New Year Grin

QueenQueenie · 01/01/2015 01:24

Happy 2015 lovely Crepeys.
The dinner was indeed very, err, eccentric... but am rather merry on an excess of champagne, so all good!
Much love and goodwill to all of you. A big YES to a meet up soon from me.

CointreauVersial · 01/01/2015 02:39

Just off to bed, DS tucked up in a camp bed beside me, DH still partying downstairs.

Meal was epic. There were Sweetbreads. There was Rose Veal. Several varieties of wine. And a Trio of desserts. Smile

Happy 2015!

Happy New Year - was asleep until the fireworks an DDog sitting on me in an attempt to escape.....

Blowy start to 2015 here.

bigTillyMint · 01/01/2015 09:32

Happy New Year Crepeys!

Feeling rather bleary-eyed after getting to bed at 2 - had a lovely time at our friends and my DC joined in enthusiasticallySmile

Think I may be heading back to bed soon!

Auriga · 01/01/2015 09:45

QQ tell us about your eccentric dinner. Prawn and banana starters? Kippers and chocolate? Carrot trifle? Dog biscuits?

lalsy · 01/01/2015 11:31

Happy New Year crepesters Grin.

motherinferior · 01/01/2015 11:33

I feel a little delicate today.

MontserratCaballe · 01/01/2015 11:40

Happy new year! I don't feel delicate enough, so clearly need to remedy that today. Need to do some work alas at some point as am teaching on Saturday.

Desperate to hear tales of wild parties, esp those involving unusual menus. It was steak and salad here. Dullsville, Arizona.

Right, time to organise a few dates for my new diary. Herbs, are you at IOE on Thursdays still? Fancy a cup of coffee in Russ Square at some point? And Rose, I owe you a festive glass of fizz on Selfridges too. Any other crepeys in vicinity v welcome. Plus if any s London crepeys fancy a stroll through Brock park, I would love to join you.

I must now away to the Insolvency Act. A fine cure for hangover, heartache or insomnia Hmm

cremolafoam · 01/01/2015 11:46

Happy New Year lovelies!
I crashed last night and dh had to wake me up for 12. I was vv groggy but enjoyed Ruby Turner on Jools' hootenanny.!

Off to work at 2, prob in fur coat, as now I've got it I intend to wear it everywhereSmile
Yes, I will not forget my drawers Qq
GrinGrin

motherinferior · 01/01/2015 11:51

I will need to work tomorrow.

herbaceous · 01/01/2015 12:01

Feeling far too chipper for a New Year's Day. Must be because I fell asleep before midnight, and only woke up when the fireworks started. Ruby Turne was ace, wasn't she crem!

Have friends for lunch, each bringing a course, so will feel dreadful tomorrow instead. At some point today I have to buy tickets for my train trip to Sheffield, buy tickets for a panto tomorrow (can't decide which one - we're surrounded by excellent options) and insert appendices into my assignment. None of these are good jobs when drunk.

Previous smugness about having only put on one Yuletide pound has evaporated - turns out it's four. Viewing my girth yesterday, DS said 'is that what you got for Christmas mummy? A jelly belly?'
