Sounds like bliss! Did and I have been getting party bag stuff for her extravaganza birthday party. They're watching TV now while I mumsnet. I reckon have 20 mins max!

Found my ring that I was badly trying to describe!

MarshaBrady · 17/01/2015 15:56

Great swapping Shop and Lib

Lovely bag Novice

I made myself go for a run, have been under the weather for last two days, but I'm very glad I did it.

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 16:00

Novice sorry no pics - it was a bit frantic watching kids out of one eye whilst trying on each others wardrobes! Grin
Your Dior palette arrived today Thanks - made me laugh when you said you got a Bayswater in oak (the only premium bag that I owned that you didn't have!) I EBayed mine - if I'd known you wanted it we could have done a bag swap!
QueenC enjoy. DH flew this morning so DS and I are solo now. He has a party tomorrow PM so I'll get a couple of hours off. Today was a very pleasant distraction.

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 16:02

So cold here - a little snow has stayed in the back garden - more due tomorrow. Lib also gave me a Uniqlo black down gilet - it's on already.
Novice I meant to say I thought of you as I ordered DS' cake from a cake store here this time - it's Disney Cars themed. He is very excited - I wept at the price.

Karbea · 17/01/2015 16:13

Hello all, I'm freezing! It snowed whilst I was at yoga it was a shock when I came out of the studio!
We are going to the theatre tonight, I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I might wear one of the uniqlo heat tech tops and a blazer, blue jeans and brown boots, I do feel I'm being very samey at the moment but I guess I am working with a very limited wardrobe. Anything remotely eveningy I have is black...

MarshaBrady · 17/01/2015 16:28

What are you seeing Karbea?

LinusDKD · 17/01/2015 16:31

I love those rings novice!

I also have an oak Bayswater, I think it was the first designer bag I bought for myself and wasn't a gift from DM or DH. I haven't worn it for years as the colour doesn't work with much of my wardrobe but maybe I'll get it out again in summer.

QueenCardigan · 17/01/2015 16:31

marsha now I feel bad for not getting my fat arse off the sofaGrin

libertychick · 17/01/2015 16:42

Minilib had a great time too Shop. It is really lovely the way they get on and play together so well. I have the A&W green mohair jumper on - hasn't come off since you left. Sorry for lack of pics Novice. The two DS's were playing a game that involved throwing a ball down the stairs and chasing it so it was a bit nerve wracking at times hoping they didn't take a tumble while trying on a lot of clothes very fast!!! Great fun though and I am so pleased with the swaps and fully in love with the fabulous Chloe peacoat Smile

MarshaBrady · 17/01/2015 16:44

lol! QueenC Grin

I have had an ill child home for a few days and felt so bad about missing it. I had to go otherwise I was in danger of falling into bad stretch land.

Karbea · 17/01/2015 16:48

marsha book of the Mormon - I think we're the last people to see it.

libertychick · 17/01/2015 16:59

Just reread my last post - that should be 2 DC's Grin

Shop the plaid scarf is on my Blue Autumn pinboard if you want to pin that too.

MarshaBrady · 17/01/2015 17:02

Karbea enjoy, yes I have actually seen that! Be great to hear what you think it's quite full on in parts

Love the pin board swap around going on.

BrandyAlexander · 17/01/2015 17:03

Wowsers! No way I could have gone for a run today!! I need one too thinking of the food I consumed at Hutongs last night. Serious gluttony!

Shop and Lib are forgiven for lack of photos given the mortal danger the dcs were inGrin

Shop, omg, you should see the cake dd is having. I also cringed as I paid the bill.Blush It's by the same lady who made dd's Peppa Pig cake last year.

muddlingalongquitenicely · 17/01/2015 17:27

What a day!
Seen little sister in her wedding dress and she looks gorgeous very downton abbey and suits her down to the ground.
Bridesmaid dresses was a different story! She was looking at cornflower blue but when the sample was held up against me i looked ill so i spotted a petrol blue which looked nicer and worked for my other sister as well. Other sister couldnt see any styles she liked and i think we could struggle.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 17/01/2015 17:46

You're not a Summer then muddling! :) sounds like a lovely day. I bought my bridesmaids' dresses online so they never got to try them on all together, it was more like "right I like this, you're wearing it" Blush luckily they are all obviously warm toned. They are wearing coral.

muddlingalongquitenicely · 17/01/2015 17:57

Luckily the wedding is next year so plenty of time.
Both myself and my sister who is the bridesmaid we just look so different im dark haired she is blonde i am busty she isnt.

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 17:59

Muddling when my wedding photographer got married, her bridesmaids all wore different dresses but in similar shades. pics here if of interest

muddlingalongquitenicely · 17/01/2015 18:05

Thats a great idea i will show her the pictures thanks shop i think its trying to find dresses that fit in with the downton style as well so we are going to start a pin board of ideas

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 18:11

God - I just watched her wedding video again at the bottom of that link and I'm weeping - love a wedding me

QueenCardigan · 17/01/2015 19:55

Just seen the swaps on pin. What an absolute fantastic swapping party you had.

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 20:08

'Twas awesome Queen. And the fact that our little ones get on so well is fab. DS went to bed asking if MiniLib could come and play tomorrow bless him.
I remember looking at that fuschia jumper when Lib got it and loving it but I thought I was an Autumn then. The Cos sweater dress is fab too - looks awesome with my leather leggings. I have basically hoovered up a lot of Lib's black and grey, and passed on a lot of yellow, rust and teal.
Lib I'm kicking myself for passing up both those grey knits. I know you wanted to keep one but if you fancy letting one go then let me know......

shopafrolic · 17/01/2015 20:09

So in other news, everything else I plan to get rid of is on my EBay board on Pin. Shout if any of you Autumns are interested in any of it.

Drywhiteplease · 17/01/2015 20:09

Loving the Blue AutumN cOlours liberty...... The Me and Em teal Grecian dress I fab. Also liking the jewel winter colours for Shop.
