shop sorry, didn't get a chance to respond earlier as just popped in to give advice to novice. What does your friend normally like? Are they going to be in hospital for a while yet? Anything to keep occupied...if he has Internet access then he's probably sorted as can access films/books online. I guess otherwise books could be tricky as difficult to hold in one hand and turn pages. If he's got a portable DVD player then a box set? Is he into grooming? May be difficult for him to shower so maybe some nice facial/body wipes to freshen up. Or get someone in to give a head massage? Otherwise food is probably always appreciated...chocolates/biscuits/squash/juice etc. or nice teabags/instant coffee.

one have you looked in primary for holiday bits? Ours had a small selection of stuff yesterday and I picked up a strapless beach dress for £4, ideal for just putting on over a bikini.

stokey I would definitely not think that Marsala is a winter colour Confused. Surely it's autumn. It'll never be exactly that colour anyway and there might not even be much of it around. The other year was emerald and there was hardly anything.

santa im sure your bottom won't go droopy! It's frustrating and I feel for you.

karbea that's fab on the compliments.

libertychick · 16/01/2015 20:43

one I would love to try the necklace and and gold tone earrings. I will pm you shortly.

santa be kind to yourself. You have been through a lot and it's hibernation time of year. Eat well, keep walking and you will slowly start to feel more energetic. Hugs for you Flowers

Betty well done on the pistols. Enjoy! They look so warm.

novice hugs for you too. Hope you are chilling out this evening. Well done on following your instincts and getting things sorted for DS.

I am so excited about shop's bag of autumnal toned goodies.

karbea is it day 5 of yoga? High fives!

Stokey · 16/01/2015 20:49

Is anyone watching Room 101? I'm coveting Katherine Ryan's green (p)leather leggings ( although her views on potty training are insane)

Fedupnagging · 16/01/2015 20:55

just love those grey boots Betty. Think you would get lots of wear from them.

Karbea sounds like you are getting yourself together again Smile

Lib it's in the post.

The boden order arrived - these ankle zip jeans are a great fit on me so may order the white for summer.

I just read that there are a few short arses petite ladies on here so would recommend those jeans. I'm 5ft and have, ahem, curves!

Really missed a navy cardigan last summer so bought this early before they sell out like last year.

Shop hope your friend makes a good recovery. Maybe take some nice snacking food. Unless he is in a private hospital, not sure how good the food will be.

Karbea · 16/01/2015 21:15

lib yes day 5, very proud of myself. My friend said that an old school friend of ours went from being chubby (she was always a big girl at school) to model like due to bikram yoga. I've seen pics of her on fb and she looks amazing.
stokey yes they are fab! I'd love some or in chocolate.
fedup I'm trying.

Fedupnagging · 16/01/2015 21:17

Have been looking at bucket bags whilst nail varnish is drying mavala minsk

Love this
And
this

Not so much this
Meant to say to Queen hope your dd is ok
And Novice good for you not taking no for an answer.

santamarianovella · 16/01/2015 21:47

Thank you all Flowers, I know I'm being an ass can't say arse, haven't mastered the silent r and that I need a slap on the face really .I should be thankful for being well, but I can't stop it,

karbea I've had a bit of health issue last month, and needed to undergo surgery, so now I can't do anything for 6 weeks, but I thought I could manage doing something mild, I've always been fit, was playing competitive volleyball since I was 13, hence the good ass , and when I moved to the uk, I began going to the gym regularly, running doing Pilates so this really depresses me, the only time I took, a break was when I gave birth to my dd, and the weight just feel off within a month and I was back to my normal rutine, but I don't know if its just my mind playing tricks, and its making me think that I won't get back to normal,because of what I went through, it makes my mind fry just thinking about it,

linus I like the colour of the vanity bag, and keep your hands off Michael fassbender, he is miiiiiiine , you can have the rest of the x-men cast,

fedup I need white trousers too, I always say this but can't find ones I like,

LinusDKD · 16/01/2015 21:52

You can have Michael Fassbender santa but only because I haven't seen him au naturel in that infamous film Wink

LinusDKD · 16/01/2015 22:00

Love that Sophie Hulme bag fedup!

Oh and sorry shop I missed the news about your friend. Flowers

shopafrolic · 16/01/2015 22:00

just tried on my new silver glittery flatforms and I LOVE them. i definitely need a black maxi to go with them now and a big floppy black sunhat!

QueenCardigan · 16/01/2015 22:04

Anyone want to do the kate moss quiz. Although if you beat my score of 7/10 I'll be peeved Grin
shop are you visiting lib? How exciting!

Karbea · 16/01/2015 22:04

santa 6 weeks really isn't that long, muscles have memories and some people go years without exercising. You'll spring back into shape in no time don't worry.

bettykt · 16/01/2015 22:21

QueenC I got 6/10 and that was mostly guesswork.

Karbea I'm impressed with your daily yoga sessions.

Fedupnagging · 16/01/2015 22:24

Santa I think you need to take a bit easy for a while longer. You were so fit before, I don't think it will take you long to build up your fitness again. Am v Envy at you shedding your baby weight so quickly. Ds3 is 16 and I'm still not there yet Grin

One I just had to google flatforms. Turns out I bought a pair last summer, am sooo fashion forward, who knew! Anyway, yours sound nice - can you link?

muddlingalongquitenicely · 16/01/2015 22:25

6/10 and im quite happy as i guessed a few (most) questions

libertychick · 16/01/2015 22:26

Tomorrow will be fun shop!

QueenC shop and I arranged ages ago that we would have a little MU with our DCs as they met before and got on really well. However, since we arranged it shop has been diagnosed a winter and me an autumn so we have decided to have a clothes swapping / buying session! The bag is full of clothes shop is bringing to my house for me to try and she is bringing her gorgeous Chloe peacoat ( be still my beating heart). So exciting!

Alsoflamingo · 16/01/2015 22:36

I got 6/10 too. Also a fair bit of guesswork.

Santa I feel your pain. I had an op last year snd couldn't exercise for several months. Piled on weight and was miserable. But the good news if that you have a v good base level of fitness so will bounce back once you are safe to exercise.

OneLittleLady · 16/01/2015 22:39

fedup the ones I got are these flatforms they are only available in a couple of sizes online but i got mine instore and they had all sizes available in there

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 16/01/2015 23:05

Sounds like fate Lib and Shop :) hope you have a lovely day.

BrandyAlexander · 16/01/2015 23:26

Oooh Shop and Lib, how very excited for you! Feel free to send me piccies!Grin

On way home from dinner out at the Shard again. Great (much needed) girlie night and drank far too much champers. At £squillions per bottle, I will be on tap water for the rest of the weekend!Shock

I got 7 too, queen, and the only two answers I'm very sure of are donatella Versace,and the chanel gown, I guessed the rest.

Ohh! shop and lib that looks like fun!

Cranagh · 17/01/2015 01:14

Shop, Lib, have fun!

Santa was also back in my usual size within a few weeks of DD1 too (was a gym regular for years), with DD2 back in my usual size within in a week as so busy/too worried to eat (my sil said I was weird and it was because I didn't breastfeed but she was trying to make me feel bad, which does't work with me so whatever!), you will be fine with a few weeks off your usual routine. Hope you feel better soon.
