Yes dh has stayed at home lib. His colleague is an ass when it comes to things like this. You wouldn't believe some of the things he's said when dh or other colleagues have been ill.

bettykt · 05/02/2015 14:28

Alex Gerrard with her Favelas bag!

Flowers QueenC glad dh is able to help you, not impressed by his colleague's attitude though Angry

Karbea · 05/02/2015 14:31

Ooo my j crew order has just arrived :)

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/02/2015 14:36

My melissa O bikini has arrived and I've picked up my things from the tailor. Lots of trying on later :)

OneLittleLady · 05/02/2015 16:36

Glad Dh stayed at home to help you QueenC

Hope all ill voguettes and miniettes feel better soon

Dr has agreed that things have reached breaking point and is going to research which pain clinic in the london area will be best suited to offer me some help. he is going to write to me to get me to go in for an appointment to talk to me about where I will be referred once he has found the right place to send me. He also agrees the disease has spread again and is now also in my right hip. He laughed when I said if it quacks like a duck it's likely to be a duck isn't it. feeling pretty low about it all tbh but must dust myself off and get on, i have a lot of stuff to do and a lot of work to either start or get finished off. Onwards and upwards as they say!

Drywhiteplease · 05/02/2015 16:36

Afternoon all.

Givenchy Hmm.....why this constant need to shock?

QueenC glad you're DH stayed to help. I think his colleague is an "arse". Hope you feel better soon, sinusitis is horrid.

So I'm sitting here with my earl grey looking at my shopping list:
Anchovies
Basil
Capers spaghetti puttanesca on Fri
MIH Marrakesh flares
Grin

And......confessions of a shopaholic part 357:

Bumped into a mum from primary school all freshly botoxed and pert :

"I'm not supposed to be spending"
"Me neither"
"I'm going to a ball, I've just seen a dress, I've got one that will do, just walking around Trying not to try it on"
"I've just seen some leather leggings"
"Try the dress"
"Try the leggings"
Sprint off in opposite directions

I actually did a big u turn and continued running to my car
these looked nice but haven't tried

linus Thanks Thanks Thanks love the red striped heart patch jumper! arrived today. X

libertychick · 05/02/2015 16:56

Enough with the flares everyone - I am starting to twitch - and they really would not suit me

Dry Grin at the M&S enabling

Twitching a lot lib, would be so nice unusual to be on trend at the beginning if the trend!!!!

LinusDKD · 05/02/2015 17:07

Same here dry! I am usually years behind a trend.

Oh and if I can wear pleather leggings, you can too!

Glad you got your parcel dry and glad you got your money lib!

LinusDKD · 05/02/2015 18:42

Poor DS has a fever again. Out of the blue he had 40 degrees Sad

I really thought he had had his dose of the flu two weeks ago but it seems I was wrong.

I am also feeling a bit grotty probably also because of my periods but I am self-medicating with Lemsip, chocolate and red wine in the hope of not getting ill myself.

MarshaBrady · 05/02/2015 18:52

Oh no Linus Sad hope you don't get ill too.

MarshaBrady · 05/02/2015 18:53

And I hope your ds feels better soon.

Love all the flare love on here and pin.

AmberNectarine · 05/02/2015 18:54

dry if you do try those on and happen to be an 8, I can sell you a pair at a knock down price - wore mine once before I got my helmut langs.

OneLittleLady · 05/02/2015 19:00

Oh no linus hope you are both well again soon

My holiday wardrobe is pretty much complete, just need to check what sandals and other suitable footwear I have. I'd rather not have to buy any more if I don't have to so will check what's in my bag of summer shoes before I decide if i need to buy anything else

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 05/02/2015 19:21

Well I may be bowing out of the flares game. I'm wearing them at the moment and got told by DP that he "despises" them and "are you sure they're fashionable?" and I look like I'm from "the 90s". I made him take photos of my legs (wearing pistols) and they don't look how I imagined at all :( I know iphone cameras aren't great but why did I think that someone with short legs and massive thighs could ever look good in flares? They aren't as high waisted as I remembered either.

He has apologised and said that he didn't realise they weren't something I can just return, but it's put a dampener on them for me Hmm

Maybe I need to try them with various tops/coats but I feel too bad about it tonight.

Bikini is nice though, think I will keep! not that he deserves to see me in it

maradesbois · 05/02/2015 19:38

[Grin] Betty that says it all really!

Blair Thanks. My dh has no filter for things like that either so can appreciate how you feel. Remember this is from the man who wears a onesie though so don't take his opinion too seriously Wink. He was commenting on the garment itself too and not how you looked in it so don't stress about your fab figure. x

Drywhiteplease · 05/02/2015 19:43

Amber guess where I'll be going after my half day tomorrow? Will let you know. Thanks so much for the offer. Smile

AmberNectarine · 05/02/2015 19:43

Think you need the MNV opinion blair, much more important than a man's.

MarshaBrady · 05/02/2015 19:48

Blair he gets a vogue bong on the head for that!

Drywhiteplease · 05/02/2015 19:50

And Blair and liberty are you both too young to remember when skinnies first came on the scene thanks Stella after decades in boot cuts I remember saying never, never, NEVER! Sort arse like me, stumpy legs iin skinnies Shock..... And now look at me!
The joy is that I got into shape, so I'm thinking if flares and heels return, I can pig out and drop the gym Grin!!!!!!

Mara on to season 4, Alicia's clothes get better and better. Love how they style Kalinda (always some leather, kick arse) and Diane (big, brassy costume jewellery, big hair, power dressing pro). Alan Cummings and her brother are genius. I'm hooked.

LinusDKD · 05/02/2015 19:54

I'm sure you look great in them blair! Maybe try wearing them with something else, like some high heeled pumps.

betty that picture of Alex Gerrard is the perfect example of what I was saying earlier.

one I really hope you get referred to the right pain clinic so you get proper help.

Haribo cola bottles have joined the Lemsip, chocolate and red wine ....

Topazandpearl · 05/02/2015 20:14

Oh I am so sorry for all the illnesses out there. I hope you and your families all are better soon.
I can't imagine being in flares, but maybe I just haven't got used to seeing them enough yet.
I have been pretty much low -sugar through Jan (lots of Hemsley recipes) and feel better for it (and have lost 7lbs!) Now I am including some fruit and unrefined sugars.
I'm with Shop on the hen-do front, but I will be leaving early (so the tack can come out then Wink)

shopafrolic · 05/02/2015 20:20

We're starting the first episode of the Good Wife tonight so please don't give too much away.
Blair I can't imagine them looking too good with Pistols TBH, they need a slimmer heel I think but yes, bad form future DH That might come close to the MarshaDH boot slating of 2013.

MarshaBrady · 05/02/2015 20:22

lol Shop I just laughed. Exactly something to do with a market stall look.

shopafrolic · 05/02/2015 20:23

Linus can you be my GP? Love how you medicate :)
V impressed with Amazon. They collected the Paige denim at 10am and have sent me an email confirming the refund this evening.
