Operation teaspoon replacement went well, I kinda miss John Lewis and divertimenti for this kind of thing, although my local divertiminti vanished last time I was in London, felt sad, or maybe they were doing refurbishment, I hope, I like going to homeware stores, I must have spent over 20min browsing, I chose the spoons in like 2 min ,its the fine china I was drooling over, my dream is to own a royal Copenhagen dinner service. But that will be just for me and dh, the dcs can still use the Cornish blue set

marsha I know what you mean, i love the meeting part of my work, its so refreshing, we went to an expo, last month and we had to sit down and chat with loads of different offices from all over Europe,and men are just sometimes better at these kinda of things, there is more professionalism in how they approach some issues, they explain better, and there is less negative competitiveness and arrogance going on, and I must say,that men in Europe dress much nicer,

ujj I watched pretty little liars with my cousins, it made my head hurt!
queen thats a very nice Mother's Day gift, but I don't see the need to spend it on Saturday, you can save it for a future purchase or somthing,
lib well done on finishing the assignment
I bought this skirt with and a plain cashmere/silk sweater, but I can't find a link of the exact colour, I like it together but it's really out of my comfort zone to wear them at once, the skirt looks great with simple white shirt, I might exchange the sweater, but it really looks nice with it. 
O! And a welcome to all newbies here ,
