It's March. Spring is in the air. We are looking forward to losing layers and baring ankles.

This is the volume of the hen do and wedding. Will queen manage to get shop to wear penis boppers Grin. And will we all shed a tear when the beautiful blair gets married.

Following on from here

shop as far as I'm aware it's me, QueenC, topaz, mara, stokey, ujj and maybe Marsha. Everyone who can't make it will be sorely missed!

Topaz I'm trying to decide on a top now!! Grin

My-Wardrobe's web address now redirects to the outnet, seems a bit odd if they are relaunching.

Have fun Dry and Amber.

Dry we've got Poldark on... I didn't realise Aidan Turner was in it! Loved him in the Hobbit best thing about it :) (pm btw)

Have a fab time everyone who's going tomorrow. Sorry not to be there.

Fedupnagging · 13/03/2015 20:51

Blair I'm not far from the MU venue tomorrow and really hoping to pop in at some point.

Have just finished HOC s3 so need to talk to Marsha. Glad ds is feeling better.

Um, these arrived yesterday . In my defence, they are soooo comfy and can walk for miles in them.

justasecond · 13/03/2015 20:55

Have a great time at the MU everyone. Sorry I couldn't made make it, Promise to be at the next one Smile

Btw saw some Paige Jimmy Jimmy in tkmaxx today in mid blue rinse for £59.99. Our newly opened local one now has the "Contemporary Designers" range I am so happy about this. My town is crap for shops but at least we have a decent TKmaxx now. I went to return the MIH jeans I ordered last weekend. Either the pic was really misleading or they sent the wrong ones as they were the oslo slim leg which I did not like at all. The chambray shirt was a keeper though good under jumpers and on its own.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 13/03/2015 20:59

Oh that's great fedup I didn't realise :) will be lovely to see you!

Nails are painted. I think I've decided on jeans and navy spotty blouse. Off to bed now so see some of you tomorrow Smile

I'm in, see you tomorrow can't wait! Grin

Fedup oh I know, right?!?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 13/03/2015 21:18

justa hope so, would be really nice to meet you :) how annoying about the jeans.

Great news Marsha!

Omg QueenC you just reminded me I meant to paint my nails... On it now Grin

shopafrolic · 13/03/2015 21:21

Love all the pre MU prep

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 13/03/2015 21:27

I usually look like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards! Grin

Topazandpearl · 13/03/2015 21:33

Nails! am just waiting for Ocado order to come so I can get it put away and then paint my nails! (DH is away, otherwise I'd delegate).

Fedupnagging · 13/03/2015 21:41

Haven't fully decided what I'm wearing yet but skinnies, silk shirt and mohair crop knit are the front runners. Footwear is likely to be boots (suprise suprise!)

Blair Shock you so don't look like that!

maradesbois · 13/03/2015 21:57

Yay Marsha and Fedup. Good news Smile.

Ujjayi · 13/03/2015 22:07

Oh my word. Some spooky sync type stuff going on tonight. Ocado order delivered followed by manicure Shock. Nails painted (Kate Spade New York). Might look a bit dodgy as done in poor light without my glasses on...!

Am fairly certain I'll be in black skinnies, black merino v neck & black suede fringe boots. If it's warm enough I'll wear my IM jacket otherwise Paul Smith indigo coat.

Am excited to meet you all but know I'll be crippled by blushes & shyness once I walk in so forgive me Smile

shopafrolic · 13/03/2015 22:16

Ujjayi you will not meet a nicer bunch of women I promise you (although obviously I won't be there Grin )

WhattoWearNow · 13/03/2015 22:17

Just dropping by with a prosecco - have a lovely time tomorrow everyone.
Cranagh - I got a Fitbit for Christmas & I love it. It has made me walk more as I want to keep my number of steps up. But I don't think the sleep mode is that useful tbh (I think it measures sleep on how still you are so you may not be asleep just not moving)!! You also need to input the calorie information which is a bit of a ball ache but worth it. It is really easy to use, pretty robust & has definitely upped my activity levels.
Apart from walking a lot (maybe to TKMaxx on occasion!!), I haven't been shopping as I really want to continue to downsize my wardrobe. I really like the UnFancy blog but 37 items per season would be too tricky for me. I need to think some more about what would be a more manageable number.

Cranagh · 13/03/2015 22:29

WhattoWearNow, thanks for that. I think I will buy one (in slate blue :) )

Shop, you have a lovely holiday wardrobe now, packing will be a breeze. White flip flops sound perfect.

The chambray shirt sounds great, Justa.

Enjoy tomorrow, meeter uppers.

Drywhiteplease · 13/03/2015 22:45

Waaaaaaa leather skinnies holding up, can't speak .... Love MNV

Undecided90 · 13/03/2015 23:03

Hello All. Agree VB looks uncharacteristically awful. Looks like someone else did her make up.

I am sitting here yawning my head off so will trot off to bed soon. I have found a few nice bits online tonight

not clothes, but I love this lampshade

beautiful gold/bronze shoes

love this green skirt

lovely dress

I am trying hard with the calorie counting but jeez its a bind. I am 400 calories over today (Wine and Fish and Chips) Gah.

Have a great MU tomorrow.

I'm on the train Smile. Free wifi, can't get better than than!

I've gone for the cold option of blazer and no pop socks as I decided I'd be too hot in and out of shops in my winter coat. I'm bloody freezing Grin

Ujjayi · 14/03/2015 08:45

QueenC - tis the shopper's cross to bear Wink

Just out of the bath. Train at 10 & will go straight to MU as I don't trust myself in current mood to make any sensible purchases. Am feeling so nervous.

Stokey · 14/03/2015 08:45

Gosh it's only 5 degrees, you're brave QueenC , hopefully it should warm up later and the shops will be hot.

So Dh has arranged a lunch with our friends after swimming so I won't be able to make the MU until 3.30-4ish at the earliest. Is that too late? Sorry we've has a bit of miscommunication here, and I'll be at the Olympic Park so about 40 mins away from town.

Topazandpearl · 14/03/2015 08:49

Also on the train. My original train was cancelled so I have had to make a change. I am well wrapped up as I had to leave so early and will be back late. I cannot abide being cold! I am thawing out now after a cold wait on the platform but the coffee is on its way.
