Hi all

Hope you are feeling better one

Glad a good time was had at the MU

Glad you have a white dress option shop I live in fear of having to go anywhere in complete white. I just know I would get it grubby or spill something on me within five minutes!

My recent purchases are the red RL dress I linked a few pages back which arrived and I love it. Also after all the trench coat talk a bought this one

m.asos.com/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4548829
A cheapy but fits really well and is a good colour so am happy with it.

Got my eye on these as well as they are reduced

Sorry for the long links. For some reason can't shorten them on my phone Confused

Hi mary123 it took me a while to get my mojo back after babies as well. My youngest is 3 months and I feel I am getting there a lot quicker than with my first one.

shopafrolic · 16/03/2015 18:50

MynameisMary stick around. This thread has been a life saver for me. I've found my old self again :) Tell us more about you if you feel like it :)
Ellis I will be the one who wobbles on the sand and spills a cocktail down it I'm sure (or I'll sit in tar or something....)
Linus your parcel arrived here too. I will try on in the morning - it looks lovely (hope I fit it). Thanks

OneLittleLady · 16/03/2015 18:51

finally found an image of the playsuit i bought today. I've pinned it on my 2015 purchases board. i could only find two pictures of on the whole of the web!

shopafrolic · 16/03/2015 18:51

Double smileys - overly keen Grin

LinusDKD · 16/03/2015 18:57

Yay, well done International Postal Services!

Let us know what your DH thinks of the dress dry! Wink

How's your DS today shop?

MyNameIsMary welcome! Is started lurking here after DD was born and now, two years later, I am feeling much more confident about myself and my style and it's all thanks to these lovely ladies.

I ordered the Hush Catherine dress today. I loved mine from last year and this year's colour combo looks right up my street.

LinusDKD · 16/03/2015 18:59

hush dress

shopafrolic · 16/03/2015 19:18

I liked that LInus when I was looking around. I'm keeping this top and this tee from them.
DS seems better thanks. He only winced this evening when I dried his feet so I think we're over the worst. Funny how scary it was at the time - I'm useless...
Which dress did you send for Dry? I'm dying to know now!

shopafrolic · 16/03/2015 19:21

Linus Is the DVF you sent me on your Pin boards? I can't see it.....

OneLittleLady · 16/03/2015 19:22

that's a nice dress linus

Ugh, I've come down with something, again. my throat feels like i've been swallowing razor blades and I'm all achy and sore. It'll be stress related as I've been getting a bit overwhelmed by my work and stuff but nothing that won't pass. I'm currently sipping green tea with lemon and honey, wrapped up in my big chewbacca dressing gown

LinusDKD · 16/03/2015 19:28

Sorry, no shop as I bought the DvF in Singapore right before I was pregnant with DS so about 5 years ago.

I sent dry a sleeveless Me&Em dress in a kind of oxblood colour.

No parcel for you today one?

libertychick · 16/03/2015 19:41

Oh wondering if my parcel is with the neighbours????? Another lovely day here but rubbish WiFi - can't seem to open links.

shop glad to hear DS is feeling better. You are not useless. You don't suddenly get a medical qualification the day you give birth Smile

Welcome mynameismary

shopafrolic · 16/03/2015 19:57

Good point Lib puts scalpel away and sulks

QueenCardigan · 16/03/2015 20:05

shop you're not useless at all. I could be really calm with patients but with my dc I'm a wreck and can't seperate the nurses hat from the mummy hat. I've probably taken them far too much to GP/a&e.

one sorry to hear you're feeling unwell. Rest up.

mary stick around. As you've seen its great here.

So I worked out that my haul of jacket, cardi and 3 tops came to £147. Not bad really for what I got. But now I have the rest of the money burning a hole in my pocket. I certainly have enough summer going out tops now but could probably do with a couple of more daytime ones although there's no rush as it seems to have turned to winter again. If only I could find some round toed ankle tie shoes....

OneLittleLady · 16/03/2015 20:22

No linus no parcel but we often get things late in these flats. I wouldn't worry just yet Thanks

Mynameismary123 · 16/03/2015 21:04

Thank you for the warm welcome everyone, don't know how to do links yet I think this is only my third ever mumsnet post. Soooo I'm taking a leaf out of shops book and planning my holiday wardrobe for a change instead of throwing most of what I own in a suitcase. Think I'm nearly there just need some denim shorts. Spookily enough I ordered both of those hush tops this morning but I ordered the Orange in the first one! Got plenty of time as not going til May but I'm a bit like one I like to be organised.
My DD2 has just turned one DD1 is 15 eek like starting all over again! I live in the North West but quite a way (two hours) from Trafford Centre or Manchester centre from any decent shops and sometimes Internet shopping is just not the same as browsing and coming across a great find. Have done a mahoosive online clothes shop today so I'll update you on my purchases when they've arrived.

Drywhiteplease · 16/03/2015 21:14

Mary I have teens like you, but not a one year old.....kudos to you. I miss the babies though Sad
Shop so glad DS is getting better.

Just watched the worst film ever with DS (16) Pompeii with the gorgeous Kit Harrington Jon Snow in GoT loads of gladiators, blood and guts,sword fights etc....total rubbish, 16 yr old boy heaven we were cheering every time Kit survived and knicked ass......the things I do for my DCs enjoyed Kit as a Roman mind you .Wink

bettykt · 16/03/2015 21:20

Hello and welcome Mary looking forward to seeing your links

Am finally coming round to the idea that I may need some s/s clothing. Although I was wearing my coat and a scarf today as it was soon cold. I'm after a skirt but I don't know what I want until I see it Hmm tried last year to but one but all the midis were far too long on me.

Undecided90 · 17/03/2015 06:18

I was woken by the birds cheering at 5.30 so sat here looking glamorous in my pjs and bed head hair.

Welcomemynameismary

I am new here as well. At the moment I am confining myself to fantasy shopping as I am on a mission to lose weight. Having said that I consumed my own considerable weight in mothers day chocolates on Sunday so the weight loss maybe delayed.

Anyway, I am going to have a nosey on the Hush site as I seea few of you have mentioned it. I will link nothing I like .

I love the idea of planning the holiday wardrobe. I am going on a big holiday to the USA this year so will start a holiday board on Pinterest. I should , no I will say I will have lost my weight by then.

Undecided90 · 17/03/2015 06:19

I meant I will link anything I like, not nothing Grin

Undecided90 · 17/03/2015 06:21

And cheeping not cheering although cheering birds would be a good way to wake up. I really do need to read my post first.

OneLittleLady · 17/03/2015 06:21

Morning all

I'm in so much pain with my throat, I've been up since half twelve as I couldn't sleep through the pain of it. Hoping theres some drs appointments free today as I can barely talk, I can't eat and it hurts so so much just to swallow liquid Sad

undecided I'm off to the US next week! going to florida for two weeks, very exciting for me as I've never been abroad before

Undecided90 · 17/03/2015 07:04

lovely jacket

Undecided90 · 17/03/2015 07:06

Poor you onelittlelady I hope you feel better soon.

Florida sounds fabulous. We are going to orlando. I haven't been that far for 10 years. Normally just Europe.

Undecided90 · 17/03/2015 07:08

like these sandals although probably too flat for me

Right o, I must put the bins out and get going.
