I'm going to Orlando too undecided two week disney passes as well so I get to see and do as much as we can fit in! I haven't even been to disneyland paris so I've no idea what to expect at all. The only down is that I have to have a wheelchair but it's not embarrassing or anything like that, I just wish i could get around by myself but to give me the best holiday we can, I need the chair Smile

LinusDKD · 17/03/2015 07:37

Poor you one! I hope you get to see a dr today!

OneLittleLady · 17/03/2015 07:43

Me too linus I can barely speak at all without an awful lot of pain and I can't swallow my tablets, I've tried twice and I can't them down as it hurts too much

shopafrolic · 17/03/2015 08:08

Morning all! Are GAP in financial difficulty? Two days before they ran their 30% promo they were already giving out 20% off instore if you gave them your email address. Now they have extended the 30% off by another day. They're getting a bit desperate aren't they?
Pilates class this morning so no OOTD to report. Have good days lovely Voguettes and special wave to Novice (where are you now? xx)

OneLittleLady · 17/03/2015 08:34

have got an appointment for this afternoon. Haven't gone to classes as I can barely speak and when I do it really really hurts, it made me cry to be ont he phone to the doctors

I don't know Shop but they do seem to be doing an awful lot of discounts, more than usual i think

bettykt · 17/03/2015 08:41

I was wondering that Shop constantly discounting and even when I went to Westfield a few weeks ago they were giving out scratch cards with discounts off certain items.

Was eyeing up these last night but decided again them.

Mynameismary123 · 17/03/2015 09:34

Morning everyone, Dry I don't know about you but in our house teens are harder work than the baby! Bettykt I'm liking the Boden sandals what a lovely colour that blue is. Set off on the school run at 8am in my comfy joggers after feeding DD2 we were heading off to playgroup I've now decided that's one of the things I was doing wrong and I've changed into a flowered dress, black opaques and black ankle boots with leather biker. Dressed for lunch with a friend after and the spring sun shine.

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2015 09:36

Morning everyone. I am deep in mm, jigs and routers and non standard sinks here. Who would have fixed it? The designers or the fitters? Who's right and who's wrong - so put them on the phone together. Slowing down the process.

Interesting re GAP not sure, but would be a big deal if so

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2015 09:37

And big welcome to MyNameisMary

OneLittleLady · 17/03/2015 09:41

linus, your parcel just arrived thank you so very much, everything is so lovely and smells really nice too Thanks Thanks you are very kind Thanks Thanks

MarshaBrady · 17/03/2015 09:43

Ujj glad you thought the same about Blue Jasmine. Cate Blanchett is so incredible in it and I love the clothes and NYC / Hamptons and all that. I really felt for her.

One hope you feel better soon.

Sorry not to comment on all posts, too many!

QueenCardigan · 17/03/2015 09:44

shop I've wondered that shout gap for a while especially after the Christmas sale when I bought that coat for £17. They were literally giving the stuff away. banana republic is the same. The jacket and cardi that I bought on Saturday were ridiculously cheap with the extra discount on top of sale price. I used to love gap and would rarely shop elsewhere. Now apart from jeans I rarely buy anything in there.

Oh great one! I hope it manages to make you forget the pain a bit! Wink

Let me know what you think when you've tried it on.

Only two parcels unaccounted for now, lib's and mara's

OneLittleLady · 17/03/2015 10:09

everything's fab fab fab linus the swimsuit is really lovely and will be going in my case. one more swimsuit won't hurt, will it?! OneCat has already tried biting the beads off the skirt so it's been hung up out of the way in the closed wardrobe where she can't get to it otherwise it could be a huge disaster!

bettykt · 17/03/2015 10:34

Mary whilst the blue sandals are lovely, I meant to link the leopard/tan ones, much more me, think I am the Bet Lynch of MNV Grin

OneLittleLady · 17/03/2015 10:41

linus I'm wearing the tee now with a midi length pink full skirt, 50's style and a white cardigan with pink hearts on it Thanks

AmberNectarine · 17/03/2015 10:43

Hello all

Bit of a busy weekend - Bristol was great QueenC, so much fun. Then went to a party on Saturday and got very drunk. Only just recovering now!

shop those shoes are gorgeous, glad you've ordered! Tell DH it's my fault.

Re. gap, no idea, but glad of the discounts as have just ordered a few bits for DH's birthday. Am also going to get him a Sonos, I think. Men are much harder to buy for IMO. I just send him my Pinterest wishlist board!

libertychick · 17/03/2015 10:45

I won't know about my parcel until Saturday Linus when I get home - don't stress about it - all my neighbours are good at taking things in, if no one was around I'll just have to pick up at the post office.

Morning all! Sorry to hear your throat is sore - I know Dry will agree with me here - gargle with TCP - it's horrible stuff but sore throats are powerless in the face of it.

Hope your kitchen gets sorted soon Marsha

Right, back to study for me, then down to the beach for lunch with DH and DD Smile

libertychick · 17/03/2015 11:02

And HOW could I forget???? Shock

Thanks Lib have oven, hob (but can't really use as worktop needs oiling first) and washing machine. No sink or taps. Have been keeping the bottled water industry alive. I bet you'll all miss the kitchen chat soon. Not really! Will be over soon soz

Happy St Patricks day to you! and everyone who celebrates Shamrock Shamrock

shopafrolic · 17/03/2015 11:20

Yes Happy St Patrick's Day Cranagh and Liberty (and anyone else I've missed)

Mynameismary123 · 17/03/2015 11:42

I love the leopard print ones too bettykt I am a huge fan and got my leopard sandal fix at christmas. Love a bit of Bet to liven up an outfit.
I went from shoulder length hair to a pixie cut on Saturday as part of getting me back together. I'll be getting some friends opinions at lunch today hope they are kind too me as I really like it.
One we went to Orlando in Feb 2013 we had an amazing time but it is very tiring fitting in all the parks and rides I hope you have some relaxing time scheduled into your plans.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 17/03/2015 12:18

Lib Cranagh and Topaz Shamrock

Wearing my new watch, I love it.

Lovely to hear about all the parcels, it's like MNV Xmas with Linus as Father Christmas! I have a few coming at the moment... hair accessories, earrings and bow ties.

Hello to mynameismary :)

BerniceBobsHerHair · 17/03/2015 12:34

Ah Lib shame you have to study on holiday. Shamrock to you.

Betty I think you are the Bet of MNV! I keep seeing leopard bits pass by on pin. I love leopard too but don't wear it so much as I am a winter according to HOC. I do still like leopard accessories. Have you seen these shoes I am quite keen on them.

I have been considering these but not sure if skate shoes are a bit over.

Loving the clothes swapping going on.

Shop not sure about Gap - I never really shop there that must be why their profits are falling

How are you feeling One - have you managed to see a GP? Not long to go til your hols, how exciting.

I had forgotten you have the sparkly mary janes, I can see that they would work really well in your wardrobe. I am not sure about them in mine - need to give them an outing when the weather gets warmer. Will try with jeans and dark blouse, thanks Ujj

Marsha hope your kitchen is sorted soon.

My outnet order arrived and is all going back.

I obviously didn't read the small print when I ordered this jumper as I thought it was cashmere, not a cotton cashmere mix. it is quite a chunky knit and they don't suit me. Nice jumper though.

J Brand jeans - can't find to pin, the fabric was v thin and there was A LOT of distressing - I almost put my foot through one bit when trying them on.

This fur scarf was nice but I couldn't see myself wearing it much, it was a bit fussy.

And welcome to mynameis - what tips and finds have you got from this thread .

BerniceBobsHerHair · 17/03/2015 12:36

Cross post.

Shamrock to Cranagh and Topaz too.
