Really, I want this whole outfit!

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 14:53

Yes I'd love some of those, think Santa has some already.

Love the outfit!

AmberNectarine · 18/03/2015 15:09

I'm not really that obsessed with anything at the moment

maradesbois · 18/03/2015 16:38

Love the Duffy knit in that pic Cranagh

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 17:25

God I'm so annoyed over 15mm. And no one taking responsibility.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/03/2015 17:40

Oh dear Marsha what a pain Wine - is it the designer or fitters?

I'm off out to dinner tonight with DP, Dsis and her DP but I've had a stinking cold all week. Better now than in 4 weeks I guess!

Love the mini Marcie Cranagh, I guess they're especially popular this season because they really fit in with that 70s vibe (imagining it with flowy blouse, flares and platform sandals).

shopafrolic · 18/03/2015 17:44

That doesn't sound good Marsha :(
Get well soon Blair

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 17:44

Exactly! Each blaming the other. Plans say 50mm, designer say it's enough room, builder left 65mm and can't get fridge / freezer out. fuckers

So inclined to put blame on designers for shitty design atm. Of course they are saying our fitters wouldn't do that, people don't understand hand made kitchens yadda yadda

God I'm so cross. Someone needs to take responsibility. RANT

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 17:50

And it's always worse when you find these things out at night then you have a whole night to stew on it before you can do phone calls.

Blair definitely better now than in four weeks, hope you feel better soon.

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 18:08

Ok fitters have said they will help me out. God love em! Finally someone who is good enough to help, they said doesn't matter whose fault it is, but they will deal with it. Massive kudos to them.

Soz for all kitchen stuff! Dh is out again and I can only rant at him for so long on the phone.

shopafrolic · 18/03/2015 18:16

Awesome. Yay for fitters :)

Linus I LOVE the dress, so does DH Wink and even DS just said "Whoah that dress is cool mummy"
Thanks Thanks Thanks

So happy you like the dress shop! If they still made that style I would buy another one in a heartbeat!

You'll get a lot of wear out of it on your holiday as you can dress it up or down.

marsha that sucks! I hope it gets sorted out soon.

one how are you feeling? I hope you managed to rest!

Have fun tonight blair!

DH said I looked stylish today. Always nice to get a compliment. Wink

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 18:40

Which dress is it? Cheer me up with links!

Shop and Linus lovely to get compliments.

Karbea · 18/03/2015 19:06

cranagh I love my mini marcie and use it pretty much everyday! but I wish it was a tiny big larger. Mine is in the light greyish colour.

shopafrolic · 18/03/2015 19:07

Still feeling pretty awful tbh linus I should never have gone to class today despite me 'wanting to be brave' and not give in. I should have stayed at home in bed!

Fedupnagging · 18/03/2015 20:10

Think you need Wine Marsha and extra Brew for the fitters.

Love the waffle knit you linked Cranagh

Blair have a lovely evening and hope you feel better soon.

Struggling to find any beach/day dresses I like except the stripey nautical look ones and I already have 4!
this dress is lovely but I think is too ££ for the beach. Next had a couple of linen dresses which may have to do.

Started to watch The Good Wife last night and loving it - think I'm hooked so heading off to watch some more.

Drywhiteplease · 18/03/2015 20:46

Marsha I know how stressful building renovations can be.....all I can say is that things do get sorted and when it's all over and done you'll forget all the hassle.

One hard to feel sympathetic. Everyone said not to go in when you're feeling bad and infectious. Not a question of "being brave" more being sensible.

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 21:23

Thanks Dry good to know. And everyone Thanks

So the he's very helpful and has to come on his birthday which was meant to be off. Am considering getting a small cake but not sure if madness / overkill!

MarshaBrady · 18/03/2015 21:24

Or something else. He might not even like cake.

Drywhiteplease · 18/03/2015 21:30

All builders like cake Marsha

santamarianovella · 18/03/2015 21:48

I can't believe the DM compared George Osborne to Antonio banderas, Shock I feel I need to bleach my brains, its just like the time my mum pointed out that Daniel Craig looks like Vladimir Putin, and now I can't unsee it, it will drive me insane ,I love Antonio!

OneLittleLady · 18/03/2015 21:49

I know dry I don't expect sympathy. I keep being lectured by tutors for missing time as I've been ill a lot recently and they keep telling me I should be there unless I am completely unable to get out of bed and the other students on my course keep complaining about me having time off because 'they go in when they are ill'. I feel torn over it because it's like I can't win whatever I decide to do

OneLittleLady · 18/03/2015 22:21

as an embarrassing aside, I didn't, until today, know that tonsillitis was contagious. The few times I've had it, no one mentioned it, including the doctors, so I genuinely didn't know or I definitely wouldn't have gone in today Blush
