God give the girl a break - she's only just got married!! Grin
Blair NEVER yes I am shouting NEVER watch OBEM before you have children. NEVER EVER. Ok?
Marsha I think I know how I may spend this morning - MiC marathon when I should be cleaning.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 22/04/2015 10:34

Hi all, a quick hello. No fashion news to report but Stokey yesterday I was also wearing a yellow t-shirt and hush harems Grin fashion twins, of the very casual kind.

Lib hope you are relaxing today.

QueenCardigan · 22/04/2015 10:53

Morning. Last nigh was better with little dd but big dd had a tantrum before going to bed. I really feel burnt out by her behaviour and have advice coming out of my ears but nothing seems to help.

Just got back from circuits so currently in gym gear. I might chop off the bottom of another pair of jeans as Im really like my other pair with the raw edge but they're dirty. I've decided im going to have a relaxing lazy day today. Feel a bit bad as dh is at work but the mood I,m in I need it.

Karbea · 22/04/2015 12:40

Morning all,

Tried the Boden order on this am. I'm going to keep the 3 tshirts although the orange one is very very luminous! Keeping the orange cardi, white shorts, white trousers, white shirt and the orange and white flared skirt. So I think I'm sorted, I do need new flats of some sort but I'll just make do now I think!

I think you can get an eternity once you've been married awhile, you don't have to have babies. I've watched obem a couple of times but it all looks too bl@@dy painful, but I guess big thing, small Hole... It's never going to be a walk in the park!

shopafrolic · 22/04/2015 13:33

Karbea glad you've found some bits that work.
QUeenC sounds like you're having a rough time - hope the work out eased the stress levels.
Marsha just caught up on MiC - what the hell is going on? It's gone all footballers wives!

QueenCardigan · 22/04/2015 13:41

Yay karbea that's great!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/04/2015 13:50

Hi all.

Linus nooo! We did touch on the topic last week, and DH is ready (he's 33) but he knows he has to wait for me. Sorry Grin

Karbea if I did get an eternity ring for a baby, my DM would definitely be a bit Hmm. She waited 25 years for hers! And I winced at "Big thing, small hole"!

Sympathies QueenC, hope it eases for you soon with DD.

shop I won't watch it again, never fear!

Uniqlo order arrived, I'm sure everything will be keepers unless the colours aren't right. Will try on later. At the moment I'm contemplating shorts, I need a soft pair for holidays not til August now, sob and found some nice ones at Dorothy Perkins, cotton and linen. Blue stripe, Cream stripe or navy, which to get?
Also POSTAPRIL gives free delivery which is handy, I like hunting down their non-MMF items in summer.

Cranagh · 22/04/2015 14:35

I'm still waiting for an eternity ring (I will be waiting an eternity, I'd say, ha!). I clean my rings with Fairy Liquid and an old children's toothbrush.

Liberty, that would be great. Would the same place we met last time suit you one morning?

I couldn't watch OBEM.

Good news on the Boden order, Karbea.

OOTD Rich & Skinny jeans, DVF jacket, white tee, R&B ballet flats, black AH bag for brunch with my friend and playground with DD. Bit breezy out there now, where is the sun?

Cranagh · 22/04/2015 14:37

Blair blue stripe gets my vote.

QueenCardigan · 22/04/2015 14:49

blair I like the navy or cream stripe!
Outfit sounds lovely cranagh. I'd lve to meet you before you leave but not sure I can fit in another trip to London anytime soon. I think any spare weekends will be taken up by dh going to pil.
I've got 2 eternity rings. I got one after dc1 but i didn't choose it and although I love it, it wasn't completely what I wanted. I then got another after dc3 which I chose as I wanted it to wear with engagement and wedding rings. I joke that I'm owed another for dc2 Grin
I can't watch obem. Going through it 3 times was enough,i certainly don't want to watch it!

Ellisisland · 22/04/2015 14:51

Afternoon all am back from Ireland. Survived both car journeys and had a great time.

You were all correct btw I wore the Lanvin dress to the wedding and it was the right choice. The other dress I was going to wear would have been way too casual. So thank you voguettes! Grin

Am going to read back to see what I have missed out on whilst away.

Oh and me and DH were asked if we wanted to be on OBEM when I was pregnant with DS. I laughed a lot and declined! There is no way I can watch that program let alone be on it !

shopafrolic · 22/04/2015 14:55

Welcome back Ellis glad you felt good in the Lanvin :)
Blair blue stripe or navy

justasecond · 22/04/2015 14:58

Never watched obem and have no plans to, I wonder who actually watches that sort of thing for entertainment Confused.A woman giving birth never sees whats going on down there for a good reason imo!
I like the navy shorts Blair
great outfit Cran love that jacket.
My ootd is whistles ecru skinnies, khaki drapey parka and thin long light grey jumper with R&B the club leopard flats. I love them so much I am scared they will wear out but they go with everything.
Love the sound of your Boden haul Karbea are you looking for ballet flats?
I bought this jumper new on ebay. It arrived today I love it, will go with lots I already have.

Drywhiteplease · 22/04/2015 15:27

I'm still in denial about having my dcs 14 years later, am the least natural childbirth mother around, anyone who wants to feel good about cs or bottle feeding needs to talk to me why anyone would want to watch OBEM is beyond me.
Eternity ring ...... Remember Guernsey summer 2013? Primed Dd (12 at the time).....Grin

Boiling today, I actually tooky cardigan off and AM NOT wearing a vest Shock Grin

Fedupnagging · 22/04/2015 15:33

Have just lost a really long post - soooo frustrating!

In a nutshell:
Lib deserved the wine yesterday and deserves to do well.

Love the dress Amber linked and prefer the navy colourway shorts Blair

Noted that Karbea seems to be getting sorted clothes wise which is great.

Lovely jumper Cranagh and love everyone's ootd.

Also noted that Novices' life atm seems v chaotic.

Pleased that Ellis'had a good time.

Sympathies again to Queen - have been there and you will get through it Flowers

I do have an eternity ring, never had my rings cleaned Blush and sometimes watch obem.

Phew!

MarshaBrady · 22/04/2015 15:35

I haven't ever watched OBEM and can't believe people go on it. How did they find you Ellis? Was it through a friend type thing.

Shop did you watch it? I like Jess, Lauren is mean.

Back later to catch up properly.

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 22/04/2015 16:38

I liked Jess - Lauren is hideous (new Kim and Kanye my arse) and Nicola should not have been let into Chelsea Grin

shopafrolic · 22/04/2015 16:41

Oh and just for the lurkers I did cleaning and food shopping and dog walking too. Just call me multitaskingShop

shopafrolic · 22/04/2015 16:41

Are you MNetting from work Marsha?

libertychick · 22/04/2015 16:55

Cranagh that would be great. I'll check diary and pm soon.

I love OBEM!! I cry every time. I don't get to see it much as DH hates it. No way would I go on it though.

karbea well done on getting holiday clothes sorted.

libertychick · 22/04/2015 16:58

And thanks again everyone for the exam wishes. I am not feeling good about it. Had a little cry today in the loo as I was so tired after it all, have a sore throat and it was so hard. Feel like I worked really hard and then haven't done myself justice. Oh well....

MarshaBrady · 22/04/2015 17:07

Oh Lib see how it is. I always find I crash after something big finishes. Always, and feel a bit low. Sending you hugs.

Shop a sneaky look on my phone. No way would I risk their comp! And ha ha at Nicola in Chelsea Grin

Ok post quickly

OP posts:
shopafrolic · 22/04/2015 17:18

Cranagh will definitely let you know when I am next in town (probably not till June as am growing my hair). Would be lovely to finally meet you before you leave :(

OneLittleLady · 22/04/2015 17:43

lib be kind to yourself. we all know how much i stressed and panicked over the exams i had earlier in the year and they turned out fine. Don't worry yourself over it right now, wait for the results and go from there Thanks also, ill let you know dates in a pm as soon as i have my travel booked Smile

so, some mean little person reported me for being out of class during lesson times today! Jokes on them though because I have express permission to leave the classroom at any time for up to ten minutes should I need to. Im trying not to feel annoyed by it, well, I am a little annoyed as the reporter didn't directly approach me and ask why i was out of class, they just went straight to my course leader which I feel is very over the top. If they'd asked me directly, I could have given them the truthful answer which they could have clarified afterwards should they have so desired to. Ugh

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/04/2015 19:30

lib don't worry, it's probably just the adrenaline rush/stress of the exam leaving your system, making you feel emotional and drained. Sorry I can't think of a way to express it better. I'm sure you've done better than you think Flowers

One that person ought to focus their energies on the course! How petty.

Still undecided on the shorts. But I am being good and returning the Sophie Hulme clutch (it doesn't go with many of my summer/cocktail dresses) and one of the Uniqlo shirts (the blue is a cool blue). The other Uniqlo things were all excellent, the red shirt is a perfect colour for me even I could see it, the navy stripe one feels v. current, the sleeveless one will be versatile and the bright blue one is such a nice colour, though it was tighter than I'd like across my bum Blush but as I will probably always tuck it in that doesn't matter.

Love your nutshell post fedup, it is so frustrating when you lose one.
