That's a good idea dry. She is going mad on crafts ATM which is lovely so see her so absorbed in it she danced with joy when DH bought her a new glue stick the other day but the masses of cereal boxes with stickers and glitter on them is a bit trying Smile

QueenCardigan · 31/07/2015 21:34

Ha ha lib , when they find things in the recycling and you say oh, I wonder how that got in there by mistake Grin
betty I'm only reading lots as on hols. I'm usually pretty rubbish at reading despite being in a book club. I findbif I get into a book I can't put it down so find it hard to read before bed.
vegas it's probably a little cooler than 30 here right now but it has been pretty hot today. Rain forecast for tomorrow so we shall see..ll
dry love to ds. How's he doing in himself?

libertychick · 31/07/2015 21:35

dry sorry I missed that DS needs another op. Hope all goes well. Poor chap Sad

Drywhiteplease · 31/07/2015 22:05

QueenC he's doing well. Family room filled with teenagers visiting. Lots of Moral support which is great. I'm exhausted tbh.....thank goodness I'm on hols, but am waiting for a day when I have nothing to do...............

shopafrolic · 31/07/2015 22:36

Back from date night with the hubster. It's good to talk without the constant interruptions of a 4 year old. Realised I do still quite like him! Such a relief Grin
Wore Ganni bodycon striped dress and red Office ghillie sandals with Ah red Gracie.
Dry hope all goes ok for DS
Novice thinking of you
Cranagh loving all the pics on FB - looks as though everyone is settling in Smile

Thanks ShopThanks

Dry hope it all goes well for your poor ds today.

Yesterday was a crap day because my mind was elsewhere and I was doing my tax return. On top of that I have a bank account with a significant sum in it, and I can't find any of the paperwork for it. It's vanished into thin air.Shock

On the much brighter side.....We go on hols today. Leave in a few hours, just going to do final face mask, de fuzz and nails.Smile

Drywhiteplease · 01/08/2015 08:31

Voguettes, you are now familiar with the fashion problems I have with Dh Confused here is the latest gem prepare to weep

Returning from trip abroad, feeling guilty about dodgy present from US and the fact that I've been holding the fort recently, DH calls me from Terminal 5

"What's the bag you want?"

Very quickly send link and also Hermes wrap bracelet "just Incase"
No bloody Longchamp and Hermes bracelet SOLD OUT Sad Sad Sad
When he got home
"It's a bit pricey for a bit of leather and a buckle"

know where my first pay will go

bettykt · 01/08/2015 11:01

Dry all the best for ds and his op today Flowers and Wine

Novice have a great holiday

libertychick · 01/08/2015 12:14

Grrrrrrt how annoying dry.

AmberNectarine · 01/08/2015 14:10

Date night last night here too shop. Cocktails, Karaoke, tapas and a club. Was great fun - wore a grey vest, gap white ripped skinnies, snake print DVF heels, gold body chain harness thing and black all saints blazer. DH approved greatly - I got the generous compliment of 'you've got a tidy body these days' Hmm

Went shopping with my mum this morning - got loads for the kids (inc 4 pairs of shoes) but nothing for me

Hope DS' op goes well dry and that you get some rest soon!

Bon voyage novice, have a lovely trip!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 01/08/2015 14:51

That's hilarious Amber!

Went out for breakfast with DH today followed by popping to John Lewis. I am wearing Topshop denim mini with a cropped blue turtleneck jumper from Brandy Melville (teen shop on Kings Rd). He took one look at me and burst out laughing and told me that I looked like I came from 1996. Voguettes, I did not get changed Grin

novice have a lovely holiday!

Dry that's just typical, are either of you going to get to an airport again soon?

BrandyAlexander · 01/08/2015 14:59

Your date nights sound fab!

is Mr Dry alive?Grin Shock

currently on tarmac waiting to take off. dh in a foul mood as we are not flying our usual BA club.Grin

I spent last night trying not to throttle dh because I think he's accidentally chucked all the documentation proving I am the owner of a bank account. This is one with a lot of money in it. happy holidaysHmm

BrandyAlexander · 01/08/2015 15:01

God I am getting old, I forgot I had moaned about the bank account already!Grin Grin Grin Think I need this holiday!Grin

Drywhiteplease · 01/08/2015 17:20

Blair DH travels a lot so can try again, although I'm not sure it's cheaper there anyway.

Op postponed until tomorrow.

I am not in the least bit chic today having cleaned windows,sills and frames for hours.......how dirty do windows get Shock and you just can't see it perhaps no point doing it then prosecco ready in fridge.Grin

QueenCardigan · 01/08/2015 18:01

I've been wearing a bikini all day Smile.
We're now in our second villa for our second week and it's bloody lush. Fairly secluded although we can see our naked neighbours by their poolside. We've been zooming in with the camera to see if they're actually having sex Grin. They're not thank goodness as I wouldn't actually want to see that

shopafrolic · 01/08/2015 18:35

Novice glad tax return all sorted now
Dry LOL at your DH - he's not winning at the moment is he? Grin
Amber loved your accessorising on FB - your date night looked a lot more raucous than mine - although it was lovely to get to talk to DH without any interruptions for a change. Good use of the word tidy too by your DH!
Marsha how are you doing lovely? I was looking at pics of your fave place on Instagram the other day and thinking of you
Loving all the holiday pics I keep seeing.
Linus how are you doing?
Blair made me smile that you now do DH posts (keep forgetting you are married). Boo hiss re: the comments though and kudos for wearing a crop top
Wearing the GAP skinnies you all suggested but I have bought the wrong size (they seem to stretch with wear) and these are way too big.... Annoying.

Quiet tonight. Dry did my parcel reach you?

MarshaBrady · 02/08/2015 08:06

Morning.

Shop big wave I'm good and bit bleurgh, think a change of scenery next week will be good.

Novice have a great holiday.

Blair sounds good to me, also of impressed your Dh was aware of 90s fashion back then.

I suppose AW buying will be happening soon, but of a lull atm.

Drywhiteplease · 02/08/2015 09:14

Shop I did and texted you. Have now bombarded you with messages to apologise and thank you Flowers

Thinking about a capsule wardrobe snort for my UK holiday, I think I obviously need a new breton or two. Has anyone got the Boden one, if so how do they come up and does anyone have a code?

Thank you

Drywhiteplease · 02/08/2015 09:16

this one....but which colour Confused

MarshaBrady · 02/08/2015 09:45

Dry my choice is the black and white traditional one. No code, but someone else might.

Drywhiteplease · 02/08/2015 09:55

Yes M that would be a great basic. I might get the pale BLE aswell, feels summery. My red could do with replacing, but they don't do red Confused........am liking the grey too Hmm

bettykt · 02/08/2015 10:32

Dry I have grey/white, white/yellow and yellow/ white. They fit true to size but the arms are rather tight, and I don't have fat arms!

Look at the Johnnie B boat neck t- shirts, if I'm honest I prefer my boxy one from there. I got an age 16 last year when I was a bit bigger but think I'd probably order age 14.

For a code go to the Money section at the top of the page and click on promotional code and you'll be sure to find an up to date discount code lurking on the Boden section.

shopafrolic · 02/08/2015 10:54

Novice happy holidays
Marsha not long now. Much needed - can't remember where you're going now....
DH has got man flu. Coughing and spluttering everywhere poor guy - I am trying to avoid.
No real fashion news to report. Have a pile of ironing to do before I can get back to wearing my favourite bits!
Off to a dog show today in a local village so doubt the style stakes will be high.
Hope DS is improving Dry?

Fedupnagging · 02/08/2015 11:16

Morning all, back from holiday and tan is already fading. We had a fab time though - I think Dh and I needed that time on our own together just to kick back, relax, chat and um, other stuff Blush sans interruptions.

Dry best wishes to your ds; hope he makes a swift recovery. Sounds like he has some nice friends. Re the Boden breton, I tried a couple but didn't like them on me. Like Betty i think I prefer a more boxy shape.

Shop am so pleased the culprit has been found.

Blair Grin at your dh. Do you have another week of jury service?

Novice have a fab holiday - hope the flight wasn't too painful!

Queen your villa sounds great not so sure about the naked neighbours though

Cranagh glad the move is going well.

Marsha I think you go away soon?

I popped into Massimo Dutti before we came home to try on some blue loafers I saw online but they didn't have them in stock and now I cant find them online either. I did however purchase
This jumper which looks way nicer in rl.

I'm still not quite ready to think about A/W but am about to order the Mih breton Topaz sent back.

Have a good day everyone
