Marsha is it just you and I? Same names, still here - till the bitter end? Grin

OneLittleLady · 20/08/2015 18:46

shop i agree about the AW trends, especially the colours. this year hasn't been good for me in terms of styles and colours tbh, they just haven't been ones that will work for me. i'm trying to look more vintage repo style/alternative and maybe a bit pricier for me

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/08/2015 19:30

I'm here, and I've got a cringey story to lure back entertain you all.

So this morning, I knew the cleaners were coming, so I was tidying the house. I always remove all the bathroom towels to wash them so that it's easier for them to clean. Before I put the wash on, I shook the bath mat over the bath, as DH is a beast a bit hairy and I didn't want bits of hair and fluff in the washing machine. I didn't have time to rinse it as it was 8:30 so I left Blush

Unbeknownst to me, DH had put on the sleep talk recording app on the ipad, which was in the bedroom, before we left for work. Cue me getting home to a recording of the cleaners talking about how something should have been rinsed and "I mean, you know the cleaners are coming". It got worse, they were saying something about shaving and how "she must be so hairy she needs a hairbrush for it". Basically they thought I'd shaved my lady garden in the bath and not washed it away.

I'm mortified and I know I can't do anything about it either other than always rinse the bath :( and they will think I'm hairy and disgusting for ever more!
No my DH's body hair doesn't look like pubes, and I really don't understand why they would assume it was female hair at all when men are much more hairy in general?!?

Anyway I'm off to crawl into a hole and die.

shopafrolic · 20/08/2015 19:34

Grin Shock Blair
Am off out - wearing Splendid jumpsuit and Dune strappy black Cristinas..... red Jigsaw suede envelope clutch.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/08/2015 19:49

I really hope someone else can laugh because I can't yet! Grin

LinusLovesBretons · 20/08/2015 19:57

Ok, I'll bite. Grin

That must have been mortifying blair! Maybe you can casually let slip that you get a regular Brazilian wax in your next conversation. Smile

I really loved those Gap merino jumpers you linked and wanted to buy the navy one but the shipping costs were over £20 Shock

Seriously! They use Borderfree like Shopbop but I've never had to pay that much. So I didn't buy it. Sad

Karcheer · 20/08/2015 20:41

blair hahahahaha!!!! You poor thing!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/08/2015 20:43

Oh no Linus! That is rubbish. Do you have any plans to come over here soon? Or DH?

Funnily enough I am having my regular Brazilian tomorrow! Not sure how to slip that into conversation though, oh dear. DH keeps calling me hairy. Need that crying emoji!

Karcheer · 20/08/2015 20:44

shop how do you know you were one of the published ones?
I've changed my name, p/w and deleted pms.

Drywhitethanks · 20/08/2015 21:20

Evening all! Can't get rid of Dry. Have deleted all in box sent to go made me v sentimental and reminded me how much fun I've had on this thread and getting to know you all.
Blair poor you, how awful but funny .

onemightywizard · 20/08/2015 21:25

top marks to lush HQ who sent me out something new to try when i bemoaned to them the discontinuation of my favourite shower product, not just my favourite because it smells amazing but mainly because it clears my skin up which can be dreadful. what they sent me is nice but im going to have to use it for a while to know if it works in the same or a similar way to the discontinued one

MarshaBrady · 20/08/2015 21:27

Wtf? I am having a loo break and we've ordered more wine and I'm seeing posts about what? Is this what we've become, come back everyone! Grin

Drywhitethanks · 20/08/2015 21:29

Blair thanks for R the heads up onAp code. Have ordered merinos in black,burgundy and charcoal all on my A/W wish list so allowed Grin

Last day of my UK Staycation and I have to say it's been great and we have had outstanding weather.

Oh and GCSE results were great thanks to whoever asked. Hope with everyone else.

Drywhitethanks · 20/08/2015 21:30

Marsha what are you wearing? Do we get a loo shot? What are you drinking?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/08/2015 21:44

I'm sorry Marsha :( Grin

All these name changes are making my brain hurt... but One I like the idea of you as a wizard!

Dry yes they were on my wishlist too. Well done us!

libertydoddle · 20/08/2015 21:48

I'm here Marsha Grin

That's hilarious Blair (but your cleaners are bitchesShock)

Boden skirt is a return sadly, doesn't sit right on me at all.

Good stuff by Lush one

Drywhitethanks · 20/08/2015 21:59

But Blair will you try washing yours? I need washable.

FedupNagging · 20/08/2015 22:09

I'm here but not for long as exhausted.

Marsha and Shop hope you're having fun.

Blair Shock Blush. You'll laugh about this eventually like next year seriously, how rude are they?

Love the new name One

Linus love the Gap sweaters but am put off by the dry clean only instructions - I have form for shrinkage!

Dry well done to your ds.

Ootd was white skinny crops, blue 3/4s jumper and new blue loafers (will link tomorrow). We went out for an earyish meal so I decided not to change as we were running late but wished I had in the end. after several glasses of wine, I ceased to care!

MarshaBrady · 20/08/2015 22:13

Sorry I meant the lush post am I imaging things that's an advert right?! Grin

Am wearing work clothes as had an interview, want to move on.

Mwah ?another loo break>

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/08/2015 22:18

Dry I didn't check, I just wash all my merino on cold hand wash cycle in machine. Dry clean only sounds way OTT.

Marsha Grin I thought you might have meant me using the P word on Vogue!

Thanks everyone for the moral support. Still cringing here.

shopafrolic · 21/08/2015 00:21

Interview Marsha???

Too much rose. Very drunk. Back tomorrow when I can handle all the name changes.

Stokey · 21/08/2015 07:34

Morning all. Hope your heads aren't too bad Marsha and Shop. What did you end up wearing Shop? Interview sounds exciting Marsha, it did sound like you're heart wasn't really in the job. Maybe you can find something part time?

Cringe at your cleaners Blair but very funny. Mine barely speaks English so at least I wouldn't know if she's saying anything rude.

I'm going out tonight for DH's final 40th celebration. We've done house in the country with group of friends, pub dinner on the actual day for the two of us and now drinks with friends in the city. No idea what to Wear. Do you think the Office ghillies would work with a short skirt? I've only worn them with rolled up trousers so far.

LinusLovesBretons · 21/08/2015 07:48

Morning!

I hope the hangovers aren't too bad shop and marsha Grin

blair I have no plans to visit London this year unfortunately. Maybe I'll have a look in Paris when I'm there.

stokey I think they could work but it depends on your legs. Mine are too short for any kind of ropes around my ankles.

Well done Lush! I like a company with good CS one.

onemightywizard · 21/08/2015 08:36

they were really good linus I expected nothing when i emailed them so to be sent something new to try was a bonus i didn't expect at all. i really hope they bring the discontinued one back, even if it's only as a seasonal special, at least that way i'd be able to stock up on it. definitely some of the best CS i've ever had.

libertydoddle · 21/08/2015 08:42

Yes tell more about the interview Marsha. Lots of Brew for you and shop this morning.

So glad it's Friday. DH and DD are coming to meet me where I am working today for lunch so that will be good.

Anyone else having hair woes with this weather? So humid I just have constant really bad frizz.
