Herbs - don't sell everything - I love hearing about your coats Wink. The TK Maxx one seems great.

Crem - sorry I missed you - happy new year to you too.

Well said, crepusculars. I'm putting it back into the cupboard. I've got some hideous Berghaus, or similar, 'outdoor' jacket somewhere in the loft I can flog instead. Haven't worn that for about 15 years.

Auriga · 15/09/2015 20:13

Definitely keep the things you love Herbs, and the things you use regularly. But I admire your efficiency (and CV's) in the selling department. I had some notable successes in the past, including selling a car for DH and a kitchen. But the horror stories on MN put me off

I'm still a bit wistful about a little linen jacket I lost in the Lakes. Entirely my own fault, I put it beside me on the boat, forgot about it and it slipped into the drink. It probably didn't even suit me but I felt good in it Sad

BeachysFlipFlops · 15/09/2015 20:21

Are you testing the app too, Hatty? Smile

GiddyGiddyGoat · 15/09/2015 20:26

Was it Hatty's outpouring of feeling that persuaded you Herbs? Grin

herbaceous · 15/09/2015 20:29

Haha! While utterly stirring, her heartfelt pleas were actually being posted while I wrote mine...

MontserratCaballe · 15/09/2015 20:29

Belated happy new year and wonderful wishes for Cremo and Rose.

Congratulations to GGG and MrsS on their achievements. WineFlowers

BD, so sorry things are so miserable. Wish there was something we could do to make it better. Huge hugs and chin up FlowersFlowers

Auriga, I was very sad to hear about your family woes. Your poor sister.

Herbs, great news on the selling. And the party!

BTM, I would love to hear from you about K. When are you around? MI, I may be at Sid on Saturday if that is any good for you (although DH was rumbling about going instead and I doubt you would want coffee with him....) Will keep you posted.

Knackered here and it's only Tuesday. I need to get a grip as I have plenty to do. Still, the kids are in bed, there is a fish pie in the oven and I am contemplating Netflix in the absence of DH. Hurray.

I cranked my lardy arse into my small jeans (formerly known as just "my jeans") today. I have just about regained the feeling in my lower body having taken them off about 2 hours ago. Perhaps a small helping of fish pie beckons.

Later my lovelies.

hattymattie · 15/09/2015 21:03

OMG - screen froze so I pressed the button lots of times Blush.

I need to get the app though.

GiddyGiddyGoat · 15/09/2015 21:04

This thread is quite fun Grin
Jezza Corbyn, love him or hate him....

Lalsy · 15/09/2015 21:07

Grin at such eloquence.

I wish I could find nice coats like you do, Herbs. I tried on a lovely trenchy number last week and it made me look like a squashed comedy spy.

I wish collective crepey might could help with escape plans for you BD, and Crem. Please let us know if we can knot any sheets for you.

bigTillyMint · 15/09/2015 21:12

Monty, I'll PM you.

Spent the evening watching an emotional documentary on Netflix about adoption with DD and DS has just limped in having twisted his ankle at footy training.

Lalsy · 15/09/2015 21:14

BBC subtitles today called him Jeremy Cooper and Jeremy Harris Grin. Everyone says my predictive texting is bad.....

bigTillyMint · 15/09/2015 21:25

LalsyGrin at squashed comedy spy!

GiddyGiddyGoat · 15/09/2015 21:29

Inspector Gadget or Clousseau Lalsy?

MollyLair · 15/09/2015 21:41

That thread is v funny, GGG. Best post - straight in with:

"Hun yabu.

I'd refuse to do all that wank for the queen. Leach of British assets and as never had an opinion on anything."

Lalsy · 15/09/2015 21:43

Both. But more squashed.

motherinferior · 15/09/2015 21:58

Monty, isn't it a week Saturday? I may be doing the PTA tea stuff....

GiddyGiddyGoat · 15/09/2015 22:08

Lalsy, I bought this recently - with a 20% off code. It's very nice - and I don't think I look like a squashed spy...

Stropperella · 15/09/2015 22:20

Crepsters, I can come on the 26th! I have booked my train/bus tix (works on the line, naturally, so it will probably take me longer to get there than it will take Crem.

Pls, Herbs, I need hints about how best to flog the clothes I have grown out of via FB. Is it just your local Buy/Sell group that you use? Do you just put up a pic and a price? I usually donate all my stuff to charity shops, but the crunch point has arrived where I need to sell, sell, sell.

GiddyGiddyGoat · 15/09/2015 22:24

WoHoo Stropps! Very pleased you can come out to play.

Lalsy · 15/09/2015 22:32

Oooh Giddy, I like that too.

Stropps, fab [hope I can make it even if just for a drinky].

Blackduck · 15/09/2015 22:36

Oh yes Stropps mwah!!! Can't wait :)
(Can someone Pam early meet up time place - I will be down Friday night and can meet any time Saturday...)
