Thanks mara! :) I'm feeling this week than I expected, which is a relief. Having to wait til Tuesday to see doc for results is a pain but I'll cope!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 25/11/2015 20:49

Better this week...

Hi all, sorry have not been able to post for the last few days, DD2 had a chest infection and required constant resettling in the evening.

Just want to mention if there are any star pattern lovers, there's this on the Outnet now, which I really like.

Has anyone here been to Hedone, Gymkhana or Fera in London for dinner? Looking at options for DH's birthday...

Theweek · 25/11/2015 21:10

A daily lurker... Love reading these threads!
(Owner of 3 Zarita dresses also)
Just wondering if anyone has a J Crew code? Thanks Smile

Drywhitethanks · 25/11/2015 21:43

This is weird considering we have very different styles, but Amber I actually really love the new bag but then I do love gold . I'd really love to be bolder with statement bags like you, I really love your bright R and B bag you wore with your all black outfit at this summer's MU, looked fab.

TheWeek what colours do you have in the Zarita?

Shop its temporary and will be so worth it when it's all beautiful and done Smile

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 25/11/2015 22:06

Hello Theweek :) I always try THANKME and THANKYOU which give something off and free delivery... think they usually work.

Karcheer · 25/11/2015 22:17

Yes it's US sizing :( I'll have to see what they have in another colour now.

Karcheer · 25/11/2015 22:31

I've ordered the us size 4 which may be a bit big, but mix thinking I could get it altered. I've big boobs so I think I might need the extra fabric there anyway, we will see...

VivaVegas · 25/11/2015 23:01

Dry it's a major juggling act and one that I get seriously fed up with doing periodically (like now, can you tell!), I just never have the time to do everything I want/need to do. In an ideal world I'd work a 4 day week but my employers won't entertain it, have tried several times and been refused. But yes a cleaner really helps, as does online grocery shopping and doing as little ironing as possible!

shopafrolic · 26/11/2015 07:05

Mara I'm off to the Lego store next week if you need me to look there for you.....

maradesbois · 26/11/2015 08:43

Morning!

Thanks Shop but have Argos vouchers (so non-Vogue Grin) & really want to get from there if possible. Of the 2 things I want one, the haunted house, just came back into stock. What is your ds hoping for? Love Lego, keeps them entertained for hours!

Safety haven't been to any of those but buy Hedone bread which is amazing so would imagine it's fab.

libertydoddle · 26/11/2015 09:20

Ha making sure you use your Argos vouchers is your northern roots coming through Mara Grin

Love that sweater safety. I haven't been to any of those restaurants so can't help.

Welcome theweek 3 Zaritas!

Love these slightly damp cold mornings. Makes the London air feel clean.

OOTD is caramel and navy patterned short dress, navy uniqlo v neck Cardigan, black opaques, black Dune brogues. Olive gauzy knit wool/cashmere blend scarf from Powder Cashmere (love, love this scarf. So soft) and shop's brick red See by Chloe peacoat.

Hope there is good progress w kitchen today shop. When will you have your sink back?

QueenCardi · 26/11/2015 10:30

It's nice to be back in jeans again today. And even nicer to relax with a cup of tea and you guys Smile
shop it'll all be worth it. Just get disposable stuff. We had about 3 weeks without a kitchen and I was pregnant at the time and after a few days of washing up in the bath I got sick of it. Do you shop with ocado? They have really nice tubs of microwave meals.
mara ive got to trek across town today or tomorrow to pick up an Argos order of lego myself. Because of the 3 for 2 offer last weekend they sold out of loads of stuff for home delivery but managed to locate what I wanted across town.

I've been searching backpacks. I'm in love with the proenza, Bottega Veneta or wang. Like that's going to happen Grin

QueenCardi · 26/11/2015 10:32

proenza

QueenCardi · 26/11/2015 10:39

bv

QueenCardi · 26/11/2015 10:40

wang

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 26/11/2015 10:59

love the wang backpack QueenC

Shop hope all is going to plan with the kitchen and it's finished soon!

I am so so tired, only got about 3 hours last night. really going to have to speak to my nurse about potentially getting something different to help me sleep (the last sedatives i was put on made my sleepwalking 100 times worse and i was injuring myself!) as i'm really struggling to get more than two or three hours a night and its just not sustainable

OOTD is mid blue ripped knee skinnies, grey short ugg boots, a grey star wars tee and a black ribbed boyfriend cardigan. will add long grey wool and cashmere coat, purple scarf and grey wool hat when i go out shortly, oh and the ever present tartan backpack

AmberNectarine · 26/11/2015 11:08

Failing to stay strong in the face of discounts I have ordered a Marant skirt from NaP and a red tulle number from asos.

shopafrolic · 26/11/2015 12:52

Ocado delivery stuffed full of ready meals just arrived :)
Mara I have just spent the morning in Argos and ToysRUs. DS asked for a Super Mario remote control car and Paw patrol stuff but the Paw Patrol stuff is out of stock EVERYWHERE. Angry

Drywhitethanks · 26/11/2015 16:22

I miss toy buying. So boring now. Money, vouchers, clothes.... Not as exciting on Christmas morning

Drywhitethanks · 26/11/2015 16:23

Unless it's for me

Drywhitethanks · 26/11/2015 16:24

As long as she hasn't gone off piste of course

Drywhitethanks · 26/11/2015 16:24

She=DH Confused

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 26/11/2015 16:43

are you worried this year Dry or have you been very specific with ideas?
Dp gets it right usually, he is good at buying for people when he gets himself going and actually starts buying. he is terrible for leaving it til the last minute and then running round like a headless chicken on christmas eve!

QueenCardi · 26/11/2015 17:12

shop saw some paw patrol on ocado.
amber I think we should ban you from buying anything else until everything in your wardrobe has been worn at least once Grin
