Hello all :)

Good news shop, when's it meant to all be done by?

Karcheer ugh sounds horrible, look after yourself and feel better soon.

How is the assignment going Mara? Love student discount!

Not sure if I missed something on her blog, but is WIT pregnant again?!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 03/12/2015 12:50

Oh and Lib remind me to never go where you are... I always get bitten to death too. Hope it gets better and that you're having a fab time despite the nasty bugs :)

Stokey · 03/12/2015 14:41

Avon skin so soft is apparently what the SAS use to fight off bugs Grin Probably too late for you poor Lib but keep it in mind next time. DH suffers and reckons it works.

I can't make January date either Mara. Maybe we could do a mini MU, weekday evening in town in Jan or Feb? If anyone's up for it, I'll try and organise. I find evenings a bit more doable diary wise.

Lovely sounding outfits today. I'm hopefully channelling rock chick: denim mini, black leggings & high tops, with navy jumper with black sequins & biker jacket.

Too depressed for words about Syria, can't believe we're back to bombing.

I know stokey. It just feels as if we're as bad as them.
blair yes, WIT is pregnant. Lots of people made comments on the wardrobe icons instagram feed so they confirmed it. I wondered ages ago as she's been looking a bit pale and peaky and going too heavy on the blusher.
Now wraring massimoto dutti navy/black jumper and slim straight jeans. Not the most exciting of outfits but out later (if I can keep awake) so will get changed into something slighly more glamorous.

justasecond · 03/12/2015 16:00

Poor Lib another one loved by mosquitoes here. They usually go for my face. I spent my entire honeymoon looking like the elephant woman. Thankfully there are no pics. It happened again on another holiday I honestly looked like an owl Blush
Hope you feel better soon karcheer
ood is boring but cosy. Grey skinnies, plum toast long jumper, biker boots and grey wrap coat with burgundy cashmere scarf.
I didn't know she was pregnant Blair but that pic is a giveaway.
Totally agree stokey Sad feel like a proper rant but I'll keep it off here.

libertydoddle · 03/12/2015 16:14

Still itching but antihistamines helping. Bastard mossies. Having a good time regardless but wearing the same pair of wide leg trousers to dinner every evening as (a) my legs look awful and (b) trying to protect my poor ankles!!!

Mara and stokey shame you can't make 23rd Jan. I'll email everyone and book venue when I get back.

Finished 4th holiday book today. So good having time to read.

OOTD shorts, swimsuit and kaftan (not trying to make you all Envy oh no!!!)

VivaVegas · 03/12/2015 16:34

Yes always use Avon Skin So Soft and it works! I get the odd bite but have always used/smothered it on the DC and they never get bitten, oil based so good for keeping moisturised too.

AmberNectarine · 03/12/2015 17:14

I never get bitten - I must taste disgusting!

FedupNagging · 03/12/2015 19:11

Ouch Lib. Mozzies not too keen on me but love dh and ds2 - a friend recommended Avon but I didn't believe her!

Karcheer hope you're feeling a bit better this evening.

Love the sound of your ootd Stokey

One really pleased dp is around for a while

Marsha and Dry - belated I know but sympathies re work situation also hope you get the passport situation sorted Marsha.

Queen I am happy to hear that you are enjoying your new job. I did some temping at a new place today and was one of the youngest probably the only one not collecting a pension. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming so am happy to keep going back.

Shop sounds like your kitchen is coming along. Is it driving you to distraction yet?

QueenCardi · 03/12/2015 19:34

party outfit anyone? Grin

LinusLovesBretons · 03/12/2015 19:42

I'll have two queencardi! Just in case one is in the wash and I urgently need a party outfit. Grin

karcheer I hope you feel better today.

Karcheer · 03/12/2015 20:06

I've been really brave and eaten two slices of toast... I'm waiting it see what happens...

Karcheer · 03/12/2015 20:10

What does Myleene think she looks like!
Incidentally my hair is the same as hers but blonde. Any tips on how to get it wavy like hers? The hairdresser did it with tongs. I was in two much pain this morning to do it.
Just back from the beauticians had brown sparkly nails and fake eyelashes done. I look hilarious as I'm all pale and Ill looking with glam eyes.

Drywhitethanks · 03/12/2015 20:10

More sedate outfit today, accessorised by flashing Rudolph brooch and his friend flashing Santa Grin
Shop hope dental stuff wasn't too bad I'm a total wimp in the dentist chair
Don't even want to think about Syria......Sad
Will it ever stop raining?

Drywhitethanks · 03/12/2015 20:13

My cleaner started today never had one and it was fantastic to get home to an immaculate home.....she plumps cushions way better than I do.

AmberNectarine · 03/12/2015 20:28

dry I may be having a certain cosmetic procedure tomorrow, ahem. Anything I need to know?

Drywhitethanks · 03/12/2015 21:35

You'll be fine I need a top up my main advice is do it before it's too late like me

VivaVegas · 03/12/2015 21:42

My cleaner comes on a Thursday Dry, love coming home from work when she's been!

FedupNagging · 03/12/2015 21:49

Obviously Mylene is subscribing to the 'less is more' philosophy Grin

Nails sound v glam Karcheer

Some lovely bits on the Anna sale with 40% off including Woolwich parkas........

VivaVegas · 04/12/2015 10:39

Is that a preview link or something Shop as can't see any parkas on the normal sale bit of the site?
Fancy a browse while I'm sat in a near deserted office, everyone starting to take Friday's off as usual in December!

shopafrolic · 04/12/2015 11:18

VivaVegas · 04/12/2015 11:52

LinusLovesBretons · 04/12/2015 13:28
