Blingy thank goodness

MarshaBrady · 06/12/2015 11:37

Dry good news on the Christmas decs

Which reminds me, I wanted to ask who has their tree up?

QueenCardi · 06/12/2015 13:15

Our tree is up. I left the kids in charge of decorating it whilst away. Now wondering how much I can redecorate it without them noticing Grin

Longislandicetee · 06/12/2015 13:58

QueenC i absolutely love some of those links, especially the dress you linked for me and the blue suede shoes. I am on a dress ban or else i would buy it in a heartbeatGrin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 06/12/2015 14:12

Happy birthday Karcheer! Flowers Cake The earrings sound beautiful. Hope you have a good time at Bicester.

Blingy thank goodness! Hope DH is appeased.

Our tree is not up yet... we shall see.

Great links QueenC, I love how you always put me in very bright things.

libertydoddle · 06/12/2015 14:24

Grrrr useless WiFi here. I can't open the links.

Happy birthday karcheer. Let us know what you get in Biscester.

dry I would love an Xmas pud now. Did you make your own or buy them?

How did you get on with frosty work colleague? DH and I are a bit perturbed by a couple here whose DDs have made friends with our DD, play together in the pool all day and yet both of them completely avoid eye contact with us. V weird. Confused

Just had a lovely evening in a trendy beach club. London prices in Thailand Shock but great music, food and wine. Nicely chilled drunk Smile

libertydoddle · 06/12/2015 14:26

blingy phew!

QueenCardi · 06/12/2015 14:38

Just catching up on strictly. They were a bit harsh to Anita. I loved her dance.

Longislandicetee · 06/12/2015 15:25

Drywhitethanks · 06/12/2015 17:01

Have just ordered this skirt although unable to find the sweater to match online Xmas Angry] and

Drywhitethanks · 06/12/2015 17:04

this skirt I'm going midi.

My tree went up yesterday.

Liberty I only make Christmas cake, think Sainsbury luxury pudding is excellent.

I may have bought a third Christmas jumper, it was reduced and quite tasteful

FedupNagging · 06/12/2015 18:11

Happy birthday Karcheer Looking forward to the Bicester links.

So pleased you had a lovely weekend Queen. Fab links - especially the bright pink Michael Kors knit, love it.

At least the invites are cheap (ish) and easy (ish) to replace if you don't locate them Blingy - every cloud and all that Grin

Lib am not at all Envy of your sunny hols Wink

We put up our tree yesterday afternoon - and then again this morning! We didn't secure it in the base properly - school boy error Blush so it toppled overnight.

Nice skirts Dry - how do you style a midi skirt? I know you're ahem small of stature like me but I find they make me look dumpy.

Drywhitethanks · 06/12/2015 18:25

May make me look dumpy when it gets here Fedup but whenever I've worn a longer skirt in the past I've always worn a very fitted top like the one in the picture. I was thinking with knee high boots but we will see.

FedupNagging · 06/12/2015 18:28

Oops, apologies for the emoticon overuse - here is some bag porn to make up for it:

Love this

And this - have no idea what 'ayers' is though

Gorgeous colour but made from python

Alexander McQueen

Sweet

Anyone?

This LKB bag may well be my next purchase. Like it in pink too. Although am still lusting after an oxblood bag but am waiting for the sales.

Back in the real world, I have christmas cards to write.

Karcheer · 06/12/2015 18:30

Evening all,

Don't get excited about Bicester because dh didn't feel well and although he wouldn't come home he put me off my game :/

I tried on this which I'm regretting not getting! it was quite boxy and I think it might have suited me better more shaped, also tried on a tan/camel blazer in Gucci put it looked very cheap in comparison.

VivaVegas · 06/12/2015 18:39

Happy birthday Karcheer.
Out all day doing family festive stuff which was lovely. No time to put decs or tree up yet but hope to get them up this week in the evening and the outside lights next weekend.
Has anyone got one of this twig type trees? I want one for one of our new rooms that wasn't here last year. As everything is so new and modern I fancy one of those and will put the proper tree in the lounge.
