hello all

had a horrible day, my cat suddenly turned extremely aggressive and attacked both me and Dsis. it seems she (the cat) is ill rather than her suddenly becoming a monster so she's booked into the vets tomorrow but i had to go and be attended to as she bit me when i got between her and dsis to stop her hurting dsis. obviously, illness will excuse such behaviour, ive never ever seen her the way she was this morning so quickly pieced things together. Dsis has gone to family for christmas early so as to avoid further distressing the cat and also cutting the risk of her further becoming aggressive as she only turned when dsis came in after being out for the previous night. really hoping the vets get her sorted out as i'd be devastated to lose her

will hopefully get caught up on links tomorrow

love to all

Is it your birthday today Dry?

Happy birthday! Cake [fizz] have a wonderful day

Happy birthday dry and very well done mrdry!!! CakeFlowers

Two swollen eyes blingy!! Two! They have thankfully gone down today. I'm having some type of overall reaction to the bites, my lips and tongue were a bit swollen too. DH reckons we need an emergency kit for future hols in case I stop breathing!! He has just been out to get 95% feet spray as the 50% one I am drowning myself in is not cutting it. Sounds awful but tbh I am happy out sitting in the room, with the air con on reading the full set of Anne of Green Gables ultimate comfort reading and doing sticker books with DD.

libertydoddle · 08/12/2015 09:11

DEET not feet Grin

LinusLovesBretons · 08/12/2015 09:19

Happy birthday dry and well done MrDry!

karcheer the Aromatherapy Associates bathoils are gorgeous but £££. I especially like Deep Relax which sends me to sleep immediately.

Oh no one poor cat and poor you. I really hope it was a one off and she's back to her old self soon.

AmberNectarine · 08/12/2015 09:40

Oh no one, poor cat and poor you! My kitten is still a bit of a prick and will randomly launch himself at me but it is just play (I think!) and he never does it to the kids. He's great with them actually - yesterday DD climbed into a cardboard box with him and 'took him for a drive' - he had to play a character called Linda.

Happy birthday dry - gorgeous bag!

BerniceBobsHerHairAgain · 08/12/2015 10:14

Happy birthday Dry glad DH didn't go off piste.

One hope the vet is able to help.

Betty great minds - that is the blouse I ordered but in purple.

Stokey how about this Warehouse top for your skinnies and gilet outfit?

Stokey · 08/12/2015 14:19

Happy birthday Dry - that bag is gorgeous, well done MrDry.

& happy belated birthday Karcheer, funny how birthdays are all grouped together on here. There seem to be a lot of November/December ones - Sagittarians? - and another lot in the summer.

Thanks for the link Bernice, just what I'm looking for just not sure if it's long enough. I'm going to go shopping tomorrow and try & fit in a clothes shop along with finishing Christmas

I've also got a posh christening to go to on Saturday - it's in Mayfair with a big lunch after. The couple live abroad and are very designer, I've no idea what to wear. We're going on the tube & will have the kids with us so no heels, probably Pettys on my feet, but not sure what else. Can I wear a black suede button up mini-skirt to church? Hmm Or I could wear black silk midi dress I wore to MU in the summer, or DvF wrap dress although they feel a little off-trend at the moment. (sorry slight waffle there!)

AmberNectarine · 08/12/2015 15:45

Yes, my birthday next week too!

BerniceBobsHerHairAgain · 08/12/2015 16:00

Stokey I would go for silk midi - think it would look best with pettys.

FedupNagging · 08/12/2015 16:06

Happy birthday Dry Wine Cake. Gorgeous bag so extra brownie points for MrDry this year.

One hope the vet finds out what's up with Onecat - a bit distressing for you though.

Lib fingers crossed the extra strength potion works and gives you a respite from the little blighters.

Bernice That's a really nice warehouse top you linked for Stokey. I never think to look in that shop.

Thats also a lovely blouse from Tu - will definitely look out for the purple version. I noticed this jumper last week and was seriously tempted but then thought I might look like Val Doonican Xmas Grin

Drywhitethanks · 08/12/2015 17:00

Love this time of year..... Birthday bonkers on mnv. Have had lovely day so far. Out for dinner tonight Xmas Smile
Thanks for all the noir today wishes x

maradesbois · 08/12/2015 17:34

Happy Birthday *Dr

maradesbois · 08/12/2015 17:38

Oops! Start again

Grin at Linda

Happy Birthday Dry FlowersFlowers[champagne]. Love your new bag.

Karcheer JoLoves which is Jo Malone's new company is really nice.

Stokey I would think dvf wrap dres

maradesbois · 08/12/2015 17:40

Dress very appropriate for a christening. We had lunch in Mayfair at the weekend, Angela Hartnett Café Murano, was fab. Am definitely up for evening mu one night in jan or feb btw. Let's organise after Christmas.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 08/12/2015 19:11

Argh I'm late but Happy Birthday Dry!!! Cake Wine Star [fizz] What a gorgeous bag, so very you, well done MrDry! Xmas Smile

I too have found gems in Tu, lovely blouse Kitty and Bernice. Wearing some of their PJ bottoms right now Grin

One oh no, hopefully the vet has helped find out what's up with your poor cat today, she doesn't sound well at all. Hope you're ok too as it must have been a shock.

Lib I have all those books on my Kindle too, lovely but get very sad toward the end! Glad the swelling is better today.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 08/12/2015 19:26

Just clicked through and was browsing the Tu site and I think Blingy needs this Xmas Grin

Karcheer · 08/12/2015 20:35

Happy birthday dry
Oh one poor puss and you :(

mara I was thinking of Jo Loves but I'm unlikely to get to go to her shop,and don't know the scents, is the Pomelo the one to go for?

QueenC · 08/12/2015 21:51

Ha ha, that's definitely one for blingy!
stokey christening sounds lovely. I would go for silk dress too. Not sure that dvf would go with pettys
Love that warehouse blouse.
justa those furla bags are lovely just not quite right but not sure why Hmm
one how's onecat?
amber where on earth did he get Linda from? Really random name!!

Dd asked me tonight what a slag is. She read it in a Jacqueline Wilson book. Im wondering whether those books are now a bit old for her.

Had to go to a meeting today and it was near the Range and Dunelm Mill. Nipped in as ive never been in them before. Some seriously good homeware stuff. Need to go again when I have time to browse.
Wasn't happy with today's outfit as I put on barely black pop socks. Felt like an old lady. I won't be wearing those again!
