Good to hear about everyone's nights out, mine are all done now and far too many lunches this week, I'll be waddling into the new year.
Hope those feeling under the weather start to feel better.
Love that jumper Stokey, my fave colour. I did well in the Hush sale last year so will look again once it starts.
Not seen anything I fancy in the sales so far but I don't really need anything and am carrying half a stone more than usual so need to shift that really, not until after Christmas obviously!
Work is quietening down now as colleagues and clients all start to go on holiday, I have a few days off around the long weekend so looking forward to a bit of relaxing and doing some more running as not had time for as much as I'd like lately.
Enjoy your Friday's everyone.

LinusLovesBretons · 18/12/2015 10:34

What an appropriate name for a jumper stokey! Grin

We're leaving soon to a place without WiFi Shock but I will have rejoined civilisation in time to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

Seriously, I am already panicking at the thought of not being able to check my e-mails every 5 minutes.

AmberNectarine · 18/12/2015 11:09

Urgh. I will be so glad not to be hungover one day. Basically went on a 14h bender yesterday - left office at 11, got home at 1.30am. Am spending morning on the sofa eating and watching Frasier to recuperate.

libertydoddle · 18/12/2015 11:52

QueenC I am really impressed with the M&S beauty calendar. I opened it all before I went on hols and brought lots of it with me. Really impressed with the Pixi glow tonic and all the hair products. The Josh Wood shampoo has been amazing on my frizz.

dry when you said your party I immediately thought it might be cheeky to say 'oh can I come' but now that shop and QueenC have ignored party invite etiquette..... Grin

stokey great jumper.

Hobbs coat won't arrive until Monday. I am hoping the JL order with the dresses ( and some last minute gifts) will arrive today.

So warm today I have abandoned my coat i foavour of a long Theory cashmere cardigan and an oversize scarf.

Drywhitethanks · 18/12/2015 12:20

My head is ok surprisingly , how you doing Amber?

MNV coach trip for my party Xmas Grin

Today's job is wrapping. I've emptied all cupboard etc of hidden purchases, my bedroom looks like santa'so grotto. I think I'll wrap with Bublé this afternoon, may even don a Santa hat to get into the spirit......and I may even go crazy and pour myself a Harvey's Xmas Grin dont I know how to have a great time?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/12/2015 12:46

Save me a seat on the Dry party coach!

Brew for hungover people.

My Atterley skirt arrived and I thought it looked massive, but it's not, and it's a keeper! Really happy to have 1 skirt that's A line instead of pencil Grin

Tonight is my only pre-Christmas social event - 2 friends from work are coming over to bring me all the parcels I've had delivered to the office in my absence I ordered them before I was off, oops!. We're going to eat party food and have a gossip.

Stokey great jumper, I like how they've styled it and leather leggings would look good too.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 18/12/2015 14:02

I am ill, again, as is traditional at the start of the holidays. throat feels like i'm swallowing glass. never mind, i'm sure it will have passed in a day or two.must get dp's presents wrapped in the next few days and then i'm all done and dusted

no shopping or fashion news here, the last of my free spending money went on vets fees for the cat, shes still not 100% herself but better than she was at least

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 18/12/2015 14:09

Oh One I hope it passes quickly and you feel better! I can't help but think that this mild weather has meant way more horrible bugs going around, without the cold to kill them off. Glad OneCat is improving too.

One's user name has just reminded me, has anyone got any plans to see Star Wars? We're hoping to see it between Christmas and New Year maybe.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 18/12/2015 14:19

we are definitely going to see star wars blair just not sure when, guess it depends when there are tickets available. I can't wait, I love love love star wars !!!

Thanks blair i'm sure i'll be fine in a couple of days, i always get ill in the holidays, it's like a tradition now! Yeah, oneCat is much better but still not all the way there, poor thing, she's still moping feeling sorry for herself and comes and bothers me when shes in pain, i have painkillers for her so she's at least letting me give them to her and not fighting me about them

KittyHello · 18/12/2015 17:28

One sorry to hear you're poorly again, hope you feel better soon.

Can I join the coach tour chez Dry we haven't met but you'll recognise me as a style twin Wink wants to hang out in the shed

Linus another style twin I love, love that APC shirt, it's sold out in my size, sobs, my own fault for not checking into MNV yesterday.

Great jumper Stokey

Blair glad the skirt is a winner, wish they did it in grey, have a lovely evening tonight with your friends, sounds as if you're starting to feel a bit better - excellent.

FedupNagging · 18/12/2015 17:40

I have a vision of One and Onecat lying under a blanket together looking very sorry for themselves Xmas Grin. Seriously though One, hope you feel better soon.

Amber, hope you're feeling more human by now - are you out again tonight? hardcore

I've had a slight prosecco induced headache all day - will try to stay off the grog tonight!

Linus have a good few days away - just drink your way through the lack of wifi and you'll be fine!

It will be great to have a catch up with your friends tonight Blair so have fun.

Waves back to Blingy

I have the same significant birthday a couple of months before you Dry so definitely think we need to arrange a MNV MU next autumn - nothing like planning ahead!

No fashion news whatsoever - not even looked at the sales yet, never mind make a purchase hangs head in shame and sidles off thread

shopafrolic · 18/12/2015 17:55

Linus a place with no wifi? Xmas Shock Where is this place?!
Off to local posh hotel for dinner with friends tonight - will wear the new All Saints dress, black opaques and black Sam Edelman Karen boots I think.
DH is currently asleep in bed Xmas Hmm - totally can't handle it - lightweight

AmberNectarine · 18/12/2015 18:28

Yeah I've rallied after a late morning pub trip. Home tonight (may have a few vinos though), out big style tomoz for my birthday.

KittyHello · 18/12/2015 21:00

In case I'm not on here tomorrow, happy birthday for tomorrow Amber I bet it's going to be messy Grin

Outfit sounds great Shop love that AS dress btw, can you work the pink SE boots in? Grin

Longislandicetee · 18/12/2015 23:13

Eveninhlg! On a traainb on way home. Escaping before the trains go mad. Our christmss lunch started at 2pm anf i haben on the champagne. I am wearing a christmas jumper.i was even told it was stylish Grin

libertydoddle · 18/12/2015 23:34

V sensible getting the train blingy Smile

Hobbs coat turned up today. I think it's a keeper. Will ponder for a day or two. Love it really but have to be sure....

I love the weekend before Christmas! Hope everyone has a good one!

Stokey · 19/12/2015 08:45

Happy Birthday Amber WineCake [fizz]
Have a great day.

I saw Star Wars last night Blair & One, it was great if a bit derivative, very similar to the original & no Phantom Menace thank God. Had a couple of shots of rum when I got home Xmas Grin Christmas spirits! Hope you're both getting better

But if anyone fancies a chick flick over Christmas, I also saw Sisters this week which was very funny.

Hope everyone had good nights. Big party here today but luckily the weather is mild so we can be outside. I was spray painting branches in the garden yesterday and am very tempted to spray paint something Christmassy on the back fence... Think I need to reel in my inner Banksy!

Stokey · 19/12/2015 08:48

Oh and I'm definitely up for a big birthday celebration next Autumn Fedup & Dry Xmas Wink

Drywhitethanks · 19/12/2015 09:28

Happy Birthday Amber you share it with my DD [satr] [fizz if we had one] Cake Wine Xmas Smile

Drywhitethanks · 19/12/2015 09:29
