Poor you QueenC, I was just thinking of you. I have been sick for the last 2 weeks and both weekends dh has just handled it in his stride. Just went downstairs and the kitchen as spotless. I know I don't cope as well when I have the kids alone. And you have 3. Don't be hard on yourself my lovely.

Amber, I laughed out loud when I saw your post on the expensive thread. If anyone could make a puffa look stylish, off course it would be you!

Lara I hadn't seen that Mulberry before, it looks like a PS1.

Lots of dresses that would be lovely for work but my self imposed work clothes ban is still holding strong.

Stunning Tom Ford dress QueenC - not sure my back is good enough!
Lovely roast dinner with NCT friends. Very relaxed.
Just wanted to let Blingy know I'm in matching Freya today Smile
Night all

I love the Tom Ford dress. I could so see myself wearing that. Dh and I need to go somewhere that I could wear that dress!

Love the red shoes too.

Topazandpearl · 16/01/2016 22:58

So you should Blingy!

I'll be there Amber.

Dreamqueen · 17/01/2016 08:09

QueenC I love the red shoes, thy're beautiful but oh so high & I'm on a self imposed high heel ban since breaking my little toe in the summer. I've embraced flats and to be honest I'm loving it. i might be dragging out my excuses as to why I don't wear heels.

libertydoddle · 17/01/2016 08:30

I can't find the MU list.... Blush Blush

From memory I think we have:

Me, Amber, Blair, Fedup, Topaz, Marsha, Sleep, Blingy and possibly Justa???

Stokey did you say you could fit in coming for an hour or two between other things?

One I think you were in originally but then realised you can't make it? Kitty I think you might be the same????

Mara, Shop, Dry and QueenC are all not able to come Sad

Many apologies to anyone I have forgotton. I'll book a table for 10 - can always change it if needed.

Let me know if anyone else wants to come - all v v welcome.

AmberNectarine · 17/01/2016 08:39

Oh good, some new people for me to meet Smile

Sad that some of my favourites can't make it though - next time!

I warn you all, I'm out on Friday night so I can't guarantee what state I'll be in. At any rate, I'll try not to let the side down by drinking an appropriate amount of fizz.

Had a call from to Chanel to say my bag has been fixed so will probably pick that up on Saturday. I have missed her.

No exciting plans today - taking DC to the cinema so DH can get on with some work.

libertydoddle · 17/01/2016 08:52

Stokey I feel bad putting you off the revenant - film choice is so personal. The cinematography was superb. It is quite 'arty' as Dry's DS said. Personally I felt it was trying to do too much - arty, dream scenes, lots of gore etc - trying to throw in a bit of 3 or 4 different genres and not quite pulling any of them off.

Karcheer · 17/01/2016 08:55

Morning all,
It's snowed here too!
Dh and I had a lovely dinner at Fera claridges, but I drank too much :(

I misunderstood the ten item challenge, I get it now, when are we starting and for how long?
I'd love to come to a meet, but w/e's are so hard, would definitely do a midweek if you ever arrange one.

Drywhitethanks · 17/01/2016 08:58

Just been out in my pjs to take pics. Grin now snuggled back in bed may stay here all day, I'm a wimp driving in snow

The TomFord dress is a clever design, love it but wouldn't be brave enough to wear it.
Love the Madewell top.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 17/01/2016 09:07

lib yes, I was originally in but unfortunately I can't leave oneCat just yet so can't make it Sad

It is so cold here right now, currently still in pjs with my hooded house cardigan on. the cardigan is nto stylish but it's super warm so just for wearing in the flat, it's fine. oneCat is currently curled up in her bed making little snoring sounds Smile

LinusLovesBretons · 17/01/2016 09:16

Morning! Snowing again here as well! The DC are beside themselves.

shop I agree, you need a good back for that TF dress. I do love it though.

I had a friend many years ago who had a stunning back and I always envied her ability to wear those tops with no back to go out partying.

I love that Marni dress as well, I think I pinned it on my S/S wishlist.

I'm still in my pj's as well drinking a cup of coffee whilst the DC try and play nicely together. So I've got about 5 minutes. Hmm

Drywhitethanks · 17/01/2016 09:40

Family sledging a trip....you're never too old Grin

shopafrolic · 17/01/2016 09:44

A good back and small boobs......
Morning all Grin
A little snow here - not settling on the roads. DS is v excited.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 17/01/2016 10:00

absolutely dry you are never ever too old for sledging, never!

how are you feeling now blingy? are you resting like you should be?

How are you managing queenC? be kind to yourself

QueenC · 17/01/2016 11:46

It's raining here.
Thanks for asking one, I'm doing ok. Relieved that dh is heading home today so I can sleep properly tonight. Hate being alone at night.
lib if anything changes and dh has to go back to his parents then I wont be going to dublin but as dm is around I could probably do a day trip to London instead.
Forgot to say yesterday that I picked up the dune boots and they're perfect. Not clumpy at all and look smart enough for work. Not sure I would have justified buying a full price pair of boots for for £39 I am v v pleased. Just need to wear them around the house before I walk to work in them.

I love the open back of the tom ford dress but you're buggered if you have boobs and need a bra.

Karcheer, how was Fera? DH's 40th this Saturday and it's one of the places I'm considering.

Karcheer · 17/01/2016 12:48

safety we really liked it! we had the full tasting menu and the rare wine matching. Food was yum and claridges has such a lovely feeling, think it would be wonderful for a birthday.

safetyzone · 17/01/2016 13:01

Thanks karcheer. It's there or Gymkhana at the moment, although Gymkhana is much harder to get into.
