Oooo I love sober inappropriate Dry Grin
Have a well deserved and relaxing break Blingy
Garden centre and hospital visit today. Friend not family member this time. I need a loyalty card.
Not sure what to wear. Weather looks iffy here.....

Dreamqueen · 28/05/2016 08:56

Blingy hope you have a lovely time away.

I'm tempted by the Office red shoes but don't think I'd get enough wear out of the. I'm trying to put more thought in before buying new stuff. IE will I wear it enough or do I just like the idea of it. In reality my day to day look is very casual, mostly skinnies or culottes usually with trusty NB trainers in various colours. since breaking my toe, I struggle with shoes that are not 100% comfortable.

My other not very exciting purchase yesterday was a pack of those footsie things in nude and black with the silicone strip to stop them migrating under the foot. £7 for 5 pairs. tried them last night & was able to wear my R&B lafers without discomfort.

Drywhitethanks · 28/05/2016 09:16

Dream those footsie things are great.

FedupNagging · 28/05/2016 09:22

Amber those shoes are so mad!(in a love them sort of way) Please post a pic of you wearing them.

Blingy gorgeous shoes please give me fist dibs when you have a shoe & bag clear out Enjoy your much needed holiday after the week you've had.

Grin at Dry and your foot in mouth syndrome! Hope you feel more human soon.

Am meeting a friend for breakfast soon and out for a meal with friends this evening, currently debating what to wear!

Oh Dry that is funny, hope he wasn't too scared Grin yay for the loafers, I did think they looked uber similar. Can't you get to a zara to try the jacket? You can check store stock online. This is why I had to send my Dsis on a shopping mission after work...!

Dream I got some of those footsies before my holiday, they are fantastic, never knew they existed before.

Have a lovely relaxing half term break Blingy.

I'm off to the garden centre today too, DH is out with a friend to help him buy a motorbike. I need to replace all my plants that died in the heatwave while I was away.

AmberNectarine · 28/05/2016 12:15

I've had Selfridges, matches and HN codes. HN is the best at 40% but of course they don't have those shoes!

Topazandpearl · 28/05/2016 17:43

Great shoes amber and blingy. And exactly right for each of you.

Good news about DH shop, it must be a relief.

I had a big Whistles order, making use of the 20% discount. I didn't expect to keep it all, but it is ALL going back. I think I will have to hit the shops as I need to refresh my summer wardrobe.

Enjoy half term blingy and everyone.

I will be at home this week 'toilet-training' the dogs to use a particular section of the garden - about as far from MNV as it is possible to get!

AmberNectarine · 28/05/2016 18:15

Crystal Maze was legit. Will PM you with top tips tomorrow Stokey.

Dreamqueen · 28/05/2016 18:34

I'm finally back home after a great few days in town. I've been eating vegan except for lunches at Canton in Chinatown the vegan food was lovely. Ate at Manna and Mildreds.
Finally collected my hush sale order from my brothers. It's all graet for the summer. I only ever buy hush when it's on sale.

QueenC · 29/05/2016 07:26

That's so funny dry.
Hope everyone is enjoying the bh weekend. We've got friends to stay and last night was very drunken. I even puked when I went to bed. Haven't done that for years. Just been downstairs to get a drink, took one look at the bombsite of the kitchen and decided that I couldn't face it yet Grin

Morning! Vogue fell off the threads I'm on . Never again, need to catch up

Drywhitethanks · 29/05/2016 10:15

I've been defeated by a pair of shoes Sad......doesn't happen often but always with Boden shoes I'm hard and can cope with a lot of discomfort for the sake of a beautiful shoe vain but my beautiful red suede high high ghillie type Boden shoes thankfully bought in sale are total bitches and after 4 hours of standing in them totally killed me Sad.........goodbye red shoes Sad

Today will mostly be spent on the sofa watching Vikings before the arrival of more visitors ....

libertydoddle · 29/05/2016 10:34

Marsha how could you???? Shock

And Dry Shock Shock I agree btw - Boden shoes are absolute bastards. I have tried so many of them and returned them all.

MarshaBrady · 29/05/2016 11:06

Lib I know! I was in shock when I had 0 threads this morning Shock

Dry I've heard that before about Boden, grr for you

VivaVegas · 29/05/2016 11:09

Another here who over indulged last night, luckily everyone in the house seems happy just to be lounging around in pjs this morning!
Out again with DH tonight, can't remember the last time I went out 2 nights in a row! Recovery is a lot longer these days!
Went to Whistles yesterday and bought the black Lola dress.
Shop is that the one you bought? It's oversized so I had to size down, need to try again today but I think it will be quite useful for casual or dressed up. Looks very good with the new Sam Edelmans so I guess I'll have to keep those too! Also bought these [[https://www.marksandspencer.com/suede-cross-strap-sandals-with-insolia/p/p22437335?prevPage=
Black sandals]] which are much nicer irl and might scratch the block heel itch I seem to have but need to try with a few things.

VivaVegas · 29/05/2016 11:11

I've got quite a few Boden shoes and for me they are fine other than last years silver gillies which I really had to break in to get comfortable and even now they aren't great, it's really annoying when you really like them too.

AmberNectarine · 29/05/2016 11:17

Yes, I've had mixed results with Boden shoes too.

Had a few jars myself last night (1.5 bottles of prosecco, 4 double vodkas and a strawberry Daquiri, to be precise). Have woken up feeling entirely chipper - have I finally developed the heroic tolerance for alcohol I've been in training for all these years? Off to the pub now! (Actually am).

Dreamqueen · 29/05/2016 11:36

I fell pretty good too this morning after indulging in a few many drinks last night.

Out to lunch later. I need to knuckle down and lose some lbs before my looming holiday but life and meals out keep getting in the way.Going to cut all booze out from tomorrow & see if that has any effect.
