Oh Shop that does sound stressful.

QueenC1 · 01/07/2016 12:45

Oh shop that sounds awful. How does he buy them? Online presumably? If so are there any controls you can put on the computer similar to what you'd use for kids? Sorry you're feeling so low Flowers. I'll join you with the lowness today. Ive booked a gp appt for next week to get myself sorted as im currently sat her in tears for no reason and surrounded by freddo wrappers

shopafrolic · 01/07/2016 14:16

Have been to reformer pilates and feel much better now (my friend forced me out of the house).
DF buys online - will have a look at controls but not sure how they work. Thanks
Hope you feel better QueenC - step away from the chocolate and get outside (even if it's raining). You've had a tough week. Go easy on yourself.

Ive no idea how controls work either shop but worth looking. I'm sure if you posted in chat or the tech/geeky topics that someone could advise. I did circuits this morning but wasn't really feeling it. Had to take stuff back to JL so had a mooch round. Linked this dress ages ago for shop and it's gorgeous. Decided to try it despite it being body con and a full length exposed zip and was suprised that I loved it. After I'd taken stuff back it technically only cost £10 if I use shops logic Grin. Have an event later in the year to wear it to and Dh text reply when I sent him a photo was "sexy"

MarshaBrady · 01/07/2016 19:15

QueenC so pleased you kept it. Perfecto

Shop I love that we are SO vogue that there's one thing stopping us from drinking together: PT Grin. He's not a golfing person, we stayed in a big golf resort in Portugal and didn't do any of it. Will see if I can think of a way.

Lib exciting about the DVF dress.

Mara I absolutely love those two NaP buys, good one! And the scene of me and Shop pool side Grin

I bought a Karcher powered window cleaner thing and ds is doing all the windows. I can recommend it for small to mid children

MarshaBrady · 01/07/2016 19:47

Stokey just saw your pm, that bell is just so unnoticeable compared with the old red dot!

Drywhitethanks · 01/07/2016 20:15

Just bought this clutch think it will be useful, have been looking for tan for ages.

Shop and Marsha holiday MU sounds fab.

Drywhitethanks · 01/07/2016 20:16

And, my goodness, how easy and quick it is to purchase from The Outnet once they have your info stored .......nightmare for the impulsive amongst us Hmm

QueenC1 · 01/07/2016 21:05

Lovely dry, love the perforated detailing.

Also tried this on. Lovely dress but just wrong shape for me. Think it needs someone more straight up and down.

Drywhitethanks · 01/07/2016 21:29

I saw that dress I store QueenC, loved the dark green, but agree about the shape . Not for me either

Everyonelovessparkles · 01/07/2016 21:39

Hope your lovely dress purchase made you feel a bit better queenc and yeah it was totally free Grin

shop that does sound stressful. Hope you manage to sort something out. Flowers

Nice clutch dry and looks pretty versatile.

My starry whistles dress has gone back as the 12 was just huge on me and the 10 is sold out. Another example of bonkers sizing Hmm

shopafrolic · 02/07/2016 08:15

Everyone Whistles does seem to come up big this season. The shirt I just bought is an 8 and I am a 12.
Marsha cut me and I bleed Vogue - you know that. Will look at a map. Maybe we can do some kind of day trip that is mid way between the two resorts. Will see.

Morning everyone!

I have been in MIA for a while through a combination of work travel and then Brexit. However, I did get the chance to go dancing a few days ago and had a fab time. The hangover yesterday less fab but I loved loved loved my outfit. Armani white silk vest top with the sparkliest black cardigan you can imagine (Dry should have been able to see me from ooop NorthSmile), also Armani and then very skinny black suede trousers that I bought for £10 in TK Maxx ages ago. All 3 bits were 3 years old but have never worn that combo before. My shoes were the red suede Aquazzura with a McQueen clutch. The shoes are comfy to dance in too. It's love I tell you Grin

I have a manic Saturday of tennis lessons, tennis tournament, birthday parties before the theatre with dh tonight. I hope everyone else's Saturday is more serene!!

Longislandicetee · 02/07/2016 08:32

Shop I meant to say that dh loved playing golf at that resort. Go for morning tee off though as your dh will melt otherwise!Envy

shopafrolic · 02/07/2016 09:29

DH isn't a golfer Blingy so we'll just watch others. Have a lovely day x

Drywhitethanks · 02/07/2016 10:35

Wow Blingy your outfit sounds fab. ..... Gosh and I thought it was the northern lights I saw the other night Grin

Think I'll try the bitch red shoes from hell again tonight as it's mostly a sitting do.

Trying to motivate myself to go for a run but it's raining and I really don't do rain.......but I have waterproof mascara on so I think I'll be ok.............

Drywhitethanks · 02/07/2016 10:36

Shop and QueenC how are you doing today?

Longislandicetee · 02/07/2016 11:30

Grin Dry. Well done you if you do go out. I got a back spasm thing a few weeks ago which meant I haven't exercised in about 3 weeks. I need to gee myself up to get back to getting out of bed at 6am.Hmm

Shop you're going to love your holiday so much. It will be good for you. Between you and Marsha you're making me want to book an August holiday.Envy

Today's outfit is all monochrome. black J crew matchsticks with black and white long sleeved breton top from Jigsaw (it's too big but was on saleBlush) and white denim jacket. I have got black sparkly (very!) Carvela ballet pumps on and my tan Chloe Paddington which has been neglected for a few weeks. Oh and my new underwear just for dh...and Shop.Wink

MarshaBrady · 02/07/2016 12:03

Blingly defo book one!

Shop me too, for sure

Am trying to decide what to wear to a Cambridge garden party. For the cold weather, but nice but won't get ruined on the grass.

QueenC1 · 02/07/2016 16:33

Still a bit low dry but out at a party later. Will be wraring black dress and hoping not to freeze too much!

Drywhitethanks · 02/07/2016 16:56

Such a great dress QueenC . Hopefully an dress/nice shoes/lippy and a fun party will lift things a bit.

I ran and managed to dodge the showers! 5k in 31min......running with 15yr old slave driver DD.
I'm supposed too be running in a 10k race why?why? on 24th. What the heck was I thinking? Have been in denial, haven't ever run more than 5 and just hoping a miracle will happen [SCARED FACE].....am planning to train a lot in the next few weeks......bloody hate running ESP since I live in a very hilly place.

Anyway, I'm out too tonight.........need to sort outfit. Am having a red nail moment, at least nails are done.

shopafrolic · 02/07/2016 17:36

Better today Dry thanks for asking.
School fete this morning, followed by lunch in St Albans and then drinks at a newly opened manor house gastro pub place. Great pub garden - anyone fancy a Herts MU with kids? Was lovely........
No style news. Am desperate to get my hair cut, eyebrows sorted etc but am holding out for holiday. Feeling messy.
Our dog had puppies so we are taking my DPs to see her (she is with her breeder) as a change of scenery for them tomorrow. Hope DF can walk the distance to get to her. We'll see.
Enjoy your night's out all x

I can feel a "what the hell am I going to wear" clothes flinging session coming on Grin this weather is rubbish..................

Everyonelovessparkles · 02/07/2016 19:46

Enjoy the party queen' that dress is lovely.

shop pub sounds lovely.

Well done on the run dry. I need to get an exercise regime started but am lacking any motivational drive. What did you decide to wear in the end?

Drywhitethanks · 03/07/2016 09:07

Last night I wore this top
Red Boden suede high heel gillie type shoes
Black MV skinnies
Reiss fitted blazer
MJ blck quilted clutch
