Oh that's a good idea shop re going to your local salon. And yy to an August MU. I'm around most of the month.

Everyonelovessparkles · 06/07/2016 20:53

lib I know what you mean about it being a long week, can't believe it's only Wednesday.

Glad you're pleased with your hair cut mara.

AmberNectarine · 06/07/2016 20:57

I'm around early Aug - 14th, but not much after. In Lon between 22-24 and 26-28, I think.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 06/07/2016 21:12

August sounds good, I'm around until my birthday (18th). This needs to be the joint big birthdays meet up!

Thanks QueenC and Amber, I ended up doing a variation of Everyone's idea (though I hadn't seen your post!) and looking at this page to get an idea of size. I don't have a printer :( but I've gone for the bigger one as I now realise 24mm is very small. I don't want the face to look too crowded.

Stokey · 06/07/2016 21:42

Sad to miss the mini MU last night & Mara's new hair.

DH is still in hospital although slowly improving. Life feels very up in the air. I have two things I'm meant to be going to next week that I doubt I'll make & have cancelled a small party for my birthday. Sorry bit self-pitying. I need to buy something in the sales to make myself feel better!

We're away 5-20th August provided Dh has recovered sufficiently but in London apart from that.

libertydoddle · 06/07/2016 21:52

Justified self pity Stokey. Flowers for you. I hope DH recovers soon.

My birthday this month too. Must give DH some hints a detailed list more like

Drywhitethanks · 06/07/2016 21:55

End of August best for me...away same time as Stokey

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2016 22:17

Yes I would love a summer MU! I'm good after we're back, so mid to end of Aug.

MarshaBrady · 06/07/2016 22:19

Ah Lib hugs for you re the assembly, pleased your dh will be there though

Mara, Sleep and Lib glad you had a wonderful time, wish I could have been there too

Stokey hugs for you too, sounds difficult.

I don't treat my bags well enough, I should do, I use them all the time

Happy Birthday Mara Flowers Cake Wine what did you get??? Grin

Happy Birthday Mara Cake Wine

Well it was my last day at work yesterday, lovely team lunch, was given a bottle of champagne and loads of HoF vouchers. Quite emotional, had a little cry as I was leaving.. But I am happy Grin

DH took me out for dinner last night to celebrate. Just pub dinner and we watched some of the tennis and the Wales game.

Off to get ready to head through to Glasgow for dinner then Beyoncé concert.. Whatever I wear it'll be practical and warm, it's a bit mixed weather-wise up here..

Have a good day folks!

Everyonelovessparkles · 07/07/2016 15:04

Happy birthday mara hope you got lots of nice things! Cake Wine

Enjoy the concert happy.

I'm off out tonight for a friends birthday, just something low key, but will be nice to enjoy some prosecco in the sun Grin

shopafrolic · 07/07/2016 15:59

Congrats Happy always lovely when you know you have done the right thing :)
Wearing this dress today with Stans. Feels crisp and clean and good. So nice to have some sunshine.

Stokey I keep thinking I've posted and then realise I haven't
So sorry to ear your DH is unwell. Tough trying to sort things when one of you is out of action. Hope he improves swiftly and isn't in hospital too much longer. Wine for you xx

Happy birthday Mara! Cake Flowers hope you're having a lovely day!

Happy have a great night. Glad you made the right choice and had a nice last day.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick "hello" from me - enjoying the thread and the clothes inspiration.

Happy birthday Mara - hope you have a grand day.

Love that dress shopafrolic!.

I'm losing baby weight...a bit slowly! - but getting there. So trying not to buy too much at the moment. Did just get this though www.phase-eight.com/fcp/product/phase-eight/sale-dresses/valencia-print-dress/203056000 - thought it was a 'normous bargain!. Have a couple of nights out and a party coming up and have to have a couple of bits that fit now without me feeling like Shrek....

Anyway - great thread and enjoy the evening everyone.

shopafrolic · 07/07/2016 17:21

Hi peachlife and welcome :)
That's a very pretty dress - gorgeous print and yes, bargainous! Losing the baby weight is hard. Stick around, it's nice here.........
Can someone buy these please? I love them but have nowhere to wear them - much like that pink TS blazer of Amber's. I keep looking at how fab it is but not sure when I'd wear it. It could become like the pink SE boots which I still haven't worn........

peachlife · 07/07/2016 17:41

Thankyou very much shop - I will - really enjoying the style inspiration already....and when back wearing "normal" clothes - will be great to share an outfit or two and avoid glazed over eyes from DP.

Those shoes are fantastic!....especially like them in plum. Not for me though....as well as not having anywhere to wear them to, my neck would be in imminent danger after a mere sniff of wine. I am not the greatest balancer in heels - nude wedgies (if you know what I mean Grin) for me this weekend.

I have so many heels still in their boxes that I haven't worn......yet.....

shopafrolic · 07/07/2016 18:21

How old is / are your DC(s) peach ? Questions questions Grin

peachlife · 07/07/2016 18:39

My DD turned 5 months old on Monday shop. I am a mere 37 years...38 very soon.... Shock...she is my only one.

The impact on the figure has been - er - substantial!. Even my bottom joined in the pregnancy growth which I thought was very thorough.

I am sure I should have been at least catwalk ready weeks ago! Grin.

Anyhoo - I'll get there!. How old are your DC's shop.....any reassurance that my somewhat smaller figure will one day return would be very welcome Wink
