We love the chatty ones peach, do stay!

Actually heard I'm through to next round - need to write something for them by Monday and prepare something else for interview on Weds. Crazy, because I only even saw it advertised on Tues! Oh god, what to wear? Company is MUCH more casual than current employer, but I have to go straight into the office afterwards for full on day of meetings, a client event in the afternoon/early evening and then a social event! What the hell covers all that - DVF dress maybe?

Off out tonight, wearing the pink blazer, distressed straight legs rolled up, whistles slogan tee, Topshop tie dye twist front sandals that I picked up in the sale for a tenner and Stella Falabella bag. Can't get too drunk - DD's party tomorrow, which if you'll remember was after the MU last year. Urgh at the memories.

Ordered this Monica Vinader ring - the sort of thing I'll wear a lot, I think.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 08/07/2016 20:02

the ring is pretty Amber did you see the flooding in the area you and dp both live in last weekend btw? burst water main right at the bottom of the road dp lives on, they had no water most of the day so couldnt flush the toilet

peachlife · 08/07/2016 20:20

Aw Amber thank you Flowers - I will!.

Well done!. Bleurgh on the having to write something for Monday - but you have obviously wow'd already and so you will on that score too. Hmmm could wear dress without jacket for the intvw and have jacket ready for the rest of the day?. Very best of luck!. What kind of job is it?, if that isn't too nosy?....and if it is too nosy I shall wind my beak in Grin.

Lovely ring - really nice and a great design. Outfit for your DD's tomorrow sounds gorgeous!. Last year sounds like fun.

Drywhitethanks · 08/07/2016 21:24

Grin.........first year in my new job done. I felt a bit tearful.

welcome Peach ........I'm going to be around a lot more now and I'm v chatty so we'll get along just fine Smile

Amber possible new job sounds exciting and positive too.

What exactly is Reformer Pilates?

Wore my Oasis navy floral pencil skirt, silver pointy flats and pale blue Uniqlo merino sweater today.....felt good.

Thanks for the congrats re finishing up - big change but well chuffed! Grin

Oh my goodness, Beyoncé was AMAZING! It's just exacerbated my girl crush, she is just out of this world..

blair we were way up in the seating area and weren't aware of any issues but friends were in standing and apparently someone bumped into someone causing them to spill a drink over someone and all hell broke loose!

Well, spent the night writing up comments in support of our extension application. Next door neighbour has apparently lost the plot. After not being concerned at all by our plans she's gone to objecting which is fine, but more than that comments posted on the planning portal show she's been telling total lies to others, acting the victim to get other objections on her behalf! 10 objections all based on her including from folk in other towns! All her pals! Anyway, got to the point I can't rise above it any more and have had to respond as its getting libellous, it's matter of public record and could be detrimental business wise to us.

DH motorbike racing all this weekend so I'll be warm and comfy for me Grin

HappyGirlNow · 08/07/2016 23:04

Went shopping in Glasgow today before heading home and got Office sandals well actually I ordered online as Office was soooo busy and I CBA trying them on.. Got this Topshop jumper though, love it..

AmberNectarine · 09/07/2016 03:30

Ah, bugger. How did this happen? Just got in.

peach it's marketing, which is what I do now, but this is more content/campaign focussed for a small but established independent. I currently work for a huge corporate firm. Much more scope to be creative etc (involves blogging), but would mean leaving the safety of a job I've known for 9y. Long term earning potential would be less but their product is something I feel very passionate about. We'll see.

HappyGirlNow · 09/07/2016 06:15

Oops link fail for the Topshop jumper

Drywhitethanks · 09/07/2016 09:42

Happy I saw that jumer the other day and was tempted myself. Very nice.

Reformer Pilates looks really good Shop.....might search to see if there are any classes around here.

Another grey day....but I'm thinking white Baxters and chambray TS shirt, Stans perhaps.....going to pretend it's sunny Smile

KittyHello · 09/07/2016 09:48

Morning, long time no post, dh has been away and I've been flying solo with the dc but now he's back dc shipped off to various Saturday morning activities and I have that rare thing call time to myself!

No new fashion buys from me, but have loved wearing my JCrew skirts, when the weather allows. I'm so glad I bought them and have received so many complements.

Off out later for a picnic with the dc, hope you're all having a great weekend. Feels good to be back Smile

Longislandicetee · 09/07/2016 10:31

Morning. drinking a few large glasses of wine, followed by several g&ts then jaegerbombs is a bad idea.

Hello to Peach and Everyone and happy birthdays to Mara, Blair and Stokey. July is a very popular month on MNV! Hope you all had awesome days.

Kitty welcome back!

Not much fashion happening Chez Blingy. Gap kids skinny jeans, jaegar long tee, ballet flats and my Roxanne. I need to go and put accessories on to cheer up.Hmm

Oh big news - for first time in 7 years we have no live in person! Very happy about that.

KittyHello · 09/07/2016 10:47

Yeaay Blingy you can pick your nose, scratch your bum, belch and fart. Not that I can imagine you doing any of those things. You are far too much of a laydee Grin

MarshaBrady · 09/07/2016 18:15

Mara Blair and Stokey you don't all have birthdays on the same day do you? I think Mara you were a few days ago, but Blair and Stokey?

Happy birthday!! Cake [fizz] Thanks

Hope you are having lovely days.

Everyonelovessparkles · 09/07/2016 20:42

Good effort last night amber hope you felt OK today! Brew New job sounds interesting. The trade off between earning potential and something you believe in is a hard one, especially when you've been in your current role for a long time and I bet you feel like you know it inside out. Oh well, see how the interview goes. There's always the good old pros and cons lists! Outfit suggestion of nice dress or skirt/ trousers and top for interview with jacket option for meetings sounds a potential. Or just dress in a similar way on Monday (and Wednesday) so it's not so strange on Tuesday and say you're trying out a new style Grin.

Glad you enjoyed Beyoncé happy and your peaceful weekend!

kitty hope the picnic went well and the weather stayed nice.

Hope everyone else is having a nice weekend too.

Drywhitethanks · 09/07/2016 22:25

Both of my DCs are at parties I'm trying not to imagine what they're getting up to this is new. Quiet house.........just DH and me, quite nice actually.

AmberNectarine · 09/07/2016 22:42

I have the precise opposite dry - four kids aged 8-5 upstairs. I have been up to shout at them about 15 times!

Well, I survived. Totally outsourcing the party helped hugely! Compared to last year it was like Valhalla.

Now waiting for the cat to come in - he beat a hasty retreat when the kids descended. Fair play, I would have done the same.

QueenC1 · 10/07/2016 08:35
