Amber yours is on its way. Kitty and Lib, I will send yours on Monday. I think the 6 is a UK 3.5/4 as they're too big for me.

Very annoyingly our dressing room is like the tardis so I am not sure it's made any difference but I was beginning to be overwhelmed by stuff I don't wear.

Sorry Everyone, I might eventually get round to doing bags again!Grin

Stokey · 22/07/2016 15:29

Wow - great clear out Blingy.

I like the red Hoss dress - though size 6 may be pushing it - & the PB Mac. I'll PM you - you will be drowning in Prosecco at the next MU.

In other news my bikinis arrived and are all surprisingly good, so much so I don't know which to return. I got a black and white Sea Folly one, blue and white striped Freya one, and a candy striped Freya one. I may send back the last as the cup doesn't fit as well as I had to size up.

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 22/07/2016 15:43

Stokey I like the third one best just because of the colours, but you're very sensible to send it back if it's not perfect. The others are lovely too.

Dream hope I didn't sound too bossy there Blush! It is horrible running in this heat, I can only go after work so at least there's shade at that time.

Amber that sounds fab and you're a Star, will let you know.

I've booked to have my hair cut, woo! May need some advice as I always resent paying £70 for what is essentially a trim, even if it is only once a year. Would be up for a change!

Longislandicetee · 22/07/2016 15:46

I love the first bikini the most Stokey. I have PMd you back and will put your stuff aside.

AmberNectarine · 22/07/2016 15:49

I remember doing 7 miles on that 34 degree day last summer. What an idiot, I almost collapsed! Optimum running temp for me is 16-18c.

At camber sands drinking warm prosecco straight from bottle in a £5 tesco bikini #class

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 22/07/2016 16:27

it's so so muggy here right now. i'm sat with a cold wet flannel on the back of my neck to try and cool off a bit

the art bug is nipping at me again so i think i need to dig out my materials and have a go. i know the urge won't pass until i do so unless i want to e nagging at myself i need to get on with it don't i!!

another 50's style dress today. i've come to the conclusion they are the most flattering shape on me as they show off my waist more than anything else and leaving my waist to be covered by baggy fabric just makes me look even bigger so i'll slowly replace tings in my wardrobe with things more in this shape

KittyHello · 22/07/2016 17:01

Thanks Blingy

Stokey I too prefer the 1st one as I think it'll suit your colouring.

Amber have fun.

I started running last year but had to give it up due to dodgy knees so I've taken up yoga instead.

libertydoddle · 22/07/2016 17:29

It's ok Amber, we'll probably get a dog! Not happening until we move anyway. It's obvious you adore that wild feral beast cat Smile

FedupNagging · 22/07/2016 17:57

Wow Blingy that's one heck of a clear out! I must admit I scrolled down really really fast looking for the bags Blush as there is no chance I'll squeeze even a big toe into your outfits!

Nice bikinis Stokey - yes send the last one back if it doesn't fit properly - you want to avoid an embarrassing accident a la Blingy !

I popped into Topman for ds earlier and came home with a blue/white stripe bardot top for me - it's new stock apparently and I can't find a pic - will keep looking. Dh remarked that 'it's a funny shape' Hmm I'm 99% sure I'm keeping it whatever he says and will wear it tomorrow evening with white BR ankle skimmers.

libertydoddle · 22/07/2016 18:24

Flowers for Blingy. I nabbed the one size 12 item!! I insist we get a pre warning of a bag clear out!!!

My outnet order arrived - this shirt is gorgeousin the red. I also ordered it in ivory but that's going back as it's completely see through. I've ordered this yellow long sleeve one instead.

Longislandicetee · 22/07/2016 18:41

Grinabout 5 years ago I did a bag clear out as I had got to 50 and it was unmanageable. I gave half of them and started again. Unfortunately, I am nearing the 50 mark again so I probably will clear out at some point!

AmberNectarine · 22/07/2016 18:57

I keep all my bags. I'm sure I have about 50.

I need to do shoes soon actually. So anyone who is a 5.5/6 could be in luck.....

peachmama · 22/07/2016 19:11

Wowser Blingo!. What a fantastic clear out. Will watch with interest like a hawk avidly for bags and jewellery as sadly not a size 8 either!.

Bother Amber I'm a canoe sized 7 - I bet you have some fantastic shoes!.

Aw liberty thoroughly recommend a dog!. Not because you get to invest in a whole new dog walking wardrobe though of course Grin.

Bought a silky/chiffony red midi skirt from H&M today - need to invest in some hot weather stuff that doesn't involve showing my thighs yet....it's all about the midi's for me at the moment.

Really nice shirts liberty, particularly like the red one.

Amber there is no question in my mind that you will still be looking fabulous!. I once did a fitness weekend thingy at Camber Sands - beach was so lovely. Enjoy!.

AmberNectarine · 22/07/2016 20:14

Oh yeah, I'm fitness personified, what with the massive infected spider bite on my leg (finally went to docs about it today - got anti-biotics and a bollocking for leaving it so long!)

New Rayban clubmasters arrived though, so have been hiding behind those. Love. Need to try on the DVF still.

shopafrolic · 22/07/2016 21:00

All packed. Fly tomorrow. Can't wait. Welcome to lurkers. Stick around. Smile

Have a great time shop

KittyHello · 22/07/2016 22:17

Have a fab holiday Shop

QueenC1 · 22/07/2016 22:18

I'm a little bit tipsy pissed from Prosecco! School hols are finally here!

stokey I like the 2nd one best.
amber I'm your shoe size but pretty sure that all your shoes will either be too pointy or too high for me!

Stokey · 22/07/2016 22:25

I'm a 5 but suspect Amber's shoes are also too high for me, I need to get more taxis.

I love a midi skirt Peach, very versatile.

Have a fab holiday Shop, relax, and let us know if you & Marsha manage a sunny MU.

VivaVegas · 22/07/2016 22:33

Wow you have been busy Blingy, a proper clear out! Sadly all too small for me!
Love those bikinis Stokey I really like the first one. Was delivery quick as I could do with one more for my hols and they have lots of nice ones on there?
You'll be fine Dry, you sound like you are fit from your gym visits so just pace yourself and enjoy it. I can't believe I ran a marathon 3 months ago and can just about knock out a 5k at the moment!
Have a fab holiday Shop, this time next week it'll be my turn so I need to get sorted this weekend as working all week, and want to avoid racing round like a loo next week!

AmberNectarine · 22/07/2016 22:37

I'm going to keep you both in mind. The shoe cupboard is overwhelming me at mo! I definitely have a couple of pairs I bought too big because I loved the style that might be good for Shop.

AmberNectarine · 22/07/2016 22:39

Have a lovely break shop. My ex-fiancé came from the country you're off to, so I have spent a lot of time there - beautiful place.

AmberNectarine · 22/07/2016 22:40

Running fitness is a weird one, isn't it Viva, falls away so fast! I do find that when I keep up the strength training in tandem with running, I find the runs much easier, so dry should be fine!

shopafrolic · 22/07/2016 22:49

Amber surely you didn't buy size 7??? Would love a nosey if you did Smile
Thanks for all the well wishes. Will dip in and out from a sun lounger x
