Drywhitethanks · 24/07/2016 13:48

i did it!!!!! Wasn't as bad as training less hills, better pace feel so relieved and proud. Prosecco after was great, but I have to say a lot of tea is even better.......

QueenC I LOVE that dress

libertydoddle · 24/07/2016 14:18

BerniceBobsHerHair · 24/07/2016 14:25

Well done dry, knew you would Smile

Drywhitethanks · 24/07/2016 14:48

Smile right now I think I'm in love with my sofa, not moving for rest of the day, just lying back demanding tea Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 24/07/2016 15:17

Well done Dry! You looked like a pro in fb photos. Glad it went well!

I bought this Warehouse jumpsuit last night. Reduced from £75 to £20, I hope the fact that it's linen mix means it won't crease with just a look. Imagining myself wearing it on French hol with straw hat (prob panama) and sandals.

Bernice love that skirt! But oos in my size :(

peachmama · 24/07/2016 18:30

Well done dry! - Fantastic!. Hope you have basked in your well earned glory all day.

Great buy Blair.

Night out last night was brilliant!. Lay in to the heady our of 7am this morning Grin. I looked akin to a weighty horse in pictures....but I am not going to dwell on that. It's a temporary thing Wink.

Happy Sunday all - love that yellow dress queen.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 24/07/2016 18:46

well done dry knew you could do it!!! Thanks Star enjoy resting over the next few days, you must be very proud of yourself Smile

i'm sooo hot. im trying a new tactic to get some sleep tonight, ive filled a bottle with water and put it int he freezer and i will go to bed with it wrapped in a towel and hopefully it will keep me cool enough for me to get some sleep tonight!

Everyonelovessparkles · 24/07/2016 19:59

Well done dry you must be really pleased!

Glad you had a nice night out peach

blibgy hope you managed to sort out the dressing room enough to please your DH.

Hope everyone else has had good weekends.

AmberNectarine · 24/07/2016 20:06

Oh FFS. Boiler is broken. There is no disappointment like stepping into a long awaited bath to discover it is stone cold. Still, at least it's the summer.

Sigh.

Went out with DH last night - good fun. Wore jeans which was a mistake as I was roasting. Also my Sophia Webster sequin shoes which skinned my feet. Not a successful outfit, on balance!

FedupNagging · 24/07/2016 21:06

Well done Dry that's a fantastic achievement. Think you probably need a pedicure now...

I hear you Amber on the cold bath front - that and cold showers, grrr.

We had a great evening with friends last night and Bernice the shoulders of my top didn't stay put although the consensus was it looked more stylish around the shoulders rather than halfway down my arms iyswim!

Blair I really love the yellow dress Queen linked for you. Can also see you in the bargainacious (is that even a word!) jumpsuit.

Peach so pleased you enjoyed your night out and I'm sure you looked nothing like a carthorse - you outfit sounded lovely.

QueenC1 · 24/07/2016 21:22

bernice I love those shoes!
Well done dry. Bet you do another or a half marathon.

HappyGirlNow · 24/07/2016 22:25

Well done dry

blair love the jumpsuit! Will look fab with a Panama!

Dreamqueen · 25/07/2016 07:38

Well done Dry what an achievement Star
I love that jumpsuit Blair & love the bargain price.
Amber crap about the boiler but it could be worse if it happened in winter & you had no heating as well.

I'm waring my new acne Pistols around the house this morning with a very unflattering pair of ling socks & pyjamas trying to break them in. In the shop they were fine but are rubbing on the front of my foot where the boot ends. Do they soften up or have I made a very expensive mistake?

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 25/07/2016 10:27

Morning!

Thanks Fedup, Happy and Dream re jumpsuit :)

Dream ime Pistols definitely soften and go a little slouchy with wear, you can see it in this pic here. I would perservere! What colour did you get btw?

maradesbois · 25/07/2016 10:33

Hellooo,

Just popping in to say a huge well done to dry, a champion!!

Still on hols but need to do lots of thesis research this week. Am at my laptop while ds does some colouring, have promised the beach late afternoon when it cools down. Wearing Marant bright blue and off white peasant top with gap denim boyfriend shorts. Love this top, billowy is definitely cooler in the heat.

dream when I had pistols found them the comfiest things ever, wondering if the socks are very thick? If you bought your usual size am sure they'll be fine, fit tends to be roomy.

Everyonelovessparkles · 25/07/2016 10:46

yellow dress warehouse blair I saw this and thought of you

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 25/07/2016 11:09

feeling pretty pleased with myself as the dress i'm wearing is a size 14. Now it's still ont he larger side of average but considering that this time last year i was wearing 22's, i'll take it as a victory Smile

Are pistols very high? i keep thinking about getting some smarter boots for winter, rather than my docs but i can't wear tall heels, need smaller more manageable ones Smile

peachmama · 25/07/2016 11:39

Aw thanks a lot fedup Flowers.

onenight - achievement of epic proportions - congratulations and big well done!.

Merriboo · 25/07/2016 11:46

Just delurking to say wow, One that's amazing, congrats!!
Feeling a bit flabby at the mo, so inspiration welcome

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 25/07/2016 12:41

thank you peach and merriboo i'm really reallypleased. all ive been doing is eating sensibly, no 'dieting' as such, just moderate portions and treats when i wanted them. I haven't felt like ive been going without or deprived of anything and im so pleased im seeing real results Smile

libertydoddle · 25/07/2016 12:54
