Aw sorry you guys are all suffering with the weather! It's sunny and dry up here, normally the other way about?.

blair dark blue will be gorgeous! My SL is back.. DH has a white Audi A8, it's a beast both in terms of power and size - too big for parking spaces and I've banned myself from taking it to the train station after scraping it along the side of a Discover oops

*DiscoverY! Grin

Sweaty Betty sale is now on for anyone in need of gym gear. Including the leggings that DH bought me full price on Saturday - i think I'll keep that one quiet!

After consultations with DH I have ordered this dress in the dark green as my first one to try out. I was tempted by the brighter teal but I think the darker colour looks more formal and will work with my black Hobbs courts so saves on buying shoes. Still looking though so feel free to keep suggestions coming Smile

Just back from my second PT session, I am going to hurt tomorrow. Loads of weights but I loved it!

shopafrolic · 23/06/2016 16:54

Looks lovely Lib - can imagine you in that :)

HappyGirlNow · 23/06/2016 16:59

Just bought DVF beach bag and DVF cork bag for Barcelona and Rhodes later in the year Grin

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 23/06/2016 17:06

Yay! Fingers crossed for the dress Lib. On to bags next, if it's a keeper!

Love both those bags Happy, so summery. A8 is a tank! I'll send you a pic on Saturday Grin

Just had another thunderstorm and downpour. It's stopped now, hope it holds out until I've gone out to vote.

Drywhitethanks · 23/06/2016 17:38

Lovely dress Lib

Hope flooded people are ok

AmberNectarine · 23/06/2016 18:53

Does he take the tube? If so that branch was closed this morning. It wasn't that bad, but where I take the kids to school we have to go through an underpass which was about 3ft under! Then there was gridlock because of the diversion.

libertydoddle · 23/06/2016 19:09

I've just had a nightmare drive, had to turn around as wasn't getting anywhere then got stuck as the lights were haywire and the road flooded. Was lucky not to be hit by an idiot who drove into the flood too fast and lost control of his car and then several people started trying to skip the queue, jump the lights etc, resulting in total gridlock - fecking nightmare. Home now and the sheds are flooded so there's the weekend tasks sorted. Am opening Wine

libertydoddle · 23/06/2016 19:12

Should have said Thanks earlier to both Blair and QueenC who both linked the dress I ordered - it's so useful having an on hand group of style gurus!! Smile

shopafrolic · 23/06/2016 19:12

Lovely cork bag Happy
I have an old wicker clutch with a black patent leather band round it from LKB that is one of the most versatile bags I own.
Lib hope there is minimal damage. Wine sounds like a plan.

They flooded once before in a downpour Shop so after that we have most things on shelves or hanging up. My main worry is the tumble dryer which is on the floor. Also the big shed has matting on the floor as DH has a weights bench in there so that will all have to be sorted out - but nothing we can do tonight really.

Glad I voted early, really worried about what the weather might do to voter turnout in London.

Everyonelovessparkles · 23/06/2016 19:38

Great beach bag happy

lib enjoy the Wine sounds like you need it after that stressful journey.

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 23/06/2016 19:48

Yeah he takes the tube or cycles amber he said he was okay and he didnt realise it was so bad! head int he clouds that man

Lovely dress lib hope it's a winner for you

i am oh so stylishly in pjs already, i just wanted to be cosy and snuggled feeling a bit rough as my elbow is still infected and the new anti b's ive got for it are making me feel rotten

QueenC1 · 23/06/2016 20:46

Goodness, I didn't realise london and surrounds were having such bad weather. It's been warm and humid here but totally dry. Glad you're all safe.
lib I think I may have pinned that dress for you-i totally love it and can see you in it.
happy love the beach bag.
So glad it's Friday tomorrow and almost the weekend. I feel like I'm drowning a bit-there is so much going on with plays, sports days, trips, dress up days, not to mention a zillion parties to ferry around to. It won't get better though till the end of term. 4 weeks and counting.

libertydoddle · 23/06/2016 20:54

You did QueenC - both you and Blair. Hope it fits OK.

HappyGirlNow · 23/06/2016 20:54

Ooh yes, pic on Saturday pls blair Grin how exciting!

Our accommodation in Lake District is sorted, original hotel have booked us into an alternative place, and new hotel is gorgeous! Better then the first actually..

Ooh glad you all like the bags, I love 'em!

Hope the rains have stopped down South.. Makes a change to have the decent weather up here..

MarshaBrady · 23/06/2016 22:10

Was out with friends and dh, cut it short, jumped in an uber ran to polling station and voted with 5 minutes to go. Feel good!
