Oh and we put decs up on 1 Dec every year.

libertydoddle · 26/11/2016 16:58

3.30am!!! and 7 others were there before you Shock. Will watch for the first time ever to try and spot you!

Dreamqueen · 26/11/2016 17:24

Evening all!
I'm exhausted. I seem to have started everyday this week with a slight killer hangover.

You're hardcore Amber I'll be looking out for you. Outfit sounds fantastic. I hope they accept your house offer.

Put the tree & decorations up today because i travel tomorrow & don't fancy doing them 3 days before Xmas.

Blingy that chemise is lovely but no way could I justify spending so much on it.

Lib I can see that skirt really suiting you. Hope it's a keeper. Smile at the DHL man shenanigans. I'd be avoiding him too.

Thumbs up Blair to the man who sorted out your boiler, I'd never have lasted as long as you did. I think I'd have gone to the local Travelodge.

Everyone I also like Fossil bags. That looks lovely.

Dry your FD outfits sound brilliant, shame you won't get a chance to wear them soon.

I can't keep up with all the news.

I'm off to finish packing. I'm travelling like a packhorse. 3 suitcases & my clothes are squashed into hand luggage. DH keeps asking "don't they have shops over there?" I've got M&S advent calendars, untold beauty products, John Lewis coat hangers & Dartington crystal glasses to name just a few of the random items in my luggage. Smile I feel like Mrs Claus.

Getting ready for party. Planned to wear sleeveless lbd with new carvella shoes , but it's so cold not sure I can face it . Perhsps with puffy down coat on top . Love getting ready for a night out, part of the fun for me.....better get on with it

Everyonelovessparkles · 26/11/2016 19:40

Have a good time tonight amber! Outfit sounds perfect! Hope the house people accept your offer, that would too,off a good weekend.

Hope you're doing ok blingy.

Have a good time tonight dry. I used to love the getting ready part of a night out, unfortunately these days I mostly have to try and do it in break neck speed in between the DCs bath and bed routine. Have you got your DS on taxi duty? Grin

Have a nice time dream. Think I might have missed where you are off too....

Drywhitethanks · 26/11/2016 19:48

Have we spotted Amber yet? Will catch up tomorrow's

QueenCobalt · 26/11/2016 21:49

I didn't see you amber but I'm dying to know how they film it all. If you can't post on here please pm me or pin.

Longislandicetee · 26/11/2016 22:31

I didn't see Amber, I was caught between the excitement of her actually being there, wearing matching swarovski matching stuff (I whole heartedly approveGrin) and dd and I comparing scores!

AdoraBell · 26/11/2016 22:36

Hope you've had a fab evening amber

Love that chemise, can't afford it though as DDs gave slaughtered my credit card thus weekend, with my permission, but I have ordered a pair of boots. Same as the black block heels I bought recently but in a deep wine colour. Will post a pic when they arrive.

Off to a Christmas market tomorrow. First time so I will try to keep spending to a minimum.

Dreamqueen · 27/11/2016 08:46

I looked and looked for you amber. I've never paid so much attention to strictly.

Blingy hope you're feeling better. It is so horrible to be laid up at this time of year.

Dry hope your party went well.

I'm in the airport lounge taking advantage of the free gin. My sister has warned me not to drink too much in case they don't let me on the plane Smilein my mind every holiday has to begin with gin no matter what time of the day it is. I'm not the only one drinking but I've m the only one with my own packed breakfast from home. I can't eat airport food. I've also bought 2 bottles of water to rehydrate. You got to love BA. The check in man didn't even bat an eyelid at my multiple suitcases and even though they were slightly over, waved me through. Would never happen on easyJet.
Duty free purchases have been Longchamp pliage bags in purple and grey for friends daughters. Couldn't be bothered with anymore shopping. I saw a lovely DKNY Chanel copy type bag but wasn't wildly excited.

BerniceBobsHerHair · 27/11/2016 10:12

Dream where are you going? Like your approach to gin drinking in airports Grin

Stokey I seemed to spend all day on the computer on Friday too - a lot of hype this year, a lot of 20% off which seems to be quite standard for retailers nowadays anyway. The deals seem better for kids stuff, I got some Boden stuff for DD and I also like this website Tootsa Maginty - like the fact it is mainly unisex.

I did manage to buy a few things for me too though Wink. Order a lot from Very exclusive but will just link what I keep. Also order this oasis top and this warehouse dress. Top is for nights out and dress will be useful workhorse if it suits / fits.

Blair good to hear your heating is sorted.

Amber hope you had a good night. Is it filmed live? 3.30am is Shock

Dry I've lost track of your big party - it wasn't last night was it? Great story about the fancy dress, shame you didn't go dressed up!

Kitty I liked the Primark shirt you linked ages ago, good find - I saw similar in black floral but it sold out pretty quickly.

Mara the camo Equipment blouse is lovely. Look forward to seeing the Goyard. I had a look on the outnet after you posted, got this Equipment shirt - want to get a silk one too at some point.

I also ordered some white Grenson boots - love them on En Brogue - but on me they felt quite orthapeadic! Generally I like white boots too - I can see you wearing the ones you linked Lara - they are quite 80s disco but in a good way.

Hope your Outnet order is successful this time Lib - the DHL man would put me off ordering too!

BerniceBobsHerHair · 27/11/2016 10:14

Gah, meant 70s disco.

MarshaBrady · 27/11/2016 11:14

Hello beautiful lot, I fell off the thread for a while. Big post coming up

Lara that Céline is so gorgeous, my perfect bag

Blingy I really feel for you, how are you? I hope the pain is subsiding a bit

Stokey bet you look great in faux fur

Happy you're YSL'd up!

Lib I hate that feeling, esp with too many bags,. How's the skirt? It's very nice

Mara looking forward to Goyard pic

Blair we had no water (cold or hot!) in our area recently and I so know that feeling of really wanting it, thankfully the gym has fresh warm towels and Cow Shed shampoo & c (the little things)

Dry that is funny, you should have Grin

Dream where are you going? Have a fabulous time

Bernice love the Equipment shirt for you, the bag was a Céline trio, as per!

Shop clever shopping as per

Amber Strictly sounds great and house, I had a look at Strictly last night to see you on there, hadn't watched it before and I thought Claudia was so good she was the professional dancer

Fedup what did you see at the theatre that was tedious? Intrigued to see if it was the same as the play we saw (and left at intermission)

Phew that took ages, big wave to everyone

MarshaBrady · 27/11/2016 11:16

I didn't do any Black Friday shopping, it all gets a bit samey and I lose interest.

But I did get this beautiful Proenza Schouler jumper with a big voucher (and not that expensive). It is so soft and warm I really love it. I'm a little in love withe Proenza Schouler in general atm, I love the name.

libertydoddle · 27/11/2016 19:19

Gorgeous jumper Marsha. PS is very luxe looking.

Have been studying all day - what's everyone else been up to and where is Amber with the Strictly gossip???

Bernice that Warehouse dress looks very useful and thanks for linking that children's site. I get stuck in a bit of a Boden rut with DD. I'm hoping DHL deliver the skirt tomorrow as I am out all day.

Busy week ahead, I am managing to stick to my no Wine in the house rule and while I miss it I have to say I feel a lot better for drinking less.

Drywhitethanks · 27/11/2016 20:21

Bernice not my party yet.
Had a fab time, rather too much prossecco when I got home, walking into my drive I said loudly to DH "DS must have a friend over , funny theyve got the same car"!!! DH was Hmm "that's our car without the 'l' platesGrin oops

Everyonelovessparkles · 27/11/2016 20:37

Gorgeous jumper marsha.

Well done on the no drinking at home lib. I'm sticking to my 3 alcohol free days a week but would like to increase that to 4. Though notsure if it means I will just drink the same across 3 rather than 4 days Hmm

Glad you had a good night dry. Are you excited about next week?

shopafrolic · 27/11/2016 20:57

Lib well done on the no booze - I'm super impressed.
Marsha gorgeous PS - perfect
Watching Strictly results on playback and still no sign of Amber
Fun afternoon at the local Christmas light switch on. DS rode loads of fairground rides - so much braver this year. Starting to feel a bit festive......
I have a search if anyone is up for the challenge? Can anyone find me a better quality version of this herringbone jacket. Budget approx £200 (will be a Christmas present). I love this jacket and wear it loads but it is too big for me, the lining has ripped and the wool has pilled so I feel a little like a bag lady.... need a refresh.

Drywhitethanks · 27/11/2016 21:08

Everyone excited is an understatement

Larastheme · 27/11/2016 21:26

How about this shop? The code still works ,

Larastheme · 27/11/2016 21:29

Or this?,
matches are due to start their preview sales maybe you can get them cheaper, they usually do good preview sales,

shopafrolic · 27/11/2016 21:35

Love the second one Lara - first looks short in the sleeve and possibly too light.... Thanks

shopafrolic · 27/11/2016 21:38

I haven't bought from Matches since the sweater refund drama so not sure I'll get sent preview invites this year.

Larastheme · 27/11/2016 21:40

The heldon is 25% off at Harvey nics

shopafrolic · 27/11/2016 22:04

Is there a code for the 25%? Showing at £270 for me...
