MNV Volume 76 - the blimey it's so cold edition

[shopafrolic]

We're looking forward to Spring when we can finally get our ankles out. Come and join the fun. All styles and all budgets welcome.

Sorry, I meant "ear protectors Lib?"

Oooh I love caramel profiteroles - please send some down south!!! I have just given dd her first cooking lesson, not quite as complicated - spaghetti bolognese. Had to watch her like a hawk to make sure her hands remained clean!!

I know - Gin emojis and still no bloody fizz!

Oh and QueenC I hear you on the Speedo swimsuit but trust me - I'd stick out like a sore thumb at my pool............. It's all designer bikinis and gorgeous swimsuits. And since I can't afford Eres or similar it will have to be Boden.
Lib if you're there can you send me a pic of DD? MiniShop has forgotten what she looks like

Hope you all had a good time amber, outfit sounds great.

Nice costume shop, can't help on the sizing I'm afraid.

lib you poor thing. My friends DD was going to a trampoline party today and apparently she had to sign some waiver about suing if her DD got hurt

Menu sounds fab dry' I'm with blingy in that I love salted caramel profiteroles -anything hope it all goes well.

The LM tinted moisturiser seems a popular choice. Think I'll invest in some this summer.

A beautiful spring day today. Hopefully this is the start of many doubtful

Yes I saw the but you're right shop we definitely need 🍾!

In the scrum I managed to dodge signing the waiver everyone. I was a bit when it was mentioned on the invite.

Lib you are too funny. I have whatsapped a photo to you of the last birthday party I hosted

Everyone????? How? How? How? How did you do that?

Oh come on shop 🍾🍾🍾

🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾😆 look on your phone emojis Shop, they're not official mumsnet ones.

What so any of those work?! 👏🏼😍❤️😉🎉

FFS

Even the monkeys? 🐵🙈🙉🙊🐒

OMG Marsha the flippin MONKEYS work!

👠👞👟👡👢 Shame the shoes are so bad. And let's not mention the 👛🎒👜

Lol! It's like a whole new world!

shop it's a whole new 🌍😂 but yes the clothes and shoes need a bit of work, maybe MNHQ can devise a decent 👠 one?!

Hope the dinner party was a success dry.

Looks like a nice morning here. A family outing to the seaside might be on the cards.

PMSL at Shop's discovery that we can use emojis from our phone 😱😱🍾😜

Gosh no fashion news here at all. Just waiting for the spring weather to arrive so I can wear my 7/8 trousers again with ballet flat type shoes.

Fedup I like those Hu$h jackets you linked.

Am still in bed having a lazy morning and reading the the thread about the man with secret Polish daughter, it's like a novel

I'm so with you kitty. The thought of wearing my 'uniform' of black cords and boots to work next week makes me want to cry. I also love the Polish love child thread!

for shop. You'd certainly stand out in this

Or this one

Fizz emoji great but I don't dare post from my phone because of the inappropriate predictive texting!!

I'm sitting in my kitchen looking at the glasses that need washing.....I have a very sore head. Evening went well. People do go nuts over profiteroles.I think I will be lying on the sofa today.....may start "Peaky Blinders"

Good grief QueenC! Those two links hurt my eyes first thing in the morning!

Is that Polish love child thread still going? Where is it? The last time i read it, i think he had just told his wife and she wasn't talking to him. Reading like a novel sums it up well!!

I have been out out this morning! OOTD is a metallic silver j crew long tee with j crew toothpick jeans. Bling is the the Tiffany trio on the left hand, Blossom on the right hand, Thomas Sabo red leather wrap around watch and my favourite Russian bangles that i have been wearing for the last few days. I bought them as a gift but loved them so much i couldn't part with them. They're really making me want the Chanel version though!

When i went out i wore my grey lowlands, which i suspect are going to be my going out shoes for the next few weeks because they're flat and warm. This leads me on to my Sunday morning fashion musing....There is an Alexander McQueen dress that I really like. I have liked it for a few weeks. I didn't get it then because i couldn't see any end in sight in terms of me leaving the house - such an optimist, me! Now that things are looking better, i looked at it again this morning. But now think it might only look good with high heels and those are out for me for the next few months. I love this dress but don't want to spend £1400 on a dress that i won't be able to wear. Sigh. #Firstworldproblems

I guess the question is Blingy, do you love it enough to save it in your wardrobe until you can wear heels again? Could there be something you'd like as much in a few months time

still sitting at kitchen table, with tea, trying to muster the strength to wash glasses

Shop I can see gin but not the monkeys! What does that meeeaan :0

Had a good night out last night, some lovely food etc. I do need new going out clothes though.

Can you not see 🐵 Marsha?

Dry, nudge MrDry in the direction of the glasses

The dress is heavy. Good for spring and early autumn. Not good at decisions!

I am sat with a cup of tea changing our food menus for spring. Lots of lamb. It's arduous but saves time. And also involves lots of decisions!
