Crepeys, not Creepys

[Cremolafoam]

Get back on here you lot!

In other S& B news, I have ordered a bottle of "Up the Apples and Pears" from 4160 Tuesdays as my new autumn perfume. It is half price this week. And I will be on the look out for new shoes today.

MrsS, I feel she should be treating you to a little something.

I feel you are right, MI.

In other disorganised news, DD2's Oyster has expired and we forgot to apply for the 16-18 one.

MrsS, is it time for her to pay rent (perhaps into a savings account for the future)?

I like ankle jeans, but they always come up almost pedal-pushers on me. Summer only!

Would you throw me off S&B if I asked about jeggings ? Am wearing v comfy pair from sainsbos...(with a long H&M Top/dress, not a short jumper!)

I'm letting her save, BTM, and not charging her rent for now. (My mother charged me so much rent that it was cheaper for me to move to London and share a house.)

My mother loves her jeggings, MI.

Thumbs up to saving, MrsS!

Jeggings have saved my fat life MI. Zara is full of them. I think they might even be back in , in an ironic manner no doubt.
I have fallen for these

I like cropped trousers on other people, but on me they just emphasise my thunder thighs and cankles. One needs a shapely ankle, I feel. I have a wide-legged cropped jumpsuit I bought from TK Maxx, still with its tags on. It's a nice idea, but just not on me.

I cannot contemplate a jumpsuit for moi.

Jumpsuits make me think of Abba and generally the late 70's so that would be a "no" from me as well.

Thanks for the input re 7/8 jeans. I'm still undecided so will ponder.

Lovely day today celebrating what would have been FIL's 100th birthday. And benefitted from offspring with a driving licence and millennial approach to drinking. BIL keeps an excellent cellar......

I'm happy to wear 7/8 trousers in the summer but put them away come winter. Now that I have 2 pairs of brogues, I may get myself a warmer pair.

I'm back from a wonderful holiday to some bad news. DIL had a scan whilst we were away and there are some serious problems. I don't want to say more than that as it would be too revealing.

We are off to see them in a few days time and I think I'll be taking a break from the internet for a bit.

I’m so sorry.

Please pm me if I can be of any help. Xxx

Magi, so very sorry to hear this. Will be thinking of you and your family (do PM if you would like a private chat ever). x

So sorry for the upsetting news MM. Please do update us if it feels ok to do so, and come on here for continued friendship and support. X

So sorry for you and your family Magi. Don't desert us forever but I completely get the need for space now.

MM, I'm so sorry. Will be thinking of you and your family.

MM, so sorry to hear about your DIL. As other Crepeys have said, please feel free to PM me if you want to talk. We had experience of this with my nephew's wife and it was a horrible time.

MM - sending love and hope things straighten themselves out.

Oh Magi, how heartbreaking it must be to have that waiting for you on your return. Can't say how sorry I am. I really hope there are things that can be done for her, in this modern world. Thinking muchly of you.

Oh MM, am also hoping that she will be able to get good health support. How worrying

Thank you all for those lovely messages.

They mean a lot.

The health care DIL is getting in France is amazing.

I did wonder how I was going to love another GC as much as PFGC - that has been resolved. I love little unborn so much & just wish I could make it all OK for them all.

Gawd, you never stop worrying about your kids..............

Oh Magi, of course you do . I am glad your DIL is getting such good care.
