I'm getting traumatised by all this talk of a dress code.

The only thing I know is ok for me to wear is a big patterned skirt and a black top ...

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 05/04/2007 18:48

Shiver me timbers.

No skirt? A dress? After everything you put us through, you're wearing a dress!!

saggar don't get involved love
just leave it
and she ordered in online

DH is offering to avoid any problems with my review by offering his own review.

He suspects it will be something along the lines of: 'I am pretty sure she wore clothing.'

I told you to buy and apron but, no, you wouldn't have it.

Actually I'm throroughly hacked off with Top Shop website. They've got a pair of sandals on the banner at the top and can I find them? Can I bugger. What's that all about FGS??

your hoover has been sick?

saggar - I saw a jacket I liked in a magazine about a month ago (Eve or Red) - it was from Oasis but I've yet to find it in the store or on the website.

There was also a white shirt in the mag supposedly from Boden but it's not on the website either.

Plus, I tried to order some stuff from the NExt summer directory today and it was bloody sold out! Sold out I tell you, IN APRIL!!!

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 05/04/2007 19:03

I want those sandals!

I might even have to go in to Top Shop - if you're over 21 and bigger than a size six they look at you all strange

Saggarmakersbottomknocker · 05/04/2007 19:04

It's so frustrating GDG.

NotQuiteCockney · 05/04/2007 19:53

Nonsense! I go into topshop (and buy things!) all the time, and I am ancient and huge. Well, not really, but well over 21 and well over a size 6.

What time will shops open tomorrow, do you figure? I am off shopping in town as early as possible, with DS1 in tow (probably) ...

I'm having a hard time finding opening hours, but John Lewis Oxford Street is 10 to 6. So somewhere between Sunday hours and Saturday hours.
