Spent ages on phone trying to co ordinate some voluntary work.

Have a Good day all x

MrsGruber · 09/04/2018 13:57

Hope it goes OK One.

You have my sympathy Fancy.
SotD has been Coromandel. Big guns needed at work. Have nipped out and picked up a cheap Abahna EDP in TKMaxx at lunchtime. Haven't sniffed so not sure if it's a keeper or if it's hitting the present drawer yet. Lilac Rose Geranium in nice packaging.

Can’t wait to get home today and see if any of my packages have arrived! Very excited about my Chanel haul. Will give Parure a sniff and likely send onto MrsGruber if I don’t like it.

Flowers for Fancy x

LibertyBlue · 09/04/2018 16:01

Hope work is going ok MrsGruber

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 16:03

PP valentino Donna and valentino rock and roses has arrived...
Both very pleasant rose scents.
Will be lovely for summer 👍

I've sent the evil dark side perfume back to galaxy far, far away 🤣

PerfumeIsAMessage · 09/04/2018 16:30

Afternoon all.

Good luck Onenight!

Sotd has been PP No Malone LBM. It's OK. Even the £5 PP version doesn't make me think "cripes what a bargain" as it's just so linear. Will have a bath in a bit and put something nicer on.

Hi all, exciting news here - have unexpectedly got £100 of reward vouchers to spend from work. Can use in Boots, Debenhams and House of Fraser plus other non perfume places. What to get?

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 16:51

Any of you lovely ladies have a 4610 Rome 1963 sample you dont want?

I have shazam!, eau my soul or Rosa ribes in return?

CountFosco · 09/04/2018 17:19

SotD Terra Incognito Secret Island. Last one from my Bloom subscription. Pure ozonic notes, very 90s.

Oh, Auberginerus unexpected vouchers from work are always exciting, being forced to buy something for yourself! Last one I got I bought a small handbag and some Molton Brown. The one before that I bought towels Grin not just for me but lovely because the towels we got when we married were falling apart!

positivepineapple · 09/04/2018 18:41

MrsR I have a Rome 1963 up for grabs. Just one spray gone - it's really not for me.

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 18:41

Um

I might have done another bad thing...

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 18:42

Is it a sample pineapple?

positivepineapple · 09/04/2018 18:44

Yes MrsR Smile

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 18:46

Oh I'd love it.
Can I interest you in any of mine?...

UnnecessaryFennel · 09/04/2018 18:54

mrsr you are incorrigible Grin

positivepineapple · 09/04/2018 18:57

I'd love to try Rosa Ribes MrsR if that ok? If you inbox me your address I'll pop Rome in the post for you tomorrow Smile

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 19:01

I know fennel I'm ashamed of myself 😄

pineapple I'll post rosa ribes tomorrow if you pm me your address x

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 19:02

I've bought a sexiest scent extrait with 15ml left and seller is throwing in some oriane 😁😁

CheapTarnishedGlitter · 09/04/2018 19:18

Hello! Lots going on!!

Exciting news Fennel, I Hope all goes well Sock, sorry to hear it's been a hard day Fancy.

Have had unexpectedly good weather in Cornwall so SotD yesterday was AC Orange Sanguine for a clear warm day at the beach and today has been Oriane.

Still checking TKMaxx... if they have True Lust in stock when we're back home I might go for it...

Judydreamsofhorses · 09/04/2018 19:56

SOTD is MMM Untitled. It felt a bit spring-y today.

Good luck, one, hope everything goes well. fancy, hope tomorrow is a better day. Btw, DP has been doing some ebay-ing, he has loads of vinyl and it has proven very lucrative. Annoyingly we have a non-paying bidder on the record which sold for £150 - bloody typical. The rest have been going for an average of £40, which is pretty good. (All fairly obscure 90s indie stuff, whuch only real geeks bought on vinyl.)

Can everyone send good dental vibes for me tomorrow, please? I am more scared about this checkup than I have been for hours of root canal treatments. And I have the stupid cold again.

OCSockOrphanage · 09/04/2018 20:07

Nobody want to confess to the latest 4160T crowdfunder? No one? Don't believe you! It does look interesting visually, but I want to read the T&Cs before I decide...

SoTD was Equistrius, but my hands have been washed so many times it's a miracle there's still skin there, much less perfume. Back to getting used to putting in and (worse) removing contacts; am sure it would have been easy at 16, but at 61...

OCSockOrphanage · 09/04/2018 20:12

Good dentist wishes for you Judy, you must be keen to hear, "I don't think we need to see you for a year". Love MMM Untitled; haven't worn it yet this year, but it's on the horizon. Your DP's E Bay vinyl sale reminds me that I should get around to doing the same.

Best wishes to One. Happier tomorrow, Fancy.

mrsreynolds · 09/04/2018 20:22

Good luck Judy x

MrsGruber · 09/04/2018 20:35

Good luck Judy.

I'm already in OC - I like the crowd funding. Can't beat the combo of a bargain and a bit of suspense Grin. Plus I like to support 4160Ts; they've taught me so much about perfume and I admire the way their ethics are part of the business.

It's not much of a risk - always the option to swap/sell on if necessary...

Loads of luck for tomorrow judy Flowers

I'm working my way through a gazillion Ebay pages because the filter tool doesn't seem to be working. Do we have an opinion on Issey Miyake Pleats Please (please)? I feel as if it's calling to me but I have absolutely no idea why because it doesn't look or sound like something I would like.
