Bit distracted right now, MIL is in hospital and they aren't sure what's wrong with her. Waiting to see if we need to go up, or at least DP needs to go up.

Get well soon dream and you too Queen Thanks Thanks

shopafrolic · 20/09/2018 15:06

Dream gutted you won’t make it. Get well soon.
One hopefully nothing too serious

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 20/09/2018 16:41

Viva all those tops are nice but I really like the satin one. Hope it goes well for you Thanks

Oh dear one hope your MIL is all right and they find out what's wrong quickly.

Thanks shop will check out gap. Dry I have a really old pair of jamies, but maybe the style has changed, they are probably from when skinnies first came in! QueenC will check out next too, thanks all Wine

Dream get well soon, poor you, it sounds horrible.

QueenCyan · 20/09/2018 16:59

My colleagues got sick of me coughing so sent me home Grin.
one hope she’s ok?
I’ve just ordered this. Love whistles sweatshirts and needed to take advantage of the 20% off before it runs out.

shopafrolic · 20/09/2018 17:42

That’s lovely QueenC

OneNightTimeMenaceStrikesBack · 20/09/2018 17:56

they've found the problem, it's her gallbladder. They've said it will have to come out,whether that's now or later, we don't know yet as it's infected currently so she's staying in again tonight and possibly for the next few nights, unsure, while they get infection under control and then decide if its coming out now or later. just glad its nothing worse and that they've found the problem now

kittyhello · 20/09/2018 19:59

One sorry to hear your MIL is poorly, really hope she gets treated soon Flowers

Dream and Queen get well soon both

Have just done a massive catch up so excuse me if I've forgotten loads am loving all the green boot links especially the R&Bromley ones.

Dry I loved those giraffe print boots but don't think I could pull them off.

Like the Hush blouse you bought Fedup

Lovely bags and AW dress Blingy

Am off to look at some tops Stokey linked Cupro ones I think and also to check out the Whistles camisole vests as I too ha've noticed vey low Vs on a lot of tops and dresses - the Whistles Giraffe print dress, all my Boden T shirts along with a Hush one too. In the summer I don't always want to wear a vest underneath a top/dress Angry maybe I'm just a prude Grin

Blair I'm a pair and my go to for jeans is next petite. I'm carrying some extra summer weight and needed bigger jeans as all my skinny ones are too tight so I bought a slim fit pair still in my usual size and am wearing them rolled up with white trainers.

Viva go with whichever top makes you feel wow, hope it all goes well on Saturday.

shopafrolic · 20/09/2018 20:10

Is this list still correct for Saturday? Can those who are not eating let me know so I can adjust with the restaurant?

Poor you Dream and your poor dmil One.

I am very excited as I have been decluttering for the last few weeks and the end is in sight! The last 2 boxes that I am shipping will leave our house on Saturday. I have got rid of all the first 5 year clothes and all the first 4/5 years toys plus a few clothes that needed to go.

Today's outfit is this ted baker dress with the new Prada handbag and R&B ballet flats. Oh and a pink Top Shop cardigan that I have had for 20 years!!

MarshaBradyo · 20/09/2018 20:20

Wow pretty good list - lots of us. What time Shop, is it 12.30? Not pretending I’ll be home before evening!

shopafrolic · 20/09/2018 20:34

I sent a message Marsha - thought it was 1pm?

MarshaBradyo · 20/09/2018 20:41

Cool I missed the message 1pm it is

DryWhiteagainW · 20/09/2018 21:41

Need to check train time home so I can tell you all when I need to leave.....from previous experience I get over enthusiastic/carried away with the bonhommie Hmm and end up sprinting/staggering back to station.

Hello all!
so sorry I've been awol. Ever since the app logged me out I'm struggling to find the time to post. I know that sounds so pathetic but I need to find the time for the rigmarole of changing the password Blush
So much to catch up on but I am hoping to still make it Saturday. Won't be able to stay very long though. Thanks for arranging shop!
Hugs to Viva sorry to hear you are still having a tough time. The outfit ideas are great though.
Hope you feel better soon Dream and queenc and hope your dmil has a quick recovery one

Everyonelovessparkles · 21/09/2018 11:07

Hope queenc and dream are feeling better.

I’ve also noticed that alot of v necks are low which is why I tend to stay away from them now.

viva any luck with the 3 tops you bought? Just a word on the red one.i have to stay away from tops like that in a plain colour as I kept getting sweat marks under the arms Blush maybe I am just particularly sweaty but you don’t want to be worrying about that on your dates.

blair I have the lee Marion jeans and like their fit. They are quite long but not ridiculously so and fit nicely in the waist and thigh area. They’re more of a slim straight fit which is what I like.

I’m really sorry but I can’t make tomorrow now. I’ve been away with work this week and with my friends birthday drinks on Saturday as well, I just can’t manage both. Gutted to miss you all though Sad.

Stokey · 21/09/2018 11:09

I don't think I'm going to make it sadly. Have the school fair until 1 and preparation today, and just know the last thing I'll feel like doing is getting dressed up & coming into town.

Sounds like a great gang though so do update is on the thread.

shopafrolic · 21/09/2018 14:47

Shame Stokey I was looking forward to you and your shoe collection Grin
I’ve changed the booking to just 10 of us now

shopafrolic · 21/09/2018 16:39

This weather is mad. What is everyone wearing tomorrow? I'll probably do my usual and rock up in trainers at this rate!

DryWhiteagainW · 21/09/2018 19:12

Can’t wait for the MU. I’m out tonight (could be a mistake....I’m setting my alarm for the early morning start now I case I forget later!!!!)
Red coat
Prob dark jeans
Stilettos (flats in hand bag!)
Top

Can't wait to hear what everyone is wearing :) unfortunately the weather does not look good but I'll cross my fingers that no one's shoes get ruined!

shopafrolic · 21/09/2018 19:49

I’m hoping the rain won’t come until we are in the restaurant. Planning to get it early to do some shopping. Nails painted, hair mask on. Love the prep - I think I do more for MUs than date night Grin

MarshaBradyo · 21/09/2018 19:55

I’ll probably be wearing suede espadrilles, easier than heels, so I hope it won’t either

Will be wearing a dress as I’m so sick of jeans

Dh has done such long hours this week, this is my reward!

MarshaBradyo · 21/09/2018 19:59

It’s all a bit of a blur but I’ve liked the Italian SS shows flipping past on Insta. Etro looked nice, nice carefree vibe and prints.

Dreamqueen · 22/09/2018 05:32

Hope you all have a lovely MU today. How are you feeling QueenC?

I can't keep up with all the style comments. I've been in bed for the past 48 hours and feel slightly better.

DryWhiteagainW · 22/09/2018 07:22

Bed at 1
Up at 6
Concealer packed
Hair done
Flats on
Stilettos in handbag
I’m on my way
Love a MU
