Starting here! Hello all

*Alittle great you could get oneHope its fits you well .. I love mine (despite originally having Greek Widow reservations...Its my fault this lovely dress got called this here!) but yes it is smaller across the bust .

Belle Lingerie have that bra on sale!. I often use this company, (esp good for bra size swimwear) free delivery and Ive never had any prob with returns from them

and Belle Lingerie have 5.6% quidco cashback also at the moment

Decided not to keep in the light of further spends yesterday but thought id post a piccy of the 8 in cutwork top. I have a black vest under it though. Too moch work to make it work and still pricey. It is pretty though.

Brilliant ALittle a Greek widow in waiting no more! it’s lovely and yes I also needed a 12 to accommodate 34FF chest but such an easy style and v. Flattering, recommend you style it with nice long necklace, a bit boho style.

Oh laska I’ve been down the glucose curve route with our old boy. I will say I was petrified of giving insulin injections at first but we got used to it and he was such a good boy didn’t mind being “stabbed” twice a day before food. It’s a bloody expensive business so I do recommend you ask the vet for a prescription for the insulin and order online instead, I’ll send you the link in a mo to vets online who I used for years for insulin and needles. To give you an idea vets would charge £50 odd for insulin but vets online only charge £20, needles are around £12 for a huge 100 pack instead of nearly £30 at vets but you do need to upload prescription. Prescription cost for 3 repeats of insulin was around £9 so really worth asking the vet and specially when you’re not insured. Tesco refused to insure our cat after the first year of diabetes diagnosis so I just told the vet and they were happy to oblige. Maybe I’ll pm you with all the info as it’s not Hush related but I can certainly give you good tips.
All I’ll say is if it hadn’t been for the insulin our old boy would not have had the extra 5 years of good life he got, in the end at 18 years old he deteriorated but we would have lost him at 13 years old if it hadn’t been for the treatment. We still miss him...

Ive given one a go soy .. finding comfortable bras is one of my perennial problems . I did the MN bra intervention a while ago and again since ive lost weight and if they made them Id be a 35 E/F! 34 is definitely too tight .. I go for 36E.. My prob is that the straps never seem long enough ,

Pm'd you Soy - any info would be fab...hes up the garden sulking right now..

never it is pretty but unless you can easily make it work it’ll just sit there making you feel guilty about the cost and no wear...it’s like the white Kelsey skirt I’m returning, such lovely lace, unusual style but not practical and tbh not so flattering on my shape.
You’ll forget all about it once you get your next parcel with flattering things you’ll want to wear again and again

never that's much better . I like it on you (more enabling)

.. though it is a bit short..

Thanks laska and Soy but ive made up my mind about it even kind of before it had arrived. Its honestly pretty thin. I love the detail around the top and the arms but reasons not to keep are:
Its short
Its thin.
Its the kind of black that will fade and look like a rag after its been washed.
Its £50
It works best with a vest to make it look longer [which is ok as its very often cold here] but its £50
There are other things that fit nicer.
So its gone back in the box.
resumed.

Hope you cat gets better Laska. Poor you on the vets bill front.
Need to check out the jumper you ordered now.
No, im not purchasing anything more...honestly. Just curious.

Dont look, its horrible need ..You wont like it ..

Nice jumper.
I love stripes but never wear them.

I always buy striped jumpers and they just lie there looking nice. I don't know why. I just never choose them from my wardrobe.

blue Brayebrooks

Nice laska. Are you keeping them? What about the other colour?

I am keeping my ginormous emilie bag.

Beautiful quality. A bit stiff and cuboid like but hoping it will soften up. Its kind of semi structured. Very robust.

It is of course extremely classy and looks expensive esp worn under the arm.

.and in nude. Love them both esp as leather lined also.. deciding about what ones to keep once the Russell and Bromley and Dune ones arrive.. Reckon ill be keeping the blue anyway

Ooh never I have also ordered that bag. Am excited at the prospect of looking expensive

Can we see the bag never? I really must get on with some work here

Nice shoes laska I should get the blue in the post today too 😍 and now thinking with my swollen/injured ankle it may be a challenge to try them on...
Sod’s law postman will ring bell as I go on my afternoon long work TC’s shortly, so I’ll be checking in with my parcel news much later this afternoon/early eve.
I’ve emailed you cat info 😽
Hope you like the Fantasie t shirt bra, I have it in all colours and it’s the only one I repeat buy year after year. It’s really good for me.

never good call on saintly return! I spent a ruinous amount on a black Mulberry a few years ago for work so not looking at Black leather bags anymore. It’s turned out to be one of my best purchases to date, I use it strictly for work and it’s good as new, cost per wear has been a bargain after all but at the time I remember being shocked at the price. It’s still the most expensive item in my wardrobe (save jewellery) but glad I did...still would like a peep at your shiny Hush bag, I do love a nice handbag 👜

The nude ones are practical and will go with everything. But then you could send the nude ones back from hush and keep the R&B ones. The R&B ones are neutral aren't they? Then you can also keep the blue ones from hush.
Then again, the R&B are suede or nubuck so less serviceable esp in winter.
