Happy New Year all. Was nice to read all your round ups, though apologies as I won't be able to remember them all!
I've been up since silly o'clock with baby DS so thought I would post 
Dry hope you are recovering well, I've also got my eye on a reduced seafolly swimsuit. Where are you off to (if you don't mind saying)?
Belated happy birthday to your DD Marsha! 
. What are you thinking of doing about work?
Justa swoon at bag purchase! A Loewe puzzle bag is my dream bag purchase. In fact Voguettes, any suggestions for a similar bag at a cheaper price point? The only one I can find is the Yza satchel by Sandro but it seems to be sold out everywhere.
I bought this bag in the Black Friday sales, I like the look and colour of it but it is quite small and a bit of a squeeze to get things in and out of.
I also had a bit of a spree in the January sales 
so need to rein it in for the next few months famous last words
I'm sorry to hear things are tough with DH Lib and also that things have come to the end of the road for you and DH Viva - I hope you can make it to a MU as it would be nice to meet you.
On a different note, I make a lot of soups but just use a stick blender - not heard of a soup maker, the blender way is pretty quick and easy.
Topaz nice to see you back, I always like your links. I think I remember you getting the Barbour for your daughter. Did she get it professionally re-waxed? I tried to do mine myself and it hasn't really worked at all. I should dig it out to see if it can be salvaged.
Mara well done on doing the shred, I have the DVD somewhere - should dust it off!
Look forward to seeing a lot of you at the MU. And hello to everyone I have missed!
