Big catch up..
Stokey exciting news about the extension! We have builders arriving week after next (about 5 days before my Mum arrives – which isn’t great but we have had to wait months if we turned down this slot in their schedule). First stage of work is getting the current laundry and storage area knocked through to create one big laundry and a downstairs loo. Walls have to be lined / insulated and new floor and changes to drainage etc – we can moan about dust, noise and inconvenience together!
Viva using Pixi Glow glycolic acid toner has been a game changer for my open pores. Some facials sound great just for the feeling of relaxing and being looked after which you probably need right now 
Blingy with reference to your lattes – I have decided to just give them up apart from one ‘treat’ latte at the weekend – just having long black coffee with a splash of milk. Feels like it’s making a difference already. Also I’m using an Aeropress to make my coffee at work – makes a really good coffee and saving me a fortune. I had crept into the habit of spending $10 -$15 a day on coffees at the work canteen which is not good.
Kitty any update on the job situation?
Welcome Eesha. I’d love that batwing jumper in the kakhi shade – sadly no New Look in NZ!
Topaz it’s lovely to have you back. You’ve been missed. I can’t believe it’s been six years since you bought that coat for DD. Waxing it for her is proper Irish Mammy stuff – love it 
. Would be amazing to see you in July if you can make it.
While on the topic of a July MU I am so chuffed that so many of you are potentially going to be there – I really cannot wait to see everyone again. Will have to do a speed dating style circuit around the table to make sure I get a chat in with everyone.
Welcome back littlered!
Justa great purchases – you have me thinking about NK loafers again – I struggle with splurging on shoes but they are so lovely.
Mara well done on keeping going with the Shred! I’m getting out for a walk or run every day and taking breaks from my desk to run up and down the stairs at work. Also aiming to do 150 reps of a combination of squats, lunges, press ups and tricep dips a day at work – I have my own office so easy to just stand up and do 10 squats between emails. The Rixo skirt is fab – are you going to get it?
Fairy apologies I never replied to your pm from ages ago but I really appreciated the advice. I hear you on ankle ties, love how they look on others but always feel anything like that makes me look stumpy.
Fedup how did you get on with the pleated skirt?
Bernice the Sandro bag is lush – hope you can find it. Love the Marc Jacobs too. The Kemi Telford skirts are great.
Phew monster post – big hugs to everyone.
