Cherries crikey that is one godawful anxiety dream, definitely good idea to get out among people, rather than be at home by yourself.
Outfit sounds perfect.

GinandGingerBeer · 19/11/2018 09:09

Happy birthday @hendricksy Have a lovely day 🛍 CakeThanks

dontcallmelen · 19/11/2018 09:10

Gin aww horrible when that happens, Hope you have a better morning as well.

dontcallmelen · 19/11/2018 09:15

I think we may be having collective night sweats & bonkers dreams.
I dreamt I was at a circus, in a massive field & some woman was chasing me around trying to persuade me to have Botox, woke up about 3ish in a cold sweat drenched & my top & the sheet were stuck to me.

ilovecherries · 19/11/2018 09:19

It must be something in the air. Like how women who live together in a community synchronise their menstruated cycles, we are all synchronising our sweats and crazy dreams 😂.

Gin, hope you have a better day, and happy birthday, Hendricksy.

ilovecherries · 19/11/2018 09:19

Menstrual.

hendricksy · 19/11/2018 09:21

@GinandGingerBeer thank you 🤗

NotAnActualSheep · 19/11/2018 09:26

Oh cherries - that sounds like a horrible dream ( though I have to say the way you described it did make me laugh Blush). And, yes, not too difficult to work out where that one came from... I hope you have a good day and feel better with a bit of company. Your outfit sounds lovely. I've got the grey harems on today too. (Home working FTW).

And I'm sorry to hear you are still suffering Gin. Take time to recover. Those earrings are lovely ( I don't have pierced ears so live vicariously through others' earrings!) And I know what you mean about itch scratching... Hope the leggings work out better for you!

Happy Birthday Hendricksy ! Enjoy your shopping, and have some WineGinCake. ( not just yet though...still a bit early Grin).

Waves to Laska3Meryl. Hope you had a lovely weekend!

Have a good day all...

hendricksy · 19/11/2018 15:43

Thanks .. lovely day .. Went into hush at Kingston and they had white a lot but not many small sizes and although I'm not thin I size down in most of their items .. I've ordered the emanuelle online to come tomorrow to make up for it 😂...
going shopping next week to a bigger one so maybe get something then too 🤗🤗

dontcallmelen · 19/11/2018 17:40

hendricksy glad you had a good day, sounds like a plan.🎂

Ellapaella · 19/11/2018 18:22

@hendricksy Happy Birthday 🎂 Enjoy the rest of your day.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 19/11/2018 20:00

sounds like you had a lovely day Hendricksy :)
Well had a terrible nights sleep although felt not too bad in the morning although feeling it now. Kept tossing and turning most of the night. Not sure if I had a dream. If I did, I cant remember it that's for sure. The only thing hush that I wore today to work was my long sleeved tee under my cord black pinafore. I did wear my leopard boots from New look and did get a compliment. They were nice with my outfit although they did hurt my little toe on the left side but that's not unusual. Its rare to get a pair of shoes that don't hurt at all. My dm's have been like that.
So what has everyone else been up to?

Ellapaella · 19/11/2018 21:10

Been working today. Very busy at work at the moment and winter pressures means I have to also help out on the wards due to staff shortages as well as doing all my clinics and usual workload. Quite stressful.
I get home around 5 but then it's non stop with the kids, piano lessons, dog walking, making tea, helping with homework, baths, pack lunches etc etc you know how it is. Only just sitting down now and I have to confess I have a small glass of wine in hand to drink while watching I'm a celebrity.
It's one of the few things my teenage DS will watch with us so I although I'm not really that bothered with it I watch it so that we are doing something together!
I'll be browsing on my phone as well. Trying to put together a bit of a Christmas and birthday present list together for the two you get boys (already got everything for eldest ds).

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 19/11/2018 21:41

Yes, its all go. I always have work to do for the next day and its especially time consuming tonight. We don't really have clubs except on a Wednesday and Saturday and that's enough. I always do pack lunches in the morning as I could not face it in the evening. I have bought some little things for my kids but still have to get their main Christmas present. I have my dd's 12th Birthday at the end of January but you must find it especially expensive having two to buy for @Christmas time!! I am always thankful with my dd that I have the sales.
Your work sounds very very stressful.

Ellapaella · 19/11/2018 21:53

Ha @Alwaysasparklymoment99 my two youngest also have their birthdays in December! It's an expensive month. We also have 14 nieces and nephews between our two families as well. Needless to say I'll be trying to get as much on Black Friday as possible!
Do you think Hush will do anything for Black Friday? I might treat myself to the ziggy jumper for Christmas or a nice scarf.

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 19/11/2018 21:57

I wish they would. I am sure they will do something but it will probably be on the lines of 10 jumpers with 10% off or something like that. I am sure they did that last year but not sure if it was a black Friday thing. I am tempted to order something but keep thinking how annoyed I will be if they reduce. Its expensive at this time of year so shouldn't really buy anything!! If the price was right though I could have been tempted. I think you should buy the Ziggy jumper as you have lusted after it for some time :)

Alwaysasparklymoment99 · 19/11/2018 21:58

But wait and see. You might just get some money off it! I'm tempted by a couple of their black dresses and love some of their jumpers but I am hanging in there.

Ellapaella · 19/11/2018 22:32

I'm sure I'll end up getting it eventually. May as well get it for Christmas and feel less guilty. I usually get a bit of money from my parents and in laws so maybe that'll be what I spend it on. I'm trying not to think too much about clothes at the moment as I have so many other things to spend money on (not to mention my recent car dilemmas).

DavetheCat2001 · 20/11/2018 12:03

Sparkly top.. what do you think?

🤔

I think it's ok.. not sure if it's that special or worth the£££. The first think I noticed was a bunch of threads hanging off one of the arms!

I really struggle to get a decent angle when I take pics of clothes

GinandGingerBeer · 20/11/2018 12:16

I think it looks lovely Dave, I had a look at in in JL but the feel of it put me off a bit, it kinda set my teeth on edge a bit! Shame as I really do like it.

DavetheCat2001 · 20/11/2018 12:26

Thanks Gin..I know what you mean..it has a fun smell to it too!

I think I probably will keep it..it does work with the MV leggings and covers my bum which is a must!

Ellapaella · 20/11/2018 12:30

It's a nice shape with the leggings. It's hard to see how sparkly it is in the photos though.
The boots look lovely.

NotAnActualSheep · 20/11/2018 12:49

I think it looks great Dave (and by "great", I mean absolutely amazing Envy). It works really well with the leggings and boots, and looks special but not OTT. However, what you say about the threads isn't good...why can't they sort out their quality control department..???

I know what you mean about getting angles right... and also lighting to distinguish texture/ dark colour i find really difficult. Also, Ive discovered my phone has a "whiteboard" function (who knew..), which recognises my mirror as a whiteboard and kind of squares it up after taking the photo. Which means it takes the narrower bit at the bottom and makes it wider - which, lets face it, is not a flattering look Grin.

NotAnActualSheep · 20/11/2018 13:01

On the bum-covering thing - does anyone know any dupes for hush's long length t-shirts (ideally charcoal or some other non-black dark colour)? Ideally about half the price! I've been inspired by huff's layering of the MV leopard star jumper (which I appear to be keeping, as I'm wearing it today Blush) - but all my t shirts are a bit short, and finish at the same level as the jumper. Ive got the black wide top under it at the moment which works lengthwise, but it seems a "waste" to cover that up and then I have to do the washing in unicorn tears thing, which is a right pain
