I've gone for Avon nightmusk as sote

Had a not very Zen experience on my way to yoga at the weekend. I stepped out onto my top doorstep, failed to notice ice, and slipped head first onto gravel. At least my fall was partly broken by grabbing the side of a skip on the way down Shock. Fortunately only very minor damage done and, more importantly, I don't think the neighbours saw but I didn't get back to TK Maxx, Kalifornia.

Destiel there are also frankincense notes in White Queen, Eau My Soul and Paralleli.
I like Black Lotus too Pots.

Destiel · 05/02/2019 07:57

Cold out there today ❄
Sotd obsession I think...

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 05/02/2019 08:00

Oooh, sounds nasty MrsL, hope you're ok!

(It's Fennel btw, fancied a new name)

Carillon pour un ange always smells like carrots on me.

I don't know what SOTD is going to be today. I wore SL 5 o'clock au gingembre yesterday. I think I might go for a random pick today.

Destiel · 05/02/2019 09:17

Hope it feels better MRSL

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2019 09:21

ouch MrsLucas that sounds nasty. glad not too serious tho.
No snow here.

Another child off sick so another day of house bound stuff.

SOTD tbc!

MrsLucas · 05/02/2019 09:27

Just lost a post somewhere.

Thanks Maud - cuts and bruises. Could easily have been a lot worse. Your post yesterday made me laugh (gun, defo).

Yoga people (sounds like we have another Venn set?), OML doesn't get a lot of attention here, even in the sale. Teta - was it you who bought the Blue set? What did you think?

MrsLucas · 05/02/2019 09:30

Thanks Destiel and Kalifornia.

SotD is Theorema. A rare outing as I only have a couple of mls.

Ollivander84 · 05/02/2019 09:43

SOTD another kiss by the fireside

Destiel · 05/02/2019 09:47

I got the blue horizon spray and yoga eye pad.

It's ok.

teta · 05/02/2019 10:20

No it wasn’t me.
Ouch MrsL. That could have been so nasty - well recovered.
Lotsofpots I love your hot yoga😁.
I’m missing mine today. A combination of dhs jet lag & a slightly fraught teens parents evening which required a self medicating Big Mac ( I was starving and normally have the salad) and a mini bottle of whisky before bed.
Sotd is Pure Distance Antonia for the birds singing like spring here this morning. Now the fog is rolling in and they’ve gone quiet.
Has anyone tried Angela Flanders perfume Precious One?
It’s a white flower and Oak moss/vetiver blend and has good reviews. I’m just wondering whether to buy the 10 ml blind.

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2019 10:26

teen parents evenings.
no one warns you do they.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 05/02/2019 10:37

teta, I feel your pain. I'm wearing Arpege... for a meeting with the Headmaster Hmm

Ds passed all of his GCSE mocks but not well enough, apparently, so I've been called in to 'discuss how we can best support ds to achieve the results he is capable of'. I suppose I should be pleased they're investing so much time and energy in the boys but it does rather feel as if I'm in for a ticking-off myself.

So, something grown-up was needed and I've run out of 24 Faubourg Grin

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 05/02/2019 10:38

And I have to go into work for a horrible meeting this afternoon. Gah. I need a Big Mac and whisky too Grin

Destiel · 05/02/2019 10:46

I've got to wait in for the oven engineer 🙄

I've done my daily yoga, taken my DN to his drs appt.

I've got some online training I could be doing....

Its freezing again here ❄

Ds1 did quite well in his mocks...we won't have another parents evening before the exams, thank goodness.

Destiel · 05/02/2019 10:53

Oh damn, Ive got another meeting at 6.30 too.

Grr.

Lotsofpots · 05/02/2019 13:10

Glad you're ok MrsL - appalling balance and coordination means I don't need ice to fall arse over tit, so i feel your pain.

All this talk of teens and school meetings make me, with my preschooler and baby, feel like I'm hanging out with proper grown ups. It also makes me dread 12 years time somewhat...

Preschool jabs today, so needed the ultimate comfort perfume - 4160 CVC. He was obviously braver than me, mainly as he knew ice cream would follow.

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2019 13:32

ahh Lotso that pre school jab was always the worst of the lot - too young to be mature about it too old not to notice.... xx

Destiel · 05/02/2019 14:50

When ds1 has his mmr the nurse jabbed my hand...

KaliforniaDreamz · 05/02/2019 14:51

i shouldn't laugh Destiel.....

Destiel · 05/02/2019 14:59

I figured it could be a good thing?
😁
She looked quite put out when I told her that the needle was in fact, in my hand, not my sons thigh...🙄

Oven now fixed hopefully.

Georgianfairy · 05/02/2019 15:19

Ouch MrsL, your poor face! Hope you are ok now!

Sotd Portrait of a Lady. Swoon, this would be FB worthy but it's gone weirdly musty on my skin. Smells glorious on my scarf though Grin

Final lot of samples have arrived today from feelunique, all smell pleasant enough on paper!

Is anyone a fan of Odin 00 Auriel? It was one of the nose samples but it's far too oudhy for me so happy to send on to anyone who wants it!

Georgianfairy · 05/02/2019 15:24

Hope the ill/immunised children feel better soon! When my DD had her preschool booster last year she watched the needle going in, apparently completely unfazed. My DS on the other hand, who is 2 years older, wouldn't even enter the room and stood crying outside it with me, even though he wasn't getting anything done!
