I'm in every bit of that fab Venn diagram Pest and Judy I also have tickets for The National in the summer, although rather guttingly may not be able to go as ds2 is due back from his school residential that day SadAngry

Sotd pp by the fireplace

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 07/02/2019 07:25

SOTD is Patch Flash.

Taking ds for his first sixth-form college interview this morning. Dreamt last night that they didn't give him an offer Sad Not anxious at all, clearly! Keep your fingers crossed for him (and me!)

Destiel · 07/02/2019 07:45

🤞 for ds x

MrsLucas · 07/02/2019 07:56

Good luck Maud! (I dreamt I placed a ,4160T order).Smile

FloofyCat · 07/02/2019 08:46

Good luck for 6th form interviews! We have had a couple of those (and I felt I was judged more than the DC HmmI'll wear my wig for the next one) Do report back, it's a stressful time isn't it. Good luck also for cat and wallets speedy recovery BrewJudy suede and teenage fanclub, that takes me back! I have a feeling I saw the latter at The Academy but those days are a bit blurry Wink

Battleaxe I bought (I think) from YR the cherry blossom and monoi for summer and the vanilla bourbon as I've never tried this one! Plus one more which escapes me and some skin stuff but I've forgotten my password already so can't check Grin Good freebies with them too.

Now I want to go to Lidl! 8 you say? That would involve getting out of my PJs but possibly worth the effort Grin

MrsLucas · 07/02/2019 09:04

"Floof", yes, plus 4 masculines. They looked liked they'd only just arrived as they all had testers tooSmile. I was in a hurry so couldn't sniff properly.

Lotsofpots · 07/02/2019 09:10

Destiel · 07/02/2019 09:28

Good luck for your Ds Maud!
I dread school interviews. Once attended one with Dd2 for this very academic school and it was a absolute car crash. It has gone down in family folklore. And the weird thing was she got in!
No yoga today as have two teens off with the latest lurgy sweeping the schools.Am fighting the dog for the warmest bits of the sofa looking at company accounts.I must find some nice perfume to put on.

KaliforniaDreamz · 07/02/2019 09:33

ha ha that venn diagram! all me! add in pre teen, teen and school age too - cover all bases...

SOTD Timeless DH said to me ru wearing talc?

hope all ok today x

KaliforniaDreamz · 07/02/2019 09:34

there is some coeur de fleur on ebay but says eau de toilette and i didn't think MH made that only eau de parfum......

Destiel · 07/02/2019 10:15

Its def got a powdery note kali!

FloofyCat · 07/02/2019 10:43

Quick post to let you know I can't link on the app but there is a thread in site stuff that security on MN has been comprised and people have been able to access other accounts.

I know some of us have exchanged personal information so please could you make sure your messages in inbox are all deleted? Especially those of us who post in FWR!

It's very worrying indeed. I've been here years and years but this might be too much for me.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 07/02/2019 11:59

floofy I just came on to post the same. I am genuinely horrified this could happen.

SOTD Miss Dior. Cat update - all fine, and I let her out in the garden for a bit this morning. (Purse update - all empty.)

Lotsofpots · 07/02/2019 12:01

Thanks Floof. Have deleted all messages with addresses, and will check out the main thread.

FloofyCat · 07/02/2019 12:21

I've deleted all mine. I know MN say it's related to an update so hopefully it's a glitch with only MNers rather than a third party being able to access information (if that makes sense?)

I have deleted my inbox and sent items. I have also emailed MNHQ to delete all my previous posts (if this is possible going back 12 years!) as I've posted under lots of NCs especially in the FWR section and am now worried - given recent threats by various unhinged people! I might make a new account actually.

PS Yves Rocher arrived (very quick service!) but a little disappointing - the Vanilla Bourbon was out of stock despite me being able to order it Hmm The Cherry one smells of nothing at all, I've tried a mouilette so it's not just my hoovery skin. Other two are nice. Has anyone ever returned anything to them? Will sell on eBay if not, unless anyone here wants to try it? 100ml cherry boost EDT.

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 07/02/2019 12:24

Ds got an offer! Grin

So, so, so relieved. Such a weight off. It's a very achievable conditional offer which he should have no trouble meeting. My god, it's like a weight has been lifted. He is overjoyed - he can't wait to leave his current school as the pressure is immense and anything less than 7-9 is a failure.

PHEW!!!!

Destiel · 07/02/2019 12:54

Great news maud

Ds1 has 2 conditional offers and haven't heard back from the 3rd.

Luckily he isn't bothered about that one

auberginesrus · 07/02/2019 16:10

Thanks for the heads up on the account thing Floofy and Judy I have deleted any addresses I still had in my inbox.

Also off to college with ds1 tonight, he already has a conditional offer but they want to now interview him and discuss course choices - parents expected to attend! We have another one next week for his first choice so this will be a good practice Grin

SOTD Nomade - I'm starting to bore myself, need to mix things up a bit

auberginesrus · 07/02/2019 16:11

PS Maud v pleased for your ds!

KaliforniaDreamz · 07/02/2019 20:26

I saw that site stuff this morning but was rushing (funeral) sad sad day kept sniffing my old lady Timeless wrist for comfort.

glad to hear about the 6th form place xx

MrsMoggs · 07/02/2019 20:35

Great news Maud. Good luck Aubergines.

Have just done an emergency NC, plus have deleted everything, ever, from inbox and sent items.

Regulars will hopefully recognise the appalling spelling and taste in vintage bargains...PM me if in doubt. Now it's February I'm off to investigate a Papillon sample set Wink.

MrsMoggs · 07/02/2019 20:36

Sorry for your loss Kalifornia Flowers

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 07/02/2019 20:48

Hi, Ive lurked a bit and used to join in on past threads (but am now too skint to buy anything new. Sob) but need some advice. Dd has important birthday looming and as part of present has asked for perfume. Her signature was always original Chloe, but has grown out of it. Going out perfume is Miss Dior, but wants something fresh and citrusy. Tried to look at Fragantica, but keeps crashing. She's quite generous heavy handed with scent so nothing too high end. She didn't like Lemon (Mary thingy).
And to make you all drool, my vair rich mate went to JHAG flagship store, had a personal consultation and a specially selected travel box of scent. No, jealous, moi?
