dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 17:26

Never just had another look at the pics, I’m off the fence & on team second pair.

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 17:27

Lol never I don’t think it does, crikey I feel my age today😂

Laska2Meryls · 07/01/2019 17:45

Gin is the answer Len if its not dry January for you.. Otherwise I highly recommend the cupboard under the stairs (for you!) Grin

never and cherries other leather/Pu legging owners what are you wearing on your feet with them? Ankle or higher boots?

Ellapaella · 07/01/2019 17:56

Laska genius 😂I’m scuttling off to the understairs cupboard with gin & a blanket.

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 18:11

Aww I’m all confused now as I really like Ellas boots & they have a chain, I dunno I’ve had a hard day my brain is fried.

twosoups1972 · 07/01/2019 18:17

gin I am also on the walnut whips Grin Particularly like the M&S cappucino ones.

twosoups1972 · 07/01/2019 18:18

Oh dear melen I remember those toddler years well. Everything was a battle! What time is she going to bed? Smile

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 18:26

Soups about 7ish hopefully, Dh is bathing her & I will take her back to dd tomorrow, dd not very well at the moment so giving her a bit of a break.

Ellapaella · 07/01/2019 18:35

2.5 is a bad age Len! I'm so glad mine are through that now.. youngest DS has just turned 4 and is still prone to the odd tantrum. So tiring!
I wish I'd had my mum on hand to take him away for 24 hours every now and then 😁 you are a very nice Grandma to do that ❤️
Unfortunately my Mum is 260 miles away so no such luck. They are a whirlwind of emotions at that age! Then they improve but it all comes challenging again in the teenage years!

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 18:48

Aww thanks Ella so right she’s usually really good but she is very articulate & last few weeks she just wants to argue, we had a stand off over shutting a door earlier😂 she is so funny though it’s hard keeping serious.

EachandEveryone · 07/01/2019 19:02

Well my sale haul arrived and it’s not great. Zadie blazer would fasten at all accross my boobs and the material made my teeth itch. The Lorna trousers felt like flannel pajama bottoms so they are a no. The Vienna Wrap
Skirt is perfectly fine for £20. Bit gutted really as now I’m going to have to pay to send back.

Laska2Meryls · 07/01/2019 19:22

oh no Each have you any old lables? I keep mine

neveradullmoment99 · 07/01/2019 20:06

I like my dm boots with my leather leggings best but if I want something more dressy, ankle boots like the ones I have posted about. Did you order the 10's laska?

twosoups1972 · 07/01/2019 20:40

Aww melen she sounds lovely! I think Grandmas can be a bit lax on the discipline front and just enjoy her! You sound like a great mum and grandma Smile

twosoups1972 · 07/01/2019 20:41

I can't decide whether to keep £22 Asos faux leather leggings or try the Spanx ones for £89....

twosoups1972 · 07/01/2019 20:48

After deciding I DON'T need any more jumpers, I am now thinking I need a cream one. Love this from Mint Velvet:

Laska2Meryls · 07/01/2019 20:49

never No luck with any 10's sadly .. I have gone for the fake Spanx ones in wine .. hoping they will be ok, (also tried a v cheap pair from H&M , you never know..Wink)

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 20:54

Thank you Soups i am besotted with her, she is our miracle baby never thought it would be possible due to dd health issues, the one upside of having to give up work is that I can have her & take care of dd
Must admit I do like the look of the Spanx ones.

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 20:59

Oh my those Spanx ones, even flatten your tummy sits on hands hides card.

Laska2Meryls · 07/01/2019 21:00

never have you decided about the boots?
two Soups lovely jumper . Im just too mucky to wear cream..Always seem to drop something down me Hmm
Len yes Dcs are great , but soooo exhausting.. we usually have DGs by himself and have since he was quite small. (Ds and DGs mum split up before he was born so we have worked hard to make sure we see him.) hes 6 now but still a whirlwind! ,

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 21:05

Crikey, that tough Laska so good that you have managed to keep the relationship with dgs.

Laska2Meryls · 07/01/2019 21:11

Yes it wasnt easy , (not the best of situations she left him for someone else but is no longer with that person either ) but we have managed it.. I am a model non interfering lips completely buttoned , ex- MIL and his mum and I do get on !! (not that i'd try and claim that anywhere else on MN!! )

dontcallmelen · 07/01/2019 21:18

Oh Laska that’s really tough, good on you though managing to keep it civil & non interference hats off to you.
