Christmas and the sales are sadly over but winter is still here for a few months yet.

Come and show us your cosy knits and woolly hats whilst we dream of summer - everyone welcome, the more the merrier.

Ah stokey that’s a difficult one. Totally get why you can’t come. Why don’t you just play it by ear and see where you’re at by the afternoon. You may both be sick of moving stuff by then and need the break.

Nice top biva

Stokey · 01/03/2019 20:38

Good plan QueenC, I'll see how it goes. Pop me a message if you move on!

BlairWaldorfLovesShopping · 02/03/2019 06:19

Morning. I'm going to have to drop out too😭 I've been awake since midnight, either coughing or dealing with coldy DS. He won't go back to sleep in his cot so he's asleep in the crook of my arm now. I'm so gutted but I must be more ill than I thought Sad I'm sure you'll all have a fab time, and have a few glasses of fizz for me!

libertyonhertravels · 02/03/2019 06:19

Hope you all have a great MU today - sending lots of hugs and looking forward to the next one!!!

Hoping to wake up to lots of round ups.

libertyonhertravels · 02/03/2019 06:21

Cross post Blair - the joys of life with a baby Sad

QueenCerise · 02/03/2019 06:37

Oh no blair. I was so looking forward to seeing you and scrummy pictures of ds

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 06:46

Oh no that is tough Blair hope you get some sleep today

I was awake at 3am and couldn’t sleep again, I’m coming - with my tired eyes, do excuse this

I might be a little bit late, think I stuffed up my hair timing. Highlights take ages so if I’m half an hour late please do order without me I’ll catch up.

I’ve been feeling a bit blue since my holiday so this MU is just what I need. Can’t wait to see all your friendly faces.

shopafrolic · 02/03/2019 08:09

Oh what a shame Blair it’s been years since I saw you. I hope you both feel better soon. Everyone sorry you can’t make this one, Stokey I’m keeping my fingers crossed you might take a break. I am stood in front of my wardrobe with no clue what to wear.

Longislandicetee · 02/03/2019 08:33

Oh no Blair! Poor you. Take it easy.Thanks

I will be there but I think for first time ever I won't be last woman standing. It's been an exhausting work week, where I have been on the go about 17/18 hours each day and I fly long haul tomorrow.

Shop, no idea what I am wearing yet - prob jeans, boots and jumper.Grin

shopafrolic · 02/03/2019 08:39

Good stuff Blingy stick to that - that's exactly what I'm wearing Grin My style game is not strong enough right now. I have a serious lack of going out stuff that isn't overly dressy. So I can easily do daytime mum, and posh meal out but nothing in between.

shopafrolic · 02/03/2019 08:41

Someone buy this before it goes

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 08:45

I seem to be wearing MU summer 2 years ago Confused

QueenCerise · 02/03/2019 09:09

blingy you say that now but wait till you’ve got a couple of glasses of Prosecco inside you Grin
My trains at 8.30 so someone had better be standing with me
Guess what I’m wearing? Navy jeans, navy blouse, navy jacket Grin

maradesbois · 02/03/2019 09:42

Morning!

Oh no Blair, poor you Sad

Marsha I love your commitment to summer!!

I have horrible stomach cramps, still in my dressing down sipping coffee but will be there! Defo going comfy too though.

Shop that Rixo shirt is perfect for you 🔥

Seriously hoping for a Stokey appearance too!

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 10:25

Looking forward to seeing you Mara!

It’s more hopelessness at finding an A/W dress, and an overly summery wardrobe - must try harder

I’m so cold right now

FedupNagging · 02/03/2019 10:37

Popping in quickly to say have a fab day - very sad to be missing the MU. I'd love to see a pic of you all if one gets taken - am connected with a few of you on whatsapp.

I managed to buy a few things on Thursday (from Hush & Jigsaw) but not what I actually wanted! Will link eventually.

It must be wishful thinking Marsha! Such a shame the weather from earlier this week didn't last.

I'm so sorry to not be coming Sad I think if it had been either half an hour's sleep or the cold, it would have been fine, but not both.

shop I know! 😢 it's because I couldn't come to any last year with my spd.

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 10:56

It’s rotten Blair to be so tired Sad I hope MrBlair takes over so you can nap

VivaVegas · 02/03/2019 11:04

On my way, glad it's fairly casual as boots and jeans for me too as a fair walk to the station!
Was out last night too so popping a couple of paracetamol to get rid of one Prosecco head before another begins!

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 11:07

To everyone coming:
Make sure you look at the pm address for the right address

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 11:07

As we’ve met at more than one of these places

kittyhello · 02/03/2019 11:27

Am on the train running slightly late. I've dressed for comfort and abandoned my leopard skirt.

Blair sorry to hear your feeling poorly and can't come, hope you get over your cold quickly.

Fedup enjoy your hols, Lib look forward to catching up with you in July.

See you all soon. I've written down the address as I turned up at the wrong one last time Blush

maradesbois · 02/03/2019 11:37

Am at the bus stop, may be there early. Am boiling and was wishing i’s Dressed more springlike, maybe a west london microclimate?! Jeans and boots here too Vegas Smile

justasecond · 02/03/2019 11:38

I'm on the train!
That's a shame blair hope you feel better soon. Sorry you cant make it either every.
Hope you can manage to come stokey even for a break from moving stuff.
Am in a non exciting but comfortable outfit

Is the venue the same as last time?

See you all soon

MarshaBradyo · 02/03/2019 11:40
