MNV- Vol 85 The Winter Warmer Edition

[FedupNagging]

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.

Blingy is my face
I would weep!!

Fedup they are sooo cute, I’m often overwhelmed by the cuteness of it all then buy some stuff to get past it ;

Dd is doing really well, it does take a while for the healing process but she’s on track

Love this snow!

Stokey interesting I like stuff like that

Dry great cuff

Dh is back from India and has the day off
Very nice

Morning! Today is DH's last morning in the office and we are off to sunny Portugal this afternoon escaping the snow! Anyone got any last minute tips for flying with a baby? We will be in business class so hopefully a bit of extra space will help. Then I'm back to work on Wed. Weather will be mid-high teens and sunny so I've just packed layers - jeans and tops and nice jumpers. Happy to report my white Levi's skinnies fit nicely- just my stubborn Acne and Topshop ones to go

Marsha so glad DD is doing well. Enjoy your day with DH

Blingy oh no! Is it completely ruined? No wonder you could cry

Sorry am on app and brain is full of what do I need to pack, keep reading back...

Dry love the cuff, perfect for you!

shop all the clearing must be so satisfying. Hope your DF is doing better.

Only 1 month to go until the MU

Oh my goodness how lovely Blair!!

I flew when dd was 6 months and it was ok as she still loved to be on me (still does!). Business will help, we did that too it was so nice. Have a wonderful time!

Blair have a lovely time in Portugal and hope your return to work goes smoothly.

Marsha glad dd is doing well.

Blingy I did a sharp intake of breath when I read your post. How is it?

Dry I couldn't see your cuff but your outfit sounded great as per.

Shop I clicked on the M&S link and there are some great items on there, was impressed. Sorry to hear about df's fall, how is he now?

Fedup I really like Stan likes in off white I couldn't open the 2nd link.

Have a lovely weekend all.

Thank you for the MaxMara sweater sympatheties. It looks a bit tight so shrank a bit and doesn't feel as soft. It did look like this on, ie a little loose. It's still hanging as I can't bear to look at it. I have worn it a lot over the past couple of weeks. Sob. I was at home and hid from housekeeper all day as I had nothing good to say! Thank goodness it's Friday.

Another Me + Em dress day...this time black worn under slouchy camel cardi and animal print scarf......these dresses are so cosy in freezing weather..... colleague said my dress was v sexy

Hi, looks like I'm good for the MU

Yeaay Viva will be great to meet you.

That’s fab viva.
blair enjoy the sunshine. We have a few days in Spain at half term and I can’t wait! Feed or dummy at take off/landing for the ear pressure.
blingy you need to say something in case she does it again.

I’ve made a ss purchase this blouse. Although I’m beginning to panic it’s not navy

I started my new job this week and although utterly exhausted I love it. Wearing a uniform 3 days a week though means that all my lovely clothes hardly get worn. I’m going to really have to think hard about any new purchases and whether I’ll wear them enough (I.e. the new pink top!).

Also bought a bourjois blusher. I usually use Bobbi brown and I don’t dont know whether I’m proud or embarrassed to admit that the one I’m using was bought for my wedding. 15 years ago . Haven’t got time to go to a BB counter yet though so picked up bourjois in boots but impressed with it that may not bother with BB replacement.

Oh i like the idea of that top on you QueenC.

I was hiding from said housekeeper because when i discovered it, I told her that all my cashmere is dry cleaned. Then she got defensive about it, and i just had to stop the conversation. She's just that kind of person. She only apologised when i said "I am not having a go as i know it was a mistake but i think i have the right to tell you not to put a £300 sweater in the wash". Marsha has met her and i think got the measure of her well!

Viva, it will be lovely to meet you.

I am shopping for our half term ski trip today. Just saw this ski jump suit that i bought last year for £750, and this year it's £900. That's really shocked me!

blingy I can only hope she’s otherwise good at her job?

For those of you that have a nanny, any advice?? I’ve got one starting on Monday and because of yesterday’s snow I wasn’t able to speak with the finance person as she wasn’t in the office. I’ve got absolutely no clue about how it works teally

No idea about Nannies Queen but nice top - pretty colour.

at your poor cashmere jumper Blingy. Can you still wear it?

I'm always shrinking knitwear - recently it was the navy uniqlo polo neck I bought at the last mu. Luckily I've learnt to size up with wool/cashmere so now it's a snug fit with bracelet length sleeves & looks great with wide legged trousers and a wide cuff bangle - phew!

The Whistles dress I ordered ages ago finally arrived this week and am keeping.

I'm about to order some sheepskin insoles but there are mixed reviews - someone on here has some so wondering which brand and are they any good?

What do you need to know about nannies QueenC? Is she an after school nanny? There's also a nanny board on here and the regulars on there were really nice (though haven't been on there in years!)

Before school blingy. I’m just not very good at managing people.

Thanks for the pink top love. I had a similar colour one a couple of years ago but had to get rid as it was so static and clingy.

I think the best thing is to be clear about what you’d like them to do

So I’d say do homework, music then dinner and no screens - but different for morning

Fedup lovely dress and QueenC great pink

I’m starting to mentally prepare myself for long haul flight next week - drew some diagrams for the family so they could reassure me business is the right way to go.
Feeling obsessed with seat space!

Viva that’s brilliant

Blingy that ski suit is hot stuff l, I don’t ski but would go to the snow for style like that

Excited to finally get to one, do you PM the venue to people? Be gentle with me, self esteem and confidence are not high at the moment thanks to my ar** of a H. However I love a Prosecco or 5 so all should be good!

viva I think marsha has organised this time so will pm with details nearer the time. Venue is usually convent garden way.
Actually we should book somewhere for afterwards instead of doing our usual thing of trailing round trying to fit in somewhere. stokey you’re always good with knowing places. Anywhere we can book for later?
viva I can meet you beforehand if you like so you don’t walk in alone?

Is it too early to start outfit planning

Lovely pink top Queen. Fedup I got that dress in the sale too and it's lovely but sadly it didn't love me!
Have just ordered a bargain Whistles dress from ASOS in the sale for £19.50 down from £99 so hopefully that's a keeper!

Thanks Queen I'll be coming into Charing Cross so nice and near.

Oh yes very near you can walk, I’ll pm you
