Thank you for all your lovely compliments, painting & messing about with furniture helps keep me a bit sane, as even when I’m not that well it doesn’t use up much energy & I find it quite therapeutic in a funny sort of way bit like gardening I suppose.
Soy safe journey & hopefully Ds appointment will go well on Friday & he will start to feel a little better💐

ilovecherries · 30/01/2019 09:17

Your furniture is so lovely, len, you’re so talented.

Soy, love the shrug, I have a very similar one from Pure from a few years ago. It’s a multi-size one but I rarely wore it when I was fat as I looked like a flying squirrel in it. I must dig it out and try it on now.

never, are you feeling any better yet?

laska, glad leggings are a success.

I’m exhausted, my nights are a disaster of insomnia and anxiety dreams :(. On the plus side, I’m just looking at my garmin, and I’ve run 60 miles in January so far!!,

Bonjour Hush girls, sitting in the Eurostar to Paris exercising my right to free movement while it lasts...
@cherries 60 miles! You must treat yourself to something to celebrate that milestone even if it’s only a new lipstick or hand cream. LOL at demented squirrel 🐿

@laska I want to see the new leggings too!

Today I’m wearing Hush practically head to toe (exception my black studded ankle boots) = Hush peekaboo vest, blue Paloma jumper, black kick flare trousers, velvet puffa and red tiger scarf. Comfy and casually smart (well I think so Wink)

Have a good day it’s cold but brilliant sunshine

Laska2Meryls · 30/01/2019 10:09

Chairs are fab Len have you done table legs to match there? We are quite boring decor-wise .
James so Pleased with the leggings cherries looks like they are the current ones according to the inner labor (and seller also sent me the original label) but they are definitely a bit thicker than the burgundy ones. Are your black ones also thicker ? Anyway they are great but I still need to lose that weight before I feel confident enough to wear them out .. fasting again today it seems to work better for me than other methods.. I've just been eating too much cheese on straightLC diet and giving up wine just isn't really happening at weekends ..
So my DH is now going P/T for a few weeks then that's it !! ( Yup scary) I don't think we will be stuck for things that we want to do though, but heck , I do need my space!!
In other news, still no sign of Toast jumper, but it's been posted. Am not going to sample sale.good luck those who are! My ££ went on those leggings!!

Laska2Meryls · 30/01/2019 10:12

Typing on phone which insists on changing what I write to what it thinks it should be!! A random 'James' seems to have appeared in my post above ( probably some other odd stuff also!)

justilou1 · 30/01/2019 12:40

Glad the MRI is over @Ella - I have one every six months and I dread them. I think I get more claustrophobic as time goes on. I'm in there for anywhere between 45 mins and 1.5hrs and I always get panicky. I think next time I'm going to bite the bullet and get zonked.

I hope those with lurgies are feeling better!
@len - the chairs look GORGEOUS!!! That pink is divine!
@Laska - Hush needs to name something after you, for sure!!!

justilou1 · 30/01/2019 12:40

@Soy - Hoping your hard work pays off and your children are well and happy asap!!!

Laska2Meryls · 30/01/2019 13:08

justlou I think you have just shamed me into not buying any more!!

ilovecherries · 30/01/2019 17:28

I think my black ones are thicker, laska. I’m currently in a slight panic as they seem to be going quite loose already (there is no way on earth I’m less than a 10. I’m hoping they’ve done their worst and they won’t loosen much more though.

I dug out my poncho/shrug thingy from Pure, and it looks very different on me than it did three years ago.

Anyone got to the Chelsea town hall sale? I’ve just got back from there - some good bargains

Ellapaella · 30/01/2019 19:11

Ooh @trader21c what did you get?

FuzzyPuffling · 30/01/2019 19:15

Tell me of your bargains so I can live vicariously through you people who live near those mythical things called "shops".

trader21c · 30/01/2019 19:54

Ella I got a Bronte coat that was ok for £70 not much different from the sale, a maroon wool jumper £15, a black long sleeved top £5 and three zig zag scarves £5 each. Kicking myself for leaving the cashmere leopard print scarf but I decided the coat is more practical for early morning waits for the bus! Dresses were £15 there were lots of sizes. Plenty of jumpers - cashmere boyfriend ones were £35, reversible star jumpers £15. Had to tear myself away to stop spending any more. Plenty of different sizes for anyone who lives nearish x

trader21c · 30/01/2019 19:56

Fuzzy the good thing about the sale was I could actually try the things on! The coat fitted at size 10 it must be 20 years since I took size 10 😶

neveradullmoment99 · 30/01/2019 19:59

So pleased the leggings were a success @Laska.
I am feeling a lot better today @cherries. Feeling like my old self again :)
Well I ordered the gorgeous cropped check coat. It is gorgeous!!! It is just so lovely. I ordered a size down and its perfect. I think the 12 would have been a bit too big. I have had my eye on it since it came on the website and it is the only thing that I really like from the new collection on the website.

neveradullmoment99 · 30/01/2019 20:01

£35 for the cashmere boyfriend ones? Wow. Anyone going near could get me one!!!! Wink I would like a medium. I have the red, charcoal and camel. What colours did they have?

ilovecherries · 30/01/2019 20:02

That’s the only thing I fancy as well, never, but have been hanging out for a code.

neveradullmoment99 · 30/01/2019 20:05

I will post a picture of it tomorrow. Its maybe only very slightly neat on my bottom. But only very slightly and with my fasting I need to shift a few pounds as between having my family and Christmas and not been well everything has been conspiring against me so I am starting come tomorrow with some fasting.

neveradullmoment99 · 30/01/2019 20:06

Slightly neat when fastened I mean. It is incredibly generous everwhere else. I could never send it back!!!

trader21c · 30/01/2019 20:08

The one I saw was the dusky pink I tried it on it came up huge on me in the M but was gorgeous ...

neveradullmoment99 · 30/01/2019 20:14

I think that may be the rose tan? Not sure it would be my colour but I remember @cherries had that colour in the Paloma or a similar jumper?
Why do they never have sales except for in London. So annoying.

whiskyremorse · 30/01/2019 20:41

So if there is any cashmere left on Saturday are people after small?

CrazyCrunk · 30/01/2019 20:41

@soy where is the shrug from it is lovely!

whiskyremorse · 30/01/2019 20:42

Although lucke Never has most colours already 😂

whiskyremorse · 30/01/2019 20:47

Lucky - must wear glasses or at least proof read before posting 🤓
