@queen probably good for my credit card that they don't have much nightwear at the sale. I'll do enough damage spoiling my daughter and hopefully finding some things for me and a couple of people I am picking up for!

wearenotacodfish · 02/02/2019 09:15

Wow you guys move fast. I'm so jealous of all the sample sale bargains and the Ryder jumpers but I am trying to only fill gaps in my wardrobe and I already have a striped jumper from Oasis so no Ryder for me.

@Laska2Meryls your dog is beautiful. My boy has turned into a hell hound in the past month or so I am hoping it's his age and it will pass.

Laska2Meryls · 02/02/2019 11:56

That lovely hound is justlou's , not n mine codfish.. ..

Ive never had a dog have always been a cat owning family ( sadly not at the moment ) though wouldn't mind something like a border Terrier, but as a total dog amateur,and as we are hopefully this year buying a motorhome and travelling I cant see that happening ...

Laska2Meryls · 02/02/2019 11:57

off out for tromp in whats left in the snow in a bit . Its a lovely sunny day here , but I am sure v cold out there ! .. ill be wearing my lovely red Toast Jumper ..

UserN0me · 02/02/2019 12:47

Is there anything left @laska2meryls

wearenotacodfish · 02/02/2019 12:56

Well my eBay cashmere jumper arrived and it's been shrunk in the wash. I compared it to another Xs jumper I own and the different is laughable. I hate the whole rigmarole of contacting the seller etc. It's such a shame as it was so warm and snugly and the colour was lovely.

dontcallmelen · 02/02/2019 13:33

That’s really annoying Cod.
Laska enjoy the walk, snow has melted here but it’s very cold.
Soy hope Ds appointment went well & he came home the weekend.

twosoups1972 · 02/02/2019 14:55

Oh no codfish how annoying. I assume you put it on a wool wash?

twosoups1972 · 02/02/2019 14:58

laska I would love a dog one day. We have a beautiful cat who we all love and is actually pretty affectionate for a cat. But dogs are something different. I see so many dog walkers where we live, and I love dogs' enthusiasm for life.

twosoups1972 · 02/02/2019 14:58

Any thoughts on this dress please:

Laska2Meryls · 02/02/2019 15:09

I like the dress Twosoups I used to have something v similar from White Stuff ( a good few years ago now) which I wore a lot

So we walked up on te Highdown, and theres a fair bit of snow up there and a really chilly wind blowing from the north, but was really sunny , the sea looked fab and you could see for miles righ tover to the New Forest and out towards Bournemouth and Studland/Purbeck one way and Southampton /Portsmouth the other.

Stunning day , (I am really lucky to live here I know as the downs and cliffs are just 10/ 20 mins away from me walking and the Needles a couple of miles away (as crow flies ) .. Then we went down on the beach and spent a good quarter of an hour throwing sticks for a friendly dog!

Home now , a bowl of soup and I have warmed up !

Ellapaella · 02/02/2019 15:43

I tried that dress on in the shop just after Christmas @twosoups1972 - it's a really nice dress. Only reason I didn't get it was I bought a pair of boots instead.

dontcallmelen · 02/02/2019 15:55

Soups dress is lovely & a good price.
Laska sounds like a perfect day have just in from the garden, the wind is sooo cold left Dh & dgd playing on the slide neither of them seem to feel the cold.

dontcallmelen · 02/02/2019 16:00

Laska such beautiful views you have, if I go up hill from me I can get a clear view of most of the landmarks in London, from the south side of the river the shard, walkie talkie building, St.Pauls etc not as inspiring as the sea & across the coastline.

wearenotacodfish · 02/02/2019 16:11

@twosoups1972 the seller sold it to me knowing they had shrunk it, I've contacted them. I really like that dress.

We have two cats and a dog. One of the cats is my favourite out of any human or animal in existence even though I'm a dog person and the dog is basically a waking teddy bear.

twosoups1972 · 02/02/2019 20:52

I hope you give them negative feedback codfish

ilovecherries · 02/02/2019 21:50

That’s disappointing, codfish. Unless the jumper was felted though, and therefore obviously damaged, I think I might just assume that the sizing was simply off - unless of course the item is way off the actual measurements she listed. Hush sizing IS erratic, I find, and can vary between colours. I have two of the lightweight cashmere from them - one is an XL and one is a medium,and the actual size is identical when they are laid on top of each other. I also have the lightweight floraltrousersin a 10 and a 12 and I don’t see a discernible difference.

I will post a picture tomorrow there are no humans in existence with arms of that length/a body of that proportion.

whiskyremorse · 02/02/2019 22:23

Test as my last two posts haven't worked...

whiskyremorse · 02/02/2019 22:24

OK that's weird. I posted from the sale and once home and neither posted.

whiskyremorse · 02/02/2019 22:26

Ella I wanted to let you know that there weren't any v neck xs tshirts sorry, I was after some too. Hardly any tshirts mostly the peach round neck with a palm tree from a couple of summers ago. Obviously not a seller!

whiskyremorse · 02/02/2019 22:30

We had a good day but very tiring doing the return trip from Manchester in one day. Barely any jumpers left and one scarf so I don't think they spread the clothes fairly across the days based on what previous posters have said. But we both got great bargains and I will sort mine out tomorrow to see how much in value I got for my money. Lots of damaged and very old stock. But some from autumn 18, we both found a wide v neck top for example!

Ellapaella · 02/02/2019 22:32

No problem @whiskyremorse Thank you so much for looking for me anyway. Did you get any good bargains?

whiskyremorse · 03/02/2019 08:50

My haul
Peekaboo vest, stripy Jersey pj bottoms, 2 ivy dresses, LL vest, LL t-shirt, cassie dress, skinny lightening scarf, v neck wide Jersey top, leggings and Sylvia tie neck blouse current season not in sale. The whole lot cost me £65 which is the cost of the Sylvia blouse. Going to wash it all today then have a wardrobe sort to fit it all in lol

whiskyremorse · 03/02/2019 08:52

I took a photo of the sale room but it won't post. I think that's why my other posts yesterday didn't show as I attached it. Don't know what's offensive about a photo of boxes of clothes?
