Another beautiful pic of the sea cherries I attach one of “our” beach in Spain.
Well done melen! Pilates will really help with your shoulder pain and everything else. Just build up slowly.
After 3 years I’m now in an advanced class and I tell you it killed me last Monday! Felt all my abs after so fat tummy still but a firm fat one. I used to have terrible lower back pain which is the reason I started going. It is Gone! And I have a shoulder injury too (not to mention the broken now healed ankle from last August) but even with all that I manage and feel tons better for doing something for myself every week

SoyYo · 17/01/2019 20:07

Ah yes the beach pic 😎

Wails 😭 at even more beautiful sea pictures, glares out at boring London street view.
Thanks Soy will take it slowly & hopefully be able to build it up over time also will be good to go & do something for me.

FuzzyCustard · 17/01/2019 20:16

I love everyone's sea.

SoyYo · 17/01/2019 20:21

But melen London is fabulous too! You have everything at your fingertips there. So much going on!
Yes Pilates is also a kind of mindfulness in that you need to concentrate on the right posture and breathing so your mind stops wondering and that in itself is very relaxing (in between the repetitive tiny movements/exercises you get some lovely stretching too...I can literally feel everything loosen up at the end of a session).
So glad you’re giving it a go.

SoyYo · 17/01/2019 20:25

Right I’m waffling now (no trouble filling a thread with all kinds of non style related things me Hmm)
I bid you good night need to go to pick up DS2 coming back from Brighton/arriving at station too and then feed the hungry hoardes as DH is still not home from work.
Look forward to your fashion news tomorrow.

PorpoisefullyObtuse · 17/01/2019 20:35

Stunning Cherries! Wish I was sitting on a beach right now with a wee camp fire.

PorpoisefullyObtuse · 17/01/2019 20:40

Missed a page! And Soy!

Btw I got a few nice bits in Baukjen sale (can anyone help me pronounce Baukjen). I love their jersey - washes beautifully and perfect weight, always drapes well. I will post pics when I move them into circulation.

AFingerofFudge · 17/01/2019 22:01

No snow here (South West England) although finished work at 9.30pm tonight and had to scrape the car before driving home!

I have only lived by the sea once in France where I lived for a year in my younger days.

I have decided to style it a bit at work (NHS birth unit but we don't wear uniform!) so today wore my Toast pull on trousers (nicer than they sound) a Toast striped T-shirt I found in a charity shop and some Art red shoes. Have had a big clear out of clothes and decided to actually wear the clothes I love rather that look at them in the wardrobe and avoid wearing them in case they wear out!

never I have the Samantha trousers and I absolutely love them! They are lovely and cosy and I would say size down.

Haven't bought anything yet from the new Hush stuff but will be going to a John Lewis hopefully tomorrow so will have a look and feel!

GinandGingerBeer · 17/01/2019 22:26

Gosh new thread time already! Thanks cherries 
Very jealous of all your lovely beach pics and views. I'm as far away from the coast as you can be in the UK. Bang slap in the middle, I am very close to the Peak District though, so no sea but lovely views within a ten minute drive 

@Ellapaella, I'm very sorry to read on the last thread that you have some health worries, sending you good vibes chicken Smile

I'm bloody itching to buy something!!! Supposedly not buying until I've lost weight but I'm sure it doesn't count if I use a JL gift card! Grin.

Ellapaella · 17/01/2019 22:40

@FuzzyCustard I know Widemouth bay, have been there before, there is a great pub that does fantastic seafood just by the beach!
Everyone's photos are lovely ❤️

twosoups1972 · 18/01/2019 07:32

porpoise agree about Baujken, they have some lovely stuff. What did you get? I don’t know how to pronounce it either!

hendricksy · 18/01/2019 07:43

Isn't it's bawwken?

FuzzyCustard · 18/01/2019 09:20

I'm going for "bow (as in boat front, not pussy-catstyle) kin"

FuzzyCustard · 18/01/2019 09:20

(only cos someone in a long ago S& B thread said so)

ilovecherries · 18/01/2019 10:01

I’m having the same issue with this thread as I had once before. Basically it doesn’t exist unless I type in the url for it. It’s not appearing on the board index, it’s not in threads I’m on/watching/started. It’s not hidden. It’s just not there :(

@twosoups1972 - Ally top for today. Feels really lovely and great weight - skins over ripples!

Skims.

twosoups1972 · 18/01/2019 12:27

Looks lovely porpoise their clothing is lovely quality.

It's cold here today but I am determined to go for a run as I haven't been for ages. And dd wants to come with me which is a good sign. She's been much perkier lately, making me laugh with stories from school. It's looking very likely she will repeat the year now but school have said she can still come back when she wants. She's keen to go back to take part in a dance show in March with her friends. In one way, it'll be good for her and the pressure will be off work-wise. But I'm worried about her going back so soon.

justilou1 · 18/01/2019 12:52

Thanks for the photos ladies! I'm so very jealous of the snow! I was feeling very sad after going to the funeral of my best friend's mother, so your photos cheered me up no end! It was very, very hot today, and there is something very comforting and embracing about blanketing snow, isn't there?
As for the Spanx, the universe has decided that they are not for me. The Americans don't deliver outside of their continent (of course!). If I order them from elsewhere the exchange rate and cost of postage is bloody ridiculous, and if I buy them here, I would have to sell a kidney or one of my kids to pay for them. (And I'm quite attached to all of them, thank you very much!) Can you imagine spending that much on faux leather and then having to alter them? Forgeddaboutdit!
Oh well... I'll have to come up with a plan B! I hope you all have a lovely weekend. I have heard we are in for a heatwave. Oh joy. If you never hear from me again, you know why. I have either expired from heat exhaustion, or exposure G&T's.

Laska2Meryls · 18/01/2019 13:54

Quick hello,.The faces T came , its a bit short but the print is so nice that I am going to keep it anyway and have a go with some dye.. probably pink..

I am keeping the L even though t e M is fine because i think it would work best as a layer over a L/L long sleeve T or vest best .. reckon I can afford to punt £20 on it anyway and see what happens , .. may go for a tye dye effect as i think that will work best with the potential white stitching..

I probably wont be attempting it until next week anyway because DGs (6) is just about to arrive for the weekend!! it will be @ Laskaplayslego and @ Laskagoesscooting.. and @Laskahastogetupat6amandisgrumpy
But he is lovely and its great seeing him (for a few hours anyway, but we cant give him back until Sunday !! Grin)

Luckily his dad (DS will be here Saturday and staying the night , but we still have to get up with him because DS is a zombie until at least 8am.. !

Some exciting ( but scary) news here .. DH has finally told his boss he is leaving/retiring ! Eek! that means that I am going to have to live with him very soon !! .. Weve been together 25yrs but he has worked away all weekdays most of that time .. I may have to build a chalet in the garden ....(for me!!)

Laska2Meryls · 18/01/2019 13:57

Sorry for the surfeit of !!! in that last post and the odd bold..

I got my matte leather leggings today for ASOS and they are great if a little big , I've re ordered the 12 .. they are nice and thick on my bum which is a bit lumpy and they don't show any thing which is a win for me 🤗🤗

ilovecherries · 18/01/2019 16:10

I’m actually very nervous about the whole retirement thing, Laska. DH will probably go in August and while I retired from employment nearly 7 years ago, I’ve done a lot of consultancy since. I’m not really sure what we will do with ourselves. We aren’t golfers, bridge players, or any of the other things that lots of people seem to base their retirement around.

Hello all
Hope you don’t mind me crashing your thread?! I’ve been lusting after hush garments for ages and wouldn’t you know it my amazing husband was listening after all and has just sent me a voucher for £100 to spend. Now I have no idea at all what to get! I’d probably want to shop in the sale as I’m 6 months post partum and not quite the size I usually am but could be persuaded for something glorious
Any absolute must haves you think? I have a rather large chest so if there are any tops which you know work for the more generous up top I’d appreciate the steer.
Thanks
