They are so useful under dresses even when they are shorter and great when you need a lining for a shortish dress.

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 13:17

@Ella you look beautiful KEEP! 😍

@Laska damm you for reminding me of the BA blue leather jacket! I’ll have a look later though it’s now probably ooo in my size

@Not Thank You for the kind words on DS AND job. I really don’t want the job tbh now Paris is the only possible relocation so Sod’s law I’ll get an offer (still hoping not to save face Blush).

Ellapaella · 28/03/2019 13:18

Thanks Never - I'll have a look at those. Think it will be necessary as it's the skirt part that's likely to get caught by the wind and reveal all!

Thanks @SoyYo - are you not keen on Paris? Was Barcelona the other potion? That would have been marvellous! Would you accept the job if you get offered it do you think?

Yes Saturday’s March and TFS million crowd was magnificent.
Restored my faith in GB as I live in a nasty Leaver part of the country where I’m sometimes frightened of speaking to local strangers in case I get branded as “one of those scum foreigners”. My MP is Steve Barclay the t* Brexit Minister...need i say more 😢 waste of time lobbying him...

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 13:24

@Ella it was advertised with several possible EU locations inc Barcelona which persuaded me to go for it.
At first interview was told that had changed and was based in Paris.
I expressed misgivings about it plus said I was “no good at this and that” (always honest me) which would mean I’d have a stretch with certain aspects of the role.
And I still got put through to the final interview stage! Confused

A longer slip

@Soyo, they must really want you for the job!

twosoups1972 · 28/03/2019 13:28

ella agree with everyone else, the dress is beautiful and you look really good in it Smile

I am at home with a sickly 12 year old dd today. She woke up feeling sick in the morning and then threw up about 3 times over the next few hours. She has her dance show tonight which we are supposed to be watching Sad

Laska2Meryls · 28/03/2019 13:28

Ella Enabling blue biker
and another

Sorry, Soy
(and im supposed to be working!!)

neveradullmoment99 · 28/03/2019 13:28

Very pissed off that TMay is trying to put another vote out of her failed deal. Its a bloody disgrace.

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 13:30

Will I accept it if I get offered it?
I know it’s more money but tbh I want to move to Spain as soon as our house in UK is sold, all being delayed by DS moving back.
I’m really not sure...current job is manic/lots of stress already. It’s a highly political role as well and while I’m good at connecting with people and inspiring positiveness in teams I also find it draining and it sucks my energy too much leaving me too exhausted to have a life outside work. This is partly age related I think. As I get older I suffer fools less gladly Hmm

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 13:32

@Laska stop it! The first one is the one I’m lusting after Envy

neveradullmoment99 · 28/03/2019 13:33

Well, I suppose its all to do with work life balance soy.
Tbh, life is too short and although the money would be handy, would the hours you would need to dedicate be worth it? I work to live, not live to work.

Ellapaella · 28/03/2019 13:33

@Laska2Meryls I love that first one!😍

OP posts:
neveradullmoment99 · 28/03/2019 13:34

but its just a case of weighing it up. Might they change it to Spain or is that a done deal?

Laska2Meryls · 28/03/2019 13:37

As Mrs Doyle (or Len, as she is a fan) would say, Soy*, 'Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on, Go on,Go on, Go on ,cGo on, Go on'. Hee hee ..

Ive in Brexitland also. Our MP is a total dick, ...The interesting about the

Revoke petition map is it shows where I should move to if not the EU . (looks like Bristol)

Laska2Meryls · 28/03/2019 13:41

I am having trouble with the 'c' on my keyboard.. V annoying, it seems to be in a lot of things I type...

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 13:42

Ok @laska did it! I’ve ordered it now Blush I have 3 other Muubaa leather jackets (black, Brown suede and pale blush) and adore them all.
There’s always space for a blue one right? Wink

Yes @never I agree re life/work balance. I’m sure I’ll spend a lot less when I slow down my manic work as it’s a “reward” for my crazy life at times. I’m the main breadwinner so ideally need to keep going 3 more years till I’m sixty. Even that is a little early but we shall see when the time comes. As current job is Homebased with frequent travel I can move to our house in Spain and work from there at least 6 months of the year which would not be the case with the París based job...no brainer really even if a FR based contract would give me a better pension and better salary till I retire

twosoups1972 · 28/03/2019 13:51

laska that reminds me of a very old French and Saunders sketch where they are typists in the background of Grandstand.

'I haven't got an E on my typewriter'
'Use an A'

Grin Grin

twosoups1972 · 28/03/2019 13:55

ella what about a navy suede jacket rather than leather?

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 13:58

@soups sorry to read about DD being poorly...bless her she must be upset about her performance this eve too

Right duty calls and more TC’s 😅 catch up laters and @Ella if you’re thinking of the blue Muubaa for ref I take a 14 and it’s fine. You may need a 12 or even 10, the measurements in the webpage are accurate 👍

twosoups1972 · 28/03/2019 14:02

Thank you Soy and well done on the job interview even though you don't know yet if it's what you want. Looking forward to seeing the blue jacket when it arrives!

The clothes and general chat is distracting me from the panic I've been feeling since dd threw up this morning. I am emetophobic Sad

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 14:03

Yy totally pissed off May & her shenanigans 😡
I’m lucky live in a strong remain area, with a very good MP so wrong though when you live in area with an idiot MP & no conscience in ignoring remain voters.
Soy lol at Mrs Doyle encouragement, what is the sizing like on the jackets, I seriously may have to break no spend for a navy biker.

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 14:05

Soups aww hope dd feels much better soon & you too💐
