Soy 😂😂 enabling is working my finger is hovering over the button.
I think I will go for the eight, if not much difference in sizes & could wear a thin jumper or cardi under it.
It’s only a couple of days short of my three month no spend!!

Laska2Meryls · 28/03/2019 18:46

I was more thank once (in my misspent yoof ) in the vicinity of the Bigg Market on a Saturday Night !! ( wearing a coat , boots and jeans, but a lot were not ) .
soft Southerner here

I watched a documentary a while ago of Pretenders Chrissie Hynde and her style is what I aspire to when I’m not satisfying inner Bohemian girl. I don’t have her long limbs or slim figure so I’m deluded...
Boden have a DJ jacket in their sale that’s just what Chrissie would wear non chalantly with skinny jeans and I had to literally slap my wrist not to add to my order yesterday 😢 I mean grow up SoyYo you are not ever going to wear a DJ with skinnies Grin

Laska2Meryls · 28/03/2019 18:49

Come and join me in my muddy puddle Len its lovely here! - no Peppa jokes please

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 18:52

Hola Miffy 👋👋 I think you’re being super sensible with your SA buys (can you send some sensible vibes my way please?)

@len Just.Do.It You need a treat. How have you managed 3 months no spend? 🙃 you can always return if not perfect and yes you’ll lose the P&P but tbh the price for a Muubaa is bargainous.

Ellapaella · 28/03/2019 18:54

Oh the Bigg market Laska! You're more likely to find my teenage ds there than me these days 😁 my idea of hell now to be honest! I prefer the more sedate cocktail bars of Tynemouth on a Friday and Saturday night. And these days Whitley Bay is getting a bit of a face lift, we've got some lovely new restaurants and gin bars springing up all over the place.

miffy I really like Gapfor both jeans and Ts.. .

I really shouldnt have been looking but I did notice Oasis have some cheaper some looky-likey Moritz jeans

and Navy cropped chinos too with 20% off until Sunday .. At this rate I may end up ordering everything ! (Laska settles down further hippo-like in muddy pool)

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 18:58

Soy yy the rock chic vibe mixed with bohemian & for me a bit of Jackie O & Audrey none of which I can aspire too at my height😂
Laska am very nearly in the puddle with you & I am a very bad person as I still sniggering at the cat being flown through the air, very reminiscent of my Xmas turkey debacle.

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 19:01

miffy holiday wardrobe sounds fab, yy Gap T-shirts’ are really good.
Ella my ears have pricked up at gin bars, I have a confession I don’t like wine, makes me really tiddly very quickly & have had a tendency to dance on tables when I have ever drunk it.

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 19:02

Soy what blue one are you going for?

Ellapaella · 28/03/2019 19:05

Len I like a gin.. it makes me a very happy drunk and I don't tend to get much of a hangover. Have to admit though I haven't been drinking at all since January and had my first glass of wine last weekend and was very squiffy, my tolerance has gone right down.

These wise leg cropped jeans are all very similar to the ones I bought at the end of last summer. I was unsure about them at first but I absolutely love them, they are very flattering .

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 19:05

Ooh I’ve just had a fancy G&T (DH got me some fancy gin for Xmas...needed it after work 😅)
But I can do dancing on tables and wine too @len...don’t mind if I join you! 😂

Ellapaella · 28/03/2019 19:06

*wide leg!! OMG my auto correct on this phone is maddening!! It changes stuff after I've hit the send button Angry

@SoyYo I am that annoying person who is first up on the dance floor and last to leave it and tries to drag everyone up there with me Grin

OP posts:
dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 19:09

Ella I’m the same it doesn’t depress me at all, i go around telling everyone I love them.
Soy would definitely dance on tables with you!

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 19:09

@Ella me too! I’m such a happy drunk and even if sober I don’t need much encouragement 💃💃 Fiesta!

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 19:12

Snap @len Grin
Happy People Unite! 💪 I’m sure this is why I feel such a fraud in my corporate dog eat dog work environment...they’re all sooo serious about the slippery pole 😂

Laska2Meryls · 28/03/2019 19:17

I like a dance too! I also get very voluble (I'm told) and think I am talking complete sense!!

I like both Wine and Gin and am these days v partial to a Aperol or Campari spritz (just with ice & tonic ) or a Negroni since I discovered them both in Florence .. ( but dont do the latter much as Negronis are actually 3 drinks in one!.. and so, so very easy to drink!!) Blush

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 19:18

Laska I’m in the muddy hole with you, just ordered the jacket.
Soy yep happy drunks unite, I’m the same I refuse to take life too seriously, apart from brexshite which is seriously pissing me off the link you posted finally made me cave 😂

Ellapaella · 28/03/2019 19:19

Laska what is a negroni? 3 drinks in 1 sounds good 😋

OP posts:
dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 19:20

Laska I’m the same I think I’m making complete sense, but am I fact talking complete rubbish, Dh always breaks out into song so we make a right pair.

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 19:21

Negronis mmm something new to try! 👍 my favourite poisons (aside Malbec, G&T and a dry white like Chablis) would be Mojitos or Caipirinhas (Proper ones you get in Brazil). 🍹🥃🥂🍸🍷

dontcallmelen · 28/03/2019 19:22

Ooh I like Aperol as well, Negronis one is my limit any more & im practically comatose.

SoyYo · 28/03/2019 19:24

Yeay @len! I’m pleased you went for the blue leather biker it’s truly bargainous and we can always return rather than live in regret Wink
Your DH sounds like mine...always last man standing when it comes to Party Time. He is hilarious 😂
