Hushista's stepping into spring...

[Ellapaella]

Hello all - new thread

Went to check on the creases and they fallen out, which is reassuring. I’m in the middle of finishing big report so in my classy WAH attire of Amies and cosy socks but quickly tried it on. This is a 12, slightly big on the shoulders but it will no doubt settle at bit.

never, the jumper is gorgeous. My only issue (from experience) with buying out of season clothes is that I can be sick of seeing them by the time it comes to wear them. Which is irrational, as it’s def the way to get a good bargain.

Quick one only time to open small parcel with attached jumper which I just put on with the joggers I’m wearing while working from home today. I have more work calls so will open big parcel later.
It’s the v neck summer jumper. Super soft and lightweight knit, I should be wearing a flesh coloured bra as my black bra shows through faintly but that’s okay as it is supposed to be lightweight.
Bargain in sale.
But the colour is not what I was expecting, more than “bubblegum” it’s a pinky light coral not sure it suits my light olive skin (warm)...
Yeay or nay?
Every time I try and buy a “happy colour” I come across a “but”
I tucked in a little at the front but it’s long on me, covers bum so would be good with leggings or jeans, maybe a skirt too

cherries WOW!! The jacket is BEAUTIFUL

I want it now! 😩 you must keep!
Must dash have a work call starting at 3pm

cherries missed the pic, oh my tis lovely
Soy I like it very pretty colour on you.

Oh FFS!, so the 10 Moritz are too small! ( which tbh I would have expected and why I ordered the 12s in the first place.. ) but the 12s I had before were miles too big!! .. so I think the pair I had previously must have been mis-labled, so I have ordered yet another pair of 12s...

Of course this new order is without the 10% discount but what can I do? I dont think I can change them again ?.. If the new 12s fit I shall call Hush and ask them if they will refund the discount ( but I bet they wont.. ) .

cherries I love the jacket !! KEEP KEEP

And *soy I think that colour looks good on you ..Did your DS sort out his pasport ok?

@cherries - keep@ Its beautiful. What size did you get?
@ Soyo - jumper is lovely.
I ordered the suede biker but its a 14. I ordered a 12 previously in the leather but found it tight over the tummy.

I got my bike back today ,legs ache just from riding it back from the shop (about 1/2mile) and up our road! (v gentle hill ) I shall take it down the bike trail tomorrow , (old railway track/flat).

But I have also been looking at indoor exercise bikes( the folding type ) today. I can see there are loads but I'd want one that would still be ok once I am fitter, Never what model is yours ?

Mine is a great one its a german make. I got it from Amazon. Its a skandika fitness. Its nice and neat and can be folded and little wheels when you fold it so you can move it from room to room.

I have it in white. I had the ultrasport one which is also good and has good reviews but I was unlucky and the 'computer' that holds the calories burnt, distance etc, didn't work and It was a pain to return it but the reviews say that its good as a cheap one.

I think the skandika is well built.

Aw thanks girls for the jumper 👍it does rather emphasise my huge norkage but unless I take drastic a la cherries action it can’t be helped. ‘‘Tis lovely and soft and main concern was would colour suit which you’ve reassured me on

@laska Bravo on the bike! And sorry to read about the culottes how annoying! I’d return for exchange again it’s not cheeky at all and keep your discount.
Yes DS got his passport at Durham and should be setting off for home soon.

@never I also love the look of the suede jacket...looks amazing!
Disclaimer soy already owns enough leather and suede jackets so do not under any circumstances enable her to buy yet another one

I need to go to 22 km over this next week. Have been doing around 16km but the ride I am going on is 22km [round trip] and its a week on Monday yikes!

@SoyYo and @ilovecherries love your photos - jacket looks great cherries.
Soy I love the colour, nice and summery.

Whats the resistance like? I keep reading reviews on them which say not that good .. I do like t e idea of a backrest though, which yours doesnt have ...

I probably wont keep it as its very expensive. So its the jumper or the jacket tbh. No way could I justify both. Its a size 14 though. So not sure if it will be too big across the shoulder. I had a all saints one and it looked great in the 12 but it annoyed me I couldn't fasten it [ we have had this discussion before @soyo!!] so I sold it and got more or less what I paid for it so wasn't too upset but I have the gorgeous burgundy one from next that I love and its a 14 and it fits me fine and can be fastened too.

You can get one with a back rest. The resistance is ok. I find that I cant use it on the lower levels as its just too easy so tend to use it on the three top ones - 6,7,8. Once you have been cycling its easy but its also about duration. I am probably going to buy some weights for my legs to make it harder. I think the issue is there isn't much difference between the 7 and 8 but it does me fine. Its certainly a sweat over it. The thing is, it jumps to much dearer - like hundreds of pounds after that so it is fine. I am happy with it.

That didn't make sense at the end. It certainly gives you a good workout. Very good seat, well made and folds. Many of the other ones are hundreds of pounds and don't fold. I will get weights when I feel I am at my limit but it does me now.

With backrest. It does hurt my back when I am on the highest resistance [8] Its maybe worth getting it with the back bit.

Ok thanks, found the one with the backrest , It does look good.. I know that DH will go though.. we had one before, huge thing from a gym which was refurbing , and it made a great hall coat stand..

Oh, suede one is lovely. Now wondering if i souls spring for another £30 for that one.

cross post ! thanks .. xxx

I did a bit of research and the one I have and the ultrasport were good for 'cheaper' end of the market.

Instead of, not as well as!

well that's the thing laska, if you get pissed off with it, you can shove it away. Its not that big. I have mine in my bedroom slotted between a bookcase and my chest of drawers!
