DS bought me a perfume workshop for my birthday, bless him

SOTD is MMM Beach Walk. DP asked me if I was wearing suncream!

SOTD was Monyette Paris. I'm exhausted -- way too much on. Worried I'm going to fail my course if I don't get my essay in by Sunday though. Got to juggle it with work, DD's dance show, DD's birthday, and life admin :-(

I would be up for a workshop in October or later. Earlier than that would be tricky as I'll be settling DD2 at nursery.

Oh I would love a workshop too. Was seriously considering for my birthday in October...

SOTD was the drunk, forgotten ebay purchase of 4160 Tuesdays Be Careful What You Wish For, that arrived yesterday. A very successful blind buy: lovely fruity, woody oud that, being parfum strength, has lasted all day.

Oh! Oh! I'm an October birthday too!
Let's do one!
Lets!
😛😛😛😛😛😛

Well.
Oven disaster Update:
The company in fact decided to do what I suggested 2 days ago 🙄🤬 so dh and I legged it to ikea yesterday evening and got a new oven.
A kindly electrician wired it in for me earlier.
I've double checked there is no packaging inside! and washed all the bits and bobs and I HAVE FOOD COOKING AS WE SPEAK
So...just got to sort the insurance claim for cleaning carpet and curtains and some paint.
I'm having to spend my last day before our holidays washing all my soft furnishings 🙄🤬
Sigh.
I'm trying to be zen about it but failing quite badly

Sotd was Avon lbd weekend - really nice in this muggy heat

SOTD was 4160 sunshine and pancakes. I really like this.

Glad it's a positive update buffy.

@FloofyCatDoesBadThings Tah Dah! Doesn't it sound gorgeous! Smelt like oysters to me. This sample is completely untouched because I also got a sample in February and once was enough.

SotD MG Fire

SOTD is Merchant of Venice's Venetian Blue.

Perfume Workshop sounds a great idea.

Buffy that's a positive update.

Count you angel! Can we do swapsies? Off the top of my head I got a sample of Tarts Knicker Drawer recently which is looking for a good home if you like it, or anything else? Have a couple of Floral Streets too....

(I was so desperate to get my hands on some SM that I even went to the Etat libre concession in our local department store....and the staff had never heard of it I felt like a right dick )

Buffy glad you're getting sorted, what a faff you don't need though.

MrsM I shall look into that thank you - I do love surgical spirit! And the smell of those wipes the nurses use before taking blood etc.

Maud what a fabulous DS you have! I would totally be up for a workshop, I'm a nightmare to make it to anything I plan though (meant to be going on holiday in two weeks and I find out about my arm op (or not) on Monday...)

SOTD is Babylon Sunset, I think it's the honey I am loving, its sweet but a sort of heavy but not cloying sweet if that makes sense?

I wonder if we could get a workshop group discount?!

I'm out this eve and took the Armani Si Le Parfum that one of you Perfumistas sent me in a swap. This is gorgeous, am definitely getting another sample at least.

Oh floofy I love Babylon Sunset so much. It's beautiful.

Of course we can do swapsies, I'd be glad it's going to a good home. Got 9ml of TKD so don't need that but a Floral Street might be good, but not Chypre Sublime which I thought was neither a chypre nor sublime.

I didn't like Chypre Sublime either, and I love chypres normally. I think I have FS others, I think I also have samples of Centrepiece and Invisible Ben with some left in if they're of any interest? I'll have a peek and I'll PM you. Thank you!

Ooh cant I think that was me! I love Armani Si, it's one of my favourites.

I got my latest feelunique samples earlier this week and have been loving the Kierin Sunday Brunch one! It's bergamot and lenon, very fresh for this muggy weather. Has anyone tried that or their other perfumes?

Good oven update buffy, glad you're nearly sorted!

Hello smelly chums:)

Well. Interesting day. Ended up at the fracture clinic!

Broken big toe so I'm in a very fetching boot!

Oh buffy no!! How did you do it? I think you definitely deserve a new perfume this week

Body arghh I just ordered some Feel unique samples and didn't get that one. I got the Huda citrus one (as my teens rate their make up. Or something)

Forgot to say SOTD is Babylon Sunset (buffy this was to cheer me up for a broken arm and that didn't involve a cast, so you definitely need something good )

I tripped on ds2s football whilst hanging out my bloody sofa covers after the fire.
Grrrrr.
Oh, well.
I've taken some painkillers, got my foot up watching Federer vs Nadal on the bbc.
I've got so much to do in readiness for tomorrow....sigh.

Oh no Buffy you poor thing!
Stupid oven fitter again.

I know!
The curse of the oven strikes again!

Buffy I hope you won't kill me but I've just nominated you as my favourite MNetter on the
'Recognise your fellow Mumsnetters by nominating your favourite Mumsnet user to win Silent Pool gin' thread (it's a sticky in active)
As I think you really deserve the gin!

Oh Jaimie!
That’s so lovely of you.
I quite like gin :)
❤️❤️❤️❤️

You know, , I think you’re right!
Hmmmmm
What shall I get!?
Btw I’ve still got 9mls of WWDOOH and ROME 1963 going spare....
