Couldn't think of any sort of creative title, I'm afraid! Link to old thread

ella I like your shoes .. saw these espadrilles in M&S yesterday... I thought they looked really good and are cheap

not ah lovely pusscat.. we lost ours last year, so sad, i really miss him.. but not getting another for a while as intend to do some travelling .. also next doors cat comes and visits us most days now since a dog appeared in his house.. we think he is trying to move in , but are resolutely not feeding him, although he is allowed to sleep in our conservatory

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 11:48

Awwww lovely kitty! ❤️❤️❤️

Ella the espadrilles look great and suit you perfectly! I really want a natural pair but I’m resisting for now as I guess it can wait til next year given that I got the yellow ones this summer...

Really, really want to buy a few pieces from Toast but am also resisting for now.

My bag isn’t being delivered til Monday now but the denim jacket and sun hat have arrived and I think I’ll be keeping both.

cherries I’m excited about your Toast haul. I really want so many things but am hanging back.

In other news, this week I closed my credit account!! 🥂🍾 In future all purchases will be carefully made in a considered way, from available funds, or saved towards!

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 11:53

Huff the Gudrun jacket is lovely! 👍This thread is not good for my bank balance!!

neveradullmoment99 · 27/07/2019 12:02

awww...the cat looks lovely and reminds me very much of two cats that I have had. One when I lived at home [ around 16] and the other that I lost a few years ago now. Very similar colouring. Gorgeous. My children all want a cat and I have always had cats since I left home but decided no more just now because I also want to do a bit of travelling like Laska.
As for my toast parcels, well it was actually easy to return things @not. Once I looked at the cost of everything I was a bit Shock so it helped me focus on what I really loved and what I was just keeping because it was in the sale.

neveradullmoment99 · 27/07/2019 12:03

When I say losing my cat, I meant when it died!

Huffthepuff · 27/07/2019 12:05

Oh @NotAnActualSheep she is lovely! 😻Sure she'll be full of confidence in a few days

dontcallmelen · 27/07/2019 12:34

Ella hope Ds feels much better soon.
Not wonders if Dh will notice if I sell the house & downsize to a studio flat in less salubrious area, to fund a new toast habit coz that’s the only way I will be able to afford it, swallows key for Not & reapplies superglue😂

dontcallmelen · 27/07/2019 12:40

Not aww lovely cat I have a confession though, I’m really scared of cats I hate the way they move & jump I couldn’t be in the same room as one as they really give me the heebie jeebies, also scared of hamsters/guinea pigs/rabbits anything furry😱 have officially outed myself as a weirdo.

Ellapaella · 27/07/2019 12:46

@Ninkaninus thanks for the espadrille love.. these are very comfy and few and look excellent quality. I'm with you on the no credit - I don't have a credit card either and I find it helps me only really buy what I really really want. I also want to only make considered purchases from now on.. I'd rather have a few expensive but great quality items than a wardrobe full of cheap stuff I never wear.

@NotAnActualSheep yes that's the one! I do love it and am definitely keeping.

Ellapaella · 27/07/2019 12:47

Lovely cat @NotAnActualSheep

Ellapaella · 27/07/2019 12:48

@neveradullmoment99 those M&S espadrilles look almost identical. It's the neutral colour of mine that I love the most though.. will literally go with everything.

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 12:52

I re ordered the sun hat as it has been reduced by another £6 and since shipping/returns is free at Whistles I wasn’t going to miss out on that saving, plus I wanted a pair of sunglasses from there anyway which I added to the order.

What a change in the weather today!

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 13:04

Ella absolutely - I’m so glad to be rid of it, if I’m honest, and I don’t think I’ll ever have one again.

Where are your espadrilles from, I can’t remember now...

Ellapaella · 27/07/2019 13:25

They are from Crew Clothing. I got a 20% of as I've never ordered from them before.

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 13:35

well I’m glad you found some that fit and that you love! They look really good.

I’m bored today. Might have a rummage and see if I can get some stuff together to eBay for my Toast fund!

twosoups1972 · 27/07/2019 14:09

Afternoon all on this lovely rainy day!

@NotAnActualSheep I didn't realise until we got back the extent of the travel chaos at Heathrow. It was awful in arrivals, children sleeping on made up beds, loads of cancelled flights, luggage that was yet to be reclaimed from said cancelled flights etc. We were really lucky to get home when we did.

Dd's haircut went well, it's a bit shorter than she would have liked but has so much more shape to it and the curls look great. The hairdresser has advised against using Cantu products but recommended another brand that is £££. So not sure what to do now re products. @SoyYo do you use a diffuser to dry? We've been scrunching in some product and leaving to dry naturally up till now.

@Ellapaella I love your purchases! Jumper and shoes both great. I am still a Toast virgin but might have to do something about that now! How is your ds now?

twosoups1972 · 27/07/2019 14:11

Beautiful cat sheep hope she is settling in ok. We have a very much loved cat who's 7.

twosoups1972 · 27/07/2019 14:13

@Ellapaella what's the sizing like on the Toast jumper? I am tempted by the red one!

Ellapaella · 27/07/2019 14:57

@twosoups1972 the jumper is neat - this is a small, I would say size up for a slouchier feel. I am going to order the cotton mix jumper and we'll as I'm really impressed by the quality but will wait until after my holidays.
Poor ds is sleeping on the sofa.. I'm feeling a bit queezy 😥🤢

twosoups1972 · 27/07/2019 15:06

Thank you @Ellapaella* I might try a M. Poor ds and you, fingers crossed you won't come down with it. Bleach everything and drink cranberry or grape juice - it's supposed to kill stomach bugs before they take hold.

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 15:13

Oh poor DS! It’s horrible being sick. I hope you manage to dodge it and hopefully he’ll be on the mend soon!

SoyYo · 27/07/2019 16:33

It’s taken me a while to catch up as with rock festival haven’t had much time online. But today is rainy and welcome relief from the rain (we’re only a few miles north of Cambridge which was officially the hottest spot in the country EVER on Thursday at 38.7C 😅).
Had a great time yesterday too but today we may give it a miss as we’re both a bit shattered, and just return tomorrow for a full last day. Didn’t drink much either (lots of water mainly) but the late nights/uncomfortable sleep last few days have caught up with me! So a nice chilled day at home beckons.

Ella fantastic jumper! Love the neat fit, not tight just perfect really, and finally pretty espadrilles that fit!! Yes!
Sorry about the eyes. I wear contact lenses (blind as a bat) but once had an ulcer which really scared me so I don’t wear every day anymore.

Huff the culottes and bag outfit were beautiful on you as is my mate Gudrun’s boho top. Lovely on you! Can’t wait to get my final Gudrun sale bits which you’re to blame for as you alerted me to the xtra 30% off last weekend Wink

not oh a Cat! 😍 I adore cats he’s a very lucky feline and he’ll be a lovely friend to DS. Cats have such a wonderful energy! I wish you many happy cuddly times together.

len you’re not weird, we all have our little foibles...I’m very very scared of anything with a beak 🐔🐧🐦🐤😱😱😱

never and laska and all of you showing off Toast fabulousness I’m now tempted by the fab paisley dress which is probably ooo now but as a consolation for returning the silk Gudrun shirt maybe??

soups what an exhausting trip back, but indeed you were lucky to get back and make DD’s appointment as flights were badly disrupted with the weather here (what is it about GB and weather, can’t travel in the winter if it snows or in the autumn for leaves on tracks or in the summer as the ancient infrastructure melts down 😂). Glad DD was happy with cut, if the CG hairdresser cut a lot it’s probably because she needs it to give it the right shape and it’ll grow beautifully now. Yes I feared Cantu May be too heavy (it is for me). Try the Yes to and Naughty ranges at Boots which are often on offer and not as £££ as Bucleme but better quality. Though to me the Bucleme hair get and curl cream are worth the expense for styling. I do use a diffuser to dry my curls cause my hair take Hours and Hours to dry and I like the volume it gives my roots but CG method recommends drying naturally so no need to diffuse if DD prefers to dry it naturally.

The festival bands were great btw and more to come tomorrow. Thursday I wore the Hush red skirt with a white T, yesterday my Hush embroidered jeans with another Hush white T and the blue embroidered jacket I picked up at Brand Alley when the temperature dropped at night. Felt great both days.

Right I’ve rattled on for a long time now. Have a lovely relaxing weekend! X

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 16:40

soy when I read the first line of your post on the ‘Threads I’m on’ page i misread ‘rock festival’ (NOT going to say what I thought it said...) and I thought oh well how bohemian and adventurous soy is... I’m kind of relieved it was just a bog standard rock festival, though! 😂

SoyYo · 27/07/2019 16:44

nink I am a bit alternative but not that alternative Grin glad I made you 😂 though

Ninkaninus · 27/07/2019 16:46

Heh! I’m pretty relaxed being Danish, but still that sort of festival would certainly not be for me either!
