And I take it back about fig neroli...it's rather nice!
I think I'll wear that quite a bit next summer :)

BR540 · 16/09/2019 13:01

I’m in my ‘meh, dunno what to wear’ favourite JLo Glow today, but my office is freeeeezing and I wish I’d worn something more warming and cosy.

Bodyonme · 16/09/2019 13:34

I'm not telling my address until you let me know what I can send in return hooo Grin

I totally agree about the MMM samples teta, on both counts!

The Aedes de Venustas sounds amazing, I want!

Sotd Jazz Club

Hoooo · 16/09/2019 15:14

Oooh I don't know! :)
If you have anything autumnal or wintery or ambery then that would be lovely thank you.
I loathe florals and gourmands (generally)

Hoooo · 16/09/2019 15:31

Oh, those mmm bottles were so annoying!!

I don't like the les senteurs ones either. Faffy, fiddly things!

Hoooo · 16/09/2019 15:58

If you have any 4160 white queen I'd love some of that.
A lovely perfumista sent me a decant and its now all gone :(

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 16/09/2019 17:44

Agree about Les Senteurs samples hoooo - fiddly tops and no labels so you have to keep them with the cards all the time

SOTE is Queen Latifah Queen. Boozy vanilla cosiness. Just what I’ve felt like all day.

Ds2s 1st open day for secondary school this morning!
Argh.

BR540 · 17/09/2019 08:03

Good luck *

We’ve got an secondary school Open evening to go to tonight. Bun fight to get in to type of school, we aren’t close enough...but I’m nosey and want to see it anyway.

I’m in a mixture of YSL Paris and Paris Premiere Roses for boring morning of meetings.

Hoooo · 17/09/2019 08:03

Thank you...you too! X

MaudBaileysGreenTurban · 17/09/2019 09:05

I am wearing Tauer Miriam to meet my 100+ new first year students. It will be an exhausting day!

Hoooo · 17/09/2019 11:47

Sotd estee lauder modern muse nuit

MotherOfDragonite · 17/09/2019 12:06

Good luck BR540!

SOTD here is Lattafa Oud Mood again. I really like it. It lasts wonderfully. I find it hard to describe the scent though!

I've got an unwanted extra week off because the toddler was meant to be settling in at nursery but nursery have made a mistake and in fact it's going to be next week instead. So I'm losing a week of work but I don't have any particularly fun plans to make up for it.

Maud, what is Tauer Miriam like? I've never come across it. Good luck for your exhausting day!

Hoooo · 17/09/2019 15:51

Hope everyone had a good day?

I'm shattered and it's only tuesday! 😮

teta · 17/09/2019 17:48

I'm tired, headachey, irritable and cross. Plus feel freezing today.
Apart from that I'm a happy bunny😁
I can't remember what I sprayed on myself this morning.
The kids are complaining I keep forgetting everything . Maybe I need to up the patches a notch ......

Hoooo · 17/09/2019 17:59

Dh home tomorrow.
Ds2 very snotty and coughy.

BR540 · 17/09/2019 19:36

Freezing here, too!
Didn’t like the school we visited tonight, which is just as well as it has an insanely tiny catchment area.
Going to have a bath and contemplate what perfume to cosy up in for some prolonged brain dead tv watching.

MrsMoggs · 17/09/2019 19:53

Joining Teta in the cross and needing to up patches corner. 200 mile round trip to encounter some really poor behaviour. (Managed not to be cross or grumpy, but one of the bizarre things about menopause is the ability to tolerate random acts of rubbishness seems to reduce; it's like my long-suffering filter no longer works so well...anyone else get this?).

Hey ho - home now, central heating is on and there is prosecco in the fridge. And 1740 MdS was completely fabulous all day. Smile

Hoooo · 17/09/2019 19:59

Oh god, yeah.
I swear like a glasgow docker in the car now...😬
Sote pp by the fireplace

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 17/09/2019 20:01
