There has been - ahem - Movement. But he's very pale amd lethargic :(

He's never had constipation before so its all a bit odd.

I'm going stir crazy after 3 days trapped indoors with him.

...thank you for asking x

That sounds promising, hooo. Fingers crossed that he's on the mend soon.

I hope your knee feels better soon too Judy, it sounds painful.

Thanks for asking teta -- I am feeling better. It's been a weird and stressful October! (Sounds like it's not just me either, perfumistas...)

I did discover Diptyque candles though. It's terrible. They smell so lovely. I bought a small Christmas one (Ambre Felicite) and it's divine. I feel like I 'need' a Baies one. It might be my reward for decluttering...

mother

Hoping ds2 starts to feel better today...

I enlisted my vintage Givenchy III for yesterday's interview - it worked! I now have a daft new job title and a shed-load more responsibility - for no more money of course, this is academia after all - but it's a good strategic move for me. Fingers crossed it doesn't turn me into a gibbering wreck within six months...

SOTD is Diorling. Crisp cold aldehydes for a crisp cold morning.

Hope ds2 perks up Hoooo

Congrats!!!!❤

Yay! Go Maud! You'll now need to DaBT to celebrate .

Hooo - that sounds amazing! What did you go for and what note did you add?

I have marked getting through my scary thing (and pay day) with a TK Maxx blind buy.

Do tell mrsm!
I went for extra sexiest scent with added amber
It's my mas gift from dh/kids so no sniffing for weeks! argh
Hoping my PS niche 3 box comes today...it's been a looooong week

Maison Cire coffret 5 x 10ml

Looks fab!!

Well, time to shower and decide on a scent...hmmm

Congratulations Maud, that's wonderful news!

Hooo, it's this one and it's veeerrry nice: www.libertylondon.com/uk/ambre-f%C3%A9licit%C3%A9-candle-70g-R305758006.html?dwvar_000638264_color=98-NO%20COLOUR&referrer=brands&listsrc=Diptyque

SOTD is Tauerville Vanilla Flash. Really loving it in this cold weather. Hats and scarves are out now!

That looks very interesting, MrsMoggs, and congratulations on getting through your scary thing. Surely with five scents to try, you're bound to love some of them even if it is a blind buy, right?

Snap @MrsMoggs.
Love Lyn Harris creations and Myrrh, Frankincense and Elemi notes so these look really exciting and different. They're not coming up under women's perfumes though and I would never have found them by myself.

Fabulous @MaudBaileysGreenTurban.
Well done on surviving your scary thing @MrsMoggs.

Congrats maud! Fabulous news.

hoooo Indoors arrived today - thank you! It is so interesting. And I can see why you love it, as it reminds me of MMM fireplace.

So glad you like it!

Great news, maud!

SOTD MMM Fireplace. I bought that WC Fireside candle, it is so lovely.

Thanks All.

Yes, Teta, they seem to have listed under candles by accident? I see Antoine Lie did one of them.

Have had a lovely day in Boronia - thank you kind Perfumista.

Wore a wool scarf and was picking up all sorts of scents (drove myself half mad trying to identify them), but it took me straight back to the scarf of a thousand scents! Whose scarf was that?

Sotd extra sexiest scent (again)
This is SO good.
Perfect for every day and every season :)

SOTD MH Gardenia (from sample)

2 kids still on half term. DD's birthday this weekend and lots to do so thought i would faff about on mumsnet.

happy friday all

Pure distance Antonia is Sotd. Powdery Galbanum and ivy, like a tamed Safari.
I remember that scarf @MrsMoggs, but can't remember who coined the phrase.

Sote avon timeless

Was it OC's children? Apologies if one of you is OC and I've got lost with name changes.

Yes I think so
