I've had a couple go off . A vintage bottle
of Safari that starting smelling like cats pee and some Annick Goutal perfume. Also a decant of Heeleys Oranges & lemons which smelt fantastic before.
Wearing Crabtree & Evelyn Wisteria as Sotd in honour of my flowering wisteria . I took a picture as the wisteria was blooming in contrast with the most intense blue sky today. But the app won't let me post it.

Here - blue sky.

Wow, you have a beautiful view.

teta · 19/05/2020 21:40

We're really lucky @ Greenpop. We're right next to national trust hills that have been really quiet due to the recent closure . Sadly it's due to open on Thursday and the peace will be gone. It's like a beach on a nice day as hordes turn up to paddle in the stream and swim in the reservoir & ponds ( wild swimming place)

teta · 20/05/2020 10:22

I hope everyone is keeping ok?
@Mother you haven't posted for a while, and others? Did you have a good birthday @Lots?

Greenpop21 · 20/05/2020 12:27

My order of L’air du Temps has just arrived so I’m currently wafting around in that!

KaliforniaDreamz · 20/05/2020 12:32

Hermes grapefruit Rose is Sotd. Shame it really doesn't last for long, as it's so refreshing.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 21/05/2020 09:21

SOTD MMM Untitled - lovely, fresh, green.

I will catch up on the entries as soon as i can. Anyone else finding they don't have a minute's peace?!

yoikes · 22/05/2020 10:54

Well, it's hell week here (when will it stop ffs!?) So I'm both hormonal and fed up.

No sotd yet as I'm still wallowing about in my pjs.

Off to the farm shop later. It'll probably end in divorce...

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 22/05/2020 10:58

SOTD MMM Fireplace. It is cold and rainy here. yoikes I am also FED UP!

Hope no-one minds if I have a whinge?
I'm waiting for eye-surgery, which now won't be till autumn and my eyesight detiorates progressively . My lovely optician is still closed, so I had to get the eye hospital to bodge my glasses for me. I now have a massively over-corrected squint which is giving me a sick headache.
Home-schooling is going to shit.
STBXH is being a dick.
I'm eating all the carbs.
Thank goodness it's almost half term.
Please can someone tell us some happy news?

yoikes · 22/05/2020 11:18

judy I shall wear pp by the fireplace in solidarity 🥰
flora sorry to hear that. Still waiting for tests here that can't be done coz covid-19. It's quite clear that they will do nothing unless my retina actually detaches (which, arguably, will be rather too late...)
Sigh.
It's shit isn't it?

yoikes · 22/05/2020 12:40

Ok...showered and dressed :) sotd pp by the fireplace in solidarity with judy
Bloody hell, I love this stuff ❤
Very windy here...sunny though.

Greenpop21 · 22/05/2020 13:21

Cristalle has arrived!!! Direct from Chanel with free mascara sample which is fantastic. Needless to say I have drowned myself in Cristalle and can feel a headache brewing.

KaliforniaDreamz · 22/05/2020 14:38

I think i have demodex on my skin and i itch all over and as i have perfect to the naked eye bloody skin the doctor won't prescribe soolantra which according to the 688 million articles i have read is the only thing that works. i am hormonal and crying and home schooling can fuck off and if my DH mansplains how to load the dishwasher to me once more i cannot be held accoutable.....

SOTD is more teatree oil than Colette

FloraMacDonald · 22/05/2020 14:49

I have removed the bodge from my glasses so my headache is going and I'm regaining some perspective. Grin
SOTM was Imari, which didn't really last, so I switched to Tara Mantra by Gri Gri which is foul. Headache returning!

Greenpop21 · 22/05/2020 15:15

Ah sorry you’re having bad days. Flowers

yoikes · 22/05/2020 19:05

I'm enjoying wearing pp by the fireplace today...even dh told me I smelt nice!

Some good news for us today...we are getting our holiday deposit back! Am very relieved!

teta · 22/05/2020 19:28

I'm on my third glass of wine already. Nothing has quite worked this week and I've had enough.The only good thing was one of my customers was thrilled by us today and this really cheered me up.
@Flora have you tried an antihistamine and pure aloe Vera? Soolantra can be prescribed online but you will need an 'afflicted' photo. Can you manufacture something?
Sotd is Hermes Pamplemousse Rose and Malle's Une Rose reinforcing the rosiness.

teta · 22/05/2020 19:30

@kalifornia even !
💐 to all those with eye problems.
