The bubblegum pink shirt was in it. And lots of aprons.
Are we now thinking teatime?

@garlicandsapphires - it is expected soon. The sale normally starts about now (first couple of days may be restricted access) and runs to early Jan.

Stoic123 · 22/12/2022 13:10

@Theteapotsbrokenspout - the Almond Neck tops are nice.

I tried the beetroot one in a shop (agree with@FiddleFigs about the lovely colour) but thought the style didn't quite suit my biggish boobs.

When saw the sale price - I was tempted to have another try though.

Thanks for the reccos on the craft check, I have the small on the way, didn’t think I’d ever be ordering anXS!

I was considering the Kate Sheridan pop bag but am wondering how it can be shinier than patent leather!

Stoic123 · 22/12/2022 13:24

This is the first time we've had the luxury of time 'mid-sale' to ponder next purcase (and ask each other for advice) without worrying items will sell out in the meantime.

If, of course, we can remember them all - also chuckled at @faustina's analogy.

My sale order that didn't arrive yesterday hasn't arrived today and when I look at the tracking on the DHL website it now says my shipment is "on hold" - I've no idea what that means Xmas Sad

dudsville · 22/12/2022 14:24

@savvy7 it looks like a high gloss finish, like a laquered finish, it looks freshly wet somehow. The size is cute and very useful though!

neveradullmoment99 · 22/12/2022 14:34

well my lovely dress bought in the sale last year has ripped. I think it was called the vibrant check dress. Really gutted. It has kind of grown on sleeves. Its under the sleeve that has ripped and a bit across the front. Strange thing is, I never heard it! I just lifted my arm and noticed it. This is twice this has happened to me. So sad about it. I'm not sure how I would repair it.

neveradullmoment99 · 22/12/2022 14:36

I had a lovely check tunic that it happened to but many years ago. At the time, I sent it back. Wonder if I could make it into a skirt?

neveradullmoment99 · 22/12/2022 14:37

There is a similar one on toast just now. The blue check one with the tied front bits. Weird.

neveradullmoment99 · 22/12/2022 14:37

Oh my trousers have come. Haven't given a proper try on as I need to go out in minute. Just shoved on. They are very very wide leg.

neveradullmoment99 · 22/12/2022 14:38

First impressions? I think I like them. They are quite big. I don't think I could size down due to my hips.

They do repairs surely for life? Are you near a shop that does?

@neveradullmoment99 - the fawn ones?

Yes, super wide. I had a trying on session this morning with various tops and still love them.

Saurus72 · 22/12/2022 16:40

Aaaarrrrrgggghhhh where’s the frickin sale?!? I’ve got about an hour until I need to go food shopping, please can it just start!

@ScottishMouse Did your toiletry bag arrive yet? I got mine earlier, lovely. I hope you like yours!

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 22/12/2022 16:43

Perhaps that was it a few days ago @Saurus72 - blink and you miss it Xmas Grin

Saurus72 · 22/12/2022 16:44

Well they should tell us then!

ScottishMouse · 22/12/2022 16:46

Just arrived about 20 mins ago @Saurus72 It is indeed lovely, though I hoped it might be a bit more structured, and lined with something wipeable. I may put it to another use though.
I got two of the small Hogla baskets, which I already had one of. They will be useful.
I think the bluefaced Leicester wool sweater may go back. I’m not sure the colour is great on me. Though I need to try it in better light tomorrow to make sure.

ScottishMouse · 22/12/2022 16:48

My money is on 7pm for the sale.

Saurus72 · 22/12/2022 16:48

Ah yes ok. It washes well IME.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 22/12/2022 16:52

ScottishMouse · 22/12/2022 16:48

My money is on 7pm for the sale.

That's what I would think as well. Wonder if there will be anything more in it.

My other order has not arrived, I suspect it will spend Christmas somewhere in my local delivery office.

If you can take it to Edinburgh they will do a beautiful repair on it. I’ve had some amazing repairs from them. It’s a long day trip for me, but very worth it.

AFingerofFudge · 22/12/2022 17:42

If you type sale into the search bar some things are showing up if you scroll past the first few that aren't reduced.

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 22/12/2022 17:45

Looks like older things, not the same as the other day.
