Toasties enjoying sale buys and waiting for Santa

[Countmeout]

Here

We don't even know if it will be today!

Last year it started on 22 Dec - so who knows!!!! 🤣

@lordloveadog sadly no artichoke. My current choice is 3 onions, a small bunch of parsley, a bag of potatoes, 3 parsnips, a bunch of scallions , and a bunch of carrots. Carrots probably the most Toast like as they have the dirt and heads on. The packet of frozen cauliflower cheese in the freezer is unlikely to make the cut for juggling.
I need to go out again to try to find chocolate pine cones in Marks and Spencer. Trying to delay going until after 7.

Going out on a limb here but I am confident of 7pm this evening for kindred

I’m kindred and I had sale access on 19th December last year

So this one here: https://www.toa.st/products/silk-velvet-wide-leg-jumpsuit-obsidian

Looks amazing as a night out thing but I can't justify it as I can only envisage it being worn once or twice. But, then I saw the model wearing it casually with a jumper or cardigan. Do you think it could be worn to the office ? Junky loafers or boots, oversized cardigan on top? ( obviously not a bank or anything but a more relaxed office...) any ideas welcome!

Chunky loafers not junky 😂

@Nanasueathome Then I was robbed!!!!

Now I want some chocolate pine cones @Countmeout 🤣

I will wait patiently, then. Or try to ;)

Not seeing a sale!

I wonder if we are back to the sales on boxing day?

Huff

The most recent archive sale started at something like 8am didn't it? Maybe tomorrow at 8?

That jumpsuit is nice but again it is dry clean. Anything worn for work and/or which includes trousers will need regular cleaning. Personally, I have neither time nor money to be taking something to the dry cleaners every couple of weeks. It is a shame though. Same with the coulottes.

Why can't the just tell Kindred when it is? I mean after the last post for Christmas.

Well thank goodness nothing for I am out still 😑

That velvet marks appallingly if yiu so much as breathe on it. So wearing once or twice probably is about right!

Toast, why do you treat us so!

Chocolate pinecones!! @Countmeout

Not a chocolate pine cone in sight @mizu . I have a cheesecake on standby.

Is that all the velvet @NoCureForLove . I know the silk velvet does but the other stuff too? Is it not sturdier? I really like the jacket and skirt.

Glad I didn’t wait in . I am now all ready except for a turkey and ham which is to be collected. I feel I may have peaked too early.
A runner is going to hunt for the Pine cones at the weekend.

I’ll set the alarm for the morning. I slept through the first part of the sale last time it was morning.

The jumpsuit is silk velvet www.toa.st/products/silk-velvet-wide-leg-jumpsuit-obsidian
But the navy velvet jacket and skirt is cotton velvet so much more wearable I think

@Snowyowl78 @No1Mousie

Thank you, that is worth knowing (being able to request a discounted price if something goes into the sale just after buying).

I might even order my coat as well in that case.

@Countmeout feeling guilty now.

i bought 6 Chocolate Pine Cones last night. Got home, decided my eyes were bigger than my tum, so gifted them to a neighbour.

Assuming it is the M&S Chocolate Mousse ones you are talking about, they are definitely coming into store. I have seen them twice this week. But they almost attract a feeding frenzy as they are put on the shelf. They are clearly a popular desert this year !!

I got the velvet jacket yesterday and beware! It’s quite small. I got the medium and it’s a bit tight across the chest. I wouldn’t normally get a large in their jackets but I think it might be needed for this one. Prob sending back as wasn’t suitable for the intended purchase. Unless it gets reduced to under £100!
