Toasties - the countdown to Christmas

[Countmeout]

Just getting a thread ready.

I've been looking through again @IlovePond I quite fancy the herringbone jumpsuit and the long poplin wrap shirt. I paid a chunk off my cc so its poised for action again 😅.

Oh goodness @ScottishMouse that's quite a dramatic way to spend Christmas. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

@ScottishMouse - oh no! But at least they know what it is and can fix it - that's something. Hope you get home soon and mend quickly

Did you pay for super fast delivery or is it just luck? I am off to track my orders but last time I looked they hadn't been received by Royal Mail

The emoticons are beyond me, I can't work out what covers an errant appendix, do I heart that or clap it.
Erratic entry to the sale doesn't need a crying/ laughing in your face to agree it's bloody irritating.
It's all weirdly passive aggressive or a bit sarcastic.

Anyway, reaching out to my anonymous Toast friends. Love this thread over the years.

I have put in two orders
One for the life I don't lead, why did I think I needed multiple dresses for events that would involve taxis, mingling and mostly standing up. Along with travel as a mysterious, glamous business woman in her 30s rather than the menopausal twice a year on Easyjet reality.
My second order is robust denim - from garden to supermarket to workshop to cinema. The actual life I lead most of the year.

@ScottishMouse hope the operation goes well and you recover soon.

Hope you'll soon be on the mend @ScottishMouse

@TosstTastic I'm with you re the denim. I live in my TOAST denim dresses at work.

When do us mere mortals get access to the sale?

No way am I going to buy full price when I know that others are getting a discount.

If you sign up for an account and sign in you get access now. At least I did.

Gosh that’s a shock @ScottishMouse . Are you having keyhole? I hope all goes well and you feel better soon. 💐

@Netcam I forgot to say I love those trousers on you.

I have an account, I've signed in and I still can't access the sale. I've made several orders this year including two for full price dresses 😒

Sorry, I was hoping you'd be able to get in but it doesn't work for me in incognito mode, how frustrating!

Hope you’re okay @ScottishMouse and everything goes smoothly and you’re home to recover soon. This absolutely definitely warrants a whole other sale order for recuperation ♥️

@SaffyRosie - if you know what you want, and you know it's in the sale and you order it now and pay full price, then they will refund you - especially as you're unlikely to actually receive it until after the sale goes live for everyone? I paid full price for some trousers in the summer and they went into the sale a few days later and I just asked customer services to reduce mine, which they did. I know it's a long way round, but if it's something specific you really want, it might be worth it?

Having been so frustrated yesterday at the lack of Kindred invitation, I got an early access email at lunch time today. I cant decide if that is a late Kindred invitation or whether Toast are actually creating a three tier system. Kindred, followed by early access 24 hours later and then everyone else.

Whatever they are doing it is irritating to feel that despite regular ordering some of us are just not good enough for a Kindred designation.

In total agreement about the York store. All the staff are really lovely and go out of their way to track things down when they are no longer available online.

Hope your op goes well @ScottishMouse. I can remember my husband having his appendix removed and he felt much better afterwards. Speedy recovery wishes x

I'm not in either.
Bah.

@ScottishMouse Hope your appendix is out and you’re home tomorrow
So you won’t be entitled to claim sick leave after the event if it falls in statutory holiday ?

@Countmeout and @mizu, thank you for the compliments about the trousers.

I find it quite interesting that they look nothing like they do on the model on me. Being 5'3 I have to imagine what trousers will look like when seeing them on tall, skinny women. These are the trousers: www.baukjen.com/products/baukjen-organic-wide-crop-pocket-front-jeans-dark-denim?country=GB&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAsaS7BhDPARIsAAX5cSDJ_BhTpG0R9HZincWN6hEGhEHjPoE7FRSj8kSH1WYHjgHHqHq_9-IaAr9YEALw_wcB

I'd actually been admiring the trousers that had been paired with this jumper: www.genevievesweeney.com/product/rae-chunky-lambswool-roll-neck-sweater-lime/ and was wondering where I could find some that would look like that on my short body. I think I did a fairly good job of finding a match in the Baukjen ones. The lime jumper's stunning too.........but I really don't need any more jumpers and already have a lovely Croft House lime jumper I can wear to almost recreate the look!

You're a genius! Thank you 😘

Was hoping for Freya dresses but after me whining, they aren't even there 🙄
I am pondering the fine stripe linen dress and Kantha pinafore...

Finally got my early access email and put in a (too) substantial order last night.
Looking at the website right now, there are already things in the sale that wasn't there yesterday. Ah well, same procedure as always...

Glad it worked. It's the Web developer in me!

Hope you get well soon - I really like the look of that padded jacket - very unusual and could look very stylish.
