ollie, it was an upside down version of that with blbrry layer on bottom then one crushed digestive each on top then a mix of light Philadelphia and 0% Greek yog with some sugar and lemon zest then demerara sugar on top. Delish!! Good luck Holland!

Oh my Blossoming - that sounds like pudding heaven! Will def try it this week!

hellsbelles · 14/06/2010 11:03

oh look Tracey. Leopard print McQueen!

traceybath · 14/06/2010 11:06

That is v nice Hells!

I can't see nap sale starting today now - perhaps its tomorrow?

hellsbelles · 14/06/2010 11:08

I really don't know what's going on? I've emailed the lady to find out. Oh well. At least we are all ready for it with our wishlist and baskets filled!

traceybath · 14/06/2010 11:19

What are you hoping to get Hells?

OllieWollieWoo · 14/06/2010 12:34

The Mint Velvet sale has also started here

traceybath · 14/06/2010 12:57

Lily and Lionel scarves on cocosa tomorrow.

NAP US site is already on further reductions - my boots are now $218.

hellsbelles · 14/06/2010 13:15

I am such an idiot. It's because I am such a nap addict...it's a pre sale (14-18th)...but no bloody code it just does the discount at checkout when I sign in so I can't post it on here.

If anyone (regulars only please!!) has anything they are totally desperate for maybe I could order it for them? Let me know and we'll try and work out logistics. Nothing that is marked as new season or essentials is included. And of course that's all the best stuff!

It's a 50% discount and I'm hoping to get: this, this, these, this and a few boring rick owens tops. I can't go too crazy as I'm losing weight and nothing will fit!

carciofi · 14/06/2010 13:30

Hells, could you please check for me whether this is on sale?

I hate football but my DH want to watch every match he possibly can, even though Ireland aren't in the World Cup.

I finally feel normal again after going to the gym and drinking loads of water. I didn't even drink much, it is old age!

MM, the spa treatments each day sound like a great idea.

traceybath · 14/06/2010 13:32

LOL Hells - love all your links!

hellsbelles · 14/06/2010 13:41

carcofi - yes it is. 50% off!

Trying to think of the best way to do this! Are you on FB? If so are you fleecy's friend and what are you initials?

traceybath · 14/06/2010 13:49

Hells - how much weight have you lost now? You're doing so well.

hellsbelles · 14/06/2010 13:51

Tracey (thanks!)...I guess I must be down about 8 or 9lbs now (though the weekend may have shifted it up a bit).

I'm a bit freaked out though...in the last few days I've started bruising really easily. I do anyway...but this is at a whole new level. I hope it's not an awful sign of vitamin deficiency!

traceybath · 14/06/2010 14:02

Wow - hells thats a lot to lose so quickly - you must be at your goal now - well done!

Weird regarding the bruising - although I bruise very easily too.

hellsbelles · 14/06/2010 14:04

it is fast! I reckon another 6lbs and I'll be fine.

Hope this Smythson sale link works...do you think it will lure Cake back

DolceeBanana · 14/06/2010 14:12

Hells love all those things! Fingers crossed! Btw, ordered the Dukan book today, so hopefully joining you and Plum....8/9 pounds on a small frame is a lot! Do you feel better/energised etc? I always feel/look slim dressed, but undressed is a different matter, and I want to feel slinky malinky all the time! Plum, how are you doing btw....

Not sure about the bruising...can you check it out, you should!

Tracey - are you doing things with DS2 though during the looooong break? Does he go to nursery atm?

carciofi · 14/06/2010 16:12

Thanks Hells, don't worry, I'll just keep my fingers crossed that it will still be available on Friday. I need to pay by credit card. I can get it at 30% off at Harrods but would prefer 50%.

Congrats on the weight loss (but yes, check out the bruising)!

eshermummy · 14/06/2010 17:08

oooh Hells I love your NAP links. Wish I was such a good NAP customer that they sent me the preview email too . Maybe next year.....

Would you be a love and see whether those Louboutin leopard wedges are 50% off (yes, yes, I know noone else like them) ? I just want to see how likely it is they'll go into the sale - I would ask you to get them but I am a notorious mind-changer and organising a return would most probs be a nightmare so will wait and order on Fri if they still have them (need a 37).

AllBuggiedOut · 14/06/2010 19:14

That McQueen leopard is fantastic hells - now that would be good for me bonding with my inner autumn... And you make a very good point esher; thank you. I need to start thinking not in terms of what it means I shouldn't wear, but of all those new ways to look fab Fantastic weight loss hells, well done.

Have ordered the DP green maxi, and I like the lipsy and firetrap ones you linked to fritzi. Teal is a good colour, but the FC one is just a bit too glam for the school run. But will look out for it in the sales for holidays. The wrap one looks a lovely shape, but I think it's too grey.

Somebody linked to a simple maxi skirt ages ago - have I remembered right that it was khaki colour? Or was it grey?

What do you think of these sandals please?

carciofi · 14/06/2010 19:22

ABO, I like them and they'd go with your new wardrobe.

Esher, I like the shoes too, I love leopard print.

Why has the general NAP sale started in the US but not here??? Grrr.

RedBlueRed · 14/06/2010 19:28

That is impressive weight loss Hells, am seriously considering ordering the Dukan book as my weight loss is taking forever, have managed about 1lb a week so far.
I hope you manage to get everything you want in the NAP sale.

I am on shop arrest until I go to France for my hols, will get some serious shopping in then.

Fritzi how did you get on with your colours? What season are you?

monkeysmama · 14/06/2010 19:31

Hells love your haul. Smythson link wasn't to sale. Thought it'd be miracle to get dp's father's day pressie cheap!

Those of you who have the Wonderbra my sister suggested-do you think it'd fit under the Reiss dress Tracey linked to for me. Have dress but none of my bras are discrete enough. Am 34F. Can't try sister's on as she is in Paris [green]. How high are the cups? And added push up?

monkeysmama · 14/06/2010 19:34

even.

Btw. Where is Cakey. Hope you're ok lovely.

carciofi · 14/06/2010 19:40

Just did the colours test while waiting for the rice to cook. I am a soft Autumn but relieved to see I can still wear black!

I am going to Nice in Sept, anyone know how the shopping is there? Maybe I should hold off on the sales shopping here and save my ££ for France.

MM, can you bring the dress with you and go to a lingerie dept?
