Oh Ellie, I've just gone back to previous thread and read your post - so sorry you are forced to be in that situation, hope things will go up little by little. Yes you should keep all the paper trail, all the record, carefully. It did help my colleague when I was in the city - totally male dominant in 90s.

LMM - your hair looks lovely
KLP - We have been to Tuscany - Florence/Siena/S Gimgnano and Chanti for wine!! (How's shoe counting going lol!)

Hmmm, ratrat, sounds like you had a fab break! Never been to Tuscany; would love to go but maybe when kids are a bit bigger...

Weather most foul here in Dublin; tired from my Pilates class at lunch time and waiting for the clock to strike four so I can leg it home....Nice hot chocolate with a shot of rum and "True Blood" on my little DVD player, while DH watches Champions League......hehehe

Sounds like you have had a lovely trip Ratrat!

I have spent the morning wrestling with an Ikea Wardrobe. I ended up throwing bits at it so I have given up now. I only get 1 day off a week from being Mummy and I am not enjoying building furniture with it! Think I might go up to London next week instead.

^^^LOL - will you throw the screwdriver at your DH tonight Charlie? A wardrobe is quite a feat to achieve...

chloe-babe · Nov 4th, 2009, 10:56 AM

^ oh Charlie, its too funny! our daughter needs a new wardrobe and was seriously considering a trip to Ikea (not my fave place!!!), but dont think I can bear all the assembly that goes with it. The rest of her room is looking beautiful, but need a more grown up wardrobe for sure!

chloe-babe · Nov 4th, 2009, 02:32 PM

oooh I could crush a grape I am so excited

Just been to starbucks, and .............. The RED CUPS are in!!!

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas

orkneydaisy · Nov 4th, 2009, 02:34 PM

Snap, I had my caramel latte in a red cup this morning!

Nearly went for a gingerbread latte, but thought it was a bit too early to be so festive!

chloe-babe · Nov 4th, 2009, 02:39 PM

^ yep I was almost tempted by the gingerbread babe, but must confess, I didnt like it last year!! the nut one might tempt me in december lol!

That is so tempting! I managed the other 2 wardrobes in the house, and my bag cabinet - this one is going to kill me though. And guess what, it's DH's wardrobe

Just don't get the Elga Wardrobe for her! Pax is much easier to construct

Daisy , my brother was visiting last week and he took me to lunch in The Dome and ALL the decorations are up inside . I LOVE that place .

Am feeling rather pleased with myself today , I found the dress I've wanted in soooo long . After Neiman Marcus messing up my order , I got it in a teeny store in Edinburgh , and I'm thrilled to have dropped a size ...

orkneydaisy · Nov 4th, 2009, 03:22 PM

Flossie, your abigail clutch is on page 40 of Grazia this week, you are waaay ahead of the fash pack! You are looking super slinky in your latest pic, not that you need to lose an ounce! Congrats on getting your dress, its amazing when something like that happens!

Got my hair done today, darker red and restyled a bit, very chuffed!

Flossie · Nov 4th, 2009, 03:29 PM

^^ do a piccie ....
My dress was a real labour of love , I just can't believe I found it as it was sold out . I'll be wearing this all winter long !!

I saw my Abigail clutch too .
