  • Weather's fab again today, ds1(nearly 14) is off to do his duke of edinburgh this weekend (sob, sob) so have been sorting his stuff this morning, ready for him to pack when he gets in from school. I will miss him, but i'm sure he won't miss me lol (clingy mum syndrome) the house will be very quiet without him, the other three will miss him aswell.

    Today i am wearing my maxi dress from peacocks (after much discussion with hubs/sis/friend) i don't look pregnant in it!! Ohh the releif!!! got my silver toeposts from barratts and lots of mis-matched bangles. Havn't really got a handbag, just took my twiggy m&s out with me when i went shopping.

    As it is friday i'm going round to my friends later for a natter and a couple of glasses of wine. Havn't really got any plans for the weekend but i'm sure something will crop up.

    Floss, hope you have air con for your 240 mile trip!!

    Bye for now Sharron xx

    Today I am wearing a brown v neck top from M & S with a skirt from Peacocks which has different colours of brown in a floral pattern on it and black shoes. First time I’ve worn the skirt and the top and I am loving them together :D Have accessorised with some silver earrings which have brown discs hanging from them from Asda.

    Having a BBQ for hubbys birthday tomorrow so need to think about what I want to wear. Need to look casual but still as fabulous as possible as I will be the hostess – just hope this rain which is currently upon us has gone by then!

    Everyone’s outfits sound great today :)

    Never enough bags you know:rotfl:Off the top of my head I will try to list them

    2 Chloe paddington - one black, one beige (beige one has a burnt handle from catching alight on a candle, I tie a scarf round it to cover it but its put me off the bag cos when it burst into flames it scared me:()

    1 Chanel chainmail
    1 white Fendi spybag
    1 Gucci shopper
    1 Fendi clutch
    1 Fendi Shopper
    1 LV baguette
    1 LV rectangular (small) (daughter has stolen this)
    1 LV rectangular (med) new summer style, has orange underneath and lots of holes
    1 LV cream patent bowling bag
    1 Prada nylon across the body (daughter has also stolen this)
    about 5 different burberry bags (I used to live near the warehouse)

    Various other bags from French Connection, Hobbs and one from next.

    I am going to start a Mulberry collection next.

    I don't think theres space to include purses (which of course have to match the bag) and weekend bags:rotfl:.

    I moved house 2 years ago and had a huge clearout, this is the paired down version to say the least, I have very happy friends;)

    I've been a bag lady all my life, even as a kid but only had the means to go designer in the past 10 years or so, sometimes I save up, sometimes I buy second hand and sometimes I exchange. Before I moved I had a lot of contacts who would have samples etc and sell them to me for good prices and of course there is always the sales.
    And does yor other half know????

    He cant really miss them:rotfl:I pay for them myself and we're not sitting here starving because of my bag addiction so no problem:)
