Is that an All Saints cardi Ulrika is wearing on BB?

I love All Saints stuff but it just looks a mess on her.

I don't think so...only saw a few bits this evening as I wandered in and out of the lounge.

I will confess to very non MSE behaviour last week which ended up with a nice little something knitted and cleverly cut from All Saints in my closet.
The original founders no longer own All Saints....it was all a bit 'nasty'........but now own and design this label.

They clear at The Clothes Show and Stuart is usually on the stand to serve and assist whilst everything is 80% off.:o

It is just it was years ago when we considered a size 10 the ideal, nowadays it is a Cheryl Cole concentration camp size 6.

Yuk! Do you really think so?

Talk to a real man.

That explains why it falls apart after two washes now. I love the whole deconstructed stuff and All Saints do it really well.

Update on the Interview. Pointless. It turned out to be the journey from hell - low/thick fog, drizzle, tiny roads that were winding and you've no chance of overtaking except once every 40 miles (if you knew it was coming as it was short). So, arrived with 2 minutes to spare (left early, it just took longer than I thought).

Odd questions asked... so I asked them what frickin job it was ... SENIOR blah blah. Now, I've no desire to be a Senior anything thank you... I want to go and do a job and absorb their culture before considering senior anything. Agency had not sent me through the JD at all, job ad had not said/indicated it was a senior position. So, with their odd questions, I was clearly out of my depth as they really wanted somebody to take control of existing job-holders and ... have the instant answers to their existing problems. Clearly couldn't do that. It was a major firm, one of the biggest in the UK.

So, freshly absolved of the worry of "did I get it?", knowing there's no way, it was time to return home.

Six hours of awful driving, completely wiped me out. Got home and all I could do was sleep. Still kn4ckered today from the drive to be honest. Wiped out ... must be my age catching up. It was only about a 210 mile round trip, 6 hours due to poor road conditions/route, but that wouldn't have wiped me out 10 years ago

Another interview Tuesday ... what happens is the phone rings, it's an agency, they present you with a job and you go "OK, I'm interested" so they fix up an interview, then you get the job ad - so you see it for the first time after you've got the interview arranged. Well, this one's stuff I've never done before (so more blagging I guess)... spec includes stuff about comms, PR and strategic thinking/leading. Oh well, I'll turn up, see what they have to say. This one's location is very challenging (whole village only gets one bus/week and I think everybody's related).... cost of commute is about 20% of the salary.

That's a shame about the job.......but that drive would knock me out too.....I can't do the long driving either, not like I did years back.

Found out recently I can't hack commuting every day either .....you may get the next job, then one month in discover that too.:D

I have now re-sceduled my working week to suit me myself I and commute 3 or 4 days and only out of rush hour.....so getting in 10 ish and leave by 4.40pm, do the PO run down whitechapel and buy fruit and veg from, what I believe to be, the cheapest market in the UK. I have also found parking at the tube which, whilst not cheap, is a life saver on time....so total commute door to door down to 40 min.

Is it worth going to the next interview?

Whos Michelle?

I like curvy birds!

@ ws I thought Ulrika looked upset, i think Ulrika will win it now that Josey has gone.

I don't think Ulrika will win it.....and man is she skinny.......my DD got me addicted about 10 days back but she's lost interest now Josie's gone....but I can remember some of the people.

I missed 05 06 07 08 and 09 I think but I remember Michelle under the table. Nadia rings a bell too so must have seen some of another one.

The first one got me hooked from the second week so it's Nasty Nick to win for me.......he hasn't aged a bit either.

As a man i'll answer for him

12-14 is ideal

10 next but 16 is on par with 8

just my opinion and there is far more to wimen than body size.

I wrote it badly....they left the business they founded.....and it was all very nasty.....they were done over (IMO only). Allegedly.

I didnt really get into the "celeb" BB but i also lost interest when Josie went.

Not sure if i'll watch any more.
