Cube mk2 and WIR

[Guest]

It was Ian's last day at work today (he's been made redundant after 20 years with the same company!). He's let me treat myself with a little bit of his redundancy payout.

 

I don't normally spend a lot on clothes but I ordered everything I wanted from this season's LTS catalogue and boy did it feel good! How the other half live!!!! Must be great to go out and get what you want, when you want it. Anyway, I bought

 

a reversible gilet

a short trench coat

a long denim skirt that will look great with my boots!

the v neck jumper that the model is also wearing in the denim skirt pic (in chocolate) I already have a white shirt that will look the biz with the skirt and jumper.

Bad luck about the redundancy Poet.

 

I hope he soon finds another job.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

Sorry to hear about the redundancy, Poet . Hope he's got something else lined up .

 

Those new clothes look fab - you'll be the best dressed Omleteer around .

[Gamebird]

They say "every cloud has a silver lining" and I think you've just found yours Love the reversible gillet.

 

I wish him luck in finding a new job.

[Guest]

thanks, he's got some things in the pipeline so we're very positive. He's got a really good CV so fingers x'd!

Loved the shopping spree !! Hope your OH enjoys some R&R before anything else comes along. 20 years is a long time to be with one company - I'm sure it will feel a little odd to begin with but I'm sure he'll get used to it !! Good luck with the pipeline!

[Couperwife]

its a shame he's lost his job

 

you had a good haul shopping though

 

I love the reversible gilet

Hope he gets fixed up soon and love the clothes

[redhotchick]

Nice shopping spree!

A friend of mine was upset last year, having been made redundant after 17 years with one company. Now she has a great new job and wishes she had moved sooner.

Hope your OH gets sorted soon.

[missuscluck]

Did you write his CV in poetry??

Hope he gets something sorted soon.

 

Isnt it great when you get a treat. Puts a smile on your face. You will look FAB next season darling!!

[Faye&Ant]

Hope the job search goes to plan

 

I love the cape set, very autumnal

[Guest]

thanks everyone, for the good wishes about Ian's job. I helped him write his CV with some guidance from my sister (who does it for a living) and although it's not in verse, it's pretty impressive! I'd give him a job

 

I can't believe he put his mum's phone number in as a contact number though, some boys never grow up! Good job I proof read it!

 

Behind every great man, is a great (and smartly turned out) woman

[Rona]

What a fantastic treat and what a lovely, generous man you have , he so deserves to get a great job - once he's had a little bit of time off to spend with you and the girls.

[AnnieR]

What a great shopping spree,

it feels good doesnt it,

love the skirt and gilet.

[Ange1]

Sorry to hear about Ian, Poet.

 

I didn't know you were tall. I shop in LTS, sometimes as I find it rather expensive! I'm 5ft11" how tall are you?!

 

I like the denim skirt though, not to badly priced, what a lovely treat!

[jlo]

Hope things are sorted soon.

 

Must have a look at the new LTS stuff. Can't go too mad though as I bought a load of stuff from there in the sale not so long ago!

[Guest]

thanks for the nice comments.

 

I'm 6 foot 1" Ange.

 

 

There's loads of lovely stuff in the latest catalogue. They seem to have got their act together as I haven't liked anything for ages.

[Ms Marple]

Wow Poet, you are tall. I looked at some photos of yours somewhere on this forum and thought that you looked very tall - and elegant!! Commiserations to your husband,he is still clearly very young and something good will turn up. Enjoy your time together. Great outfits btw.
