I've been to hell and back today. Right now I'm lying in a drunken stupor recovering. What have I been up to I hear you ask? Only clothes shopping with Father of the Children for the first (and last time) in 3 years! It was hell on earth. Firstly how can it take so long to try on clothes? In the length of time he bought a solitary suit and a pair of boots I could have bought my entire SS12/AW12 collection! Home shopping is most definitely the answer, why on earth did I not think of it earlier? It won't surprise you to hear he's ended up buying everything that was on mustgetthat in the first place!
Father of the Children purchased this Limited Collection Slim Fit 2 Button Suit from Marks & Spencer today and it looks absolutely stunning. He looked jaw droppingly smart and chic and all for change out of £100!.
This Double Cuff City Shirt from Boden is a classic. Choose between an amazing range - Blue Gingham, Blue Micro Gingham, Blue Stripe, Blue Windowpane, Lilac Gingham, Pink Micro Gingham, Prince of Wales and White....oh eenie meanie miney mo!
This Black Flyweight Chelsea Quilted Jacket by Barbour from Liberty is a classic design! I haven't seen one man who looks bad in this jacket, there's just something about it which oozes confidence!
These Eastwood Jeans from White Stuff are fabulous, great for weekend wear or chilling out after work.
Father of the Children treated himself to these awesome Autograph Leather Almond Toe Boots by Jeffery-West from Marks & Spencer. They are part of a collection by the UK's leading footwear designers, Mark Jeffery and Guy West. They are the stuff of dreams boys, go for it!
You never know if you purchased these Pull- Ons from Boden you too could end up with a six pack like the photo! It was of course the comfort and huge range of colours that drew me to this product not the photograph!

Just a quickie today as I'm preparing for Burns Night tonight. The Cock-a-Leekie is on the hob and the Tipsy Laird is in the fridge. I've just got to hunt down the haggis and wring it's neck, peel the neeps and tatties and all will be braw. For those who live South of the border, panic not, normal service (well as normal as it can ever be) will resume tomorrow! Back in the real world, Kate Moss was seen yesterday launching Mango's new SS12 collection, and what a collection! I seriously want it all, here's a selection of my top picks.
This Relaxed-fit stripes jumper from Mango is simply fabulous with it's boat neck, long sleeve and ribbed cuffs and hem.
These Fetish sandals from Mango are the stuff of dreams....say no more!
I just had to show you the back of these Capri pocket trousers from Mango, aren't they just perfect. Now will you go for White, Ice, Coral or Navy? You know at £22.99 a pair I may just be wild and reckless and go for more than one pair!
This Double Breasted Trench from Mango is a classic. Chic and smart it's a must have item!
This Leather Jacket from Mango is heavenly, I'm wanting it so badly it's actually hurting!
This Maxi Dress from Mango will look fabulous this Summer all that's required is a pair of gold sandals and you'll be turning heads left, right and centre.

You could cut the atmosphere at Must Get That Towers with a knife this afternoon. The patient is wearing my patience extremely thin. He was lying recuperating so I thought I'd put him to good use and asked him to find out something for me. Rather than quickly stopping watching sport on his iPad and eagerly assisting me he asked why I didn't just google it myself. I responded that as he was somewhat more idle at that exact moment in time he may find it easier than me. He then proceeded to send me this link - called 'let me google that for you'. Their blurb says it's "For all those people who find it more convenient to bother you with their question rather than google it for themselves". He thinks it's really funny, I don't. The quicker he's vertical and back at his desk the better!
This Orange Short Sleeve Jersey Dress by Sessùn from Liberty is sensational. The mid length jersey dress features a round neckline with exposed seam detail, short sleeves and a plaited leather waist belt with a buckle fastening. It also comes in blue and both look so divine we're torn.
This Tipped Blazer from Boden comes in Blossom, Blue Stripe, Ecru and Navy and will instantly smarten up an outfit in a blink of an eye.
These magnificent Straightleg Jeans from Boden come in White, Mid Vintage and wonderfully flattering Indigo. We're hooked!
I saw a piccie of Jennifer Aniston in some very flattering, leg lengthening wedged ankle boots yesterday so when I saw these Limited Collection Leather Lace Up Wedge Boots from Marks and Spencer today I immediately thought - yes please! We just have to decide between the brown, tan and black now.
We adore this Limited Collection Pure Cotton Hooded Parka from Marks and Spencer. It features a funnel neck with hood, long turn up sleeve and multiple pockets with flap feature. The model in the images seems to be so taken by it she's forgotten to put her trousers on!
Pretty feminine florals are going to be everywhere this SS12 so this Spring Tea Dress from Boden caused a flurry of interest when it sailed across our screen. The hardest part is choosing which of the 4 colours to go for, after much deliberation I think I've chosen, have you?.

Well how has your weekend gone? Ours at Must Get That Towers hasn't exactly gone to plan. Poor Father of the Children has been through the mill somewhat with his back surgery. He had a rather grim reaction to the general anaesthetic so the trials and tribulations of Friday are best glossed over. I did explain to him that I swear like a trooper when I come round from anaesthetic but that didn't make him feel much better as he says I swear like a trooper with no anaesthetic anyway - charming, i was only trying to help! He was released into my charge late on Friday night complete with rather fetching white knee high DVT socks. He insisted on getting up yesterday, came downstairs and promptly fainted and cut his head on the door frame! Since this failed break for freedom he has been a very good patient and has stayed pretty much horizontal. I must say all this nursing and caring has completely wiped me out. My nurses uniform is looking positively ragged with all the running up and down stairs with cups of tea, tasty treats and soothing words. I'm in full relaxed mode tonight so imagine how thrilled I was when I spied this wonderful selection of clothes in the sale at Hush.
Hush have a wonderful range of jammies all reduced currently from £49.50 to £20.00. Don't just take my word for it have a look!

This 3/4 Sleeve Dress from Hush comes in Grey Marl or Charcoal Marl. Wear layered over a long sleeve t-shirt and team with thick tights or leggings for a great look.

It's 7 a.m. and I feel like I've been up for hours but that's because I have! Father of the Children has gone into hospital today for an operation on his back and I had to drop him off at the unsociable hour of 6.15 a.m. Walking around at 5.30 a.m. just isn't right is it? It's too late for being up from the night before but far too early for preparing for the day ahead. He has been unbearable for the last 24 hours though so I was quite glad to hand him over to someone else's care. You see he had received a letter from his Consultant which included the line "on examination the patient was found to be an extremely fit individual". Well this has been shown to everyone; relations, neighbours, passing strangers, even the UPS man. He went as far as printing it out and highlight the text which is a huge event for a man who lives and breathes in a paperless environment! His gloating was silenced temporarily by the Bee Gees track Tragedy coming on the radio as we pulled into the hospital car park…..let's just hope that wasn't an omen…..To keep my mind off the situation here are some stunning new season Great Plains items currently available from Sarah Coggles.
This Great Plains - Nine Iron Grey Top from Sarah Coggles is wonderfully stylish. We love the single pleated shoulder, squared asymmetric neckline and drape front, don't you?
