I feel the cold so in winter I usually wear a pair of leggings underneath my trousers. I got a lovely pair of faux fur lined leggings in Penneys which are wonderful

I was looking to buy a new pair of jeans and they were all skinny :mad: I am a size 16 and a pair shape, which means I have a sizeable ar$e and even if I was a size 8, skinny jeans do not look good on me. They had no bootcut or even straight cut jeans. I looked in the tracksuit section and that was even worse. They are massive at the top and tight at the bottom and for some reason, the trousers ride up over the ankle, exposing it to the cold :rolleyes:

I couldn't find one pair of trousers that suit my shape and I'd be able to wear leggings under. If I'd have known this was how fashion was going to progress, I'd have stocked up a few years ago when clothes were normal.

Look through the charity shops, you can often find decent stuff in very good condition for a pittance, and not only what's in fashion now, but what suits your shape.

(I also wear leggins under my trousers!

:cool:)

Every time I broach the suggestion of not doing presents for Christmas this year with the family, I am labelled a grinch and whatever else. The thing is we have a family wedding on NYE, and with the added premium on hotel rooms that time of year* (its too far away NOT to stay over), coupled with the usual money in the card, and the fact that it's my fifth wedding this year, I cannot see the point of spending even more on token presents. Besides, we are all grown-ups able to make our own life choices.

Oh and when a 31 year old man says he doesn't want anything for Christmas, he means it.

*I know I could go air B&B but my mam block-booked rooms in the venue well in advance.

Could ye do a secret Santa?

Easiest solution to this is buy whatever you can afford and let us buy what they can afford.

When people ask is that rain?
When they clearly know it is.

Well, no. In my case, it was the cleaners vacuum cleaning the hall of the library with gusto. :P

I bought fleece lined leggings in Dunnes last year. Unbelievable for warmth.

The best part is that when you finally stop wearing them when it's mild again, people ask you if you've lost weight!

When somebody else uses the toothpaste before you do and doesn't put the cap back on. This leads to a solid plug of toothpaste blocking the tube.

I'm trivially annoyed that I'm only now discovering the awesomeness of Long Johns! New night shift meant I had to do something while they figure out the heating, and my god I've been missing out! They're up there with the sexiness of granny pants, but the boys are quite appreciative!

Got a new set of shelves today, flat pack of course. All went according to plan (more or less) until we got to the piece to put on the top. For some reason it doesn’t slot into place exactly like it should and after a while we just said we’d put it on and have it be slightly loose. TA that from my place in bed I can see he gap where it’s supposed to be joined to the side panel but isn’t.

Two TAs.

1. I had a long, stressful, nay enraging day. And I'm still awake. And I've to be at work early tomorrow. And the roads will be crapola.
2 Hailstones are falling down the chimney into my fireplace.

Health and safety? That's how we lost ours.

Widdershins · 12-11-2019 09:38AM

Depop website can be good for pre skinny-jeans-era jeans. I do know the struggle in a way, from being rake thin until recently. If you're much below or above a 10 or 12 skinny or straight jeans are never right are they.

My TA is that I'm trying to only think positive thoughts and this thread is too compelling. I need to raise my vibrations

TA'd that merely having a toaster in an office is now a H&S issue. Can people not be trusted to use them properly?

Eh.... have you seen the state of the toilets? :rolleyes:

Sorry, that was supposed to be about the state of the toilets, not a comment on your post.

I'm not even joking when I say that the most exciting thing everyone talked about when we moved into a new building a few years back is that we'd have a toaster again. And we were right, it's amazing.

My TA: boss asked me to look for a document that I KNOW was on our system a few years back. It has somehow vanished and I've spent the last 2 hours looking for it. I think the fcuker that used to work here has deleted it for some reason when he was moving stuff around (tidying up :rolleyes:)

When people are having fun and then along comes dry balls who's not in the mood for joining in but instead decides to ruin it for everyone hiding behind the I'm just following procedure rubbish when they forgot to apply common sense to a particular scenario. They then try and act like look I can have fun and am funny too and hey I was just doing x y and z in that scenario. Look just hold your hands up, you were being a grumpy bastard and inexperienced in your new role made a fuk up. I'd have more respect for someone who owned their fuk up but carry on in your pretend land there if that's what you need to hold ontoâ€‹.

Tldr people holding onto their comfort blanket when it's made of single use plastic. :pac:

Got up this morning to go to work, checked my phone.
Had a text from a friend's husband at 1.30am:
'Worried about A (wife) driving back tonight. It's freezing and she has a bald tyre. If you can, can you let her stay overnight?' Definitely addressed to me, but I hadn't seen my friend last night. Was about to text back and ask what he was on about, then I saw a Whatsapp sent at 6am...
'If B (husband) messages you just say I was at yours ..complicated will explain later'

...think my friend maybe cheating on partner

...I could very easily have blown it (none of my business!)
...also my place not the best cover for staying late on weeknight given I am a Monday to Friday office worker....

You would be absolutely shocked.

A TA of mine is people not washing their hands after going to the loo, especially those who have changed sanitary products!!

Don't apologise to me that your annoying ringtone is going off every 5 seconds when you get a text. Put it on fcuking silent if you know its annoying everyone!

freshpopcorn · 12-11-2019 12:17PM

When somebody sends you several WhatsApp or messages instead of just one message.
