    I resorted to pencil skirts on windy days. Although they can cause all sorts of other situations but let's not go there...:pac:

    some nice seamed stockings with that pencil skirt , and you would take over the company :)

    <Ahem> Sorry, I had a strange compulsion to jump through the window there - I seem to recall that happened before in here... :confused:

    My GF's dog.

    People who open the door of their car and bang it against mine, even when im sitting in the car. The ignorance and lack of respect is beyond my comprehension. Happened 3 times in the past month.

    To prevent this happening try and park next to a new car a 141 or something newish or big like a merc, bmw or audi. These people will usually not bang your car, not out of respect to you but to protect their own., honestly it works!

    I was sitting in my car recently when some fool [literally :D] did exactly that. He tried to blame the wind which made him a liar too. There was no wind but it was his responsibility to account for wind when he opened the door in any case.

    People who dont take responsibility for their actions annoy me.

    Just putting weights into the hem of your skirts
    Think the queen does it and duchess may be starting after those recent photos

    Gawd. I battle daily with water that's either too hot or too cold, straighteners, contact lenses (little b*stards), bus fare, keys, lunch, feeding cat, peepee excursion for dog, trying not to wake OH as I knock guitars and spaceships around the place...I think if weighted hems featured in my morning ritual I'd just offer it all up and go back to la la land :P

    That's surely not as exciting as it sounds... O_o


    I can almost predict at this stage that Film4 are going to be showing a "Carry On" film in the afternoon, every afternoon, and twice on weekends. To think there was a time when I thought they were timeless classic comedy. Now they're just tiresome and tortured :(

    I love this post! :D

    Contact lenses... Fair play to those, who use them. I have to be pinned down if I need to use eyedrops never mind lenses. Which reminds me - I need to get my eyes tested because I might need glasses. I haven't worn glasses in years except for sunglasses and even they are a pain in the head to shop for. I don't have the face for it :(

    I wouldn't except I have terrible eyesight. (-6 afaik) - the "doesn't see the bus coming towards her" kind, so I have a great incentive. Been wearing them for years, but had a few hairy moments in that time. for example accidentally putting hydrogen peroxide lens cleaner in my eye. Cue hopping around the house naked like a maaaaaad woman and screaming "it burns, it burns!" - OH had only just moved in too! :P Dont really recommend them!! :P

    I just seen a female person outside without a lead lined hem on her dress. She struggled when a little gust of wind hit her and started flapping trying to hold her dress down.
    She even dropped something but decided it was more important that she got indoors rather than try to pick whatever it was up.

    The difference between men and women.

    Guy wants sunglasses, sees sunglasses shop, enters and says " a pair of sunglasses please"

    Assistant: " that's forty euro please"

    Guy: There you go, forty euro, no need for a bag, I will put them on, thanks"

    whole thing takes 5 mins:D

    You have your clothes adjusted once, you don't fiddle around with them, you'd have to be there ripping out and sewing the hems again.
    Unless you mean very slightly heavier clothes would mess you up in which case there is no hope!

    I don't know why I keep posting about this. :p

    But then you were on about morning rituals and I was going "ehhhh what? If you did get them how would that be a morning ritual?" I mean, they are an actual thing.

    :eek:.....................:(

    I had an image of having to like, clip stuff onto the ends of a dress or something.....oh dear....I seem to have been living under a rock.*

    But seriously, are they actually a thing? As in, do a lot of women use them?

    *or a weighted hem maybe :)

    I don't imagine we wear enough skirts here for it to be enough of an issue that people would go get them done. I heard of them ages ago and then heard again when the Duchess thing happened. I doubt any tailor / alterations place would look at you twice for asking
    I tend to prefer bodycon or other skirts that don't flip up easily so not for me
    But you could

    There is also a new device for strapping nipples down, so they don't poke through a tight dress.....

    Kids that are too old to be in prams but who are still in prams. I passed a granny who was pushing a double with pram with 2 kids in it this morning. Now both of the kids were old enough to dress themselves and play outdoors, in my book that means they're old enough to walk and that the adults are just not prepared to slow down to child pace and let them walk.

    Hated trying on trousers this morning, shop mirrors are soul destroying, they force you to look at the bits you normally avoid seeing:(. Got some linen trousers though, done and dusted in an hour.

    On a cheerier note, I've just been watching my dickhead neighbour get a new washing machine delivered, sweet cheeses it was like watching a pantomime, with him as the horses ass. He had his 60 odd year old father doing most of the lifting, he'd be late 20's himself. He had to be instructed to do even the most basic of things like lift the machine off the ground and help the guy bring it into the house. Seriously, almost pmsl as I needed a wee but the show was soooo funny:D

    I think Kate Middleton was advised to get them after her skirt blew up when she had just left the helicopter on a recent tour abroad and a photographer took a photo of her bum.

    I'm a woman. :)
