Had to come back to this - rofl at your dh's comments on the dress
I think you should wear the dress, remember this thread and laugh inside and you won't care what anyone else thinks... you know you're a comedian

Nip · 31/01/2007 14:42

Charmkin - you are a star - this thread is brilliant...

nailpolish · 31/01/2007 14:16

omg that is the funniest thing ever

the dress is ok but there are far nicer out there

Fimbo · 31/01/2007 14:10

I have just read this thread through and it is very funny.

But it it high time MNHQ changed the description of how to do links, I had to get help from MNR's how to do them as it confused the hell out of me.

JackieNo · 31/01/2007 14:05

charmkin - love this thread, and actually I like the dress too - go for it.

AuldAlliance · 31/01/2007 13:58

Yes, I hope you don't think I was laughing at you Charmkin. I was laughing with you, as you were being so persevering even though the links thing is a complete nightmare and I usually give up. It was funny because other people's interventions went wrong too.

Just going to try and post a link here myself, so you can come and snigger when it doesn't work and say I have really bad taste...

Flamesparrow · 31/01/2007 13:53

Awwww - I don't hate the dress, but wouldn't pick it for myself. M&S is normally bad on site, so thats not an issue.

The links was just fun - laughing with you rather than at you (you know you were laughing really... ) I like the way you never gave up!

pmsl - thankyou sooo much for bumping

AuldAlliance · 31/01/2007 13:36

Just bumping this up, because it's so funny and such great therapy.
P.S. don't like the dress much, IMO 80's fashion was a mistake the first time around and best left to slip into oblivion, rather than being revived.

filthymindedvixen · 31/01/2007 11:54

I am howling at this thread...

(may I admit I quite like the dress - but only as it reminds me very much of thigns I wore in the 80s when I was young and GAW-JESS!!)

Mercy · 31/01/2007 11:48

How did I miss this?

SOrry Charmkin but's it's worth bumping

MrsSpoon · 30/01/2007 23:14

ROFL @ this, don't like the dress, sorry.

SNOWBall4girlz · 30/01/2007 23:08

lol and my dd4 thinks I am crying
this is so funny
glad you have grasped the link thing
but I am sorry not mad about the dress either but tbh things do not always look on right on models staring out into space and will look fab with a brunette bob and boots
thanyou charmkins

hatwoman · 30/01/2007 23:03

great thread. I think the picture doesn't do the dress any favours - it's the kind of thing that I can imagine is very flattering, and which could look really good - but needs drop dead accessories - which the model hasn;t got (no idea what those would be mind...quite possibly some contrasting colour - dark pink maybe...)

welliemum · 30/01/2007 22:54

The dress is fine. Really.

welliemum · 30/01/2007 22:53

I am weeping with laughter, thank you, thank you, thank you, Charmkin.

This thread has tapped into my deep well of insecurity about posting links on mumsnet.

I feel a healing glow.....

moondog · 30/01/2007 22:48

Brilliant Charmkin.
You are hilarious (but the dress is minging.)

suejonezisdanielsmummy · 30/01/2007 22:44

Haven't cried with laughter for many years... until now
