To feel "posh"

Kickers always wanted them when I was at school back in the 90s.... but got Clark's shoes.

Donkeys years ago when I was a skint, depressed teen single mum, I was on income support and was fully breastfeeding dd. I got milk vouchers for her, which I didn't need for formula, so I used to get the milk, pour it all into a hot bath and pretend I was cleopatra. I felt incredibly posh until the nasty guy living downstairs turned my water off 😁. Gotta take that posh feeling from wherever you can get it 😂. Nowadays I feel hugely posh putting the heating on, buying petrol or nice fruit without worrying, getting socks from m&s.. It's that feeling of being able to meet needs that feels posh to me. I hope it always feels posh, and I hope everyone here enjoys every little bit of poshness they can get.

For me posh was having afternoon tea at a cafe for the first time when on holiday with my SIL and BIL about 12 years ago. I was in my 50’s and had never done that before!

Really enjoying this fun thread. But why are there odd posters popping on to point out that no in fact that is not posh?! Does it make them feel superior?

I never feel posh, I need to work on that!

Maybe my dogs are posh? Can dogs be posh? All my hope is on them 🤞🤞🤞

Buying 800 thread egyptian cotton pillowcases made me feel stupendously posh. They make me happy every night and morning, the texture makes me feel like a queen.

I once blew £29 on a Lulu Guiness Birdcage umbrella. I feel happy every time it rains and I can use it. It's so delightful. DH and I had a blazing row about "wasting" money on a brolly. He was wrong - I live in this rainy country and the value per use ratio is fantastic. It's been years

When DS1 started sixth form, and needed to wear suits, I took him to Charles Tyrwhitt to get them properly tailored/ taken in/ correct leg length etc. He is very tall and slim and we simply couldn't get anything 'off the peg'. While we were there he decided he really liked the cutaway collars and double cuffed shirts w/ cufflinks so we bought those too.

Funny thing was that he was always being mistaken for a teacher by visitors at the school etc.

Lokidoki75 am so with you on the posh frock thing! Have some gorgeous shoes I bought in my yooof to go with posh frocks ( ghost! From ghost warehouse sale) and I wear them now not at all. Sigh. I will do as another poster says ( sorry, can’t find it atm) and wear them to feed the chickens.which ironically are posh! Dh won’t let me get them!

I'm not sure posh is the word. But I did feel a bit "extra" sitting next to my son on his school Teams call with my hair in my new silk hair wrap, aeropress for a tea party, sat at our lovely new outdoor furniture- pool looking amazing in the background. I'm sure they'll be some parents thinking I'm a massive wanker now. In my defence I got the drinks ready (milk for him) with biscuits to bribe him out of the pool long enough and the pool isn't ours (no fence terribly lovely end of garden neighbours kind of story).

@FuckingHateRats I think your idea is just the best!! Can't wait until mine are a little old 💕

Buying Sylvanian families made me feel posh when the kids were small, they showed no interest 🤣, only rich kids had them when I was a child.
Aw!

Forking out for all the things that my parents wouldn't pay for for me as a child. Fuck it. My two have private school, music lessons, sailing lessons, a good bicycle each and don't want for anything (I know we are extremely fortunate and I NEVER take this for granted). The little darlings also have had good manners and politeness drilled in to them and can be taken anywhere and behave appropriately - which makes me feel better than all the 'things' I can afford for them. Manners cost nothing.

Almost everything I buy my kids feels posh, we were clothed in 2nd hand clothes from jumble sales, most our toys came from there too. My parents were not poor, my dad was just very tight and wouldn’t allow my mother to buy us new things unless it was Christmas.

Clarks shoes, only posh kids had them too so when dd started walking I felt posh taking her to Clark’s.

I've never understood

Judging by your post, you could have stopped typing here.

We have a bidet in our bathroom. I've often been told this is posh, but I don't really get why.

I've never understood the fascination with Boden, Joules and GAP clothes. We've had a few bits and always found them to lose their colour and shape very quickly and look a bit drab?!

Thank God! I don’t actually want to be posh, but I am feeling good because it’s so cool and comfortable in this hot weather.[/quote]
. I knew you were kidding

Oh dear, now we're on the "my dd likes ballet, this is evidence of my poshness" 😬
These threads always become so embarrassing.

Towelling shorts have made a comeback?? How about towelling playsuits. I’m going to have a look. Btw anything towelling never has been posh.

I'm so posh I spend my Friday nights bitchplopping my cuntishness onto MN threads to try and bolster my flagging self-esteem by pretending I am the arbiter of what's posh or not despite having only minimal reading comprehension skills and an utter dearth of social grace.
