They do make it expensive. I'm hoping to make something for me and DD ( or more likely rope Mum in to do it) for BIL's wedding next year though.

Would be nice to have something different. That said, the last thing she made for me was my prom dress - I chose the pattern and fabrics and now I look back and realise I looked like Snow White on speed!

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/11/2011 21:59

But Snow White on speed could be just the ticket for prom night!

One of my triumphs was a black taffeta strapless dress. My mother was horrified, as (even now) she expects me to dress like Maria von Trapp.

Evening, all.

So much to see, so little time? Can?t wait to look at the new Hobbit video. It seems forever since we had any news of them.

Maud?s Big Outing sounds more and more fantabulous. So many artistes who have breathed the same air as our Man. Which reminds me, has anyone heard any more about the Stratford production of Robin Hood ?

Talking of whom, it is ironic, indeed, Spiro that it?s Gizzy who seems to spend far more time mourning Marian, than her so-called husband PLFW. I found it quite shocking really, considering it was supposed to be such a deathless love and all that. And it makes the ending even more bizarre.

Poor Vampy, what a vile bug that sounds. You must be in serious need of a doctor I see he is telling you to hold on, and he will be with you as soon as he can.

How is our other invalid today? I hope Mr Thornton?s tender ministrations prevailed.

Hmm, my jeans are not M&S, cos I bought them in a fit of swankery when I lost quite a bit of weight But they are mysteriously getting tighter day by day. Serves me right for getting ideas above my fashion station.

I like your £10 dress, Twigs. I can?t wear that sort of style, worse luck, they always hang off me in the boob area, due to not really having any.

At least I don?t have the problem of trying to find girl?s clothes that fit, are acceptable to the trendy young misses of the day and are not too pink. Boys? clothes are easier , I suppose, if duller and I find they wear out very quickly round the knees and gusset.

And still talking of fashion. My I put in my claim for the weirdest thud of the year award? Two cyclists going past in bright yellow fleeces and skinny black pants Blush

Ah, baths. What are they? Sometimes it seems that every time I get near a bathroom some crisis arises and I am the only one who can resolve it. And if I have the place to myself the phone keeps ringing or some demented person keeps banging at the door.

Interested in this thread?

I just guffawed at that Grin, it's almost certainly the worst look I have ever seen on him.

::sends men with lovely white, wraparound, sleeveless coat to the Island::

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/11/2011 22:11

Good evening, my lovely. Come on, impress us with the fabulosity of your jeans.

::vicarious glamour::

Yes, it's going to be the Night Of Quite A Lot Of Stars nd especially . And I, err, know quite a bit about the RSC Robin Hood because I've, err, spent some more of the child benefit on that too.

I just listened to that clip without the visuals, so just the two voices penetrating my brain.

::quivers::

DumSpiroSpero · 04/11/2011 22:11

I'm not dissing the yellow fleeces, Massive - I have a ridiculously long list of stupid things that make me do a double take - tall men with beards, camouflage trousers, grey BMW's...(raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens...Grin)

TransylvanianVampiress · 04/11/2011 22:13

Sure beats my thud at the bearded policeman a while back massive!!Grin

Thanks for putting a call into the doctor for me but I'm not sure I feel up even for the thought of a visit from him.

I'm in awe of all your sewing talents - just not mine at all! Find sewing machines go too fast for me!!Confused

Right I'm off to try and get better - don't want to waste weekend! Sleep well all

LadyDamerel · 04/11/2011 22:20

Spiro, do you have near permanent whiplash?

DumSpiroSpero · 04/11/2011 22:22

No, it's not quite that bad. I only tend to be affected by tall men with beards when visiting the big smoke and I don't see that many blokes wearing camo trews.

The BMW thing is a bit of pita though - I don't even like BMW's Confused!

LadyDamerel · 04/11/2011 22:26

::starts compiling plan to abduct Maud on the night in question and take her place::

There are far too many lovely twinkly, crinkly eyes in that clip, Maudy.

SupermassiveLBD · 04/11/2011 22:26

My jeans are no longer all that trendy, fashion has moved on since then. They're Sass and Bide, and Paige. And Gap of course.

So do we know who the RSC Robin and Gizzy are, Maud?

Poor Vampy. Fancy not feeling up to being under the doctor. I do hope you feel better soon.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/11/2011 22:27

::Totters back from the basement::

. A chip off the old block, don't you think, Spiro?
LadyDamerel · 04/11/2011 22:28

Well, it'll make for an interesting accident claim, Spiro.

'I crashed into that enormous juggernaut because I was looking at the driver of the grey BMW going the opposite way to see if it was Richard Armitage'.

LadyDamerel · 04/11/2011 22:31

I'm getting Thornton and Higgins again there, Maud.

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/11/2011 22:32

There are far too many lovely twinkly, crinkly eyes in that clip, Maudy.

No, sorry, LadyD. I have read that sentence several times and still don't understand it. Too many? What do you mean too many? How could there possibly be too many?

Tim Treloar is our Guy.

PassTheTwiglets · 04/11/2011 22:37

This is the RSC Gizzy Confused

LOL, think I just heard Jonas Armstrong on the Iceland advert. That's why PLFWs go to....

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/11/2011 22:37

I've just seen my first ad for Children in Need, which can mean

PassTheTwiglets · 04/11/2011 22:37

JINX!!

SupermassiveLBD · 04/11/2011 22:40

ROFL @ the insurance claim

TT looks like a nice unassuming chap, Maud. So is their Robin their Glamour Boy?

ComeIntoTheGardenMaud · 04/11/2011 22:42

But look where he trained, Twiggy.

LadyDamerel · 04/11/2011 22:42

Too much twinkly, crinkly loveliness leads to a ridiculously soppy grin and happy sighs that draw rather too much attention to oneself.

One pair at a time I can just about cope with if I exert humungous levels of self control.

Two pairs are beyond human endurance.

Marian

Robin

DumSpiroSpero · 04/11/2011 22:49

Robin's a bit of a lookey-likey isn't he?

Gizzy is definitely not

DumSpiroSpero · 04/11/2011 22:50

I am on the third disc of RH3. When is the one that goes back to their childhood Massive?
