Girls were finally allowed to wear grey cords at my school in winter when I was 15. I have never worn a skirt in winter since.

eeeek! I spelt Tartan wrong. That might be a big mistake if it's to a feisty Scot who's not very tall with an uncomfortably restricted bosom.

KeepServingTheDrinks · 25/08/2018 12:11

p.s. I don't know if this will work, because I'm not very good at techy stuff. But I might have added a link? I've done it because I've had an ear-worm for days now, and I didn't know why, but this morning I realized.

I believe in sharing the pain.

So, you're welcome! x

‘Laying naked on the floor’ with a torn off leotard, on the canvas, no doubt!

Hmm a cape you say, just a cape?

TattyFrench · 25/08/2018 13:38

I quite like that song Blush
You all seem to have your leotards sorted - I best go shopping.

I don't think Giant Haystacks wore a leotard Claw. Wasn't he wearing a furry gilet ?^

donniemurdo · 25/08/2018 14:59

Claw I think just a cape would be a bold and daring move which would certainly wow the audience, so go for it!

Tatty, what do you think you might go for? Fur? See through? Lycra? Crochet?

Shampaincharly · 25/08/2018 16:49

Giant Haystacks was wearing roadkill !

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 16:56

Claw my lovely, that's entirely your call. I'm sure you'll look amazing either way. And, actually everyone's averting their eyes already so as not to catch a glimpse of my DH in his mankini.

Tatty I hope you got to the shops and back on time.

Donnie I need the eye bleach at the thought of a crochet leotard.

Shampain - very true, very funny!

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:01

Right - cool wrestling name check
Leotard on - check
Damn eye patch (can't see a bloody thing) in place - check.
Novelty tiger feet slippers - check.
Obligatory MN popcorn - check (big enough to share, you guys)
Space of the sofa for my grappling hook and handbag - check.
DH preparing to come over to the computer to watch something I don't care for with his headphones (probably something with tits n dragons) - not yet, but he will be

BTW, I'm leaving space on the sofa in case my DDad wants to swing by and join me (although, if he did, he'd criticise every bloody thing I've done since he died, just like he did when he was alive, so probably a good thing if he doesn't) Smile

Right . I think I'm ready. I'm going to move off computer and onto i-pad in case any of you is actually watching with me, but I don't really like typing on it. Sodding auto-correct does my head in.

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:03

Oh, nearly forget - my poodle mullet is a DISASTER! that was a TERRIBLE idea.

I look AWFUL!!!!

donniemurdo · 25/08/2018 17:05

Who whoop Mama Grin

So tag team and something to do with all the women falling out tonight

Tartan Terror here with fishy leotard, stilettos, permed mullet and Maggie Thatcher handbag - an awesome sight, even if I do say so myself!

I am watching in my bedroom at the moment as DS2 had commandeered downstairs tv for YouTube. The boy has no taste- gets it from his dad IMHO

donniemurdo · 25/08/2018 17:07

I don't know how to name change Confused

DD has come in to remonstrate against me because she wants to watch Netflix on my tv

Your poodle mullet looks lovely Mama

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:09

Osprey??????

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:10

OMFG - the women

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:11

. There's a man wearing pants the exact same shade as my leotard

donniemurdo · 25/08/2018 17:12

I'm a bit concerned by how teeny tiny the men's shorts/pants are. One wrong move and we could see more than we want. Though I feel it means your DH's mankini will not be out of place at all

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:13

The talking man sounded quite posh.

donnie aka Tartan go to settings

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:13

Omg, the flying green pants!!!

donniemurdo · 25/08/2018 17:14

I did wonder if that would be the same shade Mama. Though the hot pink pants have just won

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:14

Have the rules changed since the 1970s????

TheTartanTerror · 25/08/2018 17:16

Hope namechange has worked

There are rules?

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:16

"Well oiled machines"

DH, who hasn't made it off the sofa yet, says he's been well oiled in his time

TheTartanTerror · 25/08/2018 17:18

OMG Crater is huuuuge

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:19

Tartan, tell your DD to go out and take some drugs or s.thing

And thank you for saying that about my hair. It IS growing on me

TheTartanTerror · 25/08/2018 17:21

She's 5 and wants me now to play with her toy animals. She says wrestling is boring.

DH has announced that food is nearly ready and that I'll have to come down to eat and show the DC a good example. I can't help but feel his timing is deliberate...

MamaLurve · 25/08/2018 17:24

Sorry Tartan. I'm a bit behind.

Your name REALLY suits you. X

The choreography is terrible and they're all RUBBISH actors
