FlouncingB is about 8

you were definitely missed when you absented yourself for a while

I'm sure you all enjoyed those extra points WinkGrin

I'll be 43 on Boxing Day, a whole 43! Aww looks like NtK is the baby here... Grin

Seriously though, thank you, bloods tomorrow and waiting for the phone to ring/letter to drop anytime in the next couple of days.

Honeyroar · 13/12/2020 20:37

Oh hello, I miss pages and pages of easy lyrics then arrive just in time for The shelf elf adding decades to my age!
Ps, Needtoknow you are amongst friends but there’s one you need to watch...

Honeyroar · 13/12/2020 20:39

Good luck tomorrow whippersnapperSteve. I’m taking my mum for bloods tomorrow too.

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

She doesn't read your posts, coffee 🤷‍♀️
Sorry. Blush. I’m being incompetent tonight due to Christmas stress overload. Who has/knows/has met a teenage girl lately? If you had to buy joggers for a couple of older teens you didn’t know and had been told they were size 10/12 and 14/16 would you go for the bigger size in each case?I thought this would be easy - assumed joggers would all be S,M,L so M for 10/12 and L for 14/16 but, no, every bloody pair of joggers is a specific size. And do I play safe and go for boring black for both - otherwise what if they don’t like my choice.?What shops should I go for? Hhas to be online.

Sorry, totally off topic but I thought some of you might have teens and be able to give me a steer. be better placed to make this sort of decision.

I am developing a jogger-induced migraine.

shinynewapple2020 · 13/12/2020 20:40

Good luck @SimplySteveRedux

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/12/2020 20:41

I’m a Christmas baby too @SimplySteveRedux! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

But I am ever so much older than you...

NeedToKnow101 · 13/12/2020 20:43

Good luck @SimplySteveRedux and I got my age wrong back then!. I'm 50 not 40 GrinBlushGrin

NeedToKnow101 · 13/12/2020 20:45

'Ps, Needtoknow you are amongst friends but there’s one you need to watch...'
Honey, don't I know it! 👀

NeedToKnow101 · 13/12/2020 20:46

And hope your mum is ok @Honeyroar 😘

shinynewapple2020 · 13/12/2020 20:46

No expert at all @FlouncingBabooshka but I'd recommend either finding a store which does do S, M, L sizings, or choose a shop which has sizings which tend to be a bit bigger and then go for the smaller size

WhipperSnapperSteve · 13/12/2020 20:47

Hope your Mum's ok, Honey.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 20:56

The name suits you steve. Isnit time for brushing those toothy-pegs?

Good luck to your mum, honey.

FlouncingB, I have a 19 yr old who loves joggers. She's a shade under 6' and skinny, so she struggles to find things that fit round the waist but are long enough.
She LOVES urban outfitters, who deliver but aren't cheap.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 20:57

Ahem

There's still a challenge outstanding....

FlouncingBabooshka · 13/12/2020 21:01

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf - thanks for the tip - I’ll give them a try 😘

NeedToKnow101 · 13/12/2020 21:03

@WhipperSnapperSteve love it! ❤️❤️

Soooo cross she's missed the theme just for her!
Honeyroar · 13/12/2020 21:10

Theme for who? I need updating on what’s outstanding.

Love the name change Steve! Mums ok, not great but not bad. Something neurological, but not sure what yet.

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 21:13

@ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf

Here's a mini theme for Honey, but the rest of you feel free to take note:

Ooo, your kisses (oo)
Sweeter than honey (oo)
60s (see what I did there, Honey???)

I'm so in love with you
I'll be forever blue
80s

Oh, you cuss around women and you don't even know their names, no
Then you're dumb enough to think that'll make you a big ol' man
70s originally, I think, but there have been covers.

Here you go, honey.

Just for you x

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 21:15

And the ones I posted earlier have all been got.

The theme is they were all the Christmas no 2, so points available by the bucket load if you can guess the Christmas no 1s

ClearingSpaceOnTheTrophyShelf · 13/12/2020 21:16

Will keep fingers crossed for a good outcome for everyone next week
