to mourn the loss of my black leggings?

[BooyFuckingHoo]

i was getting away with the whole in the calf by wearing black tights underneath, but today, i finally sealed their fate. i spilled bleach on them. would it be really cheap to colour it in with a permanent black marker?

Are they irreplaceable then?

probably not, they were cheapos from george, but money is V tight at the minute. none spare for extras. black tights will suffice!

yes, why are they so special? do you live somewhere that has NO MORE black leggings?

sorry for taking the piss, i do know what its like to have a brilliant pair, mine were from river island and went through the same as you (minus the bleach) mine just literally fell apart at the seams and black tights no longer worked :(

ahhh i see yes i sympathise i splashed out for my river island ones and was very angry when they didnt last for ever long

it's OK. this is lighthearted mourning, take the piss all you want, i expected it!

it is just the end of a great relationship. we had been through a lot together!

were they by any chance the £6 ones that have bits like slacks that go under your feet? i have two of those and they are the best i have ever had

nope not those ones. i haven't a clue what tehy cost they were bought so long ago.

how big is the bleach stain? fwiw if that happened to my george ones i would totally colour in with a black marker

two dashes about a cm long each. so should i just colour them then?

I'm very fortunate to live near a market. They sell nice leggings for £2.99 so I tend to wear them and replace them after a few washes. I kind of treat them like tights really. I don't throw them out though, I wear them under jeans/trousers when it's really cold outside.

I had a pair of trousers for years that I had to colour in every time I washed them. If you love them, colour them!

I had a bleach mark on a black jumper once, and coloured it in very successfully with permanent marker. I wore it for years after that, just had to touch it up every few washes....

i would! i had a t shirt once that had white sleeves but black torso and my mum very helpfully tried to bleach the sleeve and it leaked onto the black bit so she coloured it in with marker you have to redo it every few washes though!

seriously, if you cant get any more right now i wouldn't hesitate

getting busy with teh felt tips tehn cos i really dont want to give them up.

I have a black jumper that I splashed bleach on, that gets coloured every time I wear it. The kids hand me their felt marker whenever they see me put it on

Colour it in!

I got the most amazing leggings from Next for £14. Control leggings that are more like thick tights. I would cry if anything happened to those!

YANBU - Similar happened with my only black pair too. They were George ones, got them for a quid in the sales. Had a small hole in the calf. Left a load of darks by the washing machine waiting for the first load to finish, came back 5 minutes later & the dog was chewing them Grrr!! I loved those leggings!

Colouring in is a good idea. also get yourself a new pair of leggings penny jar & pop the odd 20p, 50p & £1 in.

You will have enough for a new marker pen pair of leggings very soon.

I also wear old leggings under jeans in very cold weather as we walk every where, my best buy was a leotard to wear under my t-shirt to stop the wind catching my muffin top when strapping babies into the buggy.

Amies that's what happened mine!! bloody dogs!!

the coin jar is what is feeding us at the minute.

my coin jar is literally down to the coppers... and not many of in there either :(

not nice at all.

just realised i siad the 'whole' in the calf i really do have bigger problems than my leggings!

lol i was going to bring that up too but forgot!
