How poncetastic are you?

[ChaosTrulyReigns]

Twice this weekend i have had TheLook frm friends implying that I have my foot on the slippery slope to wankfrippery.

Firstly, I was caught with my Sat Nav tuned to the dulcet tones of Jacques issuing directions en francais.

And secondly, I received the Raised Eyebrow when my BF spotted the candle bags placed beautifully outside my humble abode specifically to provide a warm welcome to ungrateful visitors.

Please comfort by sharing your worst affectations.

gravy BOWL!!

t'is a boat dear girl [ponce again]

I have expensive champagne glasses so there is a constant stream of bubbles from the base and the champagne behaves properly in the glass. they were laser cut.

I have far too many hand made woven basket shoppers/totes from France.

French Antique picture frames on most of my pictures and if not, hand crafted oak ones.

Hand thrown tea mugs from local potter. Quirkly mis-matched natch.

Google Riedel if you want to find some super pricey poncetastic wine glasses. Not just red and white. A different one for every grape variety ...

can you let me in on the

WUNK

cotton napkins and silver (christening) napkin rings for every meal
sugar bowl with lid (extra points for emma bridgewater with unbroken lid?)
clean face flannels every day?
BUT nothing is ironed in our house (except my nice shirts of course, which I do); and the napkins are not linen, so perhaps I am back to zero on the poncetasticometer?

I have diptyque scented room spray, poncey air freshner in other words. It was a gift though.

It is a boat, but bloody iPad keeps changing everything I type! Poncey ponce! :o

Well maybe I do have red and white wine glasses then :o.

I use cloth napkins rather than paper ones. How many points for that?

Ongakgak-chaos started it one night-think following too much wunking!

ours are Reidle! PONCE PRINCESS

I use kitchen roll as napkins so my ponce points have taken a dive :)

I also have napkin rings from the White company to go with the cloth napkins-Jesus Christ, am poncing myself off now![wunk]

Lemon on chips, you heathen. Homemade mayonnaise. With preserved lemon and cornichons. And, I live in the colonies.

oh yes, linen napkins - definately poncey

Napkins, also are just what happens here! Cotton ones (with napkin rings for personal identification) for every day and then the white linen ones which were my great great grannie's, still with the laundry marks on, for special occasions when the DSs aren't eating

I didn't think I was poncestastic, but perhaps I am...a bit.

I thought it was normal to have different glasses for red and white wine.

A few scented soya candles about (a bit like Yankee Candles, I suppose).

Silly, exotic fruits in the fruit bowls, which we do eat.

Don't 'do' Cath Kidston, even though every woman I know around here seems to worship that stuff.

Actually I can think of a few other poncey things that I'm probably guilty of, but don't want to admit to them!

DD1's friends thought that my salt pig was posh - but they are weird.

i see your homemade mayonnaise katey and raise you homemade 'sun'dried tomatoes

oh PigeonPie I did not dare to confess to Granny's linen napkins for special occasions ... but people drop them under the table and the dog chews them ... devastating. Have you got her hand sewn lace type table cloths too>?

Ooh I luurve those doorstep candle bag thingies Chaos. That's the kind of thing my friends would laugh at me for! Having your satnav on in French when you are not French and not in France is pretty high scoring on the wankfrippometer though.

I have a Nigella salt pig. Never used it. So, only semi-poncetastic (I hope!)

I think I've got a couple in the loft (no space for storage downstairs atm) and the rest are still at my parents - I've just got the stuff Ma doesn't use anymore! She's got lots more tables than me that need covering for parties and then those tablecloths come out!

ongakgak is clearly the screen name of Kirsty Allsopp

Cath Kidston apron - check
Everything else - nah

OffSchool - I'd be very sad if a dog ate mine. I really love ironing them just because of their history. It's quite something to think they've been in my family for almost 100 years!
