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.

Old tea chest on DS toy box.

Pretty poncey, wunk.

I was impressed when I realised our new cutlery set has two different sizes of knifes and forks! I've never had that before {proud}

Oh dear, then I realise I really am very poncetastic. We have and use all the cutlery including big and little knives, big and little forks and spoons - although we don't have pastry forks.

Grape scissors
Sugar tongs
Fish knives
Butter knives

as his toy box on not

I have a framing fetish, I love how smart it makes pictures look and have to have pictures professionally framed or not bother. I have one of DS1's 2 year old painty daubings in my front hall and I daren't tell you how much it cost to get framed but it was significantly more than the kid's easel he painted the picture on.

It would appear that I am also poncetastic :)

I don't think Yankee Candles are poncetastic though. They smell like cheap air freshener.

My personal favourites are from Ormonde Jayne - absolutely beautiful.

And don't most people wear an apron to cook in? If not, then I must be either poncetastic or just very messy :)

Ditto napkins, variety of appropriate glassware and a butter dish.

Don't consider either Emma Bridgewater or Cath Kidston poncey either, I'm afraid. One should be supporting their local potter or using wares collected from french antique markets for total poncetastic-ness :o

I have White Company Pillow Mist for my greying crisp white sheets.

PigeonPie i think your use of 'big knives and little knives' instead of 'dinner and butter knives' has lost you a half ponce-point

But I've got butter knives too - you know ones which you use with the butter dish!

Actually, big knives are knives and little knives are desert knives!

My Ma (who is staying with me atm to look after me as I've got trapped nerves in my back) has just said that I need to sew loops onto all the drying up cloths! (which are linen and ironed!).

How many points do I lose if I admit that I regularly eat cereal with soup spoons?

tulpe you sound like my kind of ponce

Another poncetastic point surely for Saturday morning breakfasts involving croissants (home made, of course) wrapped in a linen tea towel to keep them warm in the bread basket?

I have a lovely selection of table linen made by my MiL - all handmade, including some beautiful lace work. She used them every day so DH and I have continued the tradition.

I would have to rehome the dog if she tried to eat one of them :o

I think PigeonPie wins by knowing about desert knives. Very exotic!

:o

pardon me for my attack of the vapours there

*politely dabs at top lip with silk handkerchief which she really does keep in her top dressing table drawer

I have Real Tupperware ..so nurr

*wonders if it's time to sign off - being an ex-Tupperware demonstrator

I think I might have to start a commoners club. I'm looking around my house desperately to prove how poncy I am but it's all in vain! Someone call Jeremy Kyle quick!

gently clinks tulpes glass, cheers!

Liberty hankie in every handbag (ironed with lavender water, naturally).
Also, blanket ban on eating in a dressing gown.

Oh dear, I think that Glynis and I better go together - my late (other) Grandmother was a tupperware demonstrator and I have rather a lot of that too (sadly diminishing as it is finally getting plastic fatigue)!
