Took my mum and 2 dds out to NT event for Easter.
It was cold and involved traipsing around a NT property, doing the Easter Egg Hunt, exploring the adventure playground for clues and then looking at the "gardens".
We didn't go into the stately home as it was £14 just to see the gardens plus £2 per child for the egg hunt.
Anyway "the gardens" turned out to be no more than very large fields with grass and the occassional set of trees.

We were all dressed in coats and flat shoes.
DD1, who is 15, pointed out a woman who had quite literally eyed her up and down starting at her feet, then worked her way up until she finally looked at dds hair and then pulled a not too happy face! dd2 verified that she actually did this!
My dd was wearing Pineapple shoes, baggy jeans, a rose coloured sweat top and a Superdry coat. Her hair was French plaited at the front then tied in a ponytail. She also had very subtle make up.
I tried to laugh it off and told her that the woman was probably admiring her.
She said no mum, she didn't do it in that way,
Anyway the woman looked ok from behind, albeit in a cardigan,Ugg style boots and NO COAT (shudders) but when she turned round had a face to turn the prettist of things into stone.
She looked very old to be a mother of the small child she was with (6,7ish).
I then told dd not to worry as she aws hardly any sort of fashionista.
Secretly I looked at this woman and thought "take a long hard look at yourself, you really are not in any position to throw stones are you?"

Not needing advice just cannot believe that a grown woman would do that to a child. Get a grip you silly cow.

Goodness this is funny.

Nothing wrong with your daughter's incontinence pad coat OP, if only more young people were so inventive. The shoes sound sticky though.

Well fwiw, is sometimes look like an older women and teeter along a continuum of somewhere between Lisa of Emmerdale or Tiffany from yesteryear Eastenders.

MN is so funny, like all them over on S & B princessing....wonder what they would make of unkempt women or me, depending on what stage the school term is at...

Gosh I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to be rude yesterday. I thought you were an international film star and I was looking at your DD to see if she resembled you. I certainly didn't mean to stare. By the way you did miss the rose gardens, they were lovely. Sorry you missed them.

OP: Come on, admit it, you're Samantha Brick (or her slightly less attractive twin sister).

I nominate this for the most pointless discussion since Peter Andre first met Katie Price
