Why are:

  1. Certain items of clothing = "mumsy" eg bootcuts, tunics, some boots but not others (forget which)
  1. Short wide jumpers are inherently better than others
  1. Anyone over a size 12 = fat
  1. Fat = mumsy
  1. That thinking the above makes you a cleverer and more knowing alnd all-round better person with a slight pitying disdain for those that don't agree.

Lastly I would like a definition of "Mumsy" and why it is an insult.

Thank you.

Djembe · 06/12/2012 21:55

I love Hush. When I am rich I shall swan around all day wearing Hush clothes and clutching a cup of coffee.

TuftyFinch · 06/12/2012 21:57

But what's with the funny arms? I think raglan sleeves sit nicer.

TuftyFinch · 06/12/2012 21:57

Child minders?

HullyEastergully · 06/12/2012 21:59

OP posts:
HullyEastergully · 06/12/2012 22:08

DH not here in the week. I would read that but my kindle went in the bath.
Fire's out.
The AA of course Grin

HullyEastergully · 06/12/2012 22:10

No don't.

Read Dorthy Whipple.

She is the perfect accompaniment to a slightly melancholic evening by the woodburner. She'll put a tear in your eye and yet a song in your heart. Read Someone at a Distance. or They Were Sisters.

You'd be happy in Hush togs Tufty

HullyEastergully · 06/12/2012 22:10

All week every week?

That is hard.

Don't put kindles in the bath, they don't like it.

OP posts:
HullyEastergully · 06/12/2012 22:11

So would I, lovely Hush TUNICS all round.

OP posts:
TuftyFinch · 06/12/2012 22:16

I probably would Djembie but for now my Norwegian jumper is keeping me warm.
Thanks Hully, yes, every week. I do need a bit of a book buying session. I've got The Sisters Brothers, Patrick DeWitt. I was given it as a present and not read it yet. Have you read it?

HullyEastergully · 06/12/2012 22:21

I liked it v much, but I like cowboys and blood...

OP posts:
TuftyFinch · 06/12/2012 22:39

Right I'm going to read that.
Don't leave red wine on a wood burner, it tastes foul! Night.
