To thin my 'friends' shouldn't really have been bitching about what I wore to go sledging on Saturday?

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

I've just got one of those accidentally forwarded emails (at least I ope it was accidental)

I went sledging with an old uni friend , her friends and all of our DC's we had a really fab day.

Now reading this 11 reply long email laughing about what I wore.

I have no idea how I should respond but I damn well want them to know I have seen it.

I've got one reply - but only copied in to me not everyone

I'm not going to post it here though as she was very nice.

YANBU. What horrible unnecessary remarks to put in an email. If anyone is shallow it is them, for wasting their time commenting on what other people are wearing.

ps: the pink ones are really pink! (i previously had a pair of pink tights that were a bit darker and less obvious) but they're still great.

what did you do when you needed a wee? I haven't worn tights since school but i imagine 2 pairs would get really tangled!any reply from 'friends'?

TDWP I bet you were looking stylish and this has upset your friend that even on snowy days you look cool. Pardon the pun

I am inspired. I am sick to death of my outdoorsy gear to get around our snowed in village. Even my 4 yr old asked me when I was going to wear the leather boots again instead of the practical hiking boots as I dragged him home on the sledge.

Off to buy on-line thick colourful tights.

Well yes it's not like we are in the arctic.

Why look like shit just because it's cold?

They sound nasty! They are not the sort of comments that you make about friends. Even if they were joking they wouldn't have said it like that.

I looked at your profile and you are very glam so they are probably jealous and all their husbands probably fancy you!

You can wear what you like, it's none of their business.

I saw some lovely woollen tights in M&S the other day. Just don't have the bum tummy or legs to carry it off!

Haha my profile pics don't really reflect what I look like
They are just carefully chosen from times I did look Glam

Cows... your outfit sounded funky and warm!

can I just say, OP, that from your profile you are 28, tall, slim and have long legs. So as far as I am concerned you should be able to go out in a bin bag and still look good! I thought the point of still being in your twenties/early thirties was that none of the stupid fashion rules applied yet.

I am a good 10y older and aften wear purple tights under sweater dresses, tho admitedly not while sledging, but only becasue I have ski gear( which is warmer, to be fair). But I reckon layers of tights, cycling shorts (technical fabric, nylon, whatever) would be way warmer than jeans (cotton) and actually follows the cold weather layering principles adopted by snow sports enthusiasts and people in cold countries, so not only are they bitches, they are also stupid.

TDWP - that one reply you got - is that the reply you mentioned earlier, from the friend that hadn't said anything about you in the original email? Or is it only one reply from one of the people who had been unkind about you?

I had to wear woolly tights (purple, blue, whatever) and a skirt in the snow as my jeans won't fit into my wellies .
I think your 'friends' are the shallow ones.

Have you had any grovelling apologies yet TDWP?

TDWP, they are probably all bitter, cos I bet they all have thrush from having to wear damp, soggy-bottomed jeans all day. LOL.

Seriously, discount them. You say that only one is you friend and the rest are people you know through her. I would e-mail them the biscuit icon and leave their tiny pea brains wondering what it means.

TDWP i wore something similar for sledging the other day (denim mini(ish) skirt, two pairs tights and clarks boots) my friends said as i turned up, 'a skirt!?' 'tights' 'not really sledging clothes is it' well i stayed warmer than all of them, dried out quicker and looked better too.
i'm just glad they said it too my face it must be horrible to receive that email, haven't read whole thread (just got in from work) but you look great in your profile pics and if you live in the south west and it snows again i'll go sledging in a skirt with you

and how can anyone see ya knickers with two pairs of tights on anyway?

Ooh you sound very cool! They were probably jealous as they suffered looking mumsy in their predictable North Face jackets (apologies to anyone who has North Face jackets, I actually quite like them but you get my point!).

I also went sledging in purple tights and a skirt and knee high motorcycle boots on Saturday. None of my trousers fit after baby no.2 and I fancied sliding down a hill on a plastic bag. Got a bit soggy but who cares, it was a blast. Kids hated it but DH and I loved it!

any new news on this? was thinking about the be-atches today

I accidentally sent a text message moaning to my sister about a friend and then sent it to THE friend. It wasn't bitchy but she'd really annoyed me over something and I did apologise because I didn't mean for her to read it but refused to apologise about the issue. We did sort it out.
I hadn't realised until she text me back with ' Oops, I think you've sent this to the wrong person.' I felt my heart sink when I read it and stewed on it for days. That short, sweet, no bitchy comment was by far worse then if she'd had a go back. I still cringe now!

I would reply with the short answer

'I think this has been sent in error, and thank you for your concern but my fanny was well insulated.'
