Is this bonkers - show flannel?

(Afterthought- daily mail/mirror journos you lazy cunting wankbadgers this is not for you to lift. Go report some news. I shall intersperse swears just in case. Ha.)

I like to make my bathroom feel as pampery as possible given it's poky and rented. I also use white flannels once or twice a day in my skincare routine so I keep a stash in a basket. Fuckbucket. When I was at a posh spa a few months ago I spent ten minutes studying how they'd rolled/tucked their flannels and now I use their technique so it feels even pamperier (word?). Cuntbiscuit.

Anyway, I've taken to leaving a 'show flannel' out on the side of the sink. I don't actually use it, I use the ones from the basket (which is on a shelf above eye level). But it sits there looking lovely and calm inviting me to look after myself. Arseweasel. I like to think guests might see it and feel they're at a fancy hotel or something. It's also angled at a perfect 45 degrees mirrored by the soap dish on the other side. Cuntfuckitybastardshitmonkey.

(Disclaimer: without being flippant it is very possible that I have OCD, I am under mental health support for anxiety and mood problems, before anyone gets too mean!)

Am I completely bonkers? Or do other people do this kind of thing too?

Sorry what was that tall?

MrsGsnow18 · 08/01/2017 15:13

This Made me laugh (most the swear words interspersed within)
It's more effort that I'm willing to go to, but I do have fancy molton brown soap that only comes out for guests.

I think it sounds awesome, I aspire to such towel related wankery but my family all fuck it up. Scruttocks.

I definitely think you need a show towel too. Flange.

TinklyLittleLaugh · 08/01/2017 15:22

Not show flannels (flannels make me shudder) but I do have show towels. I have a bale of six, two large, two medium and two tiny. The largest four are on hooks on the back of the door and used daily. But the smallest two are artistically rolled and placed on the shelves either side of the sink.

OP you need to watch athomewithnikki she is my favourite woman on YouTube.

I expect she has a show flannel or 5 , she has 2 baskets of these in her bathroom - pic attached.
She has guest socks in a drawer. She is the most organised, show homey person ever. I love her personal taste, even if she is completely bonkers.

Is this bonkers - show flannel?

Is a show flannel the new stunt pineapple? Discuss.

123bananas · 08/01/2017 22:22

Show linen does not last long here. The last pretty set of such things I had were used by my dd's to create the wankpigeon Barbie nativity scene at Christmas.

KingJoffreysRestingCuntface · 08/01/2017 22:23

Ah, my mum had a dish full of dusty seashell shaped soaps.

Fond memories.

Me too SnowBalls. I was thinking flannels were the new crusty socks. And one had a dedicated bucket for stained flannels, aptly called fuckbucket.

BellMcEnd · 08/01/2017 22:32

My old flat mate had the reverse of a show flannel. Hairypissflaps. I lived with him for 2 years and I can testify that that flannel never ever got changed, alone washed. Cumguzzlingmailjournos.It got progressively grimmer and hairier the longer we lived there.

Loved him, he was ace but that flannel should have been sent to Porton Down. Spunktrumpet.

DireTires · 08/01/2017 22:37

Holy fuck this is a wild thread.

Life's too short to have show flannels. Use all the good things everyday. Buy show flannels for your face. Spermwad.

wobblywonderwoman · 08/01/2017 22:41

Op- you are the funniest person I have never met Grin

Fannyflappery. Shagalot.

I am a secret anthea Turner fan and on quiet afternoons alone I rewatch her how to be a good housewife DVD. Fuckit.

HalfWomanHalfCake · 08/01/2017 23:05

I love this thread Grin
Partly because flannel is an excellent word.
Mainly because I am overly partial to swearing.
Soapy titwank.

GodlessDomestic1 · 08/01/2017 23:39

For fucknuggets sake, I am actually crying with laughter. Show flannels are a work of genius, I only wish I was dedicated enough to hairybollocks maintain one. I am just too cunting lazy.

chugnut · 08/01/2017 23:50

This thread is so funny. Twatbadger. My Mum has show towels and flannels. CockWombles. And even a waste paper bin that must not ever be used but is instead strewn with pot pourri Confused PissMonkey

DireTires · 08/01/2017 23:55

A show waste paper bin 😂

I love that. Such affection.

Cockwomble.

debbs77 · 09/01/2017 00:00

I don't but I need to now!

Janey50 · 09/01/2017 00:00

OMG I love this! tallwivglassses Grin yes I think we've got the message!

DragonNoodleCake · 09/01/2017 00:02

Fuckinbastardtwattingfuckingcunt now I need a flannel basket

Janey50 · 09/01/2017 00:06

SnowBallsAreHere - That's what I thought too! Grin I have got tears in my eyes from laughing so much!

sh700 · 09/01/2017 00:07

I have no opinion on show flannels but I really hope that the trend to scatter random cunting swear words through threads takes off Grin

Whitelisbon · 09/01/2017 00:12

I have no flannels, show or otherwise, but I'm loving the sweariness.
Fuckwazzocks.
