Just bumping this up, because it's so funny and such great therapy.
P.S. don't like the dress much, IMO 80's fashion was a mistake the first time around and best left to slip into oblivion, rather than being revived.

Awwww - I don't hate the dress, but wouldn't pick it for myself. M&S is normally bad on site, so thats not an issue.

The links was just fun - laughing with you rather than at you (you know you were laughing really... ) I like the way you never gave up!

Yes, I hope you don't think I was laughing at you Charmkin. I was laughing with you, as you were being so persevering even though the links thing is a complete nightmare and I usually give up. It was funny because other people's interventions went wrong too.

Just going to try and post a link here myself, so you can come and snigger when it doesn't work and say I have really bad taste...

I have just read this thread through and it is very funny.

But it it high time MNHQ changed the description of how to do links, I had to get help from MNR's how to do them as it confused the hell out of me.

Had to come back to this - rofl at your dh's comments on the dress
I think you should wear the dress, remember this thread and laugh inside and you won't care what anyone else thinks... you know you're a comedian

great thread - would be the funniest I'd read for a longtime had it not been for the BMC fanjo stitching thread...

(have no strong opinions about the dress btw)

Band around in the 70s (or maybe even earlier!)

I just have a thing about fashion styles that have been around before (in my lifetime).... I keep wanting to shout at teenagers today "Invent your own style, stop copying what we wore 20 years ago!"
