[Cinnamoncookie]

Come on in and join the Hot Beardy Fucker love. No need to chose, just copy me and lay claim to them all !

[MadamedeChevreuse]

Re the chaise chaise Im not sure why we're getting a new one...I just burnt it and recovered it on the old thread...however why not, nice to see some nice pix of new chaises...

Ok thanks for the bra advice all. I am cos have tried 34s and they feel tight. What is m&s like for measuring?

minty ace you have pink hair! I bleached my dark brown pixie crop at uni and the results were hilaire. Never again.

Love the tattoo pix too. Forget me not sounds great, very milady!



mouse if you can arrange a trip to the mainland and away from the mice it would be great...we should pencil in a big wench meet-up for autumn maybe?

[MrsEvadneCake]

Thanks all! I've had purple, blue, lilac, pink and purple together, super bright pink. Never fancied greens and reds look awful in me.

[MrsEvadneCake]

Thanks Flops. It took a lot of evidence and observations to get there. Was worth it though because I've secured a full time contract for next year now as well. I love my job!

[FancyFancy]

If you want to see extreme nonchalance mouse look at the pic of her on my profile

madame M&S get panned on here for bra fitting, but no personal experience as they don't do my size. If the cup size is too small it can put pressure on the band and so make the bra feel too tight across the back as well.

Good news about the job minty, are you a teacher?

[Flopsy28]

Fucksake wenches, I've just had to wind DH. Like a baby.

[MrsEvadneCake]

I'm a raising achievement assistant Fancy I teach reading intervention one to one with readers who need to improve and I work as a mentor and with looked after children and those on CP plans. I am a teaching assistant by qualification. This role is paid for out of PP money and so I have a different performance management to the TAs. It's an amazing job.

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Well done Minty for report thingy and new haircut
for Mouse now that BM is on the move
Madame you may be a 36 because If you are very very slender and have no “padding” around your ribs then you may find it necessary to try one back size higher. from that site above. I have just been wrestling with tape measure and bending over and can confirm I'm (theoretically) in the right size. Just put a mahoosive order into M&S for a trying on session at home since most of the current underwear is not in the slightest bit white any more and the elastic is doing that over-strateched crinkly thing.

In other news, the Friend's visit is not going well. We got derailed last night by DH's A&E trip, and then tonight said Friend has retreated to bed with a migraine. Either that or we're just really bad company and any excuse

And how is it 11pm already?

I'm off to the hayloft - night all.

PS - Comtess if you ComputerWench instead of iWench, Athos gets much bigger

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

PS - my experience of Bravissimo is bad, since even with pregnancy/breatfeeding norkage, I wasn't big enough for them and they were thus very disinterested in measuring me. Madame, there is one where you live, maybe the staff have changed since I tried them... worth a try if you don't have your own hady measure?

[Cinnamoncookie]

Madame all M&S bra measurers will be first up against the wall, followed by their bra manufacturers.

Debenhams or John Lewis are much better, or independent shops quite often.

Yes, a proper fitting bra will feel tighter than what you're used to around the body, because the band should provide most of the support, not the straps. Like jeans feel tight and leave a mark on your tummy (or is that just me ? .

When you measure around the body under your boobs, you should be wearing that band size, but it's all just a starting point. If you're well padded like me, you might size down a bit, if not you might size up slightly. The key is to try a bra on backwards without the straps over your shoulders. How far away can you pull the band ? Should be a couple of inches at most. Any more than that is too big. If the same bra then feels too small when you wear it right way round, it's because the cups are too small and are stealing fabric from the band.

When I first got fitted properly, it took ages to get the right size and style, because a lot of bras just don't work for me. Anything with a wire that comes right up in the centre (which is a lot of styles) digs right in, and I need a very wide wire to fit all my side-boob in. But other women have narrower boobs, so wide wires wouldn't work. So if you measure properly and try that size and it feels all wrong, it may be the wrong style, not the wrong size. I wear Bravissimo Satine, it's literally the only comfy style I've found.

Ahem bra rant over

[MrsEvadneCake]

Helen I hope your DH is ok??

I'm off to finish a bit of crochet and sleep.

Night wenches

[FancyFancy]

That sounds like a great role minty. This year the school where I'm a governor has had someone in a similar role, but only part-time. She's been brill (well we thinkso, the final proof will come when the latest assessments are out ). Your school is lucky to be getting you full time!

cinn - a beautifully worded rant . I am also at that bra. Whenever I've tried on similar styles they just don't work on me. You're so right about different styles working on different people.

Night helen. Maybe it's just too exciting at your house for your friend, what with the medical emergencies etc?

[FolknNorah]

I LOVE YOUR HAIR YOU ARE SO COOL I WANT TO BE YOU.

Ahem. Soz wenchies, I embarrassed us all there I think.

Bad luck on winding DH though florah still now that's done we can get down to business eh?
I'm hoping that tomorrow I will start to be OTH in a major way. I've lost my Araporn mojo and well, it's annoying me now. Maybe I should do a Northos to get me things going again?

Anyway, night wenchies,
Xx

[LetUsPrey]

Sorry wenches, I don't seem to be keeping up at the moment.

I saw minty's tattoo - fab! I keep saying I'll get one when I'm in my 50s. No idea what.

Another anti-M&S re bra measuring. Last time I was measured was at John Lewis and came out at 32C. Boobs are bulging a bit at the side now and over the cup a little, particularly as am pre-blob, so I need to get re-measured. I've given up even buying bras from M&S as the 32C have never fitted properly, regardless of style.

I'll try and catch up tomorrow. Night wenches x

[Enormouse]

madame I would not go to M&S for measuring tbh. For everything cinn said. They insisted I was a 32/34b. But I do like their bras. I have splayed out boobs that are more full at the sides than the middle so need uplift and pushing to a more central position. Their balconette bras with underwiring are perfect for me, when they can be bothered to stock a 28 back.

Night Helen and minty

helen is your DH doing better now?

Aaw at fancycat. She looks very nonchalant.

[FancyFancy]

Night letus & norah. Here's a little something for you both

[FancyFancy]

The best bit is that you can bury your face in her belly fluff and it is softer than angel's wings

[MadamedeChevreuse]

Hahaha flops. Bless him.

Who knew?

Thanks all. helen there is indeed a bravissimo here but I too thought it was just a shop for people with norks. Still no bloody jl here, just a crap m&s. First things first...I will buy a tape measure.

[MadamedeChevreuse]

Oh btw the Swagger Inn is located in Doksany, CR. Or Paris 1630. Whichever really.

[FolknNorah]

MMMMOOOORRRRRNNNIIINNNGGG FFFFFUUUUUCCCCKKKKEEERRRSSSZZZZ


I thnk those with ridiculous bigger sized norks have had to become more expert IySWIM?
I only get mine from the independant shop in town and even then they have to order in.
I haven't tried bravissimo yet, although I love the one cin linked. Not a k though...I'll have a re measure later I think who knows?

[LetUsPrey]

Morning wenches. Right, all caught up now.

Well done BabyMouse.

Also well done to Minty for the outstanding. Pink hair sounds ace. I'm also tempted to a different hair colour to go with the tattoo when I'm older but I worry by that age I could end up looking a bit Mrs Slocombe.





And finally

[MrsEvadneCake]

Morning wenches.

Norah you made me and with your moment last night!!

Today I'm meeting my friend for lunch and I have a voucher to spend in a frivolous devil may care way. My new hair cut looks like a hedgehog this morning...so it's a wash-every-day do. Might crochet a hat for lazy days.

[MrsEvadneCake]

Letus you'd look fab I'm sure. I think Mrs S will be my future

[SisterHelenoftheEternalCatchUp]

Morning all.

DH is mostly fine now thanks - just a bit sore (understandably) Everyone at SaturdaySportingActivity was most impressed by his war wounds - not that you can see anything underneath the dressings.

Today it is very hot again so I will be mostly trying to wash out his bloodsoaked top which has been soaking in vanish for 48 hours and see if the material is dark enough to hide any remaining stains.. then mending the rip in it. Or maybe I will be throwing it out.

Hope everyone has a good day and doesn't melt.

[FolknNorah]

You need cold water and salt for blood stains helen.

You're welcome minty I find I have to wash mine everyday even when short as I too get the hedgehog look. I also crochet myself hats so I don't have to do it..... What style will you make? I've got a slouchy one, a proper wooly one (which is knitted actually) and a cotton cap type of one that I hope looks a bit vintage but doesn't I expect. And two other cap those ones in coughacryliccough for colder days but not wintery ones. IySWIM?
I love hats but am yet to find The One.
Oh and I'm going to make a sun hat at some point to help protect my neck more.

Have fun with your voucher!

letus you will look ace, no mrs s for you moi lovurrrrr, i would

[WickedWenchOfTheNorth]

Morning

Watching telly and is really lazy

I love tattoos but they're a bit expensive, but I would love to get one some day.

I was a bit of a rebel in my teens with strange hairstyles and different colours and weird clothes. I love people that dare to stand out

Hope all wenches have a lovely day
