How’s that for a title?!

Well, I’ve done a deal on the car. Actually it drives very nicely. I can see it’s practical. And it’s not an old banger.

It’s not very me. But it is sensible, and sensible I must be.

Actually got some kip last night. 9-5.

How’s everyone else doing? Justilou is it warm in Oz? One of my best friends lives there and I haven’t seen her for too long. RandomMess have you managed to have a better night / find out when you’re going home?

I haven’t told him about handing it over to the solicitor and no mediation on Friday yet. Waiting for the notes and financial summery from the mediator first. Hopefully today.

@pointythings

Well, I'm living in SeaSalt dresses at the moment, but you don't want to follow my fashion example - I team them with insanely coloured Snag tights (am tall and also not thin) and mock Docs with bonkers prints (am wearing the floral ones today, my other pair has owls on). My style is Old Lady Who Gives No Fucks.

Well. My long-time respect for pointythings just turned into a girl-crush Blush

And now I want to go internet shopping...

RandomMess · 08/01/2021 18:06

@Catmaiden 😂 sorry!!!

I only buy the tunic tops to ear as dresses!! Only in the sale too, what is nice is that I have to go done a size as they come up generous (and I don't get anything fitted on the waist) Wink

pointythings · 08/01/2021 18:32

ThinkWittyThings why thank you! Grin

Life's too short to wear stuff you don't like. My DDs tell me I'm a BAMF, and I'm going with that.

Catmaiden · 08/01/2021 19:32

Same here! And I, too, wear coloured Snag tights with boots with tunics.

I also don't GAF!

RandomMess · 08/01/2021 19:41

Unfortunately I can't wear tights Sad they dig in around my waist, also when in the office most of the year it's too hot!!

ThinkWittyThoughts · 08/01/2021 20:26

Whilst with like-minded women can I ask for honest options in snag tights please?

Are they as fab as their marketing suggests?

pointythings · 08/01/2021 20:28

Random have you tried Snags? I always hated tights for not fitting (too short/digging in/sliding down) but Snags don't. It feels like I'm not wearing them.

If I were in the office I'd be teaming them with very light clothes, but I've been WFH since March and my house isn't that warm.

pointythings · 08/01/2021 20:30

ThinkWittyThoughts yes, they really are! I take a size G because I'm tall and a size 18/20. Am losing weight and at some point they will be too big (2 stone down since September) but right now that size is perfect. They don't roll down when I'm moving around, they don't tear at the gusset because they've been stretched too far and they wash beautifully. Honestly they are totally worth the money.

RandomMess · 08/01/2021 20:34

Too short is never a problem 😂

Being apple shaped I have a huge belly and can't bear anything tight and no hips...

If I ever return to the office perhaps I'll give them a go?

Catmaiden · 08/01/2021 20:46

Yep Snag are great. I'm short and curvy, as well as overweight, big hips, small waist, short legs, long body, and they are the only tights that fit.

Catmaiden · 08/01/2021 20:47

Now eying up some more new merino Snags Blush

pointythings · 08/01/2021 20:50

I've got a couple of pairs of the merino ones. They're absolutely lovely for home working on cold days. And look good too!
I'm just gutted that I didn't get hold of any of the sparkly Christmas ones, they went so fast.

DeadButDelicious · 08/01/2021 21:02

Love snag! Heartily recommend the merino ones they are lovely and warm!

andannabegins · 08/01/2021 21:21

@pointythings you are my clothes twin. I am not tall but love a sea salt/fat face etc dress with docs

Catmaiden · 08/01/2021 22:04

I have Hotter ankle boots rather than DM, due to very wide /different shaped feet, but rock a very similar look to Pointy Wink .

justilou1 · 09/01/2021 01:13

Hi @StuckInPollyannaMode - I’ve been away (in Aus - totally kosher, but had to race back due to tiny CV outbreak and mini lockdown.) Honestly wouldn’t bother with clothes atm lest he think you’re trying to get his attention or someone else’s all of a sudden. (Who exactly are you likely to see anyway?) Would be a powerful freedom statement afterwards though!

ThinkWittyThoughts · 09/01/2021 08:10

Thanks everyone for the snag reviews!

DartmoorDoughnut · 09/01/2021 08:26

How you doing @StuckInPollyannaMode? Not long left!

justilou1 · 09/01/2021 10:05

I just read back a wee bit @StuckInPollyannaMode... did I get this right? Geller wanted you to go around to his new place and heave his furniture around so he can make it nice and comfy? Really? Really, really??? Doesn’t he know what divorced mean?

Doesn’t he know what divorced mean?
You'd have thought so really, wouldn't you, considering he's been divorced more than once before... 🌹

justilou1 · 09/01/2021 10:34

He’s a VERY slow learner!!! Maybe he thinks all wives are interchangeable. (Actually, he probably does, the bloody fool!)

timeisnotaline · 09/01/2021 11:32

You could nicely suggest he get one of his other exes to help?

justilou1 · 09/01/2021 12:23

Actually, why don’t all three ex wives all get together and decorate his place? (Excrement, swear words, rotten eggs, etc)

Mix56 · 09/01/2021 13:00

timeisnotaline, Hahaha !! thats perfect

SwanShaped · 09/01/2021 15:02

Hope you’re doing ok pollyanna Not long left now.
