here as I have no idea how many you have, or what colour, so just a page of beautiful inspiration for you. I could look at those all day. Grin

Anyway, I'd like to know about my dining chairs. They are about 13 years old. They are those ubiquitous padded atones, like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=www.homeandbedroom.co.uk/sites/default/files/imagecache/product_full/leather%2520dining%2520chair.jpg&imgrefurl=www.homeandbedroom.co.uk/dining-occasional&h=350&w=319&sz=6&tbnid=OtkH5ovp4ahWfM:&tbnh=90&tbnw=82&prev=/search%3Fq%3Ddining%2Bchairs%2Bleather%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=dining+chairs+leather&usg=__M-G0Osy7x8YT3rEalUen-oEx1-o=&docid=fdzQiMOSYDUP8M&sa=X&ei=fd_TUM_VOI2ThgfKu4CACw&ved=0CGAQ9QEwBw&dur=3040" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">these. I was the first person I knew in the world ever to own that style and when I bought them you could only buy them in trendy designer type places like Heals. IKEA didn't even do them they were so achingly cool. Anyway, now every bastard has them and they look dated and I'm bored with them. I like to have things no-one else has. But they are still in excellent condition, and I should really be trying to save some money next year.

Should I buy some new chairs and be damned, or am I being shallow and silly, and no-one else cares?

Im going to start line dancing again in the NY.

FellatioNelson · 21/12/2012 04:07

atones? Confused

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 04:09

I vote gumtree those ones and buy new ones.

cafecito · 21/12/2012 04:15

my dining chairs arehand painted with bizarre images. I like them. One has fairies and one has a naked lady. ehem.

your chairs are nice. but they don't make you happy. buy new chairs!

FellatioNelson · 21/12/2012 04:17

Tsk. wanna Hmm you continue to step way out of line on this thread. Sit down and wait for the Honesty Guru to answer please.

(Although when everyone else wakes up and she is overwhelmed by the responsibility of so may questions she might make you Honesty Monitor while she goes for a little sleep.)

Shock Of course! They don't make me happy! That's genius! A lightbulb moment of clarity.

FellatioNelson · 21/12/2012 04:20

Although I must not make a decision until Just comes back. do you suppose she's gone to bed? Confused

FellatioNelson · 21/12/2012 04:20

Oh....hang on.....Just? Ar you there?

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 04:30

Shes a little bit merry I think. And half asleep probably.

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 04:31
FellatioNelson · 21/12/2012 04:36

Blimey. She went without delegating responsibility to you. what should we do now? Confused

I think you are right, and cafecito agrees with you. I'll start looking in the sales. Ta. Grin

cafecito · 21/12/2012 04:37

I think she fell over in disgust that dining chairs are now on her S&B thread

FellatioNelson · 21/12/2012 04:38

Is this in S&B? I never noticed. Blush I thought we could ask about anything. no wonder it was all about fat arses.

cafecito · 21/12/2012 04:39

we must wait for her to rise again, and appear to us Grin

cafecito · 21/12/2012 04:40

WEll if we could ask about anything I'd have had LOADS of questions! My life is a mess! Grin I was limited to my fat arse

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 04:45

:o

Haha too funny. Im the same.

My hairs too long. I have no make up. I look like I dress in the dark.

Those are the least of my issues!

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 04:47

Would a thread called

"Support thread for fat arse problems" get deleted even though the trick is that its not for fat arse problems?

It would wouldnt it. Its not PC.

cafecito · 21/12/2012 04:51

I took a MN break of about 3 years, please don't tell me MN is PC now !!

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 05:02

It is a bit. Someone with a fat arse might take offence you see.

cafecito · 21/12/2012 05:13

Wannabe.....my sister is size 22 and I found a plus size bridal shop after a horrible experience in a normal one. It was in Basingstoke if you are anywhere near there ( we travelled 2 hours ) . They were fantastic and had loads of dresses in her size . I would say with their help and experience she looked 3 sizes smaller on her wedding day . And they were cheap! Certainly much cheaper than where we live anyway!

wannabedomesticgoddess · 21/12/2012 13:38

Thanks but Im in NI. There are plus size bridal shops here, but they are out of my budget :)

bishboschone · 21/12/2012 13:57

Oh that's a shame .
