A Crepey is not just for Christmas...

[oldqueencrepey]

It had to be done.
Phew that feels better.
Over here crepeys. All very welcome (but only if you're crepey).

A friend of mine has just put a photo of her 13 year old daughter on her FB page. OK, she is going to a party, but she is wearing an absolutely skin tight dress which ends at her crotch. Am I being a bit of an old fuddy duddy to suck my teeth and disapprove?

I want wiiiine (stamps foot) - none in house....do I go to the pub to buy one?...can I be arsed?

MrsS I don't have girls but I'll join you with in the teeth sucking and bosom hoisting disapproval!

Hmmm, MrsS.... DD and her peers have a rather unpleasant name for girls that dress like that, so not so fuddy duddy

Said DD is out at a cafe with her bf (having missed each other all week - awww!) (wearing her gym kit including Primarni joggers tucked into her Blazers) DH and I are resisting the urge to go and spy on them....

BTW, I won't be volunteering to be the hairy laydee going bald for the article

And how is it that you folks run out of wine??? Surely that is what online grocery shopping is for

DD1 is wearing the de rigeur minuscule shorts (a Schadenfreuleine handmedown) but with thick leggings and Converse. DD2 is wearing leggings and a T-shirt. I am wearing a respectable frock (rather nice drapey one I also ahem wear for work) with shiny opaque tights and red lipstick.

I can't drink until 10 pm as DS has gone to a boom (party to you lot in the uk) and I have to go and pick him up. He told me quite seriously he is going to dance some slows. He is 10 years old.

Have fun MI!

Oh, they like their slows in France

I am not sure it was the length of the dress - like MI, my DDs also wear the mini shorts and leggings/thick tights combo with DMs or Converse. I think it was the lycra-ness of it, the animal print, the no tights and high shoes combo that did it. The dress might have been OK with leggings and flat shoes and a jacket slung on top, but with bare legs and heels it just screamed "slapper."

DD1 is going out to a party in a minute. She is wearing a funky multi coloured dress from a Tibetan shop here, orange opaques and DMs. The dress is short, but not arse skimming. She is going with Precious Blow Dried Friend and is sleeping over as the party doesn't end till one. I am amazed PBDF's parents are letting her go, but the party is about two doors down from where they live, and I am sure they will be escorted to and from party. (DD1 is making her own way to PBDF's on the metro.) I don't think DD1 will last till one as she has been playing basketball all day and is pooped.

Mrs S - how can she do bare legs in this weather? My DD's are very anti animal prints but will do the shorts and tights with DM's combo. I am very fuddy duddy about skirt lengths - especially if they are going on the RER.

Well, I'm going to a gig! How very with-it! Richard Hawley, no less. Mild wardrobe panic, until I realised that actually it doesn't matter, and that no-one there is going to give a crepey old fatso a second glance.

So, breton-striped fit-n-flare dress, leggings, tan ankle boots. Sainsbury's butterfly scarf. And, as it's so parky, a Uniqlo heat-tech vest and a cardi.

Ooh look - here's <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-thing%3F.out%3Djpg%26size%3Dl%26tid%3D49088185&imgrefurl=www.polyvore.com/cotton_breton_dress/thing?id%3D49088185&h=300&w=300&sz=24&tbnid=gYFk467DrP3mXM:&tbnh=91&tbnw=91&zoom=1&usg=__LWGx86tO2AI9rwaV_cgqsI5ySoE=&docid=Zwh398vFtyVtHM&sa=X&ei=0BEpUZ7kC-TY0QWwi4HwCA&ved=0CFgQ9QEwBA&dur=410" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the dress

Tennis???

In this weather???

50 miles from home???

Makes the DC's footy and gymnastics sound like a doddle!

Oooh, good luck! - is it your twins? The radiator sounds good

Pubes? Tennis? Indecent teenagers? It's all chat on here tonight!

Welcome back, BTM, your week sounded perfect.

I'm pleased to report there is plenty of here.

No wine here either. Couldn't actually face it after two whole bottles of Dh birthday prosecco. Delicioso!
Liking striped breton dress. Oh ! saw Richard Hawley last October - he was excellent. Hope you enjoy .
Lolololol at slow dancing ten year olds and tarty teens!

We have Daniel Craig here tonight ( well dds new copy of skyfall) and I am already in my landsend nighty.( love nighties I have discovered as a long time pj enthusiast)
Who knew?

Ooh ruby that's terrific !

Yay, well done Ruby Jnr!

DS has big football match tomorrow (semifinal of some cup or other....). I'm even contemplating getting out of bed to go and watch, even though it's somewhere in Hounslow, which means we will be morally obliged to visit DH's Irish Aunties on the way home. You can tell I'm not exactly your devoted touchline mummy; I feel my role is to wash the muddy kit afterwards.

Lol CV - football watching above and beyond I think especially in this weather.
I am longing for sun. All this talk of swimsuits has me wistful for spring!

oooh herbs, you lucky old thing! I lurve richard hawley... where did you see him? He played at Latitude a couple of years ago. As I looked around the tent he was in I realised the adoring audience was made up of... crepeys. Oh well. Hope you had a fab time.

Can I just say I've never heard of Richard Hawley.....

Audience almost entirely crepey, apart from out-of-place gaggle of slim blondes. I didn't like them. Oddly tall lot of men, which was rather annoying from the 'view' aspect of things.
