Sitting here with no bra on in my PJ's I suddenly realise that mine no longer do

Remember when I was a bout 19 and me and some friends actually demonsatrted it and mine were so pert the pencil kept dropping to teh floor, alas no more ............

omg how depressing. i don't need to take the test to know they SOOOO don't

CatBert · 07/07/2006 09:05

Alas I feel mine could hold a marker pen.

They definately can hold a biro (just tried. Jeez it was cold). They're not even that big!

Now I am imagining lots of MNetters shoving pencils under their boobs.

Then again - it might just turn out to be only me .

Sorry, but I've managed one of those super duper every colour under the sun felt pen sets under one of mine. Quite useful for colouring my knees .

fairydust · 07/07/2006 09:08

i can hold the dvd player under mine.lol

wilbur · 07/07/2006 09:10

Yes! Hooray! But this is only because they are teeny tiny and quite rubbish as norks go.

hulababy · 07/07/2006 09:13

I can, but then they are pretty small so easier to do I think.

aragon · 07/07/2006 09:17

at fairydust. It certainly conjures up an image.

Alan · 07/07/2006 09:19

oh dear

agree with fairydust mine could hold a small child

Mytwopenceworth · 07/07/2006 09:19

on a cold winters day, my dh sticks his hands right under mine to warm up. (in private, obviously.)

Alan · 07/07/2006 09:20

not in the local sainsburys then, twopenceworth?

expatinscotland · 07/07/2006 09:21

Mine definitely don't. They're not that big, either, just droopy and have stretchmarks after two kids and bfing.

Mytwopenceworth · 07/07/2006 09:22

just the once Alan, now they wont let us back in....

cadbury · 07/07/2006 09:27

a pencil - I can get the whole of WHSmith and Staples under mine.

prettybird · 07/07/2006 09:27

Mine still do

Iklboo · 07/07/2006 09:27

Put it this way - DH says "show us your jubblies" - I lift the hem of me ankle length skirt

NotAnOtter · 07/07/2006 09:41

lol fairydust - some you you lot would make fab shoplifters!

jamese · 07/07/2006 19:18

I actually tried a pencil case and no problem!! No the really embarrasing bit, I can hold an empyty milk bottle under mine..

Very big, saggy boobs that almost trip me up when unbraaaad....

Can't remember them being pert, not sure they ever were...

alexsmum · 07/07/2006 19:22

i read in a book once that only people with men and choldren can 'pass 'this test and that the real pencil test is this.
put on your best cleavage enhancing bra,stick a pencil in between your boobs( standing up) if it stays there your breasts are perfect!!

alexsmum · 07/07/2006 19:24

should have read 'only men and children'

fullmoonfiend · 07/07/2006 19:25

Iklboo - PMSL! what a great line.
