Iklboo · 04/07/2008 13:35

No, credit to purchase a TV
Brighthouse are a "you can have credit at 1,000,000% APR. We don't do credit checks" etc
Shocked really - how bad must you be to get turned down by Brighthouse?

margo come and hold my hand.

Crepe-iness is creeping in to my cleavage and it was my best bit

I am wearing WLTs as I sit here. But they are Formes pg ones because, er, I'm very pg, and have a longish tunic over the top. And big white pants. I do realise that I need flesh-coloured ones instead but TBH, I cannot be arsed to be arsed, since the overall desired effect was not Howards Way, but 'wear something other than my jeans which are in wash.' I don't really feel like me in them, though - I don't have enough gold accessories/matelot tops to pull it off.

margoandjerry · 04/07/2008 13:42

Handholding with cadelaide.

I have thought long and hard about this.

It's actually better to have good boobs than good legs. I have (had) the former but they don't last a lifetime whereas good legs tend to stay decent(ish) for longer and even if they get a bit veiny in old age, still allow you to look long and lean in trousers whereas I will inevitably go to blowsiness in a few short years (months)

(disclaimer - I realise I may have over- analysed this)

pointydog · 04/07/2008 13:42

howard's way! lolol

margoandjerry · 04/07/2008 13:43

Ugh no. Despite my analysis I meant to say it's actually better to have good legs than good boobs.

sherbetdipdab · 04/07/2008 13:47

Margo and Cadelaide, I'm sorry, I'm sure your cleavages are not crepey.

However my 34K's will be crepey and saggy very soon, which is my penance for offending.

Having them lined does tend to negate teh light, airy summery feel.

White trousers are a bit troublesome

I have to add this story about the "no underwear" option. Not really relevant, but very funny.

A long long time ago in the olden days when I was a student in Manchester, I went into Lewis's. The shop had a sort of square bit in the middle, with steps on all sides going down to the next floor.

Well I was trotting down one part of staircase, and a women was coming down the one opposite me. I was shortsighted at the time and too vain to wear glasses....but I could see this women was wearing a very odd t-shirt with pink tassles on it.....As I got closr, I realised that they weren't tassles but were in fact nipples hanging below her t-shirt. (This was in the 80's when short t-shirts were around)

I just froze, and couldn't stop staring . She seemed quite oblivious and carried on, nipples swinging...

The weird thing was no sign of boobs, just long nipples

Yes, thank you, much better than Boden.

No wonder my searches with Boules were failing so dismally....

Hiya. I know they are lined but you never can really tell how you look from the back unless you have eyes in the back of your head so definitely has to be the big pant option. There are very few worse things than seeing someone's arse through their white linen trousers - even if it's perfect, I don't wanna see it. And let's be honest, most folks' arses aren't perfect. What I DO want to know is that you in fact wearing pants. My friend has a lovely pair of wlts and wears spanx under them. That works.

d)/e) flesh coloured g string.

FrannyandZooey · 04/07/2008 17:49

I have flesh coloured pants but they make me nervous, as when you take your trews off, your genital region looks like Barbie's

for this reason I never wear white linen trousers

GetOrfMoiLand · 04/07/2008 17:51
