Discuss

ooh yes holidays with Thomson Gold or group walking holidays, youngest child started at University and suffering from empty nest syndrome

She's my MIL. She prefers lovely things from nice little expensive clothes shops but can't afford.

Janet

Works as a receptionist (at the GP's where she thinks she is a Doctor)

Lives in a Semi with net curtains

Thinks it's posh to have coloured loo roll and a matching peach loo seat cover

Is only about 50 but looks older than my mum who is 76.

OMFG, King Rolo

What hideous person designed such a hideous "frock" (for that is surely a frock rather than a dress)

My Mum!

Jane, or Sue or Penny or some other name trendy in the 60s
She's 55 and has young grandchildren
She lives in a 4 bedroo house but is thinking about downsizing as she has just had the last child fly the nest
She drives a street ka or a mini

She was a bright young thing in the 60s, and thinks she can still dress like as she's immortal. Goes on 3 package holidays a year - sod global warming its not going to affect her.
Reads the express or mail.

Yes, it's items like that frock that make me think Per Una is really aimed at middle aged transvestites.

Name: Brenda, Barbara or possibly Susan or Celia
Occupation: If not living from DH's salary then school reception, or PA to Bernard the accountant who is sort of a family friend really
What she eats: Avocado and Prawn sandwich for lunch, scones, always cooks a roast or goes to the local gastro pub for the same if Bernard and his wife invite them
Where she lives: The Shires

My mum - teacher, middle class, bit porky, over 50, no taste!! I think no taste is key tbh.

75 year old granny, with a young whipper-snapper 65year old friend.

FGS ....pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease stop !!!!

My very favourite pink jacket is per una and it was priced at £50 and I luuuuurve it,please dont pi** on my parade .

Nicks Chick - I am only joining in because Boden took such a bashing earlier Am sure your pink jacket is vision of loveliness

I like Boden and felt very defensive......sodding hate majority of Per Una though. It's like the store that style forgot!

my pink jacket is beyond lovely ...I adore it lol ......thankyou for being nice about my poor taste .

I hate Boden and Per Una!

no no no

she is an Art Teacher with trendy specs and a loose updo

please someone do a Primark woman id love to see the comments

Now Primark women, c'est moi!

Grisette - my Mum too!

She is Jane
Was working as an Admin Assistant until she was made redundant last year.
Now looking after grandchildren a few days a week.
Drives a Vauxhall Agila and holidays abroad and in the UK with their caravan.
Thinks Per Una is cutting edge and tuts every time she walks past French Connection.

quite right boys - kingrolo are your eyes alright? that model was probably only able to hold the shot a moment before ripping that appalling polyester from her skin to stop it burning.

i like some per una stuff. but their tailoring doesn't work for me (waist too small/ arse too large depending whether i size up or down) and i don't like 'frayed edge' finishing. i look messy enough without poor hemwork.

per una woman

48 (not a day over) named Susan
well-preserved
Art teacher is just about right boys
drives an Audi or mercedes because she wouldn't dream of having a smaller car than her husband.
Lives somewhere very nice, but very magnolia.

wears Per Una, but wants to wear Jaeger.

Oh help !

I was looking at the 'who is Boden woman?'thread today which then lead onto the link to the old thread in which Cod et al were describing names/people that ws hilarious.

I have lost it.

Can anyone link me in to it please ?

This is hilarious.

She is called Sue
She is 50-ish
She works 2 days a week at the local library
She is a terrible gossip
The spark has gone out of her love life with husband John and she has to nag him all the time to cut the lawn/wash the car/stop picking his nose
She likes gardening and spends weekends looking around garden centres
She isn't vastly overweight, but her love of cakes and puddings ("I have a sweet tooth"...) has made her.....cuddly
She thinks she looks like Helen Mirren (or perhaps one of the other slightly less glamorous Calendar Girls) but she really looks like a middle age lady who has got dressed in the dark
She will wear bootleg trousers until she dies
She wears a lot of scarves
She buys sensible shoes from Ecco and Clarks (she really likes the new trendy Clarks ads - makes her feel so With It!)
She dotes on her grandchildren but doesn't really approve of her dear DIL's child-rearing methods
She has a car in a weird colour - orange, aqua, purple (so funky!)
She has friends Derek and Maureen over every now and again for dinner - usually her famous chicken liver pate, followed by coq au vin and then sherry trifle for pudding (or maybe an M@S banoffi pie)
She uses sweetener in her tea/coffee ("I'm on a diet!") but then merrily dunks a procession of chocolate covered hobnobs into it......ah well, those Per Una clothes are very forgiving of a fat behind!

She wears control knickers underneath, which she calls a "pantie girdle" and would never be seen out without a (nylon) slip under her floaty elasticated waist polyester skirt. If she's wearing tights as well, she sometimes sparks, and looks like she might spontaneously combust if she ran for a bus.

is she the same as Tenalady ?
