I think they are slacks if they have elasticated waist and a crease down the front double.

DoubleMum · 22/05/2013 19:32

Phew! Definitely not slacks. I can relax.

Grin Come join me with the outrageous shenanigans

RandallPinkFloyd · 22/05/2013 21:35

Ooh, go nuts. Get a mac in a racy red instead of taupe Wink

If it's any consolation, some of the cheese I got from the food show last week I bought because it came with a free mini cool bag which I though looked rather useful.

DoubleMum · 22/05/2013 21:50

Given I pretty much wear black, beige is racy enough for me at the moment. If I tried a red coat on I might just spontaneously combust. When I am a size 10 supermodel of course it might all be different.

OP posts:
DoubleMum · 22/05/2013 21:52

Have just realised supermodels are probably not size 10. But think perhaps size 10 is all I can realistically aim for, given I haven't seen it since about age 10.

Does the fact that I have just got in from being at a gig and on a school night mean I am officially a non menopausal, non beige slack wearing , veritable slip of a girl???
However I will admit to a disturbing little peak of interest in randalls mention of the little cool bag that the cheeses came in... I have done the same at food shows, really rather exciting (wonders if it had any cheese branding on the outside)..... Ok, shoot me before you do yourself Randall.
Fast day tomorrow, big yawn. But it's working so will keep on it. Night all.

DoubleMum · 23/05/2013 07:23

You might just be the coolest Chief Dinky. Unless it was a Cliff Richard gig.

How were Showaddywaddy? Grin

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 23/05/2013 10:56

I once saw Boney M. Which is almost on a par with Bucks Fizz ... whose 'gig' I also attended. I realise this does not help my old lady image. But I feel I need to share this information.

I don't do no beige though. Unless it features in Vogue at which point in time you can find me scouring the high street for beige and wearing it head to foot like the "mutton-dressed-as-lamb' dresser that I am. I wonder when I am going to discover age appropriate dressing. My boys think I'm embarrassing but do consult me over clothes purchases and discussions about what is cool to wear

I've lost a lb to take me to the weight I was before. We're going on holiday on Sunday for a week so no doubt I will get the opportunity to loose that pound again!

DoubleMum · 23/05/2013 11:13

I saw Michael Jackson when I was about 18, which was ever so embarrassing at the time (went as friend had spare ticket) but now luckily appears to have been magically transformed into something cool.
I have discovered I do own a pair of trousers that have an elasticated waist at the back. However, they definitely do not have creases at the front. Does this save them from slack-hood?

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 23/05/2013 20:14

Boney M, Bucks Fizz and Michael Jackson? Shock
Only thing I have ever won was a Bucks Fizz album when I was 9. Thrilled is an understatement. I luuurrrved Bobby from Bucks Fizz.

My first ever concert was Spandau Ballet when I was 10. With my Dad Grin

LaundryLegoLunch · 23/05/2013 20:39

Ahh Bucks Fizz, my dream was to get one of those snazzy skirts that could be pulled off to reveal a shorter skirt. I loved Making Your Mind Up.

For your viewing pleasure:

I have had a satanic icecream splurge. Feel a bit sick.

OP posts:
TeaMakesItAllPossible · 24/05/2013 10:42

I have licked the bowl out for two cakes ... pecan and lemon ... and I too feel a little a little sick, more specifically like someone has crapped sugar paste in my gob.

I will atone later with a run. By writing it here I'm hoping the running becomes true without me having to put too much effort in.

With that video you have really spoilt us. They were brill.

TheTigerDidntComeToTea · 24/05/2013 10:52

Ah Double Bucks Fizz were brilliant -weren't they!
Tea did you find a skirt on Pinterest?

Was Dh's birthday yesterday, I made this cake. It was huge though so I've brought half of it into work today to get it out of my fridge. I had a tiny slice but it was very rich so I couldn't each much anyway. The kids ate loads - but they need fattening up! I shall divide the rest round family tonight.

DoubleMum · 24/05/2013 11:34

OMG that cake!
It's not so much the MC Hammer concert it's whether you were wearing nappy trousers. Mind you Justin Beiber wears them, can't you just imagine how embarrassed he's going to be in 10 years' time.
Tea licking the bowl makes you lose weight. Scientifically proven.

OP posts:
TheTigerDidntComeToTea · 24/05/2013 11:43

Definitely didn't wear the trousers - OMG no!

I love making cakes, but tbh after a day of whipping cream, melting chocolate and creaming butter - never mind the packets of sugar - I start to feel a bit ill. So I never eat as much of it as I think I will when I see the picture. It's going down well in the office though!

LaundryLegoLunch · 24/05/2013 12:54

I've just made these for DH as he's been away with work all week, I use smarties instead of choc chips. I have eaten my own weight in raw dough. It's clearly something about the hideous weather making us all comfort eat.

It's ds2's birthday tomorrow and I'm heading out now to pick up his Spider-Man cake. I'm really excited about eating it seeing his face when he sees it.

DoubleMum · 24/05/2013 16:19

I have promised the DCs I will teach them to cook over half term, so I shall attempt to steer them towards healthier recipes. So far I am doing OK on calories as satanic icecream has replaced actual meals.

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 24/05/2013 16:23

So much cake! Shock
That is a beast of a cake Tiger, looks fab though.

I have been undone by flapjack bites. Bloody lush.

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 24/05/2013 18:14

Tiger that looks amazing. Just wow. I think I'll have a go at that when I've recovered from my current birthday induced baking overload. I'm such a novice. I've just got the last bit to add to my first tiered creation. It looks a bit shite shabby chic. I might add some twigs n shit to the top instead of some minecraft characters. in the meantime happy to get a job in your office.

Lego Cookies? Smarties? I'll be round in a couple of hours. I'm sure I won't get in the way of your reunion with DH Wink

I seem to have eaten some marzipan too. Oops. I've also managed to dye myself a monobrow and one sidey in liquorice black, a la Noel Gallagher, whilst dying the icing a variety of shades of grey.

Jesus. I'm a Manc scally with a fake black monobrow and a big feck off cake that looks like it's got rags on.

I thought I might be glamorous and sophisticated if I weighed less. Apparently this is not true!

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 24/05/2013 18:17

I'd just like to clarify, as I seem to have implied it is. It isn't a shades of grey cake for 9YO DS3. It's minecraft with bricks. My excessive fake facial hair is a result of bricks not cake porn.

RandallPinkFloyd · 24/05/2013 19:05

I'm avoiding all pictures and talk of cake, it all sounds way too delicious. Even Tea's porn cake Wink

After thinking it was going to be me and DS completely alone for the next week turns out this weekend is going to be fun after all. My sister is coming round tonight for a mini Randall and XDH has made a surprise babysitting offer for Sunday so I shall be having a proper BBQ themed Randall.

I have not prepared. This weeks weigh-in will not be a good one!
