There is irony in me starting this second thread for you lovely Blanket Makers, as I'm the least crafty person, but I'm doing it to help Pidj Smile

That is marvellous, Piste Grin

Glad it wasn't me at my place of work. I could not have explained my way out of that one so easily.

Pouffe

My dad parents is have one

Disclaimer: my dad is 64 and looks 44. I heva banned him from skinny jeans because they discredit his 30 year marriage to my mum. Even though he has a better figure than most men half his age. I do his clothes shopping for him. He wears etnies trainers and gap jeans with burton/topman shirts

Grin 57 minutes til I escape, then only 24 hours of this job til I can sleeeeeeeeeeeeeep. Except lovely dp is treating me to a posh facial and has booked it for half ten in the morning! Ah well. I feel dodgy maybe I'll throw up in the night and have to have 2 days off

KnottyLocks · 04/07/2011 19:06

You'd have to grease my father in order to get him into Gap jeans.

purplepidjin · 04/07/2011 19:22

My dad's got a smaller waist than dp Shock although dad's a weedy streak of nothing Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 04/07/2011 19:41

I'd need a whole tub of lard for my legs and then another for my arse to get into gap skinnies Blush

Pistey unashamedly forgets all others and fawns over new girl Knooty, instantly developing a deep and meaningful crush on her, admiring her supersoft superbouncy sculpted waves and her sprayed on arse.....

Thank God you are here Knooty, it was getting a bit rocky, there are those on here who favour linen trousers. < gasp>

Sadly Pistey?s crush is unrequited, and even an invitation to the Fourth Form midnight feast down by the pool is rejected by a toss of those supersoft superbouncy sculpted waves. Pistey retreats broken hearted......

Linen trousers Shock

Surely you mean a linen trouser ?

RatherBeOnThePiste · 04/07/2011 21:58

Pistey is finding her unrequited crush on First-Rate-Flicky-New-Girl Knooty totally sad-making, but is desperate to move on in a dignified manner and with her pride intact.....

Sadly she is doomed to failure, so comfort eats on sardines, hard boiled eggs and gingerbread, and simply blows up......
