How ridiculous.

It's a good job Dizziblonde has left the forum because that is the most condescending thing I have seen on a forum in a long while.

Well, if it was condescending, that wasn't how it was intended and I apologise to anyone who may be offended by my own take on my own weight problems - perceived or otherwise.

Can you say that your posting of that bloody awful picture (bad enough in it's own right anyway but aimed at someone is beyond the pale) and subsequent accusations that she's a liar were meant to be anything other than downright rotten?

Can I just point out ab that Dippychick said fattist witch not fattie....

Get yourself Photoshopping.

P.S. My great-grandparents used to run a business making besums ...(I wonder if that could explain something. No, not the warts and hooked nose before you say it!)

Hi, I don't really know where to put this, I have a large black T-shirt with Robert Smith from "The Cure" on it in white. I want to cut it up and customize it to make it look a bit more funky. I'm a size 10 and 22 years old but it's a big mans T-shirt and just doesn't look that good at the mo! Any ideas where I should start or suggestions what I could do to it would be very welcome!
Thanks!

I prefer to use the phrase spiteful old besom, personally, usually coupled with a few choice Norse words immediately before the phrase.

I had a besom rather than a plastic broom. All anyone ever asked was whether I planned on flying to the shops on it (sigh).

Besoms are old style. Do you think I should post my witch down there or do you think they will think the fashionistas are coming back.

If I was you, Id start by slashing the neck. I HATE t shirts on me, they dont suit me at all, so the first thing I do is take the neck out. Measure a couple of inches down either shoulder, and then, say, 2 inches down the front, and two inches down the back. Then get scissor happy and 'join the dots' so to speak. You could also try the old 'twist and roll' to bring it in, and make it more fitted. Just grab and handful of material at the front, and twist it til it comes in on itself, and tuck it in. I used to do that to tops on shoots a lot (but Id do it in the back, where no one could see it!!), but a cute little knot on the front, on a flat tummy, looks fab, and VERY 80s, which is a HUGE look for this Autumn, and at your age, you can get away with it!!

ETA.... Either that, or if you're a 'petite' size ten, you could try belting it at the waist and wearing it as a dress. With bare legs and a pair of 'shoots' it'd look fantastic.

What I meant was that I would probably have said **** off you spiteful old besom to anyone being nasty to me, rather than using a phrase such as fattist witch. It's the sort of thing my grandfather used to mutter under his breath when he was a stablehand and the trainer's wife would sweep in and make nasty comments. No criticism, just me going off on a tangent
