    Actually talking about it has triggered a memory of being grudgingly invited to a birthday party by the girl next door. I was told it was party frocks but when I got there they were all in jeans and tshirts etc to play outside and I felt a right twit. I did go home and change but there was a lot of whispering and laughing at me about it in school the next day:(

    The little biatches:mad:

    One day we will all get together again with our party frocks on and have a fantastic night:beer:

    Even the blokes:rotfl:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    I still bear the mental scars from being dropped off at home after a party at the local cinema (by the party girl's parents, who had a mini-bus), and finding out later that everyone else went back to the party girl's house to play afterwards. :o

    I felt so left out. :(

    I found out months later that my Mum and Dad had made a big fuss about wanting to know exactly what time I would be home, so the parents had dropped me off early so as not to pee them off. No-one else's parents had made a fuss, only mine. :wall: They are still overbearing old fusspots to this day, bless them. :)

    Yep I looked at that too. But as we have just established, I never go anywhere to where it and it might be a tad OTT for the office:rotfl:

    I have a t-shirt with 6X therapist on the front of it. I love it but I really have to think about who will be at the venue. Usually wear it to beer festivals.

    My big faux pas was wearing a yellow t-shirt to the race for life. I had a swarm of black flies around me, and only me (and I hadn't even showered in my Imperial Leather that day!)

    I once walked down the street with a pair of tights trailing behind me out of one of my jeans legs:eek::rotfl:

    I feel your pain Lou. You've just reminded me of finding a pair of knickers velcroed to sleeve of a motorbike jacket.

    (They were mine, and the velcro was on the jacket - just incase you wondered!)
