    Trousers are hit and miss ATM. He has a pair of combats on today that are minimode I think - 12-18m and they are turned up. But he was in a pair of Saisburys jeans 12-18m yesterday and they were erring towards the short side.

    It is mainly a t-shirt thing for us too....although I don't want to buy too many short sleeves because then he will end up in long sleeved vests under them in winter again (and I am rubbish at getting the cuffs clean :o)



    I would worry that Benjamin would get cold. He sleeps in a vest and sleepsuit and we quite often put his little oil filled radiator on to keep the temperature up in the night.

    If it drops below 19 degrees he wakes in the night *shrugs* good job our kids are a different as their mothers!!

    Will need to buy him some bed socks :D
    We've given up on vests now, the poppers annoyed us :o
    When he gets old enough to want to play with the contents of his nappy we will go back to them now doubt!!!

    Get some long sleeved white t shirts and bleach them when they dont come clean in the wash ;)

    You don't want to dress slutty but you don't want to look dowdy either. Just what you are - a young mum with an open mind looking for a job.

    Will you be getting a discount that you can share with your friends? ;):D


    Edit - not that my goody drawer gets any action these days - last night I fell asleep on hubby whilst he was getting all smoochy!!

    I can't wear skirts MFD! I have awful calves, I have polish farm wife legs! I usually wear leggings and a dress of some sort, but I have big boobs so probably always looks slightly provocative :eek: this guy is probably an uber perv so im not sure which approach to take on this :p

    well I'm hoping if I get it I will get to sample new lines (but not the anal beads or owt! :p)
  • I can't say I have every examined the legs of a polish farm wife but I take it that it is not a compliment ;)

    Just because he runs an adult shop doesn't mean he is an uber perv....you should know better than to be casting aspersions than those working in adult shops!!

    I need a bit of advice, I have a job interview in an "adult shop" next week as a sales assistant, it's a brand new shop. How should i dress to this interview? He's not asked for a CV or anything, and I called about it yesterday and I know my mum did too but he texted her today saying she was unsuccesful for an interview, I can only think he wants younger people working there?

    I need this job, kicking keira's dad out, he has until saturday to get the hell out of my life, so it will just be me and her, and probably a private nursery and poorness ensue!
    I'd wear a blouse and trousers, but possibly put a vest under the blouse and have the top few buttons undone? And a smart jacket but not necessarily a suit jacket IYSWIM.

    Really hope it works out for you! Take a CV with you and leave it with him even if he doesnt ask for it. Good luck xxx

    I don't mean he's an uber perv because he is opening an adult shop, no no no, just from the tone of his voice on the phone, and the fact he didn't even give my mum an interview even though she has 100X more experience working with the general public than I do.

    I'm not bothered anyways, I'm a bit of a pervert myself and enjoy a bit of banter :p

    No lol polish farmer legs aren't good. They are ........sturdy :p

    Cheers Em. I'll whip up a CV :D (I don't even own a shirt/blouse/skirt) Shows you how often I ever er work or apply for jobs!

    Is that not what tights / hold ups are for? I'm sure you will look fine in a skirt with tights and heels. As in your facebook photos you look far from being whatever I would imagine a polish farmers wife to look like. Not that I spend much time imagining what one would look like.?????

    However you do look like you had a very good time at the arms meet in Manchester. ;) Stalker? who me?

    Edit - I wouldn't get Benjamin in a sleeping bag for anything these days!

    Mind you we are a tad further south than you aren't we MFD so I guess we are a bit warmer than you are..(if what my sister says is anything to go by!!) And bith my boys are always really warm... Henry generally wears T shirt and shorts in bed all year round :eek:
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    I stalked those pics too, I thought it was lovely to see Buttons and DKAM/AM having a good time, two people very deserving of having one IMO :D

    DKAM never posts here any more :(

    Oh WM don't mention those photos :eek: I was having nervous sweats looking at them, I'm rat @rsed in them! I was actually more drunk at 3pm, and was spewing in a toilet by 4pm! bad times :p

    I don't mean bad calves like they have varicose veins or scars, I meant they sheer bulk of them. I regularly get asked if Im a cyclist because they are incredibly large!!
