Been so busy trawling through my paperwork I might have missed this but....

Does anyone know how BoB's daughter is doing today?

Now then.

OliveOyl - I noticed in there somewhere you were asking about a conference call? I don't have any advice about what to ask! Sorry! But didn't want your request to get lost in amongst all the underwear talk!

Speaking of which - I actually have a handmade corset In fact, there's, er, photographs of me on the internet wearing it and not very much else! :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl: My friend set up her own business making them a while back, and I was one of her guinea pigs, so got it for the price of the material (still darn expensive mind you!). It's GORGEOUS - bright shimmery turquoise, gold beads all down the front, laces up FABULOUSLY, it's great Actually, it took her a while to finish it off, and she took two panels out of the front because it had been a little small - and by the time I got it I'd lost over a stone :rotfl: Which i've now put back on, so it should fit perfectly! :j :j Must wear it again soon :j :j (definitely 'outer wear' though not under wear!)

OOoh, and recently, my little sister (with 3 small sons - the eldest of whom is only 4 :eek:) has set up making her own corsets too! :j :j I'm in the process of convincing her she needs to practice on me too Might convince her she needs to teach me how to do it! :j :j (she just learned by reading a book and practicing on herself!) She's more than happy to do commissions though

And I am SO going on that bra making course next year! Sod being an academic - I'd far rather make underwear! :rotfl: (or actually, do both - I did, after all, insist on a patchwork lifestyle!)

Mike's gone a bit quiet, too!

Getting my coat...


Did the ironing singing along to a recording of Paul McCartney live in New York. That boy can hold a tune. I must have produced a few ml of serotonin at least.

Broke a tooth yesterday and lacerated my tongue in the night on a sharp bit. Have been trying to smear iglu on the side of my tongue.

Could life get any better than this?


Thanks for caring.

Oh dear Mike! I think life probably could get a *little* bit better (well done on the ironing/singing combination though - it's the only way!)

I'm SHOCKED :eek: How very rude!

I have a friend who is a trained M&S Bra fitter, they are now instructed not to touch the ladies they are measuring........

They don't measure you properly anymore, they just bring things they "think" will fit :eek:

Corsets! Wow! Probably couldn't do it with my fingers (arthritic) but Cheery - if I make money at what I have planned, I'll buy one of yours

I'm glad to hear Bob's DD is cominghome.

I probably shouldn't jump in and take over my little sister's area of business - I'm sure that's what I used to do as a kid, and I seem to remember she didn't like it very much...

(not sure she wants to make bras though! )

Karmacat

Ooh, I didn't think of that .... but bras, thats different!
