I've got these two pairs of knickers from Primani - they look a hideous grey (courtesy of my washing machine that doesn't always get rid of the dirty water). But they're the boy short, no VPL, really easy to wear-type that, guess what - they don't make anymore. So, they're great under trousers.
!

Thank god I am not the only one who can't find the boy short knickers anymore.:rotfl: (I call them girl boxers)

I have hunted high and low and am stuck with the few pairs I have left. The only ones you can get now are too low cut at the front and don't hold me in:rotfl:

Can someone please hunt some down and let us know?

Maybe I should import them I would make a killing:money:

My type are almost sheer mesh at the back and no elastic at the legs, so that's why I like them under trousers - no VPL. I just came across them at Primani one day and grabbed a couple of pairs and thought 'I'll get more if they work out'. Never seen them since.

I tried a similar style from M&S with the inbuilt elastic in the waist. Well, didn't they work their way down beneath my buttocks PDQ, despite the fact I was wearing them with trousers. Most uncomfortable!

Maybe we can start making them and get the money for ourselves. There's obviously a market out there for the style.

I've never had any of these knicker shorts from primarni and feel like i've missed out now I had 2 pairs from m@talan BUT they were awful. Low cut at the front so belly hung over & riding up at the back ! The only redeeming feature on them was they had a nice picture on ...kermit frog ....hahaha!

Morning!

Done the ironing to get it out of the way :T. Put a wash on and tidied the kitchen. I'm done for today now :rotfl:. I've just checked the bank and the dps money is in :j:j. But I don't want to transfer it to savings just yet as we are so short this month i'm thinking "what if I need it". So I will pretend it's not there and carry on as normal and see how I go. I desperately want to put it all into savings though so I will tell DH it's already gone so he doesn't mentally spend it three times over like i usually do :D.

I've called up about my policy that is maturing as i've not received the paperwork yet! This is twice it's gotten lost in the post now . So the lady has emailed it to me to print off. Thing is I don't have a printer so I need to go find somewhere to do that in a bit! Will post it back to them recorded I think even though it costs a lot I don't want it all going missing again like their post seems to! That money is definitely going to the savings though .

The dog wants a walk and it's sunny today so will take him off out after i've sorted out the printer issues! I really must get a printer...........!

Won't be a NSD as it's youth club night but that is budgeted for and only £2 for 2 kids so it's sort of a nsd as money is put aside and definitely a LSD

:rotfl: never too late to butt into a knicker chat :rotfl:pun intended in my rubbish attempts to make a joke

I honestly feel like i'm still in debt sometimes and i've no idea why :eek: I daren't spend any money and when I do I feel such guilt for it . Suppose a little nervousness is good, think I would like to loosen up just a little though!

P.s recycling bins have arrived! I don't have a huge kitchen diner anyway so they have now been put in the garden, the old bin removed and the kitchen has more space :T I also ordered a pack of 3 because it worked out cheaper, but I only needed two so I used the third in the front porch to put wellies in . They were in an old toy box before and overflowing everywhere so now they are in a much bigger box with a lid so looks much tidier :T.

I should be getting my wages today so I'm going to check spreadsheets and see how much I need for the rest of the month and transfer whatever is left over to savings Be back later to report how much!

All that went right over my head too..
Which is a first; have several idiosyncrasies, but wearing knickers on head ain't one of 'em. :rotfl:

Know what you mean. After years of scrimping and being nervous every time a bank letter arrives, it's very hard not to worry about non-essential spends when finances aren't so dire any more.

This spend sounds well worth it - I still shudder when recollecting the mountain of coats, wellies and dog-towels we used to have dumped in the porch.

Wages paid, hoping my maths isn't too bad as I've topped emergency fund up by £150 and also put £250 into ISA :j:j hoping to add more as month goes on though :T watch this space ....
