    The ones left here are full of cobwebs and I don't know how old they are. The ones gifted to me look like new (they're not, friend had lived in a number of flats with storage heating). You'd be welcome to them. But it would involve meeting :eek:

    I find leaving them on the drive and sitting in the pub helps that.

    I haven't quite worked out the busts yet as big ones are so heavy (so drag the fabric down) and I want to avoid using cups...but I think they are unavoidable.


    DD bought in some swimwear for her website and sold loads of it and it was she that prompted me to re-visit the toiles as she had quality and fit issues. She said 'mum, you have got to finish these, we'll sell loads'' so can't argue with that.


    Actually, she did a funny thing tonight. A Towie was in DM Online in a frock that she stocks on her site except she has different colourways. She was grumbling about it today as she can't get that colour.....so at about 5pm, she photoshopped the picture of the Towie into one of the colours she does have in stock and posted it in her Instagram. I think she sold about 4 in an hour (which is a lot for her and it is a £60 item).


    Big bodies are a night mare for swim ware. Breasts to this other thing if not well housed ( so etching too low cut and not supportive enough. ) which is float out :eek:

    But bodies don't put weight on in the same way. I'll not say no to any help anywhere, but while breasts benefit from help, I think my butt is ok. Everything else could do with swim wear spanx though.
    :rotfl:

    If you wanted to man handle some big breasts and play with fabric fabric I could lend you mine some time?

    Sausages and beans and chips are a match made in the 7 year old Doozergirl's heaven.

    In the BHS cafe on a paper plate with spacemen on and a paper cup of cherryade.

    I'm not a huge fan of baked beans (none consumed during the breakfast with PN, I assume they were offered), but every now and again they are ok.

    Do you know, I can't remember now! I remember it was grilled tomatoes and not tinned .... so I just checked - and yes there were beans, so I'd have had them.
    .... pork sausages, back bacon, eggs, potato rosti, baked beans, tomatoes and brown or white toast. Top it off with our potato, bacon, cheese and onion hash, lovingly handmade in our kitchens each morning.

    Quite often one of the letters in pn turns in to an 'o' I don't know what that is about.

    O is next to P on a keyboard, and most people who don't know our PN will only type pn when they meant on.

    Drat. Didn't know that was on. Is it being repeated soon?

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

    If you don't use cups is there any way of making nipples non-obvious?

    I'm sure you'll be able to catch Educating Yorkshire One Year On via the demand service. It was a lovely programme.

    Had a sniffle again when they showed Musharaf being able to speak fluently with the headphones on from last year - and the progress he's made in the intervening period.

    He's also got his own TV programme, about Stammmering School - can't remember when that one starts.

    Yes, but didn't cover much ground.... and I found it ended suddenly.

    She was pretty clueless about recent history - e.g. didn't know that Italians joined up with the Germans in WW2 and that Italians in Britain were taken and held on the Isle of Man in case they were spies/similar - which you'd have expected her to know as her family were from Italy.

    Overall it's worth watching, but it does stick with one fairly unremarkable family member who was just a "pretty good bloke", her great-grandfather. Nothing shocking, no going back loads of generations, etc. Just pretty much found out about her great-grandfather and Italian ice cream..... watch out when she makes it, there's a money shot :)
