Well, I was a child in the 50s and this sort of thing was nothing like what life was like in our house. Mum ruled, dad did what he was told to keep the peace.

Same here.

Must admit if it was down to me to make clothes for my family we would have to walk round naked. I don't have the patience or the inclination.

Our Sunday's were a bit like this
dreary!
arguments and insults
With Dad coming from the working mans club a bit cheeky
He got it in the neck on a Monday morning though

PS
Sorry we've gone off topic but it's so funny
Reading the 50s posts

Imagine giving a modern day teenage girl a bed jacket
Or different coloured gloves for a gift

My neighbours daughter/madam is stamping her feet for a
Michael Kors bag!!!!
She won't be getting one knowing her dad!

He thinks like me
Designer clothes are for mugs!

Oh poo I've just lost a post about growing up in the 60's, married in the 80's, still got all that rubbish from mum :rotfl:
Oh I wonder if she was right and that's why I'm divorced now? :eek::rotfl:

Anyway - drumroll please - today I have taken a whole car load of rubbish to the tip - all from my loft - mostly random bits of wood that clearly I or the previous owners thought might come in handy one day. Feel ridiculously happy about this!

Keep up the good work my fellow Konverts

Great post, whitesatin! I don't know many teenage boys who would appreciate dancing lessons!!

I kondoed my socks, underwear, pyjamas and gym clothes. Showed OH and he was less than impressed "you've got too much time on your hands" he says...just wait til I sort out his drawers too!

You will have even more time on your hands as well when you've finished Kondoing!

Hello kondo queens

I just burritoed my duvet and it worked
Cracking on with more clothes this afternoon. This is going to take a lot longer than I thought with everyday stuff getting in the way but I will get there

Fifties housewives my arris. Mum was taken in by a couple then in their fifties (in the early 1950s) as a foster child. She as well under 10 but quickly twigged who wore the trousers in that household and it wasn't the hubby. Many a 'housewife' ruled the roost with a rod of iron and their hubbies were there on sufferance. I suspect that article was wishful thinking on a scribbler's part.

Today I have kond0'd a handblender out to the chazzer which takes electricals because it was causing me frustration and annoyance, the opposite of joy. And have done a few bits and bobs around the house inc some very old stylish scrubbing of the kitchen floor. It took simply ages, darlings!

OK, that's a dirty rotten lie, my whole kitchen is 6 x 6 ft so the wee bit of floor visible hardly takes any time at all. I have also cleaned my mirrors and damp dusted the lampshades, made bread dough, now proving and slammed half a cow into a casserole dish on a low oven.

In between I have met a friend for a natter and am reading a murder mystery. Oh, and you don't want to wear lipstick when sewing or you'll accidentally transfer it onto the sewing pins when holding them in your mouth.:rotfl:

*Adds 'char' to Amaz@n wish list *

Have been baking this morning, whilst doing the 'waiting' in the kitchen have sorted another box of bits, things like broken plastic lunch boxes that take up waaay too much room - all in the recyling now.

Am working up the stamina to work through paperwork - might have a little sunday afternoon tipple and fold the laundry first......:p
