Did anyone used to watch Catherine Tate? In particular that woman who worked in the office and asked loaded questions like 'guess how much my dress cost?'......yes?

Well she actually exists and I've been working with her all week :eek: I can only type here because I'm using my fingers. I finally bit my tongue totally off on Tuesday afternoon :eek: :rotfl:

......to set the scene for her finale today......she's a larger lady. I can't say she's not because she is and I mean no offence against any other larger ladies ANYWHERE! because I have none but she was obviously looking to be offended :o

The conversation started with her asking where I got my trousers. I told her they were Tesco girls school trousers and couldn't help telling her they cost me £1 :rotfl::rotfl:

....minor silence ......

then she says 'Do you think I look big' :eek: Jesus....what a question to ask she is big so I'm that corner where I can say 'nooooooo you don't look big' or I can say 'errrrm well yes you do look big because you are big' :eek: I didn't want to say either so I just said 'oh the thing about size is overrated......we all fit in our own bodies' Quite a good answer I thought. ......why me?? :eek:

Did she leave it there.....did she fiddle! 15 minutes later she says to me 'I know you think I'm big but at least I've got a waist' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I had to re-swallow a gob full of coffee at that point. I hadn't said anything of the sort and here she was justifying her waist to me :eek: (praying at this point she didn't show me it :eek:)

I know this post is savvy-esque and I'm sorry for that but I'm absolutely incredulous to have just received a text from a mutual colleague telling me that waist woman has told her I was 'ok' to work with but she thought I didn't like big people :eek::eek: the text finished with.....

.......did she show you her waist :eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And now I remember why I like working alone :cool:

She was no help you know, I was only trying to see if I should go for a waisted party dress.

Nah she was eating full price m&s sushi for lunch so I doubt it :rotfl:

And even if she was, I'd stand by the fact I insulted no-one :eek: that was one incident.....I got 'guess where I want on holiday' the first day I met her :eek: :rotfl: I said 'could we narrow that down a little' and she said ' no....guess' :rotfl::rotfl:

I hate people like that. Always ask if they stayed somewhere utterly utterly ridiculous (like a £40k a night hotel) and they'll have to say sheepishly "No, we only went to..."

It's the only way to get someone to stop getting you to guess at things :cool:

Thank you FC, for making me smile on a bleak day. :T:T:T

I have a few more.

Still not 100% happy though. Have another 5 in my basket. Brought one back from S'ton Monday, it's nice but just not quite what I really wanted, it is a bit plain jane but fits perfectly and in my usual size. And also one that arrived yesterday is quite nice too, and seeing as that was only a tenner I am keeping it whether I wear it to party or not.

I loved one of the Joe Brown dresses I ordered but ordering a size bigger than I am it was huge up top. :eek: I was good and took it back today. Too late to order it a smaller size as you can't get next day delivery on that range. And think it was designed for ladies with longer bodies than me.

I wish both times I have looked around Debenhams (s'ton and b'mth) I had seen the dresses I have in my online basket. As have one in two colours and one of those in two sizes for starters. Would have been easier to see instore but everything I looked at was too long even the petite ranges. :eek: And the petite ones I did think would have been ok length were not party wear at all.

I am fussy I know. :rotfl:

I beg to differ I like to keep on guessing and guessing and guessing, till they get sick, then not allow them to tell me as I want to guess some more.
