    You should turn up dressed like this, and push El-fatso out the way with a pithy comment along the lines of "Move over lard-ar-se".

    I don't want to offend the lady but I don't want to disadvantage myself to ease her insecurity.

    My husband has a friend he has known for a few years now and I have met him twice. Recently this friend suggested meeting up with himself and his wife on Saturday nights which I don't really have any problem with. However she is very large and not good on her feet because of her obesity and my hubs friend has told him previously how attractive I am which is a nice complement. Last week when he saw my husband he asked him to tell me not to wear skinny jeans or heels because his wife cant wear those sort of things and will feel left out. My hubby thought that was out of order and told him so. She is older than me at 55 and I don't want to make her feel bad but I wont look older or bigger than what I am. What do others think? socialise with them or avoid. And no im not trolling or full of myself.

    :rotfl::rotfl: You are so funny.

    No-one should wear leggings/skinnies I don't care how fat/thin you happen to be :p They don't flatter ANYBODY!

    Don't worry, your personality will cancel out any perceived looks 'advantage'.

    Well, just ask yourself this question:

    "What would Pippa do?"

    And don't forget to walk backwards into the room to ensure that others don't inadvertently miss your famous asset/!!!!.

    Don't worry! I'm sure you make a lasting impression wherever you go.

    It's not your fault she ate all the pies.

    You therefore shouldn't be punished.

    It's not as if you "owe" her anything, or she's been a lifelong friend.

    Life's too short for people with nothing better to do than whine about stuff like that.

    Life is too short to read posts from Bluelass!

    I think you must be confusing skinnies with high waisted jeans.
