There something I read about if a man was left alone in a room with a teacosy it is a 90% certainty that within 2 minutes he'd be wearing it....why do they do this?

If anyone can answer then you might be well placed to tell me why my husband likes to pretend he's Steve McQueen, making motobike noises & holding out our springer spaniels ears as handlebars??

Sorry...completey off topic now. Can't believe we have found something we can't reuse/recycle. Come on now old stylers, get your thinking caps on!!

Thanks for the insight into family Lillibet;) poor young spud. What he hasn't inherited he will learn:eek:

There was a thread on Ol'Style back in the mists of time before the site was revamped about turning old bras into bedroom slippers. I think it was inspired by Joanna Lumley doing something similar on a prog where she was put on a desert island.

I would consider making some from one of Mrs MATH's old 'over the shoulder boulder holders' but I would need feet like Coco the clown.

It will seem better when the baby arrives, it will look like he's doing to amuse the poor infant...

Can the lacy bits be cut off and re-used as lavender bags?

My sister always cuts the bows and frills off her bras and gives them to me - I stick them onto handmade cards.

Not sure what you could use the other bits for though - what about elastic ties for freezer bags or is that just taking it a bit far!?

Although i could just give one of them to him to use as a hat seeing as he regularly puts them on his head any way :rolleyes: :

Ooohh he must have a small head or... else!!!!

Mado

Actually just had a brainwave....
How about little pot-pourri or lavender bags with the nice lacy ones... Just cut the cups out and stich them up with the filling and put a nice ribbon around.

Not for the A or GG cup though!

Was just going to suggest the Joanna Lumley idea of slippers! How about knee pads for when you're are doing the kitchen floor or the garden? Just sew a bit of elastic to each cup!

Or to put on your wrists for when you've been at the computer too long - help prevent those mouse callouses

or you could just......throw it away:eek:

Lets face it, Spud is doomed isn't he:eek:

I remember the Joanna Lumley cave shoes programme, she made them using the bra strap as an adujstable shoe strap & used the insoles out of her trainers to give them some form.

Phew, for a while there I was worried that we had finally met our match, Thanks for comming thru Math and Joanna Lumley, Mado & catznine :rotfl: :money:
