Ha Carolyn, many years ago I had a body that had hook and eyes instead of poppers and I got hooked to my chair at my desk (I had a short skirt on). At the time I was working in a mainly male office and sat there for hours squirming trying to free myself without getting into an embarrassing position. Had to wait until lunch time when they all shot off to the pub then get a couple of female co workers to free me, which after they stopped laughing they finally did.
Youd think they would have come up with something that took a mammogram picture that didn’t have flatten our poor boobies by now. Pretty sure if men had to have them they would have sorted it by now xx
Does anyone else thing that those flat metal plates aren’t gonna stop, and panic a bit…that they are gonna keep on pressing till you are just…well…totally squishe’d (trying to not be too gory here lol)
Lesley
That is so funny …anyone remember knitted ponchos …they always looked elegant in the magazines …I got mine stuck in car doors etc and looked like Clint Eastwood in drag !!
Anyone remember bay city rollers …well I had check trousers …gosh i must have looked like Rupert bears eccentric aunty !!
Trust me to.lower the tone of this thread.
Oh Lesley, it had to be you! That’s hilarious. I had a jumpsuit the zips broke on once but the body takes the biscuit! Dizzy I remember being a bridesmaid in Laura Ashley - I thought I was the bees knees with the embroidered smock!
I think our tests are between two plates but spinning discs sounds like a 007 torture Bond would try and escape from!
Late finish tonight but feeling better than I have for a while. I’m sure two days off meds can’t have such a quick drop in side effects?
Beth I hope a good day today. Rubycat lovely arty garden pic and Helena your border services are needed down here! Delly you have a busy time coming up. I allow you 5 minutes less task time each day!! Xx
Ooh my claim to fame was working in the office where the Bay City Rollers and Bowie’s management was - right next door to the phone box on the Ziggy Stardust album. Sadly before I worked there. I was, however an Osmonds rather than Bay City fan - Bowie my favourite as a moody teen! X
I had to get out Charys and compose myself and go back in.The sandwich toaster is very claustrophobic .Delly yes,I think you are right the wicked queen may be behind Snow Whites injuries…
Love it Rubycat. Seems we’ve all got funny fashion stories. Love looking back at old photos seeing how hideous I looked when I though at the time I was the bees knees. That’s what I love about today’s fashion, basically you can wear any length of skirt that you fancy whereas back in the day you had to wear whatever fashion dictated, also any style, be it classic, funky, causal, whatever suits you. I remember when I used change my handbag to match my shoes, no one does that these days. I was never a big pop fan when I was a teenager, I loved Tamla Motown, reggae, and classical music, my friends always thought I was a bit odd as I used to buy classical LP’s instead of the latest chart hits.
Smocks and floppy hats, bit of a hippy then Helena, they’re fashionable now in the summer again, you can relive your youth. I’m too short to get away with anything like that. Right, time for painkillers and bed. Discovered a new author Sharon Bolton, so grabbed a few of her books from the library, really gripping and different. Highly recommend her. Night all xx
Ruby - Where do you find these Guffawly funny cartoons and piccies from!!
David Cassidy, Bays City Rollers, The Osmands !! - I’d av thought you a loada Mamby Pambys! Ha Ha. Deep Purple, Led Zep, Cream, Atomic Rooster for me (how on earth did they come up with a name like that!). Cheese cloth blouses and the tightest of tightest flairs/loons, you’d have to lie down and put a wire coat hanger through the zipper tab hole to pull them up. No wonder I have a double chin - all that squidging up and in back then. Jumpsuits - trailing on the loo floor, whilst you had to sit there in all your naked glory…
Lesley - Your stuck “in” body experience, as opposed to “out of body experience” - bloomin typical.
Carolyn - I only wear thongs. No, am not “gloating” girls. Don’t have a knicker drawer, only thong drawer. S’all to do with VPL. Is that vane? Oh okay then - it’s either vane or self torture. . . . by cheese-wire. Has taken me a while to find comfey, none cheese-wire ones and gradually replace the standard knicks with. How they can warrant the price of basically, a lacy elastic band, goodness only knows. What we girls do for or pay for, in the price of vanity (or a smooth ar*e in a pair of pants 'ey!!!)
Ruby - Brill, brill photo and caption, hahahee.
Juicy-Janey - naaaaooo, don’t give me priveleges. Am doing MORE because of. NO, don’t go lightly on me - BIG mistake. I need to get back to good habits and keep myself harnessed to them, and have YOU keep me in check, woman. You got to keep the walnut whip going!!
How many ladies sat in the bath with new jeans on to shrink them to fit …ok until u took them off and had blue dye on legs and bottom !! Oh what a relief when gypsy dresses and skirts came into fashion …pure comfort !! Then there was tight midi skirts with poppers up the front …if u got up quickly the poppers undid and u stood up in your knickers …skirt still on chair !!
Thank heaven for leggings and baggy jumpers now !!
Carolyn - praps you ought to write a funny article for something, on fashion blunders!! Ginormous collars and then Dallas shoulder pads an’ all. Hold up stockings that end up round your ankles etc. etc.
Oh Delly …I had forgotten the hold up stockings …if they did stay up it was because the elastic was so tight …it almost cut off the blood supply in the legs !
Quite liked shoulder pads …they squared my body up so my hips / bum didn’t look so big !

He has actually moved someway forward in accepting his condition I think this week. He ordered an overbath seat so that he can get into and out as our shower is over the bath. I didnt know he had ordered it until it arrived on Monday. I put it upstairs and he used it on Tuesday, he was soooo impressed with it. He actually told me he had not been happy having a shower for the last 9 months because of the fear of falling, that was a massive step for him to admit that. I told him every time I left the house I worried about when he had a shower that he would fall whilst I was out. Small steps but at least they are happening. He also finished work on illhealth retirement two weeks ago so that is another worry off his mind.
