fowlbird Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 for years I've put everyone else's needs before my own and patiently waited for birthdays and xmas to get a few luxuries since I joined these forums I've resolutely not read threads promoting Omlet 'must haves'... and then.... in the last seven days I've commissioned the making of TWO bags, I've shamelessly ordered Naked for myself (it helped that there was a 50% off code )and I have even put myself on Lesley's list for a red Joanna Lumley hat then today I went out to buy some yarn and came back without yarn but with a bagful of books, other bits and pieces (this is where it gets ) and a cardigan... I didn't need the cardigan, I went in to see if they had any nice sensible jackets in their 50% off sale for those windy days out in the shires on top of that the cardigan is PINK GIRLY PINK I don't DO pink so aren't you lot ashamed of yourselves?

Snowy Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I can empathise with the pink thing ... I don't do pink, it doesn't suit me and I am the farthest from a girlie girl you can imagine. But in a house full of men I think my hormones are rebelling (the chickens help) and I do sometimes catch myself coveting something just a little bit pink and sparkly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fowlbird Posted January 24, 2009 Author Share Posted January 24, 2009 I didn't mind in 1984 when I was pregnant and craved pink all the time - the baby turned out just as I suspected - all girly and pink but now???? at this rate people will stop asking me why I dress like a lesbian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiblick Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 oh fowlbird you totally crack me up! I too have made recent forays into pink, well I have one Boden shirt which doesn't fit me... I have severe issues with pink but am trying to get over them! Oh the other topic I'm try to go the other way with regard to spending, I never denied myself anything, of course my anythings were books & medieval clothing so not exactly high street shopping.

Lesley Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Pink is - as long as it's not baby pink! My Mum dressed me and my slightly younger sister as twins - she always wore a blue version of everything and I always had red. I wanted blue......or at least pink I've only gone over to proper pink in the last few years - must be a hormonal thing Snowy! My daughter was never into pink and when she had Lauren she didn't really dress her in pink very often. Lauren never was a girly girl until recently she took a liking to Barbie! She does like my favourites - deep pink and purple - though At least with Omlet must-haves we're all buying things we know are good value, will work properly and are usually in just the right colours!

fowlbird Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 that's it! I thought it was because I've been so ill on and off all winter and this was a kind of therapy but now I see - it's THE IAN FACTOR at work. You might think he's just dosing in the armchair, Poet, but he's doing it again because just a few minutes ago I ordered a V-neck, an anorak and a fleece from the Cotton Trader's website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redhotchick Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Fowlbird, I would love to wear pink but it just doesn't suit me. Now I feel the need to go out and buy a pink top, just to check. :sigh: I will add "Pink top" to the list of things I want but haven't bought. Yet.
