Popcorn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well, I was thinking more along the lines of a contemporary 'dunces' hat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 1)Sun Canopy Poor old Kate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffie Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Ah, couldn't think of the name!! If they are Kates knickers (1940's) they won't be contemporary, will they? Bx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Well I'm so glad my undergarments have tickled you all!! I'm sure we can come up with more uses for them than that though!! Gina, I'm not too sure about the headgear though - I get funny enough looks when I wear them over my tights with my T-shirt tucked in . Sun canopy - yes, probably enough material for that if you're thinking of a parasol type thingy! By the way - I'm behind on the washing this week and have had to resort to small ones and they are just not the same !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Kate - you sound just like my Darren. We really have a laugh sometimes when he wears his 2 sizes too small 'briefs'. He calls them his 'end of the month emergency pants'! He's much more suited to boxer shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Yes, my little ones are definitely emergency pants - I wouldn't wear them for any other reason! Give me big bloomers anytime !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna 1 Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Had to go to the chiropractor this morning and realised while I was getting into my little modesty robe that I was wearing giant bloomer pants! Usually try to reserve something less granny-like for the chiropractor who is young and definitely stylish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I have a friend (female) who is an osteopath and she used to tell me what the male osteopaths used to say about clients underwear. If your chiropractor/osteopath has to go and get someone to 'help him with a manoeuvre' get your clothes on and run - they will be coming in to admire your underwear.

Mrs Frugal Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 I saw a pretty amazing selection whilst nursing but I'd rather be greeted by huge sturdy underwear than scanty dental floss stuff that doesn't keep anything under control, wouldn't you !

Lesley Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 All newspapers are biased to some degree - just depends on whether you agree with the bias Lesley, you are right. I will go and stand in the corner with Kate's big knickers on my head There's a good one to add to your 101 uses Buffie At least you're still speaking to me evenif I do read the Mail! I used to read 'Today' newspaper and really missed it when it went. I've tried many times to give up newspapers but Ican't so it is the lesser (to me anyway) of many evils Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 Oh Lesley - you old dafty! I'm sure if you knew half of my habits you'd never speak to me again ('Old' in the nicest possibly way you understand ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
