Do you also have “large tounge scars”
Every now and then my beloved partner will come out with a comment/remark which if I answered truly would very much cause “trooble at mill”.
The last one occured not so long ago when I had to attend a function wearing jacket and tie. Something I have studiously avoided in the decade plus since retirement.
So out comes “the boss” with this one…. “Dont know why you are objecting, you have not”… WAIT FOR IT….
“dressed up” in years….
Guess it all comes down to the timing, definition and current context of the above phrase. Coming off 36 hours Caty time this past weekend and the many other instances of Caty time, there’s no way I could have responded truthfully to this remark.
Hence the “tounge scars” and jeez, they dont ‘arf hurt at times…..
Happy Dressing,
Caty

Hi Caty,
Read your post with delight. You sound to me that you are a Yorkshire lass. by gum!
My Ex used to come out with some beauties. ” You have better legs than I have “, and the like. What can you say to things like that?
My problem seems to be that I have a bad case of foot and mouth disease. Every time I open my mouth, I put my foot in it.
And aye, it does ‘arf hurt.Connie.

But I will own up to being ‘arf Pom, “me old Dad” was born in Blightly.
So you did (partly) “a’ve me bang to rights”.It’s also “dahn to me” that one of my very best “china’s” is a born and bred Yorkshireman, whose accent is still as broad the day he got off the plane.
Now given the above, (to the “younger TGR generation,- sans “LOL’s and “IMHO’s” and xxoo’s), is probably a completely foreign language, I’m “aving it away on me toes” before the the “old bill” nails me for “GBH of the lingo”.
Oh and Connie, “ave one for yourself” “dahn the Winchester” tonight.
Caty.

Thanks to Connie and everyone whom has read my posts on this subject.
YET THERE IS MORE!!!!
My beloved has been filling out a “government form” to obtain a certain concession. (Which one does not matter for the story!).
A requirement of the above is that I also have to prove my identity.
My tounge screamed for mercy when it got to the part where as she “ticked the relevant box”, she said, “no, you are not known by any other name are you”??!!!!
None that I’m in the remotest chance of owning up to you, dearest!!!

Chatting away with my beloved again yesterday and the subject got to “those” mail order catalouges that get around as inserts in various magazines. Yes, the ones that scream “useless products”, tho the bras look interesting.
We giggle away at the “bra hangers” but when she said “no one would buy a bra without trying it on first”, my tounge ducked for cover AGAIN!!!
Like many of us, I’ve bought many a bra without trying it on first. (“Birthday present for er indoors etc etc”). Tho I did have a fitting at Lisa Lacies in Seaford once, (all praise to them).
Ya gotta laugh, cos again, many of us in the past have had plenty of reasons to cry.
Happy Dressing
Caty
PS As for the “birthday present routine”, once I start getting specific about colours and styles I often wonder if the shop assistant “twigs”. No big deal one way or another, just saves some potential embarrasment on both sides. Especially if other females are in the shop at the time. Tho the old “ring ahead” trick works well..

Thankfully I no longer have to bite my tongue when it comes to some issues in conversation with my good lady. She did say once, though, that she now understands why some junk mail seemed to hang around longer than other items. I used to hang out for the latest BNT catalogue or the various women’s clothes sales brochures. I used them to get ideas on style and appearance.
Mind you, nowadays we both have to chomp on our tongues in some conversations with people who know not about Jane. Many a ‘look’ has passed between us at these times.

Ahhh ladies if only I had the wherewithal to have avoided being sprung in Glenda mode I too could have giggled quietly to myself about such everyday comments however having been through that now anytime I linger too long on the female sections of the catalogues such as Target, Big W or any others especially BNT, I am treated to a suspicious look.
Although while watching a movie the other night which was her indoors selection called Connie and Carla nary a comment was passed even though I waited for them to come she seemed to actually have more interest in the movie than my past activities (which are also current activities) sp perhaps soon I too can enjoy little internal Glenda giggles as you do
Take care Love as always

Like many shoppers both my wife and I have a Wollies ‘Everyday Rewards Card’. As a result I often get emails to my other email account, the one in my male name, from Woolies or BigW. The latest is rather funny given who it was sent to:
Hi (my male name),
Look good and feel great with this exclusive womenswear offer.
BIG W’s wide range has the ladies covered.The email then has a series of products illustrated and a list of product brand names like Bonds, Wonderbra, Emmerson and so on.
Sometimes automated emails can be a laugh. I must admit, though, I activated the offer – why miss out?
