why dont you have a long lie in saturday morning then come up in the afternoon 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

​

no, no, no, no, its not that easy :wacko:

Saturday morning is for going down town, just for an hour, see if I can find something to wear

I then come home several hours later, tired, grumpy, with nothing new to wear :angry:

I then go to bed for ages, can't sleep for ages, manage half an hour, get up grumpy, have tea and toast, have shower, then spend last 20 minutes before I go out running around in my undies :x trying on loads of outfits while Wayne and boys sit there looking at the TV saying, 'yeah, that looks nice' to everything I put on :rant:

I then put on what I thought I'd wear in the first place, drink several large whiskies in quick sucession, and rush out the door looking like :- "

You need to buy at least 10 suits/jackets etc all suitable for a dog show. Then anything else is soooooooo not important, you just wear a suit ( remove dog hairs). :lol:

thats so funny, I don't wear suits!! at our first show last month Jax asked if I wanted to borrow her jacket, but I don't 'do' jackets :b

and I certainly don't wear suits to go out! I wear jeans, boots, and some thing demure and tasteful on top :- " plus dog hairs :lol:

yes, it will tell the story of Alison never wearing a suit, especially not to a dog show :lol:

although I did wear a jacket to my recent interview :- " but that doesn't count :wacko:

 

[quintessence]

This is just for you Alison, so don't tell anyone else, but at the show I went to on Saturday my trousers were stapled up. I was ironing them prior to setting of and I caught the thread and the whole of the hem came down, I didn't have time to sew them up so I just stapled them.

I'm not a suit person either, my legs are too short and my arms are too long and the bit in the middle is too wayward.

Looking forward to Southern Counties (w00t)

thank you for sharing your secret with me, promise I won't tell

the moral of the story is, don't ever do ironing (w00t) I only do it for weddings and funerals, interviews if I must, everything else goes back in the wardrobe until its learned to behave :angry:

but thanks for making me laugh, you do it every time :lol:

 

[Juley]

When I went to Southern Counties ( not the time I went to the wrong Crawley), I split my brand new trousers (w00t) . The very nice secretary helped "sew me up" and didn't mention my name when they put it in the paper. :b

Edited to say that wunder web is wonderful for drooping hems. :lol:

Is ironing the only reason you won't wear suits for shows? Well then do what I do - buy/make drip dry suits/suit jackets. I very rarely iron my suit jackets (most of which are made by my mum) Polyester blend materials. I always hang them up in the car after they've been worn until I get home - never scrunch them up in the dirty clothes bag - Hand wash, drip dry on a padded hanger.

So there's no excuse Alison - [SIZE=14pt]SUIT UP LUV![/SIZE]
