Hi all,
I am wearing the attached dress on Christmas day, with ankle boots, 100 denier black tights, a decorative belt and a shoulder bag. I hadn't thought about a jacket but I now wonder if I should have a jacket or wrap or something. What do you think?
Best wishes,
FH x

Where is it?

It’s about an hour from Glasgow, FH once said but “nobody has ever heard of it “ despite being big enough for 30 shops.

I find that hard to believe FH especially with Grans all over Scotland !
You may find your neighbours are members of GN for all you know!

The “Link” info is at the bottom of the page, as FlyingHxndbag said -

E.g.www.asos.com/women/dresses/party-dresses/cat/?cid=11057

Parsley3, I'm not saying. X
BlueSky, you're welcome. X

Thanks FH! Interesting how to do a link cheers! ?

Parsley3, I love my town as, although it's big enough for 30+ shops, big and small, it's small enough that you know everyone and can get the gossip from them. X

Marydoll, thanks. This is the formula Gransnet gives, using a Gransnet link as an example. X
[[ www.gransnet.com Gransnet ]]

NB: you don't do a space between the square brackets and the link or the text. I've done this to show you without it converting. X

Marydoll Fri 23-Oct-20 12:12:58

Or mine! grin

Brilliant thread FH You are certainly doing your bit to give us a laugh. I love the idea of you living in a little known village an hour’s drive from Glasgow because you could be my neighbour.

Mum watches the briefing then tells me. I usually watch these briefings. Very very funny (and also sweary). X

Maw and Bluebelle, to answer your question, if you click on the word in blue on FH's post, it takes you to a You Tube video. That's a hyperlink, embedded in text. Not everyone knows how to do that!

I do think it quite shameful FH, relying on your Mother to keep you abreast of current affairs. My 11yr old GD follows events herself and is very clear on all guidelines.
It is far too important for you to personally ignore the guidelines for your area. No excuse.

Well, I’m still clutching my pearls after googling the pretty little things site! I’m off to have a lie down ?‍♀️

Now Ive stopped laughing I'll go and get a shower and start my day
Thanks all
I know it's late but been on GN

BlueBelle Fri 23-Oct-20 11:47:18

Glad you said that mawB I didn’t like to ask

Marydoll Fri 23-Oct-20 11:44:36

It means that FH, really knows her way around a PC, Respect!

*FH*, praise where praise is due.
You are very IT literate, managing to embed hyperlinks in text. ?

Marydoll - I don’t even know what that means! ???

Thanks for the giggle. Needed that after trawling through the menopause thread.

DiscoGran Fri 23-Oct-20 11:24:58

I quite like the dress, I have a nice red bolero in slightly fluffy knit that would look just right with it.

I can't stand thigh high boots... they make me look like a lady of the night. X

Never mind the boots , I think the dress , or should I say top , would make you look like a lady of the night .

In fact, if you look into the dark sky at Christmas you can see his sleigh going across.

Wow Calli! Merry Christmas! ???smile

I’m sure the alpaca farm is sticking to the rules, so it’ll be shut. The ‘dress’ looks cheap.
But, reading this thread has kept me entertained for ages, who needs soaps!

I had a pair of fur lined leggings last winter. Daughter knocked them.

Didn’t they tickle?

Now this is what I shall be wearing on Christmas Day- or one similar- its a 'slanket'. A blanket with sleeves grin...think you'd be very comfy in this FH...perhaps not as glamorous though!
