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

You must be one of the very few people in Scotland FH , who doesn't know who he is. sad
How on earth do you keep up with the regulations?

Jason Leitch stands side by side with Nicola Sturgeon most days, at the daily briefing, giving us advice on what we should or not be doing with regard to Covid.
He is most impressive. I do like a man with a brain.

I don't think you are allowed in a car with someone outside your immediate household, especially for a leisure trip, so that's hit that nail on the head!
Hopefully it will change.

I'd be wearing a hairnet with a dress that short don't know about a fur thong shock

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

This thread is great I so needed a good laugh this morning!

Agree Yiayia that’s why FH’s threads are so popular! ?

Calendargirl I'm only repeating what people tell me. X

BlueSky Fri 23-Oct-20 10:21:01

I’m so sorry Calli! But don’t worry FC exists for those who believe in him! ?????

Notinthemanual Fri 23-Oct-20 10:19:24

Bluebell thanks for the warning, but now I can't get the theme from the twilight zone out of my head.

Calendargirl Fri 23-Oct-20 10:11:30

I’m in my 50’s, with a very good figure, and look much younger

You forgot ‘modest’, FH.

MawB2, I don't think it's the one at Fenwick. X

Hetty58, a photo of what? X

Hetty58 Fri 23-Oct-20 10:07:16

Where's that photo then? I'll believe it when I see it!

You can tell FH is younger than us, we have stopped dreaming. We no longer believe in FC ??

shock
I'm in tears, you've just ruined Christmas for me
Does that mean no presents?
???

MawB2 Fri 23-Oct-20 10:05:43

However, didn’t mean to distract from your thread FH , so revenons à nos moutons as they say (back to the subject) smile
You will love the alpaca farm if it is the one I am thinking of. I wonder if Marleen is still there?
If it is the one at Fenwick I haven’t been there but I am sure it is every it as good.

FlyingHxndbag Fri 23-Oct-20 10:03:11

MawB2, I understand now. X

FlyingHxndbag Fri 23-Oct-20 10:02:33

MawB2, he will just pick me up in the car and drive me there and we will walk around the farm. X

Callistemon, I also don't like thigh high boots as they feel like I'm wearing very odd lingerie. X

NanaandGrampy I'm in my 50s, with a very good figure, look much younger and I'm not ready for teacher dresses as I call them. X

*MawB2*, your reply came in as I was composing mine. I don't understand what a National Clinical Advisor is. X

I googled him and it was quite complicated, but this sums up his role
The National Clinical Director is responsible for quality in the health and social care system, including patient safety and person-centred care, NHS planning, and implementing quality improvement methods across the government and the broader public sector

So basically he seems to be the person Nicola Surgeon consults on national health issues before making her decisions. .

If FH was standing in front of me I'd say
"That's not a dress, it's a belt".

Hetty58

Marydoll, problem solved - a digital Christmas, chatting on Zoom, only needs a top!

Oh that made me laugh Hetty . Wearing that as a top would make way more sense !

Fur coat and no knickers as my Gran used to say ?

*LauraNorder*, I don't wear thongs, you seem to have me confused with a lady of the night. X

Nanaandgrampy, what's inappropriate about it? Because it's not a floral midi dress? X

BlueSky, awww thanks... I'm sure your beautiful as you are. X

No FH because it’s far too short unless you’re in your 20’s and gorgeous! Are you in your 20’s ?

There’s a very happy middle ground between looking like mutton dressed as lamb and wearing a floral midi ress.

Callistemon Fri 23-Oct-20 09:56:58

I can't stand thigh high boots... they make me look like a lady of the night
I'd have another think about the dress, then, FH if you want to look demure.

Some thigh high boots are very expensive, not cheap and nasty at all. I saw some for nearly £500.
But I am a tad too old for them now.

*MawB2*, I don't understand why as the alpacas aren't in his house? X
Notinthemanual, thanks for your lovely message. It's always nice when people are supportive. X

I realise that FH but I thought he was coming to visit you and take you to the alpaca farm. Apologies if I misunderstood that.

MawB2, your reply came in as I was composing mine. I don't understand what a National Clinical Advisor is. X

FlyingHxndbag Fri 23-Oct-20 09:52:58

annsixty, I'm not sure if he is a government advisor, as far as I can tell he is a doctor who is voicing his predictions. X

*Marydoll*, I have no idea who Jason Leitch is, and don't want to. X
Ohmother, how vulgar! I have never used a tampon in my life! X

Professor Jason Leitch is Scotland’s National Clinical Director, so your sort of equivalent of Sir Patrick Vallance or Professor Chris Whitty I suppose.
I understood socialising between households was forbidden in the Central Belt which would cover the area around Glasgow?
