Hello Everyone smile
Just wanted to get this in first wink

Fancy some verbal jousting; a bit of rumble; a good old punch up?

Well, you're in the right place! Enjoy!

Any ideas for potential topics please?

A little know Gaul fact is that, as in modern times, a sock would loose its partner but not in the wash. Some Gauls weren't totally naked when they went into battle. The nesh ones would wear one of their socks in a different place wink

I've found some fancy socks for our BIG feet Peasblossom? Thanks for the SIGUR search Whitewavemark2 Warm socks sorted.

Now who's up for an unassuming pop sock.

Aww. It’s nice to know I haven’t been forgotten.

Stock Sock Exchange is now open. Record number of odd socks are coming in. Get in early to buy find yours

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 11:26:47

I have a really holey pair for the knitters among you to darn. I was going to wash them first but I think the aroma of users’ past adds a certain je ne sais quoi.
No where’s all that salt...................

I’ve found a new type of cushion ? stuffed no less!

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 16:05:10

That’s just what I need for my sofa. I knew it was lacking that little something............

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:17:45

But would you prefer another choice of stuffing grandmajet? ?

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:18:49

Just make sure peasblossom and muse don’t put their big feet on them ?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 16:22:53

Ooh, you are awful!

I don’t know - this thread shuffles from one riveting topic to another. When is someone going to slag off M&S, the in-laws or the Daily Mail, or similar which regularly and thrillingly raise the blood pressure of bored gransnetters?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 16:35:55

Ok. M and S are rubbish now, their sizes are so unreliable. Or maybe my size keeps changing. They should buy British!

Aveline Fri 19-Feb-21 16:50:39

How dare anyone slag off M&S! I get all my clothes there and am very happy with them. Fine big pants in ethically sourced cotton - yards of it!

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:52:40

grandmajet I would have thought S&M was more up your street than M&S ?

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 16:53:49

Don’t get your knickers in a twist Aveline ?

RulaNula Fri 19-Feb-21 16:54:50

I want an argument. What are we arguing about?

Aveline Fri 19-Feb-21 16:55:25

Doodle- I'd be at risk of strangling myself!

Casdon Fri 19-Feb-21 17:06:06

Well, again I’m dumbfounded - what about the cushion socks?we need to keep our feet on the ground and on the cushions surely?

grandmajet Fri 19-Feb-21 17:13:21

Rubbish, useless, out of date M and S, RulaNula

Mollygo Fri 19-Feb-21 18:48:44

My socks are really cosy, no pussy-footing around!

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 18:52:13

Aveline are you sure you’re wearing your big girl pants on the right part of your body ?

Happyme Fri 19-Feb-21 19:12:22

Hands off M&S, heroes of the high street, selling cushions, socks AND salt.
Where else would you find all life's essentials in one place?
Is there a demand for an S&M department do you think ?

Doodle Fri 19-Feb-21 19:19:37

We could have a whip round for them Happyme ?

Aveline Fri 19-Feb-21 19:59:03

Doodle they're so capacious if I pull them up a bit they do for a mask if I forget to put one in my bag.
I like to feel really, really secure. M&S understand that.
