What do you think I would do?

Wear it back to front!

My grandson is 8 and is having friends round the house going bowling. Should I be upset for not being invited to attend. My daughter's son.

Dab of clear nail polish on the offending button to encourage it to hang on til time for repair.

I'd bung a plain vest top underneath and remove the button. Get out the door and enjoy the time with my friend.

You are in bed in the day with a cold/flu/hangover etc and someone knocks at the door. You dont have a ring type doorbell. Do you:-

#1 ignore it
#2 go to a window or similar to see who it is and then decide
#3 get out of bed and struggle to the door

I would ignore it. If its important they will leave a note or try again sometime.

You could ignore it. If they don’t know you they’ll go away but if they do they might panic and call the police.

If you can see them from a window and don’t want to let them in just open the door a crack and tell them you’ve got Covid!

🤔

It would be nice to spread it out over another week.

Do they know each other? Can you kill two birds with one stone (not literally!) 😁

Haha I think I get it now so it IS a game but not in the game section
I would have quickly sewn on the button and probably swore a lot ( to myself) with each stitch
Ok here we go with a dilemma
Two friends have asked me for a coffee the same day it’s the only day in the week free sobdo I see one in the morning and one in the afternoon or see one this week and the other the following week ?

Apologies! I didn’t “turn the page”

ironing? What is this ironing thing?

Or indeed, what is this sewing thing? There MUST be another top somewhere surely?

It's Christmas Day, you're expecting a houseful of visitors, the turkey's in the oven but you realise the oven has stopped working partway through cooking

Do you:

A Phone and ask if you can all gather at one of their houses instead?

B Finish it outside on the BBQ although there's 6" of snow on the ground

C Throw it in the bin and tell everyone it's cheese and biscuits and trifle for a change for Christmas lunch?

A. seems like the best option. Pack everything in the boot of the car and continue the cookathon in somebody else’s kitchen!

However…..this actually happened to us many years ago and as FiL had type 1 diabetes Christmas dinner had to be timed to fit in with the time he’d had his insulin injection.

DH cut the turkey into manageable portions and finished it on the barbecue.! The gas hob took care of the veg but we did miss our roasties. 😩

I'd pull the button off and safety pin the blouse closed from th wrong side,

Or failing a safety pin in a suitable (small) size, I would pin the blouse closed with a brooch.

For the hair query I would just leave it to dry.

I dont own a hair dryer abd mine is always left to simply dry naturally and brushed out as it dries. I should add that I have very long hair (waist length) and wear it up in a chignon so it can always be made to look presentable.

For the Christmas one I would probably dump the turkey and order a delivery of something completely different!

My ‘what would you do’ happened on Tuesday. I was drying and styling my hair ready to meet friends out for lunch. Hairdryer stopped working.
I have thick hair that needs to be blow dried.

A. Just leave it to dry?
B. Rush out to buy another ? (Not much time though)
C. Ask DIL. to bring hers round. (Early in the day)
D. Ask a neighbour (not very close)

A Just leave it to dry - even though my friends might go 😲

Provisos: It depends how far away DIL lives, how busy she is
And I have a hot brush (essential on my hair!).

If this was serious I'd leave it to dry.
- I don't have a hairdryer though - so no problems for me in real life.

Do add a ‘dilemma’ of your own for us to solve. 🤔😋

Must read the OP properly before answering!

If this is all there is to worry about then you re one lucky lady

You lost me at iron too

NotSpag is right. It’s intended to be a jolly diversion, inspired by my brief encounter with the iron and a loose button.

Oh, I knew it was a jolly diversion but I didn't think of another one.
Sorry! 😁

Gingster, Your first thought might be to let it dry and rock your New Look with confidence. There is definitely no time to buy another hairdryer.

Steer clear of the neighbour. She might take fright at the sight of your wild look and phone the police!

So the answer is C. Ask your DIL if you can borrow hers and try not to break it! 😂

Wouldn't happen to me as I'm boringly organised in advance. However, in given scenario, I would call to apologise for slight tardiness and do the repair.

We were supposed to think up a new dilemma - answer the question and move on. I can't think of one, though.

As to the button on blouse, I can't put myself in that situation either. Would have prepared my clothes earlier and, either way, would sew on button. It doesn't take more than a couple of minutes.

I had no idea that this was a serious question! Thought it was just a jolly diversion!
