Earrings

I had my ears pierced in my twenties and wore earrings until a few years ago when I got bored with them.

Recently I have decided to start wearing them again (I had to force an earring through healed over skin on one ear).

I've noticed that a lot of women my age are still wearing danglers but I think these are now a bit dated. I find I am favouring austere studs.

I wonder what other Gransnetters think.

Actually, it could have been worse if you think about, penguin jumpers......

Yes, a bit like sheep leapers you mean? grin

I should have said, woolly jumpers.

I'm used to threads deviating but how on earth did we get from earrings to woolly jumpers? grin

Back to ear rings..... I was putting some on today and one of them fell from my lifeless [not literally] morning fingers, and ended up in the dusty nether world of under the dressing table.So, I went on all fours to squint under there and saw a pair of eyes looking back at me ! On closer inspection they turned out to be the ear ring I had just dropped and another I thought I had lost ages ago. They do look a bit 'eye' like even in daylight, with reflective stones in the centre.The funny thing is, I had looked there before [when I lost the first one] and it was NOT there. Spooky stuff.

I bought a new pair of red dangly ones the other week and have lost them already. Can you please come and find them for me? My choir had to have our photo yesterday (we wear red and black) and I had to wear teeny red ones instead. I need real Bet Lynch monstrosities for choir!

If you drop an earring or a 'butterfly', you can put a pop sock over the nozzle of the vacuum cleaner - keep a tight hold on it or it will get sucked up - and with luck it will capture the missing object and, if you're anything like me, quite a lot of other stuff, interesting or otherwise.

If I wear my hair up I wear danglies, but nothing too Bet Lynch or Pat Butcher you understand, otherwise studs. i have lots and I love them

jane I don't need to come to your house to find them, they are probably under the dressing table as we speak! Either yours or mine. Earrings don't mind, they will congregate anywhere, the more the merrier.
anno that's a good idea, but I'm scared at what may be sucked up, there's a 'lorra, lorra stuff' [as Cilla might say] under there I bet.grin
