Earrings

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.

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

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.

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!

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

I should have said, woolly jumpers.

Yes, a bit like sheep leapers you mean?

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

Oh! Jumpers FOR penguins. How cute!

Penguin jumpers? I take that as an insult against gransnetters' dress sense!

I'm not really stressed, just cross at the constant attempts to infiltrate the site, especially the way it's being done.

roses have a look at a couple of other threads , gel nails, beads & penguin jumpers and I think you will see what I mean!

phoenix ?What on earth did Gufhffa say?Don't answer that!

Phoenix. Relax have a zen moment. You seem stressed

My father thought the same. My sisters and I were all in our mid 20s when we finally did the deed, all together. We all said at the time that because of our father's brainwashing, we all felt as if we had lost our virginity all over again! You know - that slight guilt despite the pleasure. It was a revelation to no longer have pinched earlobes.

My mother thought it was 'very common' to hve ears pierced! I finally had them pierced when my best friend in Leicester said she would pay for it for my 35th BD- we went to an old fashioned jeweller on Church Gate together, and I said 'this woman wants my ears piercing' - he laughed and did the deed. I always were earrings, but very rarely dangly ones. I like quite chunky but simple silver ones- sometimes gold for special occasions.

I feel undressed without earrings. I do like like dangly ones, but not too dangly they get caught up! I wear studs for Pilates though and also if I'm wearing a chunky necklace - another of my 'likes'

I have a pair of reversible earrings for pierced ears,they were purchased in Turkey.They are white gold on one side and yellow gold on the other.You put them in front to back for one colour and back to front for the other.The two sides then clip together forming a band round the ear.I find them so useful.I wear glasses and don't suit long dangly earrings.

I had my ears pierced once and the resulting allergic mess does not bear reconsidering. I left them to heal over.

I once met a lady who must have had a similar problem, as her ears looked as though a mouse had been nibbling on them!

And I am always a bit nervous when women wear big hoops, imagining them getting caught on something - ouch!

I am just a complete killjoy - but I think they look lovely on others and am very envious!

Had a sudden vision of Dame Edna Everage then, Margaret!

I have always loved earrings and like petallus I feel that danglers don't look right with an old face. I do have single pearshaped pearl drop earrings which hang just under the earlobe and I wear them a lot.

I suffer from having had a mother who was very elegant and who said that plain elegant clothing and jewellery made the face look prettier by contrast and I have found this to be true. As I am like her in looks it works.

My favourites at the moment are plain gold or silver. just a simple ring through the ear, but not those decorated with diamond chips.

Danglers can look good on the right person but in my opinion not when worn with glasses.
