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?

Good grief, FannyCornforth, you can’t be serious. If you are, I propose Influencers are a vital part of social media platforms now, without which they would not attract an audience and therefore advertisers. Such a valuable job, starting comments off and allowing - or not - people to have their say.

Eh?
Honestly *Lisa", you don't half give me too much credit!

I'm sorry Fanny, not all of us want to talk about cushions. How can you make that decision? Anyway, that's enough. I'm off for a cup of tea. angry

smile

FannyCornforth Wed 17-Feb-21 13:27:37

See, I can't even embolden properly!

suziewoozie Wed 17-Feb-21 13:28:38

OK - here goes
Do you like cushions with mottos on them like ‘Home is where the heart is’ or ‘Worlds best mum’

Galaxy Wed 17-Feb-21 13:29:44

Dear God no.

trisher Wed 17-Feb-21 13:32:49

I think we have to define exactly what a cushion is before we get into that. Are we counting floor cushions? Ones on beds? Or are we limiting it to things on seats. Is a bean bag a cushion?

FannyCornforth Wed 17-Feb-21 13:32:53

World's best Mum Suzie hmm

Ilovecheese Wed 17-Feb-21 13:33:56

Should cushions be placed horizontally or diagonally?

trisher Wed 17-Feb-21 13:34:30

What about those silly little things that have lavender or something in them AND most importantly do we include pin cushions?

Ilovecheese Wed 17-Feb-21 13:34:37

Is it acceptable nowadays to have a pile of cushions on the bed?

Peasblossom Wed 17-Feb-21 13:35:22

I think the sale of cushions should be banned from henceforth as they are a major source of waste. Both in their creation and their disposal.

I’m taking the one step at a time approach

Peasblossom Wed 17-Feb-21 13:36:49

How can you worry about trivialities such as diagonal or where to put cushions when there are much bigger issues at stake.

trisher Wed 17-Feb-21 13:37:01

I've always wondered how you distinguished between cushions and pillows on a bed. Is it the size or the shape?

I'm sorry what about all the redundant cushion makers? We may have to have a strike!

Peasblossom Wed 17-Feb-21 13:39:05

Pin cushions are excluded because they serve a useful purpose.

GagaJo Wed 17-Feb-21 13:39:13

Ooooo, politics, GN rules, education, teachers being in school and not in lockdown, leggings (an old one on here).

NellG Wed 17-Feb-21 13:40:04

Those people who karate chop their cushions...

trisher Wed 17-Feb-21 13:40:38

I'm havng one made that says SOCM- Save Our Cushion Makers.

GrannyGravy13 Wed 17-Feb-21 13:41:44

I shall confess........I am probably cushion obsessed they are on every bed, sofa and chair in the house. Round ones, square ones and long ones, big ones and small ones. Unfortunately MrGG13 is not a fan!

Ilovecheese Wed 17-Feb-21 13:41:44

When was the last time you extracted the hidden needles from your pin cushion and how many were there?

DiscoGran Wed 17-Feb-21 13:42:30

Well, cushions are square and pillows are oblong. Except if you are in the US when sometimes it's the other way around. Oh, but what about floor cushions?

trisher Wed 17-Feb-21 13:42:54

This is undoubtedly cushionist. No discrimination. All cushions matter!

LauraNorder Wed 17-Feb-21 13:45:37

If we’re going to have the inevitable pile on then large soft cushions all over the floor will be idea, preferably without ‘world’s greatest Mum’.

LauraNorder Wed 17-Feb-21 13:45:56

Ideal not idea

Ellianne Wed 17-Feb-21 13:45:59

Cushions have to match the dog, colour coordination is very important.
