? thought that would be a good idea. So if someone is annoying you and you wish to say so perhaps rather than ruining the conversation you could refer the person to whom you wish to have a go at to this thread and then you could argue to your hearts content, being a pain in the ass to everyone else.

This is going to be so popular I just know it is??????????

Well both - the toilet roll holder looks like a hat.
Did the Spring Faire live up to your expectations? We usually go to one in my daughters village - in fact DH has a stall, but it is only every 2 years as it is such hard work for the volunteers who all tend to be elderly as all the youngsters go out to work these days.

It's freezing down here in the South - north wind.

What, the frock or the toilet roll cover? confused

whitewave Mon 30-May-16 18:59:32

When would you wear it?

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 18:57:09

Perhaps with sparkles.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 18:56:45

I only want a frilly one. White with pink tinges.

NanKate Mon 30-May-16 18:56:09

Have not gave hmm

The caretaker where I worked in 1969 gave me a hand knitted loo roll holder when I got engaged. I wanted to puke, but I smiled and thanked her so much. If I can find it 47 years later Jing you can gave it, however the moths may have got their first.

I would really like the toilet roll holder dolly too.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 18:42:46

The more I look at it, the more I want it.

Bellanonna Mon 30-May-16 18:40:43

Camillas outfit, that is

Bellanonna Mon 30-May-16 18:39:36

I think it looks completely wrong

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 18:37:36

But I still think it's really pretty.

jinglbellsfrocks Mon 30-May-16 18:36:50

Hmm...

FarNorth Mon 30-May-16 18:00:30

Oh, come on, use a bit of imagination!

Ana Mon 30-May-16 17:52:38

Whatever they're made of, the point is that the skirt is huge to cover the toilet roll, like a meringue-style wedding dress - which is not what Camilla's ensemble looks like.

They don't have to be wool. My gran had one made of pink shiny material with lace flounces and a plastic lady's half body on the top. (Sound familiar?)

Nelliemoser Mon 30-May-16 17:37:00

It looks nothing like a toilet roll cover. It's not crocheted in garish stripes of cheap wool.

dramatictessa Mon 30-May-16 17:01:06

Oh, yes, very much the diva!

Elegran Sun 29-May-16 23:32:03

I forgot that you were so dramatic, Tessa. Are you Drama Queen Tessa?

dramatictessa Sun 29-May-16 21:11:31

And why not? Isn't this the place to be tetchy? Are you making a thing of it? Better put a smile in or you might think I mean it!

GandTea Sun 29-May-16 21:06:44

ooo tetchy

dramatictessa Sun 29-May-16 21:04:51

If you're going to argue with me elegran please use my whole name. You don't know me well enough to just use a little bit of it. Sheesh, modern manners, don't very me started (but maybe it's just the chocolate and formaldehyde fumes getting to me).

whitewave Sun 29-May-16 18:44:21

Ahh that makes more sense - still!!!!!!!!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 29-May-16 17:58:34

It was a Spanish wedding. A nod to flamenco rather nice I would say.

Ana Sun 29-May-16 17:25:07

Pantaloons!
