What do you think I would do?

This is intended to be a light hearted ‘dilemma’ based on a Radio 2 Saturday morning feature, ‘What would Sally do?’

I realise it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but I often listen in while doing housework.

So….following the same format, what do you think I would do faced with the following dilemma…

“I’m getting ready to meet a friend for a walk along the seafront and ironing a favourite top when I notice the top button is very loose and if it’s undone reveals far too much (wrinkly) cleavage for my liking. I’m running short of time so do I…

a) Grab the loose thread and wind it round where the button is sewn on hoping it will hold?

b) Message my friend telling her I’ll be a bit late while I search for the sewing box?

c) Pull the button off so as not to lose it and think, To hell with the unflattering décolletage?”

What do you think I would do and what would you do?

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

😬I would do neither, just put another top on. If that was the only top I had I would pull the button off.

A and search, probably unsuccessfully, for a safety pin.

I’d definitely pick another top to wear.

Me too, Siope...! I might put a brooch - (have double checked spelling and it seems the 'e ' at the end has been dropped since 1955) - over the offending aperture...but if it needs ironing, I wouldn't have it in the first place. Washing - mostly 100% cotton or wool goes out to breeze dry then carefully folded or put on hangers to air or till needed.....

Ah! Thank you for reminding me I must buy another top to go with the trousers I wanted to wear because I only have two in the right colour and the other one was in the wash!

I should have thought of a brooch. Vintage is very ‘in’ even if the family heirloom looks like a squashed turtle!

Too hot for a camisole.☀️☀️

Trouble is those little gold safety pins are very very rare these days…..I know because I needed one to hold my glasses together!

Probably tie a really nice scarf doubled up down my front.

This reminded me of another thread:

^*You’re never going out looking like that?^*

I'd sew it back on and be late

ironing? What is this ironing thing?

I'd do a) wrap the thread around

but maybe my un-ironed top would be as wrinkly as my skin so no one would notice anyway.

Ok.... considering i can never be late for anything and anyone, i would choose a) wrap the loose thread around button and show up on time as arranged.... 😃

Another "not get past the ironing" bit.
