GG, you were supposed to organise a storage tin before you made the cake. No wonder Marilyn didn't pick you to be coordinator.

I have to confess to owning a thong ! LOL

But I only bought it because I wore a very light white pair of silk trousers for a wedding , I had to go and take them OFF halfway during the evening ,just as well everyone had a drink by then and did not or could not see any difference !!

NEVER again....but I still have them ..LOL

Shelly, how anyone can say they are comfortable are lying...!

Mo, remember ST's we used to wear well that's what it felt like ..
Same difference....but we got used to them didn't we ? LOL

Wonder if anyone remembers them ???

Better keep that quiet...LOL

marilyn wat are st knicker come on spill the beans

I bought thongs when they first came out, they were so painful I thought I had piles.

Mo,



She used to get the machine out and sew all night as there were 3 of us that needed them .

Oh where have you all gone ?

Have I frightened you all away with the hammocks ...LOL

LOL Mo.

Didn't we suffer on those. !!

Mo

I have done a some cancellations.....! yes too much info ...

I'll be back Mo I'm just looking up something on Ancestry .

The Cami Knickers I am talking about were usually made of silk and were short and the knicker part was open all you had was a couple of cloth studs button holed ones as well so the wind blew up your skirt and was it cold no wonder we were all getting colds.they just cover you bottom.
When someone managed to get hold of a parachute we all went mad making them ourselves. you could get French knickers the same but they didnt have elastic in the waist they had a button holding them up . many times I have seen girls and women lose them and they stepped out of them and shoved them into their pockets..

The other I think you are talking about was the long bloomers with elasticated legs they got sore after awhile but kept you warm during a cold winter.

Rita

The other things you spoke of was made with old cloth and were soaked over night materials were hard to get during the war..

Hi Mo Rita and Marilyn
I grew up in the 60's and remember the awful things we had, as that was all that was available. Not at all reliable and very uncomfortable. Young ladies now do not know how "lucky" they are.
Likewise the nappies. Only terry towelling for my babies born 79, 81 and 85. Used disposables on holidays but so leaky you ended up having to change their clothes too.
Glad I am beyond all that and the babies come with supplies of nappies(that work), nappy sacks and baby wipes !!! Not keen on what happens once they go in the rubbish but thats another problem. Also the babies don't often get a sore bottom either.

Have been finding many BMD's on ancestry and storing them to print off later.

Had my hair cut today so feeeling a lot better overall.

Tomorrow is babycare all day and a meeting in the evening.

Catch up later

Linda :o) XxX

ok ok iv got it you only had to say actshiom mans hamock that what us kids use to call them lol

pluss i remember whan i was sent to the shop with a note from my mum to get some.

Now I remember buying a sheets of softened material to put inside of the nappies to help soften the baby bottom, what were they called ?

can you remember we only had a dozen nappies that was the amount that was needed ...LOL

Dont know why we never had any . more .....!

i use both had terry nappy with the first 3 children and dispoable with the 3 younger one

must say i do like disposerble nappis quicker and cleaner
