Re: Items to which I am allured
If you are buying it online make sure returns are free. I got a dress I liked after seeing someone wearing it on tv. The stitching was buggered at the zip on the hip and I decided I didn’t like it in the flesh. I had to pay to send it back signed for and was pissed off with a faulty item having to pay.

That is bloody annoying, Dic. I’ve talked myself out of it now, it’s a lovely dress but I’ve no need for it and have a mental blockage about wearing maxi length stuff a lot of the time.

I can't wear maxi dresses for some reason, but I really love a dowdy midi length.Pippedydeadeye wrote: ↑Fri Apr 07, 2023 8:35 am That is bloody annoying, Dic.

I have a new dowdy midi/midaxi to wear tomorrow night!
I’ve bought a handbag instead of the flowery dress. :)

Re: Items to which I am allured
I was very annoyed. It wasn't a cheap dress and it was poorly stitched and a big company so the no free return surprised me.
Your new bag is nicer than the dress anyway.

Re: Items to which I am allured
Which company Dics? I would expect a free return on a faulty item!
I agree that you'll get more use out of the bag.

Re: Items to which I am allured
I was going to say that I think they were bought by someone recently. I think free returns often go when a company is in trouble.

Ah! I didn't know. Well, I hate them all over again now. I momentarily paused my hatred and now it's back with a vengeance.

Not unless you’re attending a party as Miss Havisham.

No, I don’t think you need that, sorry.

Yes, I’m also going with “You don’t”. Strawberry crocs territory…
Or ask Ella might ask, “Whereabouts are you in your cycle?”

Ok, I’m now deciding between Sweaty Betty leggings instead.
