Nevermind, when I grow up, I shall know exactly what I want to do with my life!

Well, Cendrillon, if purple is considered good enough for bishops and royalty, I don't see an objection to wearing it.

Do you think purple satin would look good in a sheath dress and you could put some appliqued patches in different bright colours down one side of the dress?

I saw this on the TV yesturday. I must have miss heard as I thought the salary was £70,000 per year, not per MONTH! [blink]

Not bad eh!

I was thinking of this! and no, I don't do appliqué

Warning - When I Am

an Old Woman I Shall Wear Purple

By Jenny Joseph

 

When I am an old woman, I shall

wear purple

with a red hat that doesn't go,

and doesn't suit me.

And I shall spend my pension on

brandy and summer gloves

and satin candles, and say we've

no money for butter.

I shall sit down on the pavement

when I am tired

and gobble up samples in shops

and press alarm bells

and run my stick along the public

railings

and make up for the sobriety of

my youth.

I shall go out in my slippers in

the rain

and pick the flowers in other

people's gardens

and learn to spit.

 

You can wear terrible shirts and

grow more fat

and eat three pounds of sausages

at a go

or only bread and pickles for a

week

and hoard pens and pencils and

beer nuts and things in boxes.

 

But now we must have clothes that

keep us dry

and pay our rent and not swear in

the street

and set a good example for the

children.

We must have friends to dinner

and read the papers.

But maybe I ought to practice a

little now?

So people who know me are not too

shocked and surprised

When suddenly I am old,

and start to wear purple.

Love it and will try and remember what I shall be able to do![:D][:P]

I have applied and if successful shall be looking for a few assistants from LF to do all the stuff that looks a little tedious, collecting post and sitting at the computer I could cope with.  So 6 assistants at 10,000 a month will leave me a nice little wage for doing nothing more than I do here.  I have an idea who I would like to take with me.  Male forum users need not apply.

Weedon, has your mail box, like the website, also crashed through unprecedented volumes of mail?

If I told you how many offers I've had you wouldn't believe me, so I shall just say that all are being considered except for the one from "Big Boy" who, quite frankly, shocked me.[:$]
