My Cheap Christmas Jumper Was Not A Success.

....but then again, it was.


I bought a medium/large one, thinking it would be nice and loose and roomy.

I tried it on before going to my dad's Christmas party, yesterday afternoon. It came down to my knees and the sleeves were made for an Orangutan!

I took it with me and it fitted Dad (fifteen stone). He loved it and everyone made a fuss of him in his lovely Christmas Jumper. He was a star.

Another fiver down the Swanee!

Nooooo a fiver well spent, Yilly. It fitted your dad and he loved it.

No, Hoppy. No sticky outy bits. Just a silly little snowman.

[Tilly2]

....the thing is it was supposed to be my jumper. Now, I don't have one. :-(

[melv16]

I'm sure you'll grow into it, tilly. Chortle....

[Tilly2]

I might ask him for it back after Christmas. It might fit then, Melv. Then again, when would I wear it?

[melv16]

Wear it when you see a waxwing:-)

[tonyav]

Give it a hot wash, it might shrink.

[Tilly2]

I'll give that a try, Yont. Fingers crossed.

(The snowman might melt!)

[Tilly2]

Waxwings are ten a penny when you've seen a Blue Footed thingy, Melv.

Dream on!

[murraymints]

you're not going to snatch it back are you Tilly ??? poor dad..he'll be chatting up all the wummin in his new finery too !

[tonyav]

Yeah, no repossession until the party season is over.

[Tilly2]

Minty, we are going to an hotel for Christmas Lunch. Dad asked, yesterday, if his jumper would go with his blazer, on Christmas Day.


Noooooooooooooooooooo!

[tonyav]

Of course it will, he could remove his blazer before being seated.

[Baldric]

It's true then?, you pay peanuts, you get monke... .. .

[murraymints]

let him Tilly..let him....if I still had dad he could turn up in a tutu and wellies..as long as he was there...

[Chipchopper]

!, Give your Dad a crate of London Pride.

2, Donate the jumper to a monkey sanctuary.

3, Book a trip on a paddle steamer up the Suwanee River for 2016.

Sorted!

Great idea, Chip.
