Just been to Matalan as the better half needs a new (summer) dress for a dinner invite from a director of the firm i work for.
After trawling around and trying on millions of dresses,she couldn't find one
Then she came up with this gem "None of them will fit me as i'm too fat for cheap clothes,I'll have to go to Manchester tomorrow"

What gem has your wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/partner come up with to convince you of the need to buy expensive :doh:

Tom :crazy:

Matalan, Peacocks, Dotty P - wow would make a great impression on the boss man but more on the female employees who will know the cost of what everyone is wearing to within €5.00:whistle: Men not got a clue. :wall:

Apparently starred (******) out swear words are not acceptable in a title, so its a fair cop by KirstyJay to change it.
Although i thought my original was much better :eyebrows:

Whoever changed the title obviously thought they have a better command of the English language than those of us who thought the original was more succinct! :whistle:
