Cheap socks

[danc1ngwitch]

Anyone else having this problem with the cheaper socks. They get holes in them after just a few times of wearing them, so then they get thrown out and really I ain't saving no money at all.:roll:

[connieb19]

I notice it even with the dearer socks. :roll: I was hoping to get nail clippers for my Christmas so I could trim them down. Oh well, I'll likely end up having to bite them again soon. :eek:

[footie chick]

Oh well, I'll likely end up having to bite them again soon. :eek:

EEkk I doubt I could get my toes to reach lol [lol]

[sam]

at least you will have something to chew on lol when the finger nails are all bitten down ;) :lol:

[connieb19]

They seem to grow quicker than the finger nails too, or maybe it's because I dont bite them so often. :confused: [para]

lol i hope before you bite your toe nails, you give them a good scrape underneath or maybe it adds to the taste:eek:

Now when I was young (says she settllng in to her rocking chair) we would never have dreamt of throwing away socks, or stockings, just because of a hole a or two. We darned them !!! Over and over again if necessary until there was more darn than sock. Don't suppose anyone even knows how to darn these days but it was actually quite satisfying making a good neat job of it. What simple pleasures the young will never know :roll:

[Alice in Blunderland]

My mum still knits her own socks :eek: Bright god awful colours in nasty scratchy wool and any other left over bits of wool that she has lying around....definately not the kind of socks you want for a chrissie present but she says they are warmer and much better than what you can buy in the shops.......Anyone want to place an order Im sure she will knit you some :lol:

well i do it the easy way,i buy 2-3 packs of 5 from matalan,of the same socks, colour and make,so then whenever one start's to get a bit holey, i just throw it away and put a new one on :D

My mother taught us to darn socks using a lightbulb if the darning egg wasn't around. It was soothing work but I recall getting blisters from the darned spot. Maybe I wasn't very skilled, darn it!

Takes me back to doing my Darning Badge (?) in the Brownies! My darning wasn't too good to put it mildly - time was running short so my mum did the darning for me -imagine how she felt when her effort was rejected by Brown Owl! :eek:

[connieb19]

i forgot to say this comes in handy when they start to get a bit smelly to :lol:
I used to do that problem too until I found that if I changed them both at the same time they both got smelly at the same time. You should try it, it does work. :eek:

Trouble is, don't you find they all end up slightly different colours?
I just buy loads of basic black socks but sooner or later they seem to be different shades of bluey/black, greeny/black, greyish/black...I wonder why...:confused

ach well lol, you see i'm no that fussy, belong's they look roughly the same colour from a wee distance i am happy:D

[Angela]

ach well lol, you see i'm no that fussy, belong's they look roughly the same colour from a wee distance i am happy:D

Well no, nobody really sees mine anyway under trousers & boots so I just keep on wearing them...but why do they do it ? :roll:

[connieb19]

Well no, nobody really sees mine anyway under trousers & boots so I just keep on wearing them...but why do they do it ? :roll:
Have you noticed they go different sizes too? Not only are you tying to roughly match up balliness and colour but you have to compare the size of them too. :confused

[Angela]

Have you noticed they go different sizes too? Not only are you tying to roughly match up balliness and colour but you have to compare the size of them too. :confused

They do -you end up with one half way up your leg and the other one barely at your ankle! Some seem to shrink and others -from exactly the same pack -seem to s-t-r-e-t-c-h...why do they behave like this? :confused

[sweetpea]

I'm all for biting my toenails too! I very rarely wear socks even with boots but when I do I wear those little trainer socks. My trouble is getting all the various shades of black to match and there always seems to be odd ones after I've done the washing??

[Alice in Blunderland]

And of course there is always the saga of the lost sock .How come you can put a pair in the wash and out comes one the other one never to be seen again. :confused

[sam]

never mind cheap socks there's nothing worse than cheap knickers, think about it wearing a skirt, stockings, suspenders...... the elastic in yer knickers snap & hay presto knickers at ankles and red faces and laughter all around:lol:
i know someone this happened to :lol:

[Alice in Blunderland]

OMG you lot have just reminded me about an incident with a thong pms to alice for the whole story it will have you in kinks. As you can guess though it involves a night out, alcohol , a clumsy alice .........and a draughty end to the evening :eek:

lol you canna leave it at that,please do tell:Razz

[Alice in Blunderland]

Okay, Okay hope this gives you a giggle.

At a realy, realy posh do with hubby...free champagne and wine all night so Alice makes a pig of herself as you do. As the saying goes what goes in must come out..... after finding the ladies and spending a penny Alice goes to pull up her brand new realy expensive thong with nice beads and glass. Not as easy as pulling up a pair of knickers when your drunk is it girls? Anyway the whole thing goes into a curl and a drunk Alice thinks, okay so all I have to do is pull hard at each end and it will unravel......w-r-o-n-g pull hard and the whole thing falls apart and the beads go rolling out the toilet door.....[lol] The only thing poor Alice can do is stuff the remains of the brand new expensive thong in the bucket pull down the frock and head back into the realy, realy posh do. I forgot to mention the dress was of such a cut that I couldnt wear a bra.....good job I never got knocked down and rushed to hospital as that would have been a hard one to explain.......

Spent the whole night winking across the table at my husband and when we got into the taxi I announced to him and of course the taxi driver that I had no knickers on...... needless to say when we went back this year I stuck to fresh orange, Knickers and trousers.;)

There thats my confession and of course my name has been changed to protect my identity.....aye right.

[sam]

could of been worse lol, you could of been wearing a see through dress aswell :lol: :lol:

[connieb19]

Does anyone remember those body suit things that used to have poppers between the legs? I was coming down the Cliff one busy afternoon wearing one of those with a skirt on, next I hear a pop and felt a right draught, I was mortified but there was nothing I could do about it till i got home. Come to think of it, I think that was the last time I wore a skirt. That was almost as embarrasing as my knickers stuck to the velcro on the hood of my jacket after taking it out of the tumble dryer, I was down the steet all day and never noticed till after I got home. :eek:

[Alice in Blunderland]

Good grief Connie its a shame no-one tapped you on the shoulder and let you know....mind you they were probably too busy laughing.....

Another one how many girls on a night out did you see with the popper bit hanging out of the back of their trousers after going to the ladies.....:lol: :eek:
