Today’s Smile

The car radio is exactly what I do. 😆

[Oma]

Yep, if it wasn’t for B my cooker would never get changed I wouldn’t have a clue it would just keep flashing and I would ignore it or cover it with black tape 🤣🤣🤣

[Gemini]

We dont ever set the time on our cooker

And my car clock is correct for half of the year!

[Daisy]

I get quite annoyed if the garage sets my car clock to GMT. I like to keep it on BST to remind me that eventually it will be right again!!

Grauntie, those are all totally true, apart from the sundial. We just turn it round slightly to show the correct time, and then rush outside to check it every time the sun shines!

I don’t set the cooker clock

[Daisy]

My OH surprised me this week-end by setting the cooker clock! I haven't thought to check if it's right, though, as I never use it and use Alexa as the timer.

The garage didn't change the clock in my car today! Woopee, I can pretend it's still Summer Time.

[Grauntie Mag]

Ho yes!

[Gemini]

So true

[Nanto2girls]

Very true Grauntie.

[Oma]

Yep so true 🤣🤣🤣

[Daisy]

Yep, Grauntie, that's definitely us! Remember the false eyelashes and loads of eyeliner, the not quite decent dresses, the blessing of tights instead of "nylons" and suspenders, the clumpy shoes, and best of all, the feeling that we could conquer the world!

[Grauntie Mag]

We would avidly watch Top of the Pops looking for the latest fashion, then hot foot it to Martin Fords in the high street. Cheap and cheerful! 😁

Being a lot older than you ladies, I was busy having babies at that time.

[Oma]

I had my DD in 1973 Plant 😁 most of this fashion was still going strong ,
Daisy can you remember the block Mascara you had to wet and the eye liner wand to get a perfect cats eye sweep ,
Backcombing your hair till it stood proud then gallons of hair spray to keep it there ,

False eyelashes either fell off or took your lids off trying to get them off🤣

My Dad used to say to us girls are you putting a skirt on with that belt as our skirts were so short 🤣🤣

GM no one missed TOTP did they , not just for the music but the fashion and new dance moves .

[Daisy]

Plant, I was having babies in the early 70s, but it didn't stop me doing the make-up and mini-dresses.

Oma, yes, the block mascara!! One product I loved in (I think the mid-late 60s) was Max Factor paint on eyeliner. It was black and shiny and once it was dry you could peel it off! I still use a more recent Max Factor product - Lipfinity lipstick. There's a colour with a wand to apply it. You leave it for about a minute then apply the clear slightly glossy topcoat, and you reapply the topcoat as needed. It's brilliant.

TOTP was essential, as was Juke Box Jury and Pick of the Pops with Alan Freeman.
