The Lounge

Well my dirty weekend didn’t start as well as @KinkyMira or @WaveyAlien’s dry mud and dirt fun

I’ve been painting a shed roof with bitumen paint and it doesn’t matter how tidy you try to be some part of me always gets painted, there’s nothing better than getting down and dirty with your hands especially if there’s someone to join you. If not there’s always the shower. so now I’m off to the gym before an evening of work.

Bitumen paint is the mark of true dedication, anyone who’s painting their shed and doesn’t have a streak of paint on them isn’t working hard enough :rofl:

What can I say it’s been a messy sort of weekend for us all

Paint - You end up painting everything else aswell :rofl::rofl:

Bitumen paint layering between the different layers of felt is a minimum for the West Coast of Scotland. I’ve getting better and no longer just paint with my hands.

Anyone know is theres a chat for music?

I think there’s a couple there’s This one for what song you’re currently listening to one for General discussion about what kind of music you like and one about Favourite lyrics .

There’s probably way more but that’s the ones I know about (:

Thank you both!

Fallout New Vegas got me in that 1950s+ Music vibe currently :rofl:

Can you not crimp it back on with pliers after first opening it up a little carefully with a flat bladed screwdriver?

Else is there a local seamstress who can put in a new zip for you?

@ibanez_rg2550 @DLJL Just moving the chat here so the text replies don’t need to go through photo moderation :slight_smile:

I would suggest crimping it back on too. But remember to only crimp from the left side; the side where the material is within the tag bit. This will ensure you maintain the shape of the tag so it fits into the zip - hope that makes sense.

@ibanez_rg2550 As others have said, crimping it back on might work. Otherwise, you could take it to an alterations shop and ask if they can fix it - they might be able to fix it or they might replace the zip with a new one. It probably won’t be cheap but likely cheaper than buying a new one!

Depending where you got it from and whether they still have the same item available, you could enquire about an exchange bearing in mind it had only been worn twice before breaking. They might consider it to be faulty and therefore eligible for an exchange.

Gonna give it a go, I haven’t really had time to sit down with it and have a look with work etc.

It was a LH basque, the treasure me one I think it’s called. I’ve brought a lot of lingerie from here and never had any issues apart from this. Don’t really fancy spending another £40 if I can be fixed for a few quid/free

Awww… I became a devotee!

Omg…. :triangular_flag_on_post: messages and sock puppet accounts… give me a break!

Mrs W here …

Thank you @Biscotland … I have to look good at work, and I like looking good (and I cant change what nature gave me so I “window dress” it) … when I think I look good, I feel great (Pen and Mr W both have critical eyes so tell me what suits) … plus I have had a “bit of time” to collect different gear, and I spend a lot of time in LH underwear shop …
