I agree. I used to hate the workplace Christmas dos. Most people wanted to do the full dressing up in gowns and jewellery and it’s just not me.Hi LATI,
I read your post and had to chuckle. I hate buying something for an event I don't really want to attend. Paul got me a t-shirt as a joke, it says "sorry I'm late, I didn't want to come". I have really felt like saying that at some crappy events lol
I saw that t shirt & nearly bought it...problem is I'd wear it at Mr B's family torture events &he'd kill me.Hi LATI,

That's awful!!! I'm amazed! Why would they do that????I agree. I used to hate the workplace Christmas dos. Most people wanted to do the full dressing up in gowns and jewellery and it’s just not me.
I used to beat myself up about it so decided I was not going to attend again.
The abuse and snide remarks were off there scale. But I didn’t care because I felt free of having to conform. It felt good.
Well they get into groupthink or at least they did in that particular office. We were all social workers from two different authorities. The team with the nasty people got broken up and sent to other teams.That's awful!!! I'm amazed! Why would they do that????
I have two NL jumper dresses I bought on clearance about 10 years ago; they have cowl necks, little patch pockets and are mid-thigh. I originally bought a black one and then bought the only other option which was red. I have had loads of wear out of them, the ribbing around the hems are going a bit waffly but I'm loathe to part with them until I find similar replacements.Well they get into groupthink or at least they did in that particular office.

It was probably coincidence that several horrible bullies ended up in one team.
I felt good though standing up to them.It taught me to say no to things I didn’t want to do.
In terms of NL I have some trousers I still wear from Lennys days. I think he cared about his designs. It still annoys me he is never referred to and the presenters refer to NL as a woman.
I recently heard fashion guest Alex Hayden refer to her and that JacquI is the brand ambassador for NL, but that she stands in for JacquI when she can’t be at QVC.Does anyone know if Jacqui Joseph has stopped ambassadoring this brand.
Havent seen her for ages, and she does quite a lot of presenting on BBC One now.
Thanks
I like these 2 presenters as wellthanks for that, I do like both of them - not over the top, like a lot of others!
