National Marigold Day

[mrs_overall]

I have decided today is National Marigold Day.
I shall celebrate by using my very best pair of Marigolds - a fetching pair of purple ones with polka dot detail.
Marigolds are NOT just for washing up. A prize of a cake (waits for the arrival of Boo) to the person who can think up the most original use for Marigolds

[lady-janine]

balders and DTC - that is not very nice at all. you should be ashamed of yourselves calling mrs overthecounter a 60yr old scrubber.

little black book, red pen and loads of underlining for you both.

So should we call Mrs Overandupandunder her 'Wendy' and put her at 40?

Or she could be 'Cheryl' - in favour being that she's 21 not that any woman gets beyond being 21 of course..........

Uses must include udder protection for goats and Welsh sheep, disguising oneself as an Aston Villa fan using separate claret and blue gloves, the other part of the pairs good for footwear and then *** your beloved.

Disappointed Mrs O my idea and I was hoping to get all your fans to subscribe to an Anthony Gormley type installation of replicas of you and your famous Marigolds situated in the harbour at Whitby repelling the detergents and oil slicks from the incoming tides. A bit like the fabled King Canute.

A gift to Tracey Emin so she can change her bed safely.

Corylus could be on to something there Madame Eau.

Damien Hirst has put a statue ("Verity") on Ilfracombe harbour. You could certainly site an "installation" constructed entirely of rubber gloves on Whitby harbour.

Perhaps Google "Anselm Kiefer" for inspiration ;o)

[corylus]

God Forbid that a statue of the Sacred Mrs O could replace the one of Captain James Cook overlooking Whitby.

She has only discovered Marigold Gloves, then again what did Capt. Cook bring us from Oz?

[DTCwordfan]

Marigolds perhaps, corylus, with all that *** that there is in Oztralia...

[mrs_overall]

My serious question degenerated into a type of poker game between baldric and DTC. Shame on the pair of you!

Re the interest in my age - for your information I am in that difficult 10 year age gap women go through between 39 and 59.

I quite like the idea of a statue of me overlooking Whitby harbour representing a homage to Marigolds.

A quiet thanks to Corylus for giving me the idea for this thread and to all those who came up with inventive uses for Marigolds

[gness]

Well.....I suppose a statue would be somewhere for the seagulls to........sit..x

[mrs_overall]

Gnes, I have spent my life covered in s***.....it is just the depth that varies xx

[gness]

And you always come up smelling of roses, my love......or Guinness if you've been sitting next to me in the pub.......☺

If you were going to a fancy dress do as Colonel leghorn Foghorn one on the head could serve as a coxcomb.

[aelmpvw]

gness with an axe and mrs_o with a marigold on her head, no wonder they get barred from pubs

[mrs_overall]

ael, I would just like to point out that Gness is on the Whitby Licensed Victuallers red alert warning list. I am not.

[aelmpvw]

having reconsidered i suppose an axe is more threatening than a marigold
