I'll learn when I'm ready

I'm nearly twentyteen, and I don't know how to tie a tie. I went to a school where I dressed as a smurf (not literally, but you can pretend literally if you want), I didn't have to wear a tie for school. I've been to a couple of weddings, parents tied tie for me then, recent formal events, I've gone to friends in a 'I don't know how' state. Fortunatly my Dad tied a tie for me, so I'll have a ready made tie for work tomorrow. How I'll cope with doing a tie next for work when the parents are away next week I don't know. Maybe I need this site. Thank you for listening to my woes. Now feel free to laugh at me or give me lashings of sympathy.

Fuck off a minute. Whaddya mean work??? Tell auntyblog ALL about it.

The University of Reading is paying for a man to do science fun in primary schools. I love the university of reading. unless the man turns out to be a perv, or having a man in makes MORE work for me and not less. hurray for the university of reading. have they taught you to read yet?

tieing a tie....will i make you feel bad that me being a girl knows how to do a tie? :D After wearing one for 5 years i ended up learning the trick of the trade, once you got the tie on, gently loosen it so you can pull it off round your head then don;t unravel it. Leave it as it is then the next day slip it over your head then tighten it up

Aunty Blog. I'm looking forward to learning about reading soon, I hope that will happen soon. As for work. I is working at Gatwick, doing casual work at weekends and evenings. Handing tickets out, meeting people at arrivals, generally airporty stuff. I have no opinions of my work, because opinions of your workplace on a blog is bad.

Chezza - Doesn't make me feel bad, I know several people who can tie ties, I'm sure most people I know can do them. Regardless of gender. But your suggestion is what I have done. Thezza.

Dan - Freaky? Oh you can fuck off hurting my feelings like that.

Mysterious job? Well scroll up to what I told Jemima. No stringing along, I is earning money.

I went to a school where I had to wear a tie - and a cap - and a blazer. I looked like a c*nt. Though I do remember you could get ones with elastic.

I like the name thezza :D

I worked in a resturaunt where I had to wear ties and I tie my boyfriend's all the time. Try this video, it shows you how to tie a tie in the three most common knots and how to tie a bow tie. Hope it can help you get some variety in your ties instead of slipping the same one on everyday.
