My Nan always used the word SHUNKLY to discribe something that glittered like sequines. Its a word that all of use in our family.

She also used to say that if someone was dawdling or walking slowly they were TRERKLING along. A nice discriptive word but dont know if its a proper word.

 

Ha haa! Shunkly! I'm not going mad! Thank you. I used this word the other day and my wife (cheshire...tut) looked at me gone out. My old mum used to say this but I almost convinced myself I'd made it up
