We're becoming a nation of hypocrites, ready to attack anyone who we think has exceeded the social mean, but the problem is, that the mean keeps changing, according to some esoteric algorithm that I cannot grasp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-51052709486047540542023-07-24T11:13:03.022+01:002023-07-24T11:13:03.022+01:00Yeah, Edwards is one of the dead cats to distract ...Yeah, Edwards is one of the dead cats to distract from Johnson's criminality, and there doesn't seem to be as much fuss about Wootton. I do feel that in these various revelations, the impact on the wives & families is more or less overlooked. Is it because men are still viewed as more important ? Is it because it is mainly men doing these dodgy sex secret things ? Are there female public figues with massive rattling skeletons in their closets ?Viviannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03478973141660495485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-14916193109777411172023-07-11T23:49:33.508+01:002023-07-11T23:49:33.508+01:00Always hoping for more Gin xxAlways hoping for more Gin xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-11492024004053948632023-07-06T10:35:09.126+01:002023-07-06T10:35:09.126+01:00I absolutely chortle when I manage to get Wordle i...I absolutely chortle when I manage to get Wordle in 2!

A quick visit to the bathroom for a wee, to clean my teeth and splash some cold water on my face while that's cooling down to drinkable temperature. Then I sit in bed and watch the news and catch up on FB on my iPad until I really, really have to drag myself up and chuck some clothes on. I slap on a bit of tinted moisturiser, drag a brush through my hair and then round up the dog and DD. Quick bit of lippy on my way out to do the school run and dog walk and that's my day off to a start. <br />Technically, I can be up and out in the space of about 5 minutes (including in the days when I did wear makeup) but why hurry until you have to :DAniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09978191634506926045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4776380217462070463.post-34555694778235279492016-08-19T11:35:44.860+01:002016-08-19T11:35:44.860+01:00LMAO what a great idea that would be - the belt mo...LMAO what a great idea that would be - the belt moves at the pace of your selected athlete.
