Oh, but this sucks balls. Mark, I’m so sorry.

THIS. You haven’t really experienced the full horror until you’ve turned up at an industrial town in Finland at 11.30pm, and all there is to eat is something the hotel bar is calling nachos, which appear to be based on a picture some Finn saw of some nachos once. (Chopped frankfurter, sliced tomato, yoghurt and chips.…

Travelling that much for work sucks. I’m a veteran at this stuff, and no hotel on earth is as nice as my bed at home. The perks you get with things like reward points soften what can be a pretty horrible way to make your living, and while I don’t think I’d be as hyperbolic if I was a Starwood points holder, I do…

That’s an outrageously stupid editorial decision. I’m terribly sorry for you and your colleagues: this is a damned good blog (one of the few I check daily). I hope you all go on to better (and stupendously well-paying) things.

WHAT?

My ex had one - he’d be 49 now.

This news gives me tingly feelings.

This is the same sort of thing, only the cats appear to be on some sort of performance-enhancing drugs.

I was on a killer diet in the mid 00s, and had promised myself that once I got down from a UK 16 to a UK 10 (that’s a 12 and a 6 in US sizing) I’d buy myself one. Because I thought they were cute AF.

Until the mention of the lawyer, I thought it was my ex-boss. The one who got sacked for being so spectacularly brainless that the people who owned the company actually noticed.

Imaginary celiac woman. All my chips (gluten-free chips) on imaginary celiac woman.

I feel you. I’ve been away all weekend, and after the awful news, my joy in cuddling my cats knows no bounds.

I’m an overnights pad all day person too, for catching...overflow - I really don’t find them a problem at all. I’d be interested to find out why some people can’t tolerate pads at all; for me, even the larger ones are perfectly comfortable.

That is *surprisingly* cheering.

Christ, we forget how lucky we are sometimes. My pregnancy was found to be ectopic three weeks ago, and I’ve had to have an operation as well as the emotional pain of losing a much-wanted pregnancy that we’ve been trying for for years.

Brit here - what did he say?

Thank you - that’s really helpful!

Same with us - king bed, Tempur mattress, marital BLISS. (I also wear ear plugs and a sleep mask. It’s magical: like sleeping in a sensory deprivation chamber.)

Help me out, ladies who are better at the waterline than I am: how do you get it to stay on? Even Urban Decay 24/7 wears off my waterline and ends up in filthy little glittery balls of goo in the inner corner of my eyes within about ten minutes of putting it on. Same with gel liners with little brushes. Kajal is a…
