I really like that. I’d add some red or gold beads for berries maybe? 

Made a cake for a birthday party. Got paid! (I’ve blanked out the name)

Mmm... jacket spuds. I like double baked spuds. Cook your potato (either in the microwave then finish off in the oven, or 100% in oven) and then cut in half and scoop out the middle. Mash that up with your topping and a splash of milk and some butter. I like cheese and bacon, and tuna. Refill your potatoes and cook…

‘My ducks’ is said in my home town. I’ve not lived there for many years now. Moved to the South West where it’s ‘babber’.

What works for me is a small, manageable goal. So rather than ‘I need to cook healthy meals every night’ I cook once or twice a week, but make a lot so I can have left overs. Or freeze portions for another week. Occasionally I cook and cook and cook at a weekend and then fill the freezer with meals, all portioned and…

It’s really easy. You just put it on your eyeball.

Unfortunately, the daily fucking mail is not the UK equivalent of the National Enquirer.

I know this is a very late reply.  Throwing a knife is a threat. You need to leave. You need to plan carefully if your boyfriend is a cop, but plan and leave. He doesn’t love you, and you are not safe.

It’s specialism in UK English. We don’t use the word specialty. We would say speciality, which has a slightly different meaning from specialism. 

I don’t sell anywhere, but I buy. And often I think people don’t charge enough. Put the cost of shipping into your price and advertise as no shipping costs.

I CAN FINALLY LOG IN TO JEZEBEL!!!

I LOVE IT when people ask me about my hair in the street. I paid a fuckload of cash to get my hair looking this good and when they ask, I am only too happy to tell who did it, explain where the salon is and share the phone number and opening hours.

Carpe hat! Just wear a fancy one and ignore the stares. You’ll start a new trend!

Well, today I learned that hats aren’t a thing in American weddings. I love a hat, especially for a wedding- you’re missing out! Hat shopping is ace!

Those people are all ‘this should be discussed in the privacy of ones own home’ and I bet almost none of them have ever talked to their kid about sex. Apart from to tell them not to, or they’ll go to hell/ bring shame on the family.

When I was a nipper, back in the early 90s, we didn’t have much sex education until 6th form (16-18yos) and what we got then was excellent. A man living with AIDS came to talk to us one session. We had a nurse talk about all the available contraceptive options. Loads of good stuff. Of course, we also had one girl who…

I originally misread your comment as saying women cross-dressed to work in the fields!

Thanks!

That’s true. Also, it’s the most rewarding work I’ve ever done. So there’s that.

It’s almost as if people who choose to be teachers* have some sort of... desire to improve the world a little.
