    Then there was the chap who fed his child a burger in the mad cow debacle
    The Labour chap who had problems with bacon sandwiches and bananas.
    Practically every politician who drank a pint particularly Nigel Cabbaaage
    Egwina Curry

    Used to know the man and his family quite well
    … I did some freelance work for his father and my ex did all the building/repair and decorating work on his constituency home for many years,  and as a valued customer we entertained him and his wife at our home on several occasions and we were entertained there alongside cabinet ministers etc. Think we were used to show his credentials as a constituency mp. I imagine he is still very afraid about some of the stuff I know. 🙄

    I've just managed to poison my coleus with carpet shampoo.
    I'll let you know if it turns out to be the new wonder fertiliser😒

    I'm hoping so. Five plants varying colours.

    Major curmudgeon here. Daughter gets married in 6 weeks, took very expensive ( nearly 2k) dress to be altered, the little sleeves she wanted and paid extra for more lace for. 2 seamstresses have confirmed it’s impossible on that style of dress. She was sold the dress in the understanding that sleeves were possible and is now in meltdown. 
    She already had to postpone her wedding due to covid and had to find a new florist and photographer because of companies going out of business. 
    To add to this she was diagnosed with MS a few weeks ago and is partly paralysed on her right hand side. 
    In her condition stress is the very worst thing and she now has to do battle with wedding dress shop. I want to go and slap the lot of them!

    Happy slapping @debs64.  Nothing like an irate mother to help sort out a wedding dress problem.
