journalist normally have skin thicker than a rhinos, otherwise they wouldn't be journalists! Water off a ducks back I am sure. India is probably having a lovely dinner with guest who are all whopping it up!
I'm sure she was fine 100x - no one was rude to her, just a little hectic and random, but not mean.
She said early on that she could't get worked up or upset about what a stranger said or thought - she seems a well balanced and solid sort - i think there was far more gushing and compliments than anything else.
Every day in every way I become a less responsible person.
Where's Cod? I'm going to blame everything on her. Not that there is anything to blame or feel guilty about obviously.
i thought she seemed ok with everything
she answered all the questions
she was pretty feisty too
hope she doesn't feel upset as i think most people on this thread are big fans of hers
LL - They have train stations If I were still a southern girl I'd give you a lift. Sorry too far to come. Hats, you really should try on, not buy online, very tricky!
It's like she was a guest or something, and we weren't very hospitable. Oh well, she doesn't care, that's the main thing. I always tell myself this, about everything, because I feel responsible for everything.
there is something great about this thread thats ive wanted to see for a long time, utterly hilarious, wonder if the rest of you spotted it, classic MN history
Oh you know. Grope a celeb. Being celeb's they have extra insight and wonderful cleverness, and we have a chance to interact with her. I thought it was fun actually. Not as funny as a thread with you and cod on it, minus the minor celeb, but still fun.
Wotz, I don't drive and Portsmouth is low on decent shops, plus am busy at weekends and need dress for the 17th (plus I need to find a hat once I've got it!)
Thanks India-but please stay,even undercover-you wil be amazed at what you might learn-and guarantee you will piss yourself or spray your keyboard on occasions!
One could always vary the quality of one's standard service offering, one assumes, and simply BITE VERY HARD at convenient time. Might make the situation easier to stomach.
Wow - that was SO fast - Sadly, India does have to sign off at ten this eve, so we'll start to wind down now - sorry to those who haven't had their questions answered. Well done to India though - a good many do seem to have been addressed.
As Abbymumsnet says - tis going to be a right job to transcribe tomorrow, but we'll do this over the next day or two and it should make great reading.
LOL at the Lindy Chamberlain thing. Also Maria Von Trapp. Very strange dress. However am glad to see child being christened at 17 months. Feel less guilty about leaving it 19 months and counting with DD2
I think that's true about husbands and nannies! FGS whenever anyone on here mentions that their hubby has been out with an old female friend there is UPROAR! People are screaming DIVORCE! That's just a nice friendly dinner date. Lock those husbands in a house with a rather lovely 19 year old all day and no one WORRIES?
I went to the Bodydoctor. I was waiting to get really into exercise, feel high, get totally obsessed etc etc.... never happened. Now I just walk. I believe in walking.
HW: I used to think that. Now I think any man, no matter how lovely, kind, devoted, etc etc, would probably have a shag if he knew for certain he'd never be caught.
her styling changed daily, hundredx, so as to point up her intellect (suit) shaggability (blousy thing) and demureness (weirdy flower thing). and come on, i'm spot on with the lindy chamberlain am i not.
and PI, the dress is big on teh shoulders and longer than i need too. it's a wrap so you'd think you could just pull it tighter but clever old DVF makes for proper women in bigger sizes, so the whole thing is larger. it'd look FAB on tall, statuesque, buxom beauty. i'm too short for it. [gutted]
100 - I used a personal shopper once, when I lost a ton of weight and didn't know where to start. It's not like she calls in once a week with a new wardrobe. ALas.
