I am partial to a fruit shortcake, but once youve opened the pack. O my , your lucky if there's many left.
Not the best for dunking though, and don't we all enjoy a good dipping from time to time? 😉

Friends - a couple - go to sex parties and sex clubs so that he can watch his DW having sex with multiple
partners. She’s bi and enjoys people watching her. They also have an arrangement where she occasionally get paid - a token amount as it’s all about the ‘kink’ of being a ‘sexworker’.
Each to their own but I can’t imagine the looks they’d get at the school gates if it came out.

What are they like at the school gates? My guess is quiet and unassuming 😄

I wonder what he gets out of the arrangement though, is he sleeping with others too do you think?

One of the senior managers has a private business & often takes on last minute contracts during work hours. The rest of the SLT are unaware & think they're doing their regular job. The senior manager will cancel meetings at the last minute if a private job comes up. As we all work remotely the SLT can't track & haven't noticed the moonlighting manager.

Are we rooting for her? Is she nice to you or a dick?

As the saying goes, work smarter, not harder

I also know someone who’s very posh, curvy girlfriend is a high end ‘specialist’ escort - dominatrix. Gets paid a small fortune to walk up and down the backs of judges and the like in heels… swears she doesn’t have sex with the clients. She’s posh enough to go to dinner or events before locking them up in women’s pants in a wardrobe, spanking them or whatever…
She’s an artist who doesn’t want a normal job, wants to earn shedload of cash but comes from money ( think private school, Oxbridge, daddy’s in finance etc) and I’ve always found it weird that this is what she does when her parents would bankroll her…

👀👀

I feel like if someone paid me to insult and step on them, I'd give it a shot 🤭

That said, I am not rich

If i was rich, I wouldnt be doing anything for a man, i'd be 100% a pillow princess 🙈

But you wouldn't want to marry a Jammy dodger, they would only be good for a bit of fun, would rather marry the rich tea, but that is probably showing my age.

I'd avoid the Garibaldi, full of pretensions and will only be a disappointment.

I am friends with a woman who slept with one of 911. She missed her English GCSE in the process. She was 16 so not illegal but still ick, he would have been in his mid twenties.

What a story though 😄 (for her)

From a borrowed phone that when returned hadn't been deleted. I found out my Cousin is into Trans escorts. google history was full of that & porn. Plus photos dont worry nothing bad just of wads of cash.

Each to their own and all that. Same Cousin also got back together with his Ex & proposed while she was really poorly. He only did it to try get her money. Sadly she passed away but before the Wedding, so i'm hoping he didnt get anything.

Omg see i was feeling sorry for him at first, thinking maybe he's shy about liking the peen

But now i'm judging him

Also, why cant he just date a trans person like everyone else

This isn't really 'juicy gossip' but here goes. One of my closest friends is married with 2 dc, but often complains about how her DH shows zero interest in her sexually now - and they haven't slept together in years. Their marriage isn't in the best place overall.

I really like her DH, but if I'd met him independently of my friend, I would have absolutely presumed he was gay. A few others have said the same thing (without any prompt from me). I strongly suspect he's closeted - very sad - and I really don't know how my friend doesn't 'see' this.

😬😬😬

Feel for her though, some women are blind

Judging him a little tbh

No he’s not rich at all. I could never figure out the reason she stayed with him. They give the illusion of being comfortable but they are up to their eyes in debt. She tells lies about expensive holidays when in fact they go to caravans Clacton. Not that there’s anything wrong with that but she doesn’t want anyone to know. You won’t find someone like him in Waitrose, unless they start selling gas masks!!!

😭😭😭😭 omg

Some people are just a mess honey

My DB and his wife have both been trying to shed the pounds or kilos for years! Deapite resetting dietitians, personal trainers and gyming 4 times a week they lost a bit and remained over weight and obese. But in the list 13 months without any changes all of a sudden they are skin and bones nothing has changed but they don't eat. And i recently found out they are on ozempic. Not medically warrented so obtaining the incorrect ways. When i confronted DB he just laughed. But literally nothing has changed and no other reason for this weight loss. It was confirmed a month ago by another family member.

Well so what? It’s not illegal and if it’s helped them to get healthy and to a normal weight that’s great. What is there to “confront” about? They’ve not done anything “wrong”! If they were obese that’s exactly who should be using them!

Would you have preferred they stayed the “fatties” of the family so you can feel superior?

I really don’t get all the hate for the WLI. If I could afford them, I’d be on them too like a shot!

No. Think tall skinny ex addict.

Vile to people. Grabby too.
I've been in my industry years and she's a chancer. No interest in other women.

Trinny?

One of my clients told me she suspected her husband was having an affair. She didn’t want to upset the family home etc so she’s kept quiet but has recently started seeing someone at work herself behind DH back. He best friend is also my client. She told me it is HER who is having an affair with first clients husband but she doesn’t have a clue. She also doesn’t know about friends secret fella at work. So I have to sit and listen to the stories and try not mix them up just incase I let anything slip. Client one will be like I think he was with her last Thursday afternoon, if I find out who she is. I feel like saying I KNOW he was with her Thursday afternoon noon she told me yesterday! Bloody scumbags.

Are you a nail tech artist? I’ve sat next to someone having a similar conversation in a busy salon and both me and my nail tech were enthralled and boggling at the convolutions of the triangle being revealed! Or actually as someone said earlier, more like a pentagon of lust!

Always like hearing about people who've had, erm, 'encounters' with celebrities. Probably wouldn't be that exciting in real life, though.

MK of SB?

I don’t know why but this was my first exact thought too. I guess because they are more prominent now with their son’s success as a media personality. It’s probably someone I’ve completely forgotten about!

Mine relates to a recently disgraced former MP. His antics are not a surprise to anyone who knows him. He also left his wife on Christmas Day for his mistress and attacked the other man she was having an affair with (sitting MP). He's been having the affair for years and it's only stopped because he's no longer in parliament. He's also still drinking despite court conditions citing he must stay away from alcohol.

Why not just name him?

I quit my job 6 months ago, but I haven't told a soul. I had a lot of stressful changes in my life, and I just couldn't cope with it any longer because my boss was quite temperamental and unpredictable. I just quit one day after working out that financially I could afford to retire a little earlier than planned, or that I could afford to take a year out now, and find a new job next year.

I haven't told my kids, or friends, or even my partner. I wfh on my laptop, so nobody really sees me work etc, but I just don't want to have to justify it and explain myself to people. When I'm speaking to people and they ask what I do, I just pretend I'm still doing it (whilst smiling on the inside)! I've managed for this long without telling, that I'm starting to wonder if and when I should tell anybody at all. it feels like a nice secret!

Good for you! Enjoy!

Uni friend had a promiscuous phase while working abroad after graduating. She was very quiet and studious, had only had one previous boyfriend, the last person you would expect to have a wild phase. Several celebrities were involved in this man-eating period.

Meanwhile I was stuck in a small English town...

That’s not really gossip is it. You’re just jealous that she had a good time and you didn’t.

All that to marry him anyway. He must be rich

Is he one of the rich men i'm trying to find in waitrose? 👀👀

Are transvestites my competition??😭😭 I might lose
