Caterpillar eyebrows. What do you see when you look in the mirror?

FlamingoAndJohn · 23/02/2020 09:36

Duvet days. I’m sure some people love it but I have to get up and get out of the house, at least for an hour or so.

HunterAngel · 23/02/2020 09:45

Reality shows like love island. I don’t mind ones about skill like bake off or pottery throw down but why do people like watching the car crash people make of their lives?

Coffee. Not a fan.

Avocados. Just why?

This weird obsession with ‘celebrities’ private lives. Why are we so keen to put someone on a pedestal then kick it out from under them and laugh on social media while they struggle under the unforgiving gaze of the paparazzi?

Light evenings! I like my evenings dark. I get quite excited in August when the evenings slowly start getting darker again and I know autumn is on its way.

Referring to 'being on a journey' it's just wanky.
Eyelash extensions

Begging for money for something you want from your 'followers/subscribers'... buy your own new camera Karen!

Package holidays (I've never been on one. I don't understand them)
Girls Nights Out or weekends away with the girls.
