After years and years of being morbidly obese I’ve lost 10 stone, grown my hair, gone blonde and had my teeth straightened.

I’ve got a significant birthday coming up and my absolute fricking DDDDD is covering for me a week off care responsibilities (DH is confined to home and needs someone in the house at all times, lending me her fancy pants wonderful convertible jag Shock told me to explore the Lake Distrist for a week. Weather looks a bit rubbish but I was imagining driving through the wonderful countryside with the top down wind shimmying my blonde tresses listening to music at a respectable volume.

what tunes would you suggest I need on the car jukebox before I head back to mundanity.

TIA

Surely you want to experience this with a good girlfriend??!

Well, if it were me I’d be singing at the top of my voice, so I’d include:

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
I am Woman
Cabaret
Maria (Blondie)
Sweet Dreams Are Made of This
Sisters Are Doing it For Themselves
These Boots are Made for Walking
Something by Alanis Morisette
Something by Amy Winehouse

and so on

Have a lovely weekend.

Why? Are women not allowed to be alone in a car now?

And to answer your actual question, @FinGizz , I always play T Rex or The Cure when I’m trying to feel cool. I’m not cool in the slightest BTW.

I hope you have an amazing time!
