(Please humour me, I'm ill and thoroughly fed up of being ill!)

It was a dark and stormy night.
The wind was howling and it sounded menacing.
In the distance I could see...

…I found out her name - Voluptua McBotox - and tracked her down on Insta, and sneaked a look through my husband’s phone. Nothing yet, but…

It's even worse. The phone tracker has revealed that DH went to Jim's via McDonald's!! But I cook everything from scratch. I always buy naice ham too. What will the neighbours think....how can I face Penelope from the PTA again after this?

Floweryfrock23 · 25/10/2025 21:01

All that’s left to do now is to offer the cutted up pears which would go lovely with the naice ham, I need something while waiting for my Boden order.. I suspect though that the nanny might be..

Move22 · 25/10/2025 21:04

But is her name really Penelope from the PTA I was asked as surely that is a bit outing

Gingerwarthog · 25/10/2025 21:13

I suspect the nanny….. might be on Wegovy. She’s lost four stone in a month and is now a size 8. Am I wrong to think this is cheating? Why can’t she just eat sensibly, four lettuce leaves a day and a massive salad?

BasilParsley · 25/10/2025 21:15

Ignore - something went terribly wrong there!
Or may be not... I feel I may have entered a parallel universe... I will repeat myself...

Took me back to my yoof - over 60 years ago... The dark and stormy tale my Grandad told me went like this:

It was a dark and stormy night.
Three old men sat in a barn. One said "Jo, tell us a story..."
And this is it...
It was a dark and stormy night... three old men sat in a barn...

Rinse and repeat...!

Move22 · 25/10/2025 21:24

But then I wondered, the nanny is ‘Miss Penny’.
the girl at the gym is Nellie
surely, surely not….

Before getting the coach to Nee to treat herself to a yoni massage from Brian.

Newcastle. Bloody phone.

Yoni massage 😂

Seeing as I'm in Newcastle anyway, I may as well go and...

Check out my house on Rightmove, Why won't it sell?

FantasticButtocks · 26/10/2025 00:07

maybe it’s because there’s a tiny little Korean lady who won’t get out of the garden. She has taken up residence there and won’t be moved. Which is very inconvenient for me as I’m having a dinner party tonight and I’ve got to put the pom bears in a bowl… I know I’m being unreasonable and I sound like hard work, but…

Preparing the cutted up pear...

Wimpod · 26/10/2025 00:46

and I have 3 pizzas for 43 guests which should be fine as I survive on that much all the time.

Wimpod · 26/10/2025 00:46

plus there's the tomato soup to go with the Pom Bears of course.

ValBiro · 26/10/2025 00:47

And the naice ham, ofc...

goplacidly · 26/10/2025 00:48

And the people in the hedge are too busy for pizza anyway

Wimpod · 26/10/2025 00:49

of course

Hopefully the guests will bring naice wine which I can secrete in my wine cellar and bring out the cheap stuff. 👍🍷
