I WFH so currently living in cropped jeans and a nice t shirt or wide leg trousers and a boxy t shirt. If I’m helping on the farm (like today) usually general country wear and wellies, that’s what I’m most comfortable in.

What are you most proud of about yourself, something that you’ve accomplished or done - big or little?

Being a good friend and listener - and always having someone's back.

Last time someone/something took your breath away?

It's going to have to be a car unfortunately. I really begrudge buying cars! Closely followed by a new kitchen and fitted wardrobes!

If its permitted, my Spotify account and really good quality headphones ( presuming food , water and shelter are provided).

What's your one pet niggle at work that could easily be solved ?

( mine is we get two types of biscuits but only one biscuit barrel, someone is always unhappy about the choice of biscuit , yet we cant have a second barrel . )

This made me chuckle - can’t both types of biscuits not go in one barrel? I know a lot don’t like to mix, say…a ginger biscuit with a digestive because they all end up tasting the same πŸ˜‚

Mine would be HMRC’s website. I’m not sure who designed it for them but it doesn’t half make me cross a lot of my working time. Specifically the β€˜remember me for 7 days’ check box. It’s never remembered me for 7 minutes, maybe I just don’t mean that much to it πŸ˜‚

Well I’ve just checked my diary and it seems I have sod all to look forward to this week. Work and a few meetings is all that’s in. I don’t even have plans yet for my days off.

Back at you? Hope it’s looking more entertaining/enjoyable than mine!

cheapskatemum · 14/09/2026 21:22

@MudandMoeti feel really guilty now that I’m flying to Malta with DH, DS1 & DiL on Friday. It’s a place I’ve wanted to visit for ages, so really looking forward to it. Please book something really nice to do on your days off.

So my question is: what nice thing are you going to do for yourself this week? (Obviously anyone can answer this)

Nope because people will nudge the top ones out of the way to get to 'their' biscuit and so give the top biscuit the dreaded lurgy.

Probably my leather jacket , I have had it about 15 years , it was well worn knackered and dried out 2nd hand when I got it. But it's lovely and soft now after a lot of tlc.

How many lamps are in your home ?

I've kept a dress I wore on our first date and my wedding dresses - they're in a box in the loft though!

In my wardrobe, is a dress that's a bit too short but I can't seem to let it go! I've tried it on a few times! Perhaps I should just wear it around the house πŸ˜‚. It's very nice! I'll try to post a photo of it tomorrow! Maybe for the Christmas party this year it can make it's debut appearance! πŸ‘—

Is there anything you would not wear? (Item or print)

I'm going out on Friday for dinner so that's my nice thing for this week - no doubt I will go shopping at the weekend and something will catch my eye though!

A thong /string bikini
I’m not remotely fussed about my fat knockers and flabby sagging arse hanging out of a normal one but the old cheese grater up the Jack n Danny would drive me insane !!

Worse look on a man ? ( mine is β€˜ hunky hipster’ wearing a lumberjack shirt and a big beard and boots - but actually works in Costa )

I'm with you on that πŸ™Œ! On my 'No' list is facial hair of any type, long hair, lumberjack/quilted shirts, a gilet, deep 'v' t-shirts, chest hair, oversized/baggy tops, jogging bottoms, the 'no socks with shoes' look and walking boots worn as an everyday footwear. πŸ˜‚ Do you think I'm too fussy!

Best look on a man? Something that would make you want to rip his clothes off! 😁

πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ your list of no’s!! I’m a little less fussy. I like to see a man in nice jeans, brown brogues and a decent ironed shirt. Added bonus if they have stubble and added double bonus if they smell good.

When you’ve washed your hair, do you leave it to dry naturally or get the hairdryer out? Then, straighten it or curl it after or leave it au natural?

Awww. I forgot the smell. God, there's a man at work... he smells SO good! πŸ˜‚ I can barely concentrate if I have to sit next to him in a meeting!

Long hair with a natural wave so I have to use a hairdryer. I do straighten it too though; depends on my outfit!

It’s just so nice when you catch a bloke smelling utterly devine!

Oh the stories I could tell to that one! I’m a bit of a devil when I’m out which is why I don’t go out drinking often. I am one of those when I’m out, I’m OUT. I usually get in a mess and have often ended up in a random bed with a strange bloke (or 2 or 3) thankfully I’ve not found myself in any shit holes though, even when wankered I still have a penchant for finding somewhat established men… not since I’ve been married I’ll add though.

What foods repeat on you?

Crikey loads of times when I was bladdered or high in my late teens/early 20s - some of them brilliant and some well dodgy (ah..I actually miss the early 90s where we owned fucking about and finding out the hard way..! )
