Great isn't it? I might see if she does it as a fridge magnet. Would certainly get my mornings off to a good start Grin

SuePurblybilt · 31/03/2012 17:31

Or stick it on the bathroom mirror

ethelb · 31/03/2012 17:33

no wonder it all seemed so wierdly staged. Lots of people suggested the whole Cherry Menlove brand was a satire on here last year!

SuePurblybilt · 31/03/2012 17:39

YY, we always said she was aiming for an American deal - stepping into the tarnished shoes of Martha S.
I am in shock though that a blog like that could have reasonably been expected to provide two salaries of 85k pa.

DaisySteiner · 31/03/2012 17:48

Oh look, you could have had that apron for your very own

CupOfBrownJoy · 31/03/2012 17:51

Love the fact that your link redirects me to this Daisy. Chippy lady is much more my style...

Please tell me sewliberated is real

LadyBeagleEyes · 31/03/2012 17:56

Aaaaargh a tabard.
I've done cleaning jobs in the past and my hatred of the tabard knows no bounds.
That hurt my eyes Cupof. Angry

CupOfBrownJoy · 31/03/2012 17:58

Hmm I've never worn one in anger, I admit.

I quite like it in an ironic way. I might start wearing one when cleaning DP's flat to rub it in that I am doing his cleaning (again) for him...

SuePurblybilt · 31/03/2012 18:00

Bloody hell, who would pay £60 for a Cherry half-apron?

CupOfBrownJoy · 31/03/2012 18:03

An aspirational fool with more money than sense Sue?

DaisySteiner · 31/03/2012 18:07

I was thinking it was probably Mr Menlove hoping for a quiet life...

SuePurblybilt · 31/03/2012 18:09

Cherry herself, on that 85K a year praps.
Do you remember her paddock Grin? With the random white B&Q benches in the middle of a field?

Happy days.

DaisySteiner · 31/03/2012 18:10

I remember it with fondness. I was assuming that this was the 'vandalism' the OP was speaking of Grin

SuePurblybilt · 31/03/2012 18:13

couldn't resist

Almost every page on the blog makes me snort. It's brilliant.

CupOfBrownJoy · 31/03/2012 18:20

That paddock looks like the sort of style I would have used aged 10 if I had unlimited funds and access to life-sized My Little Pony accessories...

mayaswell · 31/03/2012 18:22

Now you've gone and got me all het up. I'd never even heard of her this morning. You can't just put things in a field and call it a frickin garden! It's like it's all just been ordered from a catalogue and laid out for the day. I'm just so ... Perplexed. And the children. And the poorly husband. And the I love sunshine. Erm, doesn't everyone? And that's a rented house anyway, doesn't the owner mind? So many questions.

Frontpaw · 31/03/2012 18:24

Her name sounds like a porn star. Is she a real person?

LeBOF · 31/03/2012 18:26

I need to go and create long-lasting memories in my toilet.

LeBOF · 31/03/2012 18:28

God I love that girl.

cocobeefsteak · 31/03/2012 18:29

This is brilliant. She looks totally deranged in the apron pic.

The other crazy lady I am currently obsessed with is Lady Alice Douglas - I saw this article on the daily fail the other day teenage harpist moans about being dropped from BGT and I thought that name rings a bell - and then remembered a thing in the Guardian Family section a year or so ago by the mother saying she regretted putting her children in for talent shows (so why do it again?) here - www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/dec/18/television-talent-children-alice-douglas.

I was telling a friend about it and she actually met the woman and the father of the children - She said he was in Blundeston prison for armed robbery, but was doing the drama class that Alice taught and they ended up married when he got out but he 'was still a bad 'un' and they got divorced. Friend thinks the reason they split is actually because she is a publicity crazed moron and flogged every single thing she's ever done from marrying him onwards to Hello! Here is this link to the family website that republishes an article she did about him shagging the Au Pair - www.douglashistory.co.uk/history/alicedouglas.htm. I think she really ought to be as famous as Liz Jones or at least Tornado Hell Floating Walnut Shelves woman.

SuePurblybilt · 31/03/2012 18:32

Tornado hell woman was bloody brilliant too. I wish I'd saved her article.

mayaswell · 31/03/2012 18:33

She's got a slight Angelica-Huston-in the-witches look about her in that I'm having-an -orgasm-cause-my-aprons -home-made picture. And before anyone accuses me of being a cowbag a)yes I am b) if she had good pr she'd love an MN scrap.

cocobeefsteak · 31/03/2012 18:33

Here you go mytornadohell.livejournal.com/

mayaswell · 31/03/2012 18:35

Oh I remember that Alice, she was on telly years ago when she was marrying the ex prisoner. Didn't they go off and live in the wilds?
