Oh you would hate me @Fashionista101 Grin
I can't be doing with sitting paying good money for someone to faff with me and make small talk. Thoroughly boring.
I'd rather read a book or have a nap.

I saw the header, and opened this with the intention of saying the show Friends (and Aniston as I cannot stand her) only to see it in the body of your post, LondonElle. Good minds think alike!

Coffee. I try. My friends always want to go out for coffee. Meet up for a coffee. Come round for a coffee. I just like tea. But coffee is the cool thing and it makes me feel sick when it’s really milky but tastes like cow dung without it.

MumW · 22/01/2019 14:56

Gluten free everything
I can explain that one. If you have an intolerance then there is nothing to not understand. Went out yesterday and ate some by accident - it happens - without going into details, I'm sitting her with a tummy rumbling like thunder and unable to move far from the bath room.

My list...
Tattoos
Love Island, Big Brother etc
Overly long nails - get them manicured professionally by all means but when they become tallons, get them filed.
Celebrities/ordinary people who think we want every miniscule detail of their lives posted on social media.
