Having a big group of mates. I've always had individual friends rather than been part of a group. I had my first child young so never had the wild drinking holidays with friends but I never really wanted to do that anyway. Anything to do with driving. I can't drive and never will.

Leather sofas! Horrible cold slippy furniture! My in laws have them, they look lovely but it takes about a thanks years to warm up the but you're sitting on and then you can't move an inch or you're back on a cold spot and have to tense your body to stop yourself sliding off. 😆 The absolute opposite of relaxing. I know they're wipe clean yadda yadda but it is not enough to lure me away from a textile sofa.

@MrsHugsxx I am so glad to see someone who doesn't like driving here! I hate it and I resent every penny I wasted on lessons, insurance and a car and all the other costs. Everyone was saying I need it for when I have children but thankfully I have a like-minded partner so we're planning to have children now and just live near shops and public transport.

Bubbinsmama · 05/01/2021 22:09

Shaving off ALL pubic hair...
Trim, Yes, neaten up, Yes, Shave some, Yes
But the whole lot?
This stems from the Christmas Goggle box in which it showed a clip from naked dating, boggles my brain, and low and behold every lady had no garden, some stubble, yes but no garden
Then the lad comes strutting out and he is as bald as them...
I appreciate we are all different but I do not get it at all, nothing worse as stubble in your knickers Grin
