MrTumblesSpottyHag · 03/01/2021 20:08

The beauty industry. I like the way I look and even if I didn't I'm too lazy to spend time faffing with contour or drawing on my eyebrows every day.

Yes definitely take away coffee and eating in the street on the move
Take away coffees, buying breakfast on the way to work, buying lunch sandwiches, usually followed by moans about being broke! My grandmother used to tell me that the only time eating in the street was, marginally, acceptable was at the seaside, chips and fish or candy-floss.

@CremeEggThief I don't get staying in bed. I've never slept in later than 10am in my life! Why waste the morning? 😉

Smoking is the number 1 thing I can't fathom. There don't seem to be any advantages to it.
Instagram and twitter or anything that needs 'followers'
Why we have children (and why I want a second one).
