Starting this thread for those of us who are done. I don’t want to just rail or fight about it with those who still believe that government messaging is in our best interest. Enough is enough.

@WouldBeGood

No allegation of being a JL groupie *@osbertthesyrianhamster* 🤣
DD keeps threatening to hack my social media and fangirl him.

Where can I get a Handmaid's Tale mask from? I got trolled on Twitter for defending my right to employ agency over my own health and decisions impacting on it. Usforthem did not appreciate my new handle of Ofgreig . Under their eye Wink

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 20:36

I got mine on Etsy. I’ll try to link.

Oh, and @Lidlfix, advice please! What should I wear for my dinner at number 1? Next week!

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 20:39

Not etsy but redbubble. There are loads, but this is mine

Waving from somewhere geographically below Berwick. Not a single Police Scotland car in sight anywhere on journey to Manchester. Very welcome in Manchester for coffee in indie business and supporting a particular area, before moving on to somewhere else. Massive difference here- asked to check in with NHS app, but no fecks given as to whether we actually do or not. In big chain today to get a table (essentially to use the toilet for DC) I genuinely forgot to put mask on, ordered at counter and upstairs to be seated before I remembered. Had a pang of guilt before I realised nobody had asked me at till. DC not wearing mask anywhere (under 12) thank goodness. Happy holidays🙌🏻

I was in N. England last week and it was a matter of waving your phone in front of the thing.

Is it a weekend night? Seems a bit more formal at weekends . My last Saturday night visits I wore a Coast mock 2 layer lace dress and (2 stone lighter) a Diva Carla pencil dress.

I was in Edinburgh last week (fairly formal restaurant)and the vibe felt (gloriously) end of prohibition chic. I wore a pleated maxi, biker jacket and wedge sandals . A very flattering patterned version of this.

We had a great day- it was so peopley. I have had 2 negative LFTs and DH a negative PCR since. So we are rocking our freedom and not impacting on positivity Grin.

I’m keeping that one to frame it, to remind me of the fucking lunacy

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 20:56

Ooh, that’s pretty @Lidlfix! It’s a Monday. I was thinking of this…

Quite classy for me, I tend to the slappery side of mutton

Love it! 'Blessed Be the Fruit Loops' is my motto.
Lidlfix · 28/06/2021 21:05

Wouldbe that's lovely! That would be perfect, you could show more flesh if your inner slapper needs an outing though. Although the restaurant is formalish it's not overtly so. And if it's Monday and warm ...

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 21:08

Yeah.. trying to strike a balance! Will do golden wedges and tons of slap

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 21:08

It’s tricky as I’m so fat

Lidlfix · 28/06/2021 21:31

I totally appreciate that feeling Wouldbe as I am the biggest I have ever been. The dress you linked to is gorgeous (where is it from?)! And looks like it could be dressed up or down to suit. Fortunately DH is not critical and understands why I might not want to don a body con number even though he thinks I would still look good . Ain't enough Spanks in the world! .Edinburgh felt amazing last week and I hope you have a decadent, hedonistic roaring 20s time.

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 21:35

It’s ASOS @Lidlfix

Yes, DP is thankfully also not critical! 😂

ElephantOfRisk · 28/06/2021 21:40

I think we all need to give ourselves a break and I'm sure you are not as fat as you think you are. And actually who gives a shit even if you are?

We've all been through unprecedented times, lots of us are no longer in the springtime of our lives.

We are strong opinionated women with lots to offer the world, both those dresses look amazing and will be/were a knock out on. Head up, shoulders back, tits forward and enjoy being out 😘

WouldBeGood · 28/06/2021 21:42

@ElephantOfRisk well said!

And if I stick my tits out no one will notice the rest 😂

ElephantOfRisk · 28/06/2021 21:45

Excellent plan, I'd need some mechanical engineering to get mine to do their duty in that regard. Not having to tuck them in the wasteband of my knickers yet so I'm taking that as a positive!

ElephantOfRisk · 28/06/2021 21:50

I've also just shoved half a family sized rhubarb and custard trifle down my throat as it was going out of date and it can't be wasted - obviously

It's one of my 5 a day though right?

Bytheloch · 28/06/2021 21:55

Calcium in the custard too (and the cream if you squint a bit) A trifle is positively health foodGrin
