That wasn't me, HC,that was was some filthy woman who looks a bit like me and allows her 2-year-old to destroy the peace of sour-faced women in pizza restaurants, then spends £4000000 on cab rides.
I feel quite judgey about women like that.

Meheheh. Can I recommend the Stratford shopping centre for anyone out East who is especially bored in the hols? Large Wooolies, er Peacocks, er MaccyDs. Amazing people-watching although some of it is local teens being searched by the police. Also sniffer dogs at the tube...

Yuk, it's like workhouse wear. It's all shapeless and baggy and hugely unflattering.

Vile.

Act-u-ally it is freakishly flattering - it's really well-cut 'shapeless', in a way that implies that, underneath, I am ravishing.
