Finally, the moment I have been waiting for.....I tune in to today's episode, and Carol is looking decidedly HAGGERED!!!!!!!!! Sorry, dont actually dislike her really, just get sick of everyone else in the press banging on about how wonderfully slim and young she looks!

What's the saying 'you can keep your face or your figure, but not both'. I think my face is lovely!!!

koshka1984 · 15/09/2006 15:54

She irritates me about as much as and as irrationally as Sue Barker, and IMO neither looks as good as people reckon. (Not that I'm one to judge...)

ooooh, dont even get me started on Sue flamin Barker!! She's just so ......pleasant! and meant to be a 'relly nice person', etc etc. but the face is like a leather bag, the hair like straw and the clothes....so bright and bloody cheery...sorry, didnt mean to be so nasty. feel better now

Sue Barker's interview technique really bugs me too. if you're having a converstaion with someone, it's ok to say "Mmmhmm. Yeah. Mmm" at intervals, but when you're interviewing on tv it's just really annoying (and once you've noticed, you can't ignore it!)

(told you it was irrational!)

Give her a break. Everyone is so down on that woman!

Just think how frumpy and awful the poor girl looked in the early days. I think she spent years trying to get away from that. Now she gets clobbered for dressing too young or whatever.

Also must be hard having to wear a different outfit 5 days a week, every week of the year, without making a few mistakes.

aDAdOnMumsnet · 15/09/2006 16:06

i was talking about carol btw not sue

koshka1984 · 15/09/2006 16:06

another thing is, if im unlucky enough to be watching it with my nan she tells me the story of her meeting Carol and she told Carol to buy her mum a nanmobile.

every time i see carol now i remember thsat...grrrr

koshka1984 · 15/09/2006 16:07

and she tells me every time! no nan i didnt forget when you told me yesterday....

fair comment. She did look bloody dreadful before. thats the point though.....I'm actually just a teensy bit of the svelte figure and glossy long poker straight hair and her ability to add and subtract.....thats why i just had to see her on an off day!!!
