Tweet So it’s the first day of a squeaky clean new year! Without making resolutions I can’t keep, I am going to spend the next 5 days eating all the crap out of my house. This is so that when I get back to normal next week and back to work, I can look forward [...]

Tweet Just thought I’d have a little RANT about the “help” that people get when they’re unemployed. So when you’re sitting comfortably I’ll begin. Coming from a family with a strong work ethic and as a descendant of generations of Welsh miners, with a pre-programmed desire to be employed for as long as I possibly [...]

Tweet At the risk of embarrassing my family…I would like to discuss TITS! AKA Melons, Bazookas, Boobs, Breasts, Bitty, Bosoms and a raft of other colloquial nicknames. Men and I suppose some lesbians, seem to love them and often in conversation with large chested women of ample cleavage, cannot avert their eyes away from these [...]

Tweet Shopping takes on a whole new meaning at Christmas time. It seems that no amount of snow, ice or slush can stop feisty housewives from over spending, stocking up or shopping until they are dropping! I live on a bus route, which has been iced up for days, apart from one lane which is [...]
