Thanks everyone for your welcomes & also the the answers to my questions. I’m relieved to know the salad cream story, whilst tragically hilarious, isn’t as gross as I feared. I forgot to ask what BIB meant, but quite honestly, I’m happy for it to be a mystery until the day I finally decode it. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed receiving likes from all of you - as I do feel like I know you from reading this site.
As a silent observer, I’ve often wanted to comment on Alice’s fashion sense; we’ve all noticed that Al’s style is ‘niche’. If I was to define it, I would say she looks like someone who has purchased some higher end bits in TK Maxx and has thrown them altogether in the hope of looking continental and classy (not successfully) Her outfits (until she gained weight) also gave me vibes of someone who watched and actively took advice from trinny and Suzannah in the late 90s. not in a good way. These days she looks more a slovenly mother who’s had to drag her best clothes from the bottom of the pile of clothes in her wardrobe to try and look as smart as possible for a parents evening at school.
