Absolutely love the thread title!
Louise has been dishing out gems of parenting advice for all you rookies out there that might need a bit of inspo from someone who shunted their 22 month old out to sea on a paddle board without a life jacket to get a pic for the gram. Like
@markcorriganscrisps said, most of us would rather take parenting advice from Rose West.
The gem of parenting advice was how to get rid of the dummy in one day. This is very simple, because you take it away and then just bring it back the next day. So presumably she meant how to get rid of the dummy for one day.
Ryan got all our hopes and dreams whipped up by saying he was going to do a cook along. This got no engagement or any interest from his culinary hero Old El Paso and so our dreams were crushed. He threw us a couple of bones here and there in the form of breaded goujins on a bed of packet salad, and his signature staple, charred to Le
duck sausage.
To be fair to Brian he has been under the pump with a mince pie deal from Waitrose. This mega opportunity saw him gifted a whole box of these rare delights in a jute bag, and then he had to construct a life-affirming post about how eating a crumble top mince pie with ice cream gave you a unique insight into the past year, perhaps like a benevolent ghost in a Christmas Carol? I’m yet to try it.
louise was asked to be a seat-filler for the audience of strictly, and she jumped at the chance even though there wouldn’t be face-tune over the audience footage. She really loves the band on Strictly and has for ages and secondly, her brother’s girlfriend was on it. Unfortunately she got kicked out and Louise really boosted her confidence over the whole thing and said she wasn’t such a
tit dancer any longer so she should be proud of herself for that.
Louise as we all know is a busy working mum and the juggle is real. Just this week she had to travel as far as Oxford to promote Elizabeth Arden and stay in a hotel. It might have been last week too but we can’t know because Louise exists in her own time-zone and it has no bearing in current reality. An epic journey of 48 minutes from Paddington to Oxford that involved meticulous outfit planning. Louise was super pleased with her final choice of palazzo pjs, and our resident fashion guru Brian told her she looked cool
I’d say watch out London Fashion Week but she’d turned up to lunch with Binky in Amish fancy dress just the week previously. Like your inspirational window quote Louise- just keep swimming!
Sam is going to be I’m on a Celeb so I think I speak for all of us when I say how much I’m looking forward to Loopy Lou totally shitting the bed over that.
Please add- I’ve not mentioned Leo but then, he’s just an optional add on to their lives anyway, after the dogs and burnt roast chicken.
While we're on the topic of Mr Alfus, I still fondly remember this DM article to this day. Some cracking journalism right there...
