Oh, dear Lord, does Elsie not realise that every country on the entire planet will have the exact same number of sunrises in February - and what does she find so exciting about this one?



Also, ‘whose’ … instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money on her Smythson diaries, Elsie really needs to INVEST IN A DICTIONARY!

It‘s just so perfectly you and THAT is why you are our Queen

Oh, thank you to you and Master Midnight for a heavenly trip and this beautifully curated swag bag of dreams to remind us of you both and your hospitality. Deeply moved and hugely appreciative of your generosity. xxx

Thank you for the beautiful gifts and memories.
I was once brought back a boomerang from Australia, threw it over the garden wall but it never came back. Turned out it was a stick

I always wanted an inscribed Jute bag and seashells in a glass bottle…Vegemite and Tim Tams are an experience not to be missed along with home-made lemon curd…Then there are our twirling nighties and pyjamas. Master Midnight carried all my luggage up and down those verandah steps and helped me so much. He said he wanted to do his bit for ’Help the Aged’…Such a lovely young man.

Big sighs as I unpack my goody bag of dreamzzz…I’m keeping the Tiffany for best, Teddy Bear is already showing his kangaroo around his billabong. Our photo is up in pride of place on my desk and all is well with the world…

I have to tell you - I listened to it - all 47 mins. All a load of gushing between the two but interesting on Glóby.

“I hope I don’t start crying but Covid has brought the biggest change - being at home - I used to travel three times a month. So not prepared for anything of what was going to happen. I hit rock bottom before change could be made. I was on medication - I’d been on it before, so wasn’t expecting it to effect my mental health. I never say failure but I launched a brand and it didn’t go how I planned it to go - I’m so grateful for it now but it was not received as I perceived it would. I was talking to my friend, Charlie, and he said ‘at least you tried to bring out something different’ I could have brought out a bunch of lipsticks - I probably should have. So it wasn’t received as I had hoped and it was a hard lesson to learn and I know now what I’m not good at and what I’m not capable of and what I need to do better. At the time it felt awful and catastrophic but now, two years on, I’m happy I went through that’

More later - I’m dead late for the dentist!

Whilst my dear friend is at the dentist; I bet my last nerve that Elsie will not have mentioned how sorry she was for the rotten experience everyone had of Globy. I mean it was a badly planned , badly executed quagmire of disappointment - allegedly 2 years in the making! Nobody had considered what the purchaser’s journey was going to be like. The main consideration seemed to be the moolah! This shone through…I remember all the incorrect ISO information on the sheet they (Carrie) produced. Not even country of origin initially. Then they changed the info and the TnC’s daily…then the VAT then the postage fiasco…yeah, I’d have been glad to go through all that too…NOT. EVER…

I remember doing a rough calculation at the time based on the costs and the numbers. I figured if she bought 6000 units and made £35 profit on each unit she was looking at a pay day of £215k. She hadn’t seemed to have considered people would ask questions or might want to return the goods . All that blurb about staff at the warehouse ready to pack the order…I never saw her in the same light after that.

I have to agree, and quite strongly!

I actually started following Lidl just before she got married and moved into the bung. Her style, whilst copied was much cleaner in the lines and flattering for her figure. Was more inspiring if anything.

Current Victoriana seems to be a very weird attempt to dress in the so-called cottagecore style. Suspect this is Jose's influence... However, I know people who do wear long/prairie dresses on the daily, but this is actually their style and has been for a long time. They style the dresses accordingly and always look well put together without the clothes wearing THEM. Whereas Lidl, it's all an act. Pretending to be something else until a new thing comes along

I hope it wasn't one of us. I know we don't always adhere to the rules here (off topic anybody?) but trolling is against the rules for a good reason. We can say what we like on here.

As I said previously, I think I know who it is, as I had some correspondence with them on Instagram a while back.

I have a little handheld steamer. Wouldn’t recommend it as a replacement for an iron. I use it to take out the creases of dresses or pants after wearing them once or if they come out of my closet creased (don’t have the big walk in closet our Lidl has).
