It’s a tense watch, in a cringe way. If you need to de-stress after I suggest watching ‘Repair Shop’ which is like a gentle, cheering hug of a programme. It’s where people take items of sentimental value to be repaired and given a new life - there was an elderly lady on last night who had her grandfather’s accordion repaired - it was so love and emotional. I heartily recommend it as an antidote to all the hideous tit going on in the world right now x
@Badabing101 Aw that sounds lovely. Another lighter watch is Bridgerton. Beautiful costumes and the drama is all very champagne problems and who is going to marry who. The books can have some questionable story lines but haven't watched far enough to see how they deal with those plot points yet. So far fun escapism.
Motherland is hilarious!OT: I have started watching Motherland after your recommendations and it is giving me anxiety
Haha. Marian Keyes posted a picture of herself wearing the same wedding dress Sali had. Of course Sali had to comment
"That's sadly all I can offer you" Why do you need to "offer" anyone anything?

I've realised that when I thought I liked Sali's work, I was actually enjoying the people around her. Like, her articles were always crap but you could find useful and fun stuff in the comments and I was probably giving Sali way too much credit for that content. And when I used her site, the blog was never much cop - it was the forum users that made it worthwhile visiting (and where you'd get recommendations for things that didn't cost £100 - hurrah for Natural Collection Waterguard mascara!).

What did Sazza say to Mazza?
What did Sazza say to Mazza?
Something like "this was my evening wedding dress and I love this photo even more because Marian was there when I got married"
The idea of her having "literally hundreds" of flannels in her cupboard, "gallons" of body lotion, and "about a dozen Slip silk hair ties" (that's £160 worth of bleeping scrunchies) makes me genuinely sick, in the same way the photo of Caroline Hirons' huge larder of skincare made me sick. Not only is it totally unnecessary to have this much stuff (over TWO HUNDRED flannels for a family of four, why??), it goes against her hilariously thin claim to care about sustainability and the environment, and just shows her to be as out of touch as she now is. To be a slave to consumerism to this degree in the year 2021 is as pathetic as it is gross.
Maybe I'm being harsh and she actually uses all 12 silk hair ties, it's not my place to judge if she wants to cosplay as Gwen Stefani in the comfort of her own home.
Amen.
She is not going to state her favourite go to products. She would not affiliate herself with a brand/product free of charge.
She would also not want to risk putting off any companies from working with her, after she has nailed her product flags to the wall. It's all about the money.

Bridgerton is brilliant - like a cross between Downton Abbey and Sex and the City
. It’s pleasing and cheering and soothing - even slightly cosseting.What about gladdening?
I’m trying to work and homeschool today. What an absolute JOKE. My 7 year old is pretty annoying and CAN’T SIT STILL. Send help. 10 year old is in his room working quietly for the moment. Phew.
tit. I forgot that one.
Utterly irrelevant but went to the dentist for check up and he said that whitening trays can rarely be reused as within 6 months teeth move around. Yet another thing Sali claimed as a 'one off investment' that can be topped up for life with gels. (He said whitening procedures often disappoint people and its due to the trays not fitting rather than the product strength.)

It's still giving me a "nervo"
I love watching Anna Maxwell Martin. Her face is magic
She is all of us.
God she just loves pandering to famous people. She doesn't have friends, she collects blue ticks
Her efforts to get Nigella's attention, for example, are just cringe
I am trying to think which social-climbing Jane Austen character she would be, but it's been too long. Bingley?

I also think it's a little bit more than that. It's making it clear that the dress was hers first
Oh for sure. Claiming ownership. Who wore it best/first. There are multiple layers to her endless narcissism
