Perhaps lockdown will solve a few problems for some and bring sorrow for others. Learn how to recognise the shoulds and who's fruit trifle and Yorkshire puds are getting in the way of what you want.
The question this week ....... with a raise of the double eyebrow ......... "How can I manipulate my partner into doing what I want them to do?" ...... what will the girls say to this one .... take a listen. All was going well till Anna's cat decided to host a zoom zoom party and try some virtual dating. Then left field Anna gets frisky and Sara can't resist going there too.
There was a slight obsession with garden sheds and fairy lights as the girls celebrate Christmas a tad early.
Wise words shared, some fun and fisty topics aired and the girls need a little lie-down and a glass of something.
