Re: Calling all ignored women!
Where's Amal got to
Have you lot frightened him off One thing all the replies above have shown is that if you're a twenty something undergraduate venturing into an over fifities forum is dangerous in the extreme , poor lad is probably shaking and shivering in his bed sit wishing he had never asked Amal if you do come back have a look at some of these so called 'life style' magazines, they are rubbish, all the photographs are taken at angles that make the subject look bigger and cleaner and brighter than they really are, when you pass about fourty you suddenly learn the tricks that magazines use.
In our house we don't usually buy any of these mags but the other day my wife did pick up a copy of.......well let's call it "Perfect Home" on page 20 "This month we love" and a picture of a rubbish desk with no room for anything like pens and pencils let alone a four ring binder and the legs as wobbly as a jelly on a plate. The text was so excruiatingly patronising and 'luvvy' and finished with "Who wouldn't want to work at this beautiful desk?"......answer NO ONE
Sorry Amal but the twenty somethings might get conned by that type of talk but not us older and wiser beings.
