@Poppy_yyyyyyyy Regardless of the narrow escape from a ghastly partner, who on earth spends that sort of money on make-up for a wedding? I did my own using what I had, the only cost being a few replacement potions from my favourite supplier.

@JessupShannon My younger one also had this. In those days (1980s) no advice available. I did all I could until I was worn out and then often had to leave her to cry it out. I’m sure better advice now available but I still feel guilty about it. Hard to know the effects it had, but I do wonder.

This is absolutely shocking but only to be expected from this corrupt government. It is NOT what the House of Lords is for. And tying the hands of appointees so they can’t vote against the govt is an in precedented abuse of power.

Boris Johnson is planning to fill the Lords with his cronies and legitimise bribery | Gordon Brown

The honours system is rife with abuse and a paper by Lynton Crosby’s firm suggesting ‘rewards’ for compliant peers proves it, says former prime minister Gordon Brown
