hello gorgeous people of the internet welcome welcome welcome it is 9 23 here in the united kingdom i've already done quite a lot actually now i have to tell you the biggest achievement yesterday was throwing away my #leggings i've actually thrown them away and i feel liberated absolutely liberated but i've become already absolutely utterly scathing of people wearing leggings uh i've risen above you see and it's a bit like you know when you well you maybe don't i don't suppose many people do when you've when you're uh an addict and you've given it up so i used to smoke i was brought up in the #70s at a #progressive boarding school and we smoked from about 11. it was just you know we were so cool we were really really um impressed by the mulberry adverts and what have you so we all used to smoke in the woods and uh drink as well actually but um i didn't properly give up smoking until uh well i had long long periods of not smoking when i had my kids i didn't smoke for about 12 years etc but i became smug and i think one does when one gives up something one becomes smug and one immediately has to elevate one's achievement and mina make a big drama when somebody's smoking start coughing

do you know what i mean like that and uh ex-drinkers do it all the time unfortunately i'm not an ex-drinker i still have a tipple although not as much as i'd like but um yeah they do it as well the the um you see it on #facebook all the time people parading their achievements i haven't drunk a spot of alcohol for 17 years my life is so much better and you do tend to think a bit well if your life's so much better why why do you have to tell everybody and why are you on facebook i don't think i mean i'm particularly snobby about facebook now because i don't do that either i go on to just spy on my mother just to check that she hasn't made a mistake she said the other day she put a status up and she said i i do hope that romania win the war

i thought what #Romania what's what so i and i put a message up under the you know in the comments i said mum it's ukraine and she just said lol what so i went for supper later and i said mom it's we're not it's it's not romania it's ukraine and [ __ ] did i say romania but it is romania isn't it i don't know it's ukraine oh dear oh dear dear anyway back to the leggings um i can't believe i wore them but i do think it's particularly a lockdown thing um i i seem to have accumulated about four pairs during lockdown and therein lies the problem is here when

you're not going out to push posh events and making an effort to dress up and look uh swanky um you you go to the nearest lazy beast and leggings are a lazy beast they're like they're sort of like not wearing clothes aren't they really sort of a bit like being naked um and and you think they look alright but they don't they look grim totally grim so i've thrown those away and um what else am i feeling smug about today well i'm feeling quite smug that i haven't smoked for quite a while but i think i may have had one when i went to um uh the artist's thing i seem to recall but it was just a lapse just a lapse because i'm one of those annoying people that can have a cigarette and then not smoke for a decade and then have another one um never an

addict really and i think that's because when i was at boarding school i couldn't smoke in the holidays because my parents would have...
