calamity jenn.

I think because it's been quite busy this week and I had to concentrate a lot yesterday my brain is shot for work today, I'm just flitting between things achieving things but not the things I want to achieve. Just all over the place.

Also obvs it’s not as bad as Layton but like. The way Strictly and It Takes Two have to regularly ask contestants like, “and the people spewing abuse at you on the internet, how do you feel about that?”

Like, what a toxic fanbase.

My immigration officer looking around at all the books and sparkly things and cleaning products they’ve somehow purchased themselves based on my enthusiastic recommendations like “…….?” because I am remarkably good at making you guys get things??

Also they love Grogu now and are baffled.

Nikita finally has a London date on his sparkle dance tour but it’s too rich for my blood 💸

I want my cleaning shit!

I agree, her books have brought so much delight

It’s really sad

I’ve lived my whole life on a financial knife-edge so her shopaholic books were too stressful for me, but I’ve read several of her standalone romances and absolutely adored them. Just the right kind of bonkers escapism.

Sophie Kinsella: Author of Shopaholic series of novels dies aged 55 - BBC News The author of the Shopaholic series of novels had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer.

This makes me really sad. Her books have brought me a lot of joy and when I met her at a book festival and gushed at her a bit she was so kind, humble and thoughtful.

Evri have not delivered my parcel of actually allowed cleaning products despite them telling me they have 🔪

Horrible issue arisen at work, not our fault but going to be potentially messy. I flagged it with the bosses and am now in charge of data collection for the higher up people trying to fix it.

Torn between feeling cool and proactive, and being like, I don’t want this to be happening, make it stop

Having complicated thoughts about Mat Willis as the next Emcee?

I tried to think of a few ways and mostly ended up thinking about how awkward the laundry would be.

Very pleased with my Hercules outfit

Mum: “Megara wasn’t wearing enough eyeliner.”

Me: “We were in the balcony, we couldn’t see her eyeliner!”

Mum: “If she was wearing enough eyeliner, we would have been able to see it.”

Even better tbhhh

It was “why aren’t they using their hockey uniforms for sex” wasn’t it, which was somehow worse??

😂 I can’t say what kind it was he wanted - for all we know he just wanted some normal antiperspirant!

Hercules has overall good performers, gorgeous costumes that I covet, a camp villain having a better time than everyone else, enormous set pieces, fancy props and puppetry, and good songs from the movie (and some fillers) and it does not work. Just. Doesn’t work.

I think you’ll both have fun! It’s very glitzy and huge.

This is going to be my entire personality going forward

I’m having a lot of fun but I personally wouldn’t recommend paying a lot for it?

It’s very shiny!

Worf (Star Trek) on a Dwarf (Gimli from Lord of the Rings).

you’ve definitely heard of elf on the shelf but are you ready for

I think Hercules might be so bad it comes back out the other side, I’m having a lot of fun but I suspect it’s not at all good.

It is also the most 90s thing I’ve seen all year and I saw Clueless 25 times

In my extremely thrifty Hercules balcony seats ✌️

New lipstick! ColourPop Malibu Barbie, thanks Vinted

I don’t make Christmas lists because I don’t have a family who will buy me things but imagine my wish list just being washing up liquid

There’s an annoyed mum on the train telling her teenage son: “there’s nothing on your Christmas list except deodorant!”

I like the paintings on the bottles but no one should be drinking that Mystery Fluid
