Well it’s fine as a noun but when it comes to the verb I’ve had objections for decades. I hear it all the time. The last time was when I was on a call complaining to the Royal Mail over my address oddly shifting to another dimension. The customer service creature said she’d ensure that I’d be serviced soon. I had to remind her that only my wife does that after I gave up my youthful Viking ways.

Clearly, the residents of Cardiff, Leicester, and Belfast have never tried to make a beef-based vape. Ignorance truly is bliss on this one.

HMRC admitting that they owe me 3 grand and then actually seeing it in my account this morning.
Definitely a nice bit of news to end the year on.

Having a week off bar all the ordained dying or a bishop being possessed.
So, time to enjoy a few simple pleasures - time to open the cabinets.
These are my favourite drinks due to general taste and the emotional weight they carry for me. Even my winemonger queries some choice but, original Żubrówka is key to me.

Just saying Squirrel, many Jamaicans

Now happily steeping my winter medicinal herbs and spices - No longer a white rum.
I must admit to almost engaging in smashing the neck like Keith Floyd after seeing that it had an annoying American flow restrictor - Having your own bottles nannying you conflicts with the British home = castle principle.

Neither have the residents of Glasgow and Edinburgh bothered to come up with a fried Mars bar-based vape.
You don’t want to know, believe me.
Thanks! 
After discovering last Saturday that I had lost 500 grams of weight in a little over a day and only weight 42.9 kilos, I stopped weighing myself and tried stuffing myself instead. It’s so discouraging to step on that thing and there’s no result.
Same thing for people who want to lose weight.
Today I decided to take a gamble and have a look. 43.8 
I have the protein shakes on top of that since yesterday, so it’ll be fine.
I won’t be fattened up enough to be slaughtered for Christmas, but somehow I think that’s a bonus.

Don’t worry, I’m sure they are crafting a plan to topple America’s deep fried butter.
Bloody hell. Well you are definitely half the woman I am, maybe a third.
Just chose the weight you are most comfortable with and don’t worry. This fat, bald lunatic has had two wives who others say look like models. So, If you want the annoyance of another, there’s always a group waiting for you.
I must admit that shakes and other fads are not for me: If I want juice, I will smash fruit for it myself, rathe than spening £300 on a grumpy box.

These are medically prescribed protein shakes. I’m at least 10 kilos underweight and can barely hold myself up.
My muscles have deteriorated to such an extend that the slightest effort results in a heart that’s beating like I’ve been running a marathon.
I had not even half recovered from the coma I almost slipped into in 2022, when I had to move house.
That resulted in another 5 kilo of weight loss. I can barely hold up the little bit of weight I’m carrying around.
My dog refuses to go outside with me when I kick myself and put my shoes and coat on and get the leash.
She just gets up and disappears up the stairs. Giving a look back at me when she’s half way up. Her way of saying 
you’re not going anywhere in this state.
It’s not a matter of fashion, I couldn’t care less. I only just moved into this house, and if I’m not very careful I’m going to end up on the other side of the road.
So far I like living on this side of the graveyard.

Then we need to get you munching more in order to ensure that you are get healthier each day.
And, I suggest that you share any activity you achieve - I don’t think I’d be wrong in saying that most regulars love your presence here and are happy to encourage you during a trying and draining time.
Recovery can be a complete embuggeration: I still go through pain which most would class as shocking each day and have the fun of my broken brain.

Unfortunately I discovered that my own sister doesn’t feel quite the same about me.
She’s always been rather self-absorbed, shallow and egocentric. That’s nothing new. She’s my sister, so I’ve listened to her endless yapping about herself and her problems for decades.
I haven’t got anything in return really. Unless you count the cards, cups and other trinkets with phrases about the importance of a sister.
She actually became detrimental to my health and is the reason I lost that much weight so fast.
I’ve cut her out of my life, which really makes me smile so we’re back on topic again.

I have completely disavowed and unburdened myself from my mother’s daughter. I would go through hell and beyond for my brother and his family but that individual is not even afforded prayers of protection due to being related to me.
So, I think I may have a parallel understanding of your mother’s daughter.

This is the second of my mother’s daughters that I’m unburdening myself from.
Thank God she didn’t produce anything else!
