not watched Q for a few months now, due to family crises*, the call of the garden and latterly 3 weeks in Florida for Christmas shopping 
mysmilie_8:yay!!).
Put it on as background this morning while doing some jobs in the living room. Chloe is on. I'd almost forgotten the amount of hyperbole (polite word for b@ll@ck$) she spouts. Tortuous descriptions, poor grammar, over-use of superlatives, all in a loud shouty voice.
Andrew Bagley is on at the mo and is almost as bad - I can't believe that every one of his claims is completely true, surely any skin product that gives such marvellous results would be priced out of our reach and sold only in presteeegious stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nicks ?
*family crises - Mum admitted to hospital in June with suspected heart attack, then developed pulmonary embolism, pneumonia and aggressive UTI. Discharged with oxygen, 20 pills a day, 3 inhalers and carers in July. She was 90 yesterday bless her and wants a 2014 diary for Christmas so she's not planning on going anywhere soon !
Niece of 19 got STI, got pregnant, boyfriend sentenced for drug use and has a "tag" round his ankle so can't stay out after curfew. Her dad/my brother is devastated. Anyway the baby was born 8 days ago and he is gorgeous. He's visiting me next Sunday, it will be like a nativity scene !
Oldest nephew revealed £000's in debt - his mum/my sister upset, needed to raise money to pay it off for him. Middle nephew bought his first flat and kind auntie (me) takes him shopping to buy everything he needed except bed and settee.
Brother's new puppy fell down stairs and broke his jaw, now sporting a brace screwed into the bone to hold it together, plus "lampshade" round his neck. Brother very upset. Luckily their other dog is cleaning the pup's bottom etc, saves my brother a nasty job ! Brother's girlfriends 19 y/o daughter told her mum she's gay, days before leaving for Oz on her gap year.
Neighbour and good friend lost her cousin (as close as a sister) and cousin's husband to cancer within 3 months of each other. She has been distraught and had a weep several times when with me. Friends across the road split and getting divorced, forced to sell the house. Their 2 children - 6 and 8 are bewildered.
No wonder I needed a holiday !
