Well what a palava this has been. Alan and I were just discussing the evening news and the next round of football player trading, (not that a lady such as myself is really into soccer but one must play the perfect wifey).
Anyhoo my little sugar plums, today is Shrove Tuesday and the start of Lent. Alan and I are about as Catholic as Chopper Reed is all-round good guy, but we still managed to work ourselves up into a tizzy over our diet sugar, wheat, protein, carb and flavour-free pancakes with lemon juice. Denial and guilt all play a central role in the modern wife’s survival tool-kit so Lent is the perfect time to strengthen these vital skills – think of it as an investment in your future!
Lent is an old-time catholic thing. Basically you give up something you love for 40 days as part of your penance for being an evil rotten person. It sounds great!
So I will be giving up chocolate and sex for Lent. Actually the sex part is just to punish that miserable sod, Alan for actually thinking I enjoy him forcing himself on me once a month! By the way if you haven’t picked up our latest book, ‘Secrets of Lasting Sexual Fulfillment’, please visit our website.
tata for now
