I met Jimmy at the wedding. As I walked nervously up the aisle, he turned and our eyes met for the first time. I knew then that he was the one for me. When I reached the top of the church , he smiled and winked at me as I took my place beside the … Continue reading Jimmy

Heifer
I bought a new dress down the market for my birthday. I liked it at the time but wasn't sure about it when I got it home. I made the mistake of asking Jimmy's opinion...

Baldy
Jimmy is very sensitive about his hairline…or lack of. I’m actually surprised he hasn’t got a comb over like his uncle Albert. One gust of wind and Albert’s locks would trail behind him like a horses mane in the grand national. I’m heading over to the barbers Bernie For what Jimmy? To have me nipple … Continue reading Baldy
Annoying Anto
Jimmy’s brother Anto can be a pain in the arse. I think he only calls over to my house to annoy me. His missus doesn’t let him watch telly or eat junk food. They don't even own a telly. Imagine not owning a telly in this day and age. Geraldine is a very new age … Continue reading Annoying Anto
