Gossip

I imagine the boots took attention away from the head and down to the feet. Good camouflage.

Just rolling around would do that.

Elegran my Fitflops are lace ups.

Are you thinking of flip flops? ?

Oh, yes, that must be it.

Not sure they have the same effect on an old bird. Thigh high boots. Not Fitflops.

I changed banks from Nationwide and switched to the Metro Bank and was treated pretty much the same way as Gabby was in her place, only difference was it was me dunking my biscuit in my coffee.

As for being overweight we shouldn't judge people on how they look, its unkind. We all know people can be overweight for any number of reasons from medical to social, parents who pass on their lifestyle choices to their children and so on. We need education in cooking skills and nutrition in schools and for those leaving the care system.

In Gabby's defence she lives in her own little world and has the compassion gene missing.

Grrrr!! I’m now getting Ferragamo adverts on my Instagram

Well, the usual suspects have well and truly hacked me to bits and rightly so...in their view.
Not content with making a banquet never mind a meal, of my OP, you have judged me as flaunting my 'wealth' when you k ow notbing about my reason for going to the Virgin Lounge indeed I've never set foot in the place before.
I certainly was taken aback at the interior (too blingy for my taste but I don't live there) and the interior and service was what I commented on.
Has no-one on GN commented to friends or family about the cabin and public rooms on a cruise liner? Have you or your AC or GC never posted pics on social media from luxury holidays abroad or lovely restaurants they've visited or special occasion dinners they've been treated to?
You talk about Ferragamo boots as if I paid the earth.
They were bought years ago in Cambridge when I was still working and cost about £250 in a sale.
I mentioned this months ago on a thread to do with, I think, clothes/ shoes.
Many of you post about cruises planned for this year and next, costing hundreds if not thousands of pounds. You also tell of new bathrooms; having a designer draw up plans for a new bedroom for a GD; decorating from top to bottom and buying new furniture and carpets, none of which comes cheap.
It never crosses my mind to think that the poster is 'showing off'.

They are facts, events you are looking forward too yet, if I get pleasure from buying something under £100 or even years ago, £250, I get vilified.
I wonder why.

I do live in a large period property but only in part of it, a 2 bedroom flat, as I've mention months ago elsewhere and it's not mine, I rent it.
I get laughed at for being a cheapskate and shopping in Primark (sweatshops and buying poorly made goods are frequently mentioned in the same comments) but if I mention anything remotely approaching M&S prices or, heaven forbid, my one Sahara foray, then I'm reminded of the homeless, food banks, people on low incomes who struggle blah blah...and given advice in spending less and giving to charity.

I think it's time you looked at yourselves and the things you write because you really have no idea about me. You have several pieces of a jigsaw but you haven' t got the full picture. What you don't know, you are assuming and supposing...and judging.

You carry on, it doesn't affect me in the least. You know full well that I speak my mind and never distance myself from the truth but I don't tell you everything about me.
Knowing what I now know about some posters, to do that would be to give you access to the knife block and I'm not that daft.

BTW, anyone with £25 to save can go any time into a Virgin Lounge anywhere.

Not so posh...eh,?

Enjoy your weekends ???

As for SirChenjin 's comment about me going home and writing about what I saw...isn't that what millions of people do millions of times a day all over the world...you, your AC, GC, GGC?
FB Twitter Instagram WhatsApp are full of it...with photos, the more embarassing the better in lots of cases.
Don't tell me none of you have ever gone home or met a friend and said...'You'll never guess what I saw/ heard today'...
Hypocrites.

janeainsworth, hahaha, me too!

Oh drop the victim act, GG. You do it deliberately. Set the cat among the pigeons and then enjoy the feathers flying.

???
I'm amazed that anyone could ever think I'd be a victim. I'm certainly not one. Never have been and never will be.
Enjoy the sniping. It says everything about you.

Cat, pigeons

I agree Gabriella the usual suspects out in force, and in my view this whole bitchy thread should be deleted.

I went from a size 10 to a 16/18 as I have to take medication.
I for one could not give a shit what Gabriella thinks. Why the f... does she feel the need to comment on other people. I look bloody good in my clothes, have no intention of dieting, and my partner is a good looking athletic man who is not shallow and is not interested in my weight
So Gabbriella I suggest you enjoy your life, stop looking and commenting on other people.

rafichagran
Why do you need to use that sort of language?
F , shit, bloody? no need for that...
Have you never ever commented on anyone at any time in your life?
Not anyone in RL, on tv or in the news?
Wow!!
Kudos ?
Here's an award ??

Only 1 letter B in my name.

I might eat a bag of crisps. I'm starving.

(That to HettyMaud)

Message withdrawn at poster's request.

Gabriella why do you post such nasty things, why do you correct other peoples posts which I have seen you do on other threads when you make so many mistakes yourself?
Don't worry about my language look at yourself. Funnily enough I find you a interesting poster and don't normally take offence at what you write, however I just felt today you could have kept your thoughts about obese people to yourself and not posted it online. I watched the documentary about Jesy Nelson yesterday and the effect it had on her when people commented about her weight and appearance. One of them being the vile Katy Hopkins. She wanted to take her life at one stage.
I don't care what people think of my appearance like I said I am happy with it, but some people are badly affected by this.

Gonegirl you know exactly what I mean by different backgrounds. What pleasure can anyone get from being so very unpleasant as you.

I don't think it's necessary to to talk, or even think, about posters' backgrounds.

Gabriella I didn't even know it was you that had bought the Ferragaro shoes.

What pleasure can anyone get from being so very unpleasant as you.

I'm not sure what I've said on this thread that has been so unpleasanttbh.

Jesy.
Her weight looks fine to me but I can't see her standing up. Never heard of the lady but that's what you get for plastering yourself all over social media.
Her before and after photos show changes to one of her features and it's not done her any favours.
If you're in the public eye you have to be tough as old boots because with fame comes a loss of privacy and that's too high a price for some people.
You can't have it all.

GG .You have no idea how lucky you are and yet you are horrible about people you know nothing about.
I like people who have there own mind but I value a kind heart above all.

Sometimes people are very ill and their medication makes them put on weight plus they can not walk let alone exercise. It breaks their heart to see themselves grow fat and they call themselves ugly though their family do not.
But Gabrielle will call them all kinds of judgements. She will blame them and taunt them and encourage others who should know better to do the same.
Shame on you GG .
Also shame on all all the mealy mouthed ones who say that they would be fat if they did not have such amazing powers of self restraint.
I find Gabrielle offensive. She boasts and pretends not to.
She is unkind and says she is only commenting.
What an example you must be to your DGC !
