Her face crumbled...... No. It wasn't made of cake. Her face crumpled. Grrr.

But he had quite a few issues with his prostrate and he nearly died because he had blood pressure!

What is this thread all about?

Sparklefizz Thu 23-Feb-23 11:56:31

Fleur and crazyH I was just complaining that the wrong word was used in a book I'm reading.

Auntieflo Love it!

Procrastination Vs Procastration

nightowl Thu 23-Feb-23 12:23:08

Prevaricate instead of procrastinate.

I’m too good at the latter but hopefully don’t do too much of the former.

sodapop Thu 23-Feb-23 16:02:52

Katek Thu 23-Feb-23 17:41:53

crazyH Thu 23-Feb-23 18:27:00

Grammaretto Thu 23-Feb-23 19:21:08
