Farewell, Loose Women

After almost three weeks off being off sick, I went back to work today. Admittedly, I had to leave an hour earlier than normal as I'm not yet back to full strength but I'm back in the land of the nose-to-grindstone wage slaves. And it was about time too, I fear I was becoming addicted to ITV's Loose Women and that just can't be right.

I agree, I've delved into Loose Women on occasion and really I think it's rather naff...I'm quite partial to lots of gossiping girlies but really the term "loose" is very, well, loosely used with regards to this show. It thinks it's being all daring and naughty e.g. the panel of girlies getting all hot under the colour about John Barrowman (?!) - but really it's not. Besides which, how "loose" can a lunchtime programme on ITV actually be? Not very much atall, as it so happens. Ooooh miaow.

Oh btw, so sorry you were struck down with horrid swine flu and had to endure all that time off. Hope you're feeling much more chipper now, pet.

Glad you've returned to the land of "one day older and deeper in debt".

The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
