Last week when I was wafting about in Peter Jones, I purchased myself a Roc Microdermabrasion kit. I used it (on my face) for the first time on Sunday evening, and described the joys of exfoliation on Twitter. To my disgust, several "ladies" sent me private messages claiming that the little vibratory appliance from the kit has "other uses". Quite frankly, I am disgusted.

Are there many other appliances that may have alternative uses? A bicycle pump that doubles up as a mini vacuum cleaner perhaps?

I wasn't trying to be rude!


Another example of a product with a surprising alternative use was a book my mother gave me last year for Mothers Day - entitled "365 bible readings for Mothers". One evening when I was desperately waiting for my Ocado delivery, I was forced to shred the text which doubled as an absorbant alternative to cat litter.

Oh dear DM.


Lowering yourself to my base standards.


Disgusting.


Well I've definately heard of the less respectable things a woman has done to herself with a bathroom secret that 'buzzs'. Your 'female emailers' should be warned though about the infamous female guilt that can lead to the physical deterioration of your clopper. It's latin name escapes me but the term' vibration white fanny' has been known to induce a slight discolouration of the downstairs and bring on a pins and needle's like sensation after being subjected to the long term use of heavy snatch plant.


Take care.

The mirror on your compact cracked, ladies?

Simply go to your husband's CD collection and select one he won't be likely to play.

Usually KInda Blue by Miles Davis is there for show rather than for actually listening to.

Take the disc from it's 'jewel' box and you'll see that one side is all shiny and can be pressed into service as a mirror.

But don't let on I told you girls, don't want to be chucked out of the Bloke Club.

OH MY WORD!


It has a 6ft cord and plugs into the mains...


It lookis like some kind of industrial pummeling device for knocking down supporting walls. It is not for everyone darling (gulp). I don't mind wafting about the house in expensive lingerie, looking fabulous for my man. But that thing looks terrifying.


Can I just assure everyone that I am using my ROC device for exfoliation purposes only.

But hey girls, what you do is take the bitten-off fingernails that HE has chewed off and left beside the bed, you know, next to the alarm clock, that's set to Radio 4, but that you would prefer to be set to Jo Good and Paul Ross really, and then you scrape the dirty filth away with the sharp end. Of his fingernails.

And if you give HIM a meaningful look, that means everyting then so much the better.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
