Newsletter 1: 12 July 2005

Hello My Lovely Friends

I was bouncing along with my ‘very first’ Newsletter when, low and behold, I pressed delete. After all, there is nothing more important to me than my sadness regarding last week’s disaster in London.

Just days after the Live8 concert in Hyde Park and the national plea to pay off Third World Debt Britain is rewarded with a few blasts in the hub of the same capital. Ironic isn’t it - that evil seems to follow good, and it’s true that wickedness hides in dark corners, preying on celebrations of good will such as this; not to mention the Olympic Games that will have a wonderful impact on the youth of suburbia.

What is the point of killing innocent people? It can’t be in the name of religion as aren’t the fundamental rules of any faith to some extent the same? For instance, treat others with respect and always love those around you?

I won’t harp on for too long, as terrorists are not worthy of debate or discussion. They speak with actions; actions that have left thousands of people all over the world, without a family member, friend or loved one, or indeed all of these.

For suicide bombers to be regarded as heroes, I beg to question this. For example, take a terminally ill person struggling for just a day longer or those helplessly watching their loved ones fight for their lives with every single breath of air. These are the real heroes.

Never take life for granted: cherish it and send a smile where you can. Nature has its own way of creating misfortunate circumstances, so why do some people want to create yet more death and chaos?

No politician or world leader will be able to please all of the people all of the time and on many occasions I have felt let down by politics in general. But that is something that will never change although debates and world summits will always be held and progress is ‘eventually’ made. We have to trust the experts, as without leaders we would be headless chickens unable to defend ourselves.

My praise (as I am sure yours does too) goes out to all of the emergency teams/medical services that assisted so well with this sudden attack on the UK. Also my thoughts to go to ALL Muslims (many of which are very good friends of mine) that have no part in these terrorist attacks. All are just as likely to be victims, leading ordinary day to day lives with the rest of us, and we must not forget that.

Only a joining of good will can change the way large organisations come to their decisions. Isn’t it a pity that there are those minority groups that think otherwise?

Right... ENOUGH ... I have got that off my chest so I will carry on with my usual waffle.

WAFFLE

Hello to everybody who has visited my site. (AT THIS POINT - GIVE YOURSELF A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!!!)

I really am thrilled to hear from each and every one of you. It actually makes my day, mishaps and all seem far less depressing knowing that there are other bumbles out there too!!!

I do like to think that I write for ordinary people, nice people and nutty people as to me these three categories are simply the best.

So here I am just two weeks after my tummy tuck. Still a little sore but then a friend of mine sent me a hilarious photo that sort of cheered me up. Here it is.

post tummy tuck

It’s amazing what we find on the Internet. I don’t know whether digital cameras are a blessing or a curse (but we wont go into that :O).

Thank you to this person for giving us a giggle and we all know that none of us are perfect so please drop by and say hi if you stumble across yourself on here and of course, thank you to Florentina for this work of art - keep it coming, chick!

Whilst we are on the subject. Here is another gem sent my way. This rather tickled me and I can honestly relate to this lady. Go for it love!!

You’re never too old to get em out...!!!

fab!

Isn’t she just F-A-B?

Still keeping it light hearted, I have to share a few jokes with you sent to me by another visitor to my site. He wants to be known as Moldwarp. Good name, different and wacky. Hello Moldwarp!!! And a big THANK YOU for your comedy.

Time to put your feet up and have a giggle at some of my favourites - click and read

Newsletter 2: 4 August 2005

'Ello Very Nice People!

Well what a month.

It’s nearing the end of July and I have just received a call from a good friend who lives in Kings Heath, Birmingham. Low and behold a small tornado has struck, which has taken the back off several houses, tearing down others in his nearby bustling village of Moseley. The strength of the spiralling gust has additionally devastated much of the main High Street.

Seems like the weather is getting angry, maybe due to these dreadful bombings and alerts that are playing against nature’s natural course!

'What a beautiful planet we have - such culture, such nature - why spoil it?'

Yet, slowly it is been torn apart by mankind himself. Get a grip, you guys, and let's all grow up and nurture our time here, not fight against it PLEASE!

Nature is quite capable of creating its own devastation without the help of murderers of all creeds on a world wide level. (Just had small panic attack ... not really).

Boy, what an age we are living in. However, we are glad to hear that the IRA are throwing down their weapons. May peace finally reach Northern Ireland for ALL who reside there. I have friends from Northern Ireland that I met on holiday in Blackpool and they were marvellous company; they knew how to take their drink and tell a joke, before taking the dance floor or karaoke competition! ROCK ON ... (I tried my best to keep up and so did my liver)!

Anyway back to Kings Heath/Moseley - I was further saddened to hear that some people are looting the damaged buildings for what they can find, before my friend’s very eyes! The police have been alerted so I guess it will soon be under control. Hard to comprehend all of this is happening as I sit here writing to 'My Very Nice People' just half an hour’s drive from the tornado's target here in the quiet town of Warwick.

Sorry, Kings Heath and Moseley, to hear of your mayhem. It is actually getting very windy here so I hope that I get to finish this newsletter if I am about to be taken away by a twister!

Now bringing you back down to earth with a bang, I am going to fill you in on my trials and trivialities, please do try and stay awake, I won’t take long. Or ... ok, pause here and go and get yourself a cuppa or pour yourself something stronger, put on a good CD. Lets all chill out now ...

Some minutes later ...

Hi, you're back, me too; I have a cold glass of dry white wine, playing a bit of Joss Stone. Well, actually I am biased as if you refer to 'My Latest Secrets' on www.teefoley.com. You can see a photo of Joss Stone and me taken in Times Square (New York).

She really is a lovely person, not at all pretentious and she radiates the most gorgeous energy. This reflects in her stage performances, often bare footed and her face beaming. You can see that she is singing straight from within. I have to say it will be hard for anything to beat this highlight of 2005 for me. Thank you Joss, I HAVE MET YOU AND YOU ARE FAB-U-LOUS!

However, I want to have a passionate love affair with James Blunt - his new CD ‘Back to Bedlam’ is a must. I have even joined his online fan club. Really I have, but so far he hasn't replied to my request. Will keep you posted on that one my friends :O( ha-ha!

Also check out 'Girls Night Out' featured on my secrets page on the website - it’s a bit cheesy, but all good fun!!

And ... coming soon - my funniest article yet. I bring you news to incorporate my self-reward! I have had my belly button pierced; it's a gorgeous pink sparkly stone - well, why not? My tummy needed a treat, having suffered a successful tummy tuck. However, I won't be showing you any photos until I return from Bulgaria next month, so hold your breath. Oh yeah, all will unfold. Natalie and I (alias 'Sophie' in Tee's diaries) are leaving our children with doting grandparents for warmer weather and some Bulgarian culture.

I will probably spend the entire week feeling incredibly guilty for this - while they won’t miss me at all and I will return to the grind wondering why I spent my time in Eastern Europe foreboding! Ain’t that always the way? Oh the joy of guilty sins ... i.e. having a break!

I have received some absolutely fantastic mail from so many of you. I do reply personally to each and every one, but often in haste. This is because I work so hard to provide the site and also my newsletters with as much as I can so you can enjoy your time reading.

I have heard from a lovely man who lives in North Wales. He is a retired wood turner. You know when somebody says something short and sweet and you never forget it, well read this sentence enclosed in his mail.

'I am not a writer like yourself but I like to think that I can make things from wood that give others years of pleasure.'

How nice is that. Thank you for your lovely comments Stuart.

It was also great to hear from Elsie who sent me a link to her son's website, he lives in Switzerland. He has a keenness for fairies. Bless him, well why not? Here is the link, take a peep and tell him Elsie sent you along to say hi!

www.fairydome.com

Then Joe Louie made me absolutely howl. You have to check this one out. It is an Italian advertisement with a twist, quite literally. Joe reminds us we must click on Apri to see the finale!!

http://www.cartoline.it/pics/_zoom_flash.htm?immagine=scherzi_150404_01.swf

It is also great to hear from Artic Wolf from Lancashire, who is a spiritual healer claiming my site brightens his day! Thank you ever so much Artic Fox and please keep visiting the site. I love happy people.

Okay, here we go back to NYC. This is a photo my lovely friend Simon took for me whilst he celebrated his 30th Birthday in Manhattan. It made me feel really important... (First time for everything I guess)!

Also to Linda who has sent me a couple of really heart felt mails that have brightened my day. Linda, keep it up chick and I am glad you enjoyed The Whinger from Bad Dates! (One of my favourites too, Linda.)

And Liz, I loved the poem. Read Liz's cute poem found on the site under Bits ‘n’ Bobs from Very Nice People. But we want more, so come on you lot; send me your bits ‘n’ bobs.

Finally, I must say hello to Joei Flanagan in NYC. I am coming to visit you soon my dear friend. More about Joei later on. Let's just say she is a slightly older version of Tee Foley, but maybe even wilder, but is useless at typing! Watch out New York coz we are coming to get you!

For an extended version of forthcoming newsletters, together with updates of new material coming to the site please join 'The Very Nice People Club.'

Newsletter 3: 8 September 2005

'Ello Very Nice People!

It’s Friday evening, 9.30pm and I am taking a well-earned break from my bedroom blitz!

Long story - basically I have decided to move house, buy something smaller and start on the property ladder (again) as I have spent nearly two years day dreaming and haven’t made much progress with my bank account! So it’s time to get my botty into gear and rekindle my former pastime - renovation. Good-bye fingernails and hello overalls.

‘Would you like ice and in your sherry Miss Babs.’ (Good old Acorn Antiques!).

Five years ago, I bought this place from new, haven’t had to do anything to it, but somehow I haven’t really settled in. With my eldest son now in his own pad and my youngest seldom home, I don’t need three bedrooms and a lounge/dining area that just collects dust. Ornaments, yuck, I used to be so soppy, but now I regard all worthless artefacts as clutter. So I have thrown most of my trash onto the skip and enjoyed hearing it shatter on landing. Feng Shui - goodbye past and hello future!

All of my memories (for better & worse) are saved in the way of photographs and I have thousands. Blimey was it weird taking a trip back through my head. In some pictures I was pregnant, others completely off my face and then there were ones of me in other countries, holidays I had forgotten ... eek!

Right from blonde, to red then brunette … back to long after short curls. Various shapes and sizes. Friends gone by, friends passed by. Pets once with me, new ones now. I guess we all change daily but it is our photographs that show us how drastically this can happen?

So right now, I find myself surrounded by bin bags full of my past that will soon be on the end of a digger. Broken lipsticks, flaking eyeshades, multi coloured panty hose and a selection of boob tubes, block heels and worn out T Shirts; not to mention bits of paper covered in random sayings & poems. Odd shoes and socks. (Where did the complete pairs go?)

Ancient birthday cards, crackly Christmas paper (that I thought I could use again.) and finally an assortment of teddy bears that have faded with age and smell of lavender from my cupboard. (Tee loves lavender).

Had a few sniffs when I found some old Mother's Day cards with gorgeous verses. Why do they have to stop? Now they are gags about my age or love of wine and chocolate?

Thrilled to bits that my youngest boy (gorgeous baby face) can now boast 7 As + 2 Bs. Well done darling. Tried to do a photo shoot on his first day back to school (6th form) - boy did he look good in a suit, sadly he wasn’t too willing to pose!

Max, oh yes, my new boy. Max is a rescue dog aged approx 5 years. A black cross Labrador and he is fab-u-lous. Inky approves and now the three of us share my double bed. I am completely smitten by my gorgeous fluffy friends.

However, he does humongous poos compared to Inky’s tiny ones. I have to keep a good supply of nappy sacks in my pocket as he seems to enjoy the centre of playing areas and prime locations such as outside the Co-Op. don’t dogs look funny when they are bent in plopping position? Almost ecstatic as their muscles spasm as their bottoms expand and out pops a steaming mess. In Max’s case it could be mistaken for that of an elephant. Pets can be so uncouth, but the lovely thing is it is not their intention.

My new addition can also open doors, I discovered this when he arrived at my place of work and howled at the foot of the stairs. On taking him home I locked all of my doors and slid the patio window shut. As I scampered back to my office, I heard the catch close, yes; Max had locked me out, so this resulted in me having to call a friend to let me back into my own home.

I don’t think he believed me as I explained that the dog had escaped, found me at work and then locked me out.

Max also insists on getting out of the car first, that is, as I am hurriedly trying to remove the keys from the ignition. He is 33 kilos! Landing on my lap with force I am now permanently bruised and each time we visit the park the car door opens and the three of us fall out together. Inky usually gets squashed in the process. It is most embarrassing. Especially today when I saw a gorgeous guy with his woof.

You know when somebody catches your attention. He was disabled, very attractive; I felt he had been in some kind of accident. I admired his determination getting out of his car, erecting his wheelchair and managing to control his dog all that the same time. Put me to shame as I pulled up beside him, and my car door thudded against his - as I and two mad dogs thudded towards the ground. I did catch him smirk to himself.

‘Hello,’ I said noticing his gorgeous tanned arms and big blue eyes. He looked incredibly fit and toned although his legs were clearly not of use to him. He shot off on two wheels whilst I tried to untangle myself from the leash around my ankle. He was yummy!

I made a note of the time: 1.30 pm, so am returning tomorrow in hope this maybe his daily ‘walk the woof’ hour. I reckon I should drop my business card by his feet (of course quite by accident) as I fancy him.

And you never know, if he visits my site, he may subscribe to my Newsletter and then he will know that I would love to see more of him and his black and white spotty dog.

Still jabbering on…

As you probably know I visited Bulgaria during August, I won't bore you too much with the ins and outs, as there is going to be a full feature on the site so keep dropping by! Also a few more diary entries. I am the ashamed owner of an entire year’s mayhem in 30 adventure-packed chapters; Garry and I will be putting it on the net for you all to snigger at.

Talking of which. Hi Garry – WELCOME BACK CHICK from all of us at The Very Nice People Club! Garry has just returned from Torremolinos with his wife and children. Poor dear, I have still bombarded him with tasks on his absence, despite his well-earned break. Last time he took time off, I blocked his mailbox.

It has been fantastic to receive your many competition entries. Please see the main site for details. Basically, we are looking for no more than 500 words on how you would spend an extra 2 hours of stolen time. This would be your own very special time when anything could happen; all of your dreams could come true. What would you do with this time?

It can be in the form of a poem, adventure, fantasy, abstract. Absolutely anything that takes you on a journey of the mind, so please keep your entries flowing. A trip to another planet maybe? Or should you become invisible?

Competition ends on the newly extended date of 20th September 2005, so you have more time to get your paws typing. Do not worry about grammar etc; I don’t, as you can see! We will do all that stuff for you. There will be prizes for the best three submissions. It really is great to hear from you all and a big thanks to Gemma for giving us her time too!

Anyway, a terrible smell has just floated past my nose so I think the dogs' dinners are fully digested and they are ready to be walked.

Nappy sacks at the ready, strong enough for elephants!

Ta-ra for now, my dears, and please keep registering. My new library for fully subscribed members of The Very Nice People Club is almost ready and it sparkles like crazy so please reserve your place online. And thank you to all of those who have!

All Welcome and yes go on… tell all of your friends to drop by the site. Oh go on… pretty please….

I would like to dedicate this newsletter to my dear friend Diana Coles who died tragically on the 3rd August 2005 aged 36. Sweet Dreams Diana from Kay &Tee. X

Newsletter 4: 4 October 2005.

Dear Very Nice People

And how was September for you? Ready for Christmas yet?

Well I certainly am not; in fact I don’t know whether I will bother too much this year.

I like my own company but being single at Christmas isn’t so cool, as every ‘in love’ person seems to pop up out of the ground and walk around in matching scarves.

Shops are full of sentimental clutter and cards with gorgeous verses that make me cry.

Mental note: send myself several of these.

The VNP club will be receiving my three-part instalment of Being Single at Christmas, so cheer up as ‘Being Single at Christmas’ is a series full of hilarious anecdotes and remedies for all to relate to! Let your mailbox deliver you nice times & escapism with Tee Foley.

Good to hear from the Go Granny team www.gogrannygo.co.uk still being barmy whilst trying to raise heaps of money for Christie’s Cancer Research fund! And I am pleased to see that they are up to £18,995 but there’s a long way to go, so even if you’re too tight to keep me online drop by the site and click through the pages: it’s well worth at least £1.00 - Bless em! They have a fabulous website and I applaud the hours of thought and entertainment the grannies provide to help those suffering with cancer.

And here’s what their site has to say about their most recent escapade!

“Jungfrau Mountain Marathon

None of the other 4000 or so runners, nor any of the thousands of spectators, were expecting a group of elderly 'ladies' to be competing with them in one of Europe's toughest marathons.

The 26-mile course gently climbed for the first 15 miles through the stunning Lauterbrunnen valley, before a brutal ascent to Wengen. Then it was even steeper upwards and onwards to eventually finish at Kliene Schiedag, at 2205 metres above sea level and in the shadow of the north face of the Eiger.

Full story and pictures coming soon from the grannies ! xxx”

And whilst I am being all mawkish, a big thanks to Garry Pierrepont who spends hours constructing the tee foley website. I pay him what I can. But we both know www.teefoley.com will get there in the end. And for every registration Garry gets 15%! 5% goes to charity and the rest goes back into the teefoley project that I hope to expand soon!

Which brings me to my second piece of news. As you know I am selling my home to fund my passion for writing, therefore moving back down the property ladder. Hopefully I will have news of an offer this coming week so fingers crossed. Sadly, whatever I buy will need so much work that my son, two dogs & I will have to go into rented accommodation for a while. So I am just hoping that I can find a landlord who will accept dogs, as there is no way I am giving up my pets!

Talking of which you will be glad to hear that the VNP club is about to launch The Pet’s Gallery. Basically send me tee@teefoley.com a cute photo of your pet (please no husbands! ha-ha), and a little about why you love your creature so much. And we will put your treasure into our creature gallery. The most gorgeous photo will win a prize for your pet!

This is Mogwai. He is my friend’s cat who was found having been run over and badly injured. Nobody came to the vets to claim Mogwai,so rather than be destroyed my friend Marie, took him home and now he is doing just fine!

Also this month, the best recipe competition, where YOU will be the judges. Basically my challenge is: you construct a meal for four with just £5. (If there’s just one or two of you, still cook for four and freeze the rest or spoil your pets!)

Send your recipe and break down costs of your shopping bill to tee@teefoley.com together with a photo of your gorgeous creation! I’m really looking forward to this one!

The winner will receive a goodie bag!

So come on, get joining the VNP club, where, for 12 months - you will see ALL of my diary listings and the entire Bad Date collection with new work being added weekly! And lots of opportunities to contribute your thoughts and photos!

Finally and most overwhelmingly, the gorgeous News Editor – Daniel Bruce, invited me to ‘Bear Radio’ www.thebear.co.uk for an interview!

The Bear have very kindly offered to support my quest to remain online, by telling Warwickshire about my site and The Very Nice People Club!

Thank you ever so much boys!

And here is a photo of the hot n’ sexy Trevor Thomas. You can hear Thomas each Saturday on ‘102 The Bear’ performing his dynamic Saturday mix and for more information– please visit the site.

Anyway that’s a stomach full of me until next month.

See you in The Club my dears.

Thought for the day…

I wonder why it is, when you buy a handbag, a pair of shoes or a purse, you get a little packet of silicone inside? I also wonder if these goods would be cheaper without the silicone and then I wouldn’t have to buy inferior brand baked beans. Or maybe I just shouldn’t have bought the handbag?

Anyway, I know what I’ll do. I will start a diet, I will write down what I am going to eat for the following week and also - look on the Internet to see if there is a low calorie wine?

Things to do:

Newsletter 5: 15 November 2005

Hello Everyone!

Sorry it has been a while since my last newsletter. But hey, have I been busy or what!

Some nice things, some horrid and, some mundane tasks, like walking the dogs in the rain and mud, then having to keep my house spotless for random viewings.

So, My Dears - where do I begin?

Here goes, I had to a back to my roots day.

Yes, I decided to take a ride back into Birmingham, a small town named Acocks Green, where my Great Grandma Foley used to live. Anyone heard of it?

Initially I thought it hadn’t altered but then I realised that there weren’t as many people on bicycles, more litter on the streets and nobody seemed to be smiling. Or perhaps, when we are children we see everything through rose tinted spectacles?

Nice thought: Wouldn’t it be fabulous if we could wear them forever?

I guess now I am 40 I am wondering whether I ought to labour on acting my age or still battle against saggy bits and the dirty old men I seem to attract in bars YUCK!! You know the sort, smile and he thinks he’s in for the night; scowl and he wants an argument; turn your back and he pinches your bum – dirty old men, I hate them – and girls, have you noticed these types hang out in dark corners and never buy you a drink. They seem to appear 10 minutes before closing time?

A lot of you write to me asking why I am single. Sorry, it’s not a conscious decision, I do have some lovely male friends, but where as in the past my heart as taken my mind from my objectives, now I am JUST my objectives and for a while I am concentrating on me and my future...

But then we can all be swept off our feet so... More to come.

Also, the last relationship I had was with a very irresponsible man and I rather foolishly agreed to sign for his mobile phone contract - you know the stupid things we do when our rose tinted specs land on our noses with super glue holding them in place.

(The beginning of relationships when we believe and hear only what we want to. Aren’t we plonkers?)

Well yes, for a short while I succumbed, he part ran a restaurant and I had drank too many vinos, so it was beer goggles for me too! I realised it was a waste of time when I discovered that whilst I had Frosties for breakfast he gulped on strong cider, and it didn’t help that my friends said he resembled Golem (but much uglier.)

Months down the line I am still paying for the phone as it was caught in into a 12-month contract and he even took it abroad! Thank you for that, you moron. Then, to top it all, my ex-husband decided some time last year to stop paying me £65 pounds a week towards my sons’ upkeep and despite the fact he has two more years at school I am also in debt for this as I don’t check my bank statements. But decided to last week as I wondered why I was several hundred pounds in the red.

Fortunately I have a solicitor to sort these things out (at a further cost) and she will get fairness in the end, but it just doesn’t seem fair right now? But what a pity affairs should amount to financial hardship or just too many lies from fruit cakes.

2005 will be the year that almost everybody ripped me off (yes, there is more but it would take another book to tell you). 2006 will be the year when I work very hard to pay myself back the money that I stupidly entrusted to others….

While on the subject, sorry to everybody who worked so hard to keep Kwickee.com alive and what a shame that they were so misled by the chairman. Let’s hope the team put something wonderful back together. You have my full support, all of you who want to write and unite keep checking my newsletters and I will let you know as soon as I know about the new venture that’s in the pipeline.

Nice thought: Bad people make us better inside as they teach us how not to be. Also, they help us to appreciate our real friends even more.

Regretful to waffle, but does this help you to understand why relationships aren’t that crucial to me right now?

On a more positive note thank you my dear friend arctic wolf for your link to a lovely site. Check out www.duirwaighgallery.com/ thank you Mr Wolf!

Some great mails from Anne Vasey. More to come from Anne and thank you. Also thank you Delphange for getting in touch and to everybody else who has contacted me this last month: THANK YOU, and hello to Alana Hewins and my fabulous friend Simon www.bluesatsuma.com and big congratulations to Mark Ball of FierceTV.com for his recent award as small business director of the year and over all winner of director of the year Nice to see a real person get due merit, fabulous news my dear...

A massive hug to all at www.bear.co.uk Keep up the fantastic music and remember all of you, you can tune in via the above link, wherever you live.

www.Emergingrealestate.co.uk: hi guys and no I don’t want any more properties, ha-ha. Yes, I have invested in sunny Bulgaria but fortunately don’t have to pay until 2007. A good investment for those who want to prepare for the future so why don’t you reserve one at Nessebar Fort next to mine and then we can be holiday buddies!

Right, here is the good news. My career has quite by chance gone in a different direction for a while. So take a look at www.rusticrush.co.uk here you will see my more serious side and please tell me what you think. And if you visit the Sunday market in Leamington Spa, come and buy a picture, or just a cup of tea would be nice…

If anybody lives locally to me please drop by to All Saints Church on The Parade in Leamington Spa on the 18th November from 7.30 till 9pm. Terry Waite will be there giving a speech for the homeless and 50% of all art purchases will go directly to the homeless and 50% to the artist. Will let you know how it went in my next newsletter!

And a great hello to the LSA (Leamington Studio Artists) for whom I will be featuring on this site and on rusticrush.co.uk Some fabulous material from these people that I want the world to see! Also check out www.beautilicious.com and meet Sabine the genius!

Ok, time for me to go now as I won’t flannel on here for much longer, please keep subscribing, there is loads to put on the site but we have to afford the luxury of giving you guys a good read so please join up, and join up soon you miserable lot!!

New competition coming soon. Imagine you visit earth for the first time, just for an hour. You return to Planet Zonk and have to describe human beings. What would you say in 1000 words?

How would you perceive earthlings? What exactly happened in that hour? Come on – the winner and runners up get a Christmas bag full of goodies…

Much love Tee Foley x

PS isn’t Madonna’s new song and amazing new look wonderful and if you haven’t watched Sean of The Dead, you must, it is so sordidly funny.
