Things you used to love are no longer your friends.","content":"<p>This is 40.<\/p><p>1) I cannot do the whole \u2018no make up make up look\u2019 now. I might feel like I\u2019m a natural beauty but in reality I look like a Victorian child with influenza who probably won\u2019t make it through a harsh Winter.<\/p><p>2) Nightclubs are hard work. End of sentence.<\/p><p>3) I can no longer get over a hangover by 11am using only the power of an egg butty and a mug of tea. I now need an IV drip, complete and utter silence and about 72 hours of lying on a propped up cushion like a proper dying person watching nothing more brain testing than a reality show about stupid fat arsed people being stupid and fat arsed in California.<\/p><p>4) Moisturisers do not in fact stop nor even improve fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p><p>5) My hips randomly click sometimes. See also; toes, wrists, knees, unpredictable sharp pains in torso for no apparent reason - leading myself to think \u201coh, this is how it ends then?\u201d.<\/p><p>6) Friends will cancel plans and it will no longer feel disappointing - it will feel fucking DELICIOUS. Night on the sofa with a pizza whilst watching the steely gaze of Paul Hollywood as he goes down on an eclair? Sign me up Papa John!<\/p><p>7) Chin hair.<\/p><p>8)It is forbidden to pass a neighbour washing their car without quipping \u201cWant to do mine next?\u201d. See also; \u201cCan I fit in your suitcase?\u201d and \u201cIt\u2019s muggy isn\u2019t it? Very muggy. Needs a good pour down. That\u2019ll sort it\u201d.<\/p><p>9) What the fuck is Snapchat all about?<\/p><p>10) Things that are my friend; Gaviscon, middle of the night water drinking, a great mattress, exfoliating and naps.<\/p><p>Things that are not my friend; High heels, bread, sitting on the floor, J\u00e4germeister and washing my fanny with anything even slightly scented for fear of a raging unbridled bout of thrush.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/shopbadmomma.com\/product\/classic-logo-sweat-light\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Buy my Bad Momma sweatshirt here!<br \/><\/a><\/p>","urlTitle":"40","url":"\/blog\/40\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/40\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/bad-momma.teemill.com\/blog\/40\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1598387352,"updatedAt":1598387486,"publishedAt":1598387486,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":93035,"name":"Bad Momma"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/MVT1MLFDEqfNdP8ayv7f0boP0JPOaXqJWmw5kegR6gQVULMH.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/MVT1MLFDEqfNdP8ayv7f0boP0JPOaXqJWmw5kegR6gQVULMH.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/MVT1MLFDEqfNdP8ayv7f0boP0JPOaXqJWmw5kegR6gQVULMH.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":null,"metaDescription":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":7051,"title":"Sex Tips","url":"\/blog\/sex-tips\/","urlTitle":"sex-tips","division":93035,"description":"Feel like your sex life has hit a bit of a dull patch with your partner?
