From Under the Duvet: Shoes, Reviews, Having the Blues, Builders, Babies, Families and Other Calamities – Funny and Personal Observations on Modern Life

From The Other Side of the Story
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted makeup.
Forget the laughs, forget the fights, forget the sex, forget the jealousy. But take off your hat and observe a moment's silence for the legions of unknown tubes of foundation, mascara, eyeliner, blusher and lipstick who died that it might all have been possible. But who died in vain.
