I’m so pleased for you

Charming bespoke graphic for memorializing your lovely life?
Or smug interiors version of the boastful Christmas round robin letter?

Answers on an embroidered ‘LOVE’ cushion please.

Oh god I saw this the other day. Hideous and the ‘our story continues’ line is just asking for trouble!

The graphical version of those twee lifestyle engagement shots of the smug couple caught ‘unawares’ having a pillowfight, or spooning organic mayonaise into eachother’s faces. Why not at least go for a more modern, universal experience: ‘a rented home in Tulse Hill (couldn’t afford Dulwich); ikea; our eyes meeting across a crowded house party, hammered; our terrible first date sex; our thirties devoted to demanding jobs; the thousands we spent on ivf; the holidays we missed…’

  Exactly Kate – perfect reply. I was trying to think of what mine would say, and only got as far as ‘the time a rat got trapped under the floor boards…’
  And wedding photos and family portraits are a whole separate post. Visiting lots of homes for work I have been stunned at the enormous photographs some people have of themselves. Even artful naked photos. Astounding!

Oh it’s not.

I love that the only hint of negativity is in ‘ENDURING the camping trip in Cornwall.’ You poor lambs.

Do you think the Hendersons actually exist? Think ‘the crazy summer of 98’ is most irritatingly cliched….unless one of them actually got sectioned?

Mine would feature ‘the seacat trip to France where everyone got covered in everyone else’s vomit’…..

  Yeah I hate those Hendersons too. And word is their ‘crazy summer of 98’ was lame, spent in the Ministry of Sound, chewing asprin. Who do they think they’re fooling?
  Love your website by the way – lucky I don’t have any money or I’d be going crazy myself.
