Oooh, also, in line with our Container House Night, tell us about your Regrettable Tattoos!
I have TWO (2) 'tribal' tattoos. One is a tramp stamp on my lower back and the other is a random design that curls around my right boob. I got both of them before I was 22, so I figure that explains my bad choices lmao.
I don’t have regrettable tattoos (two I love) but I’ve had so many regrettable haircuts I’ve lost count. My mother always said the difference between a bad haircut and an okay one is just two weeks (our hair both grows fast) so over the years I’ve run with that theory.
A friend of mine got a tattoo with her daughter who's 17, then her daughter went and got another TERRIBLE tramp stamp by herself. You're not meant to give people under 18 tattoos without parental permission so she reckons that the tattoo people saw her daughter's tattoo that they'd got together and assumed she was over 18 😂 I don't think the tramp stamp is too trag but I can see how as a parent you'd be furious about your child's permanent aesthetic decisions
I love this intro to the Group Chat Collective and feel like I want my group chats to up their game. So far I know that group chats have been great in times of crises, but sometimes you just want some stupid memes and a bitching sesh (using common sense OF COURSE).
Also glad, and not at all surprised, to hear Emily is the best patient on the ward.
I forget to close the app and when opening g my phone in public have been surprised by the opening screen having explicit pictures..... word of warning. Love the suggestion for a distinctive icon.... I once text the firewood guy my weird erotic dream instead of my besty who also starts with an f.... prolly made his day. Can't buy foreword from him ever again though!
Thanks to The Collective ♥️♥️🤘🏼 no tattoos yet, I was going to get my first one last year when my son turned 21, alas, we haven’t agreed on a matching one or organised a date. Maybe this year when I turn 50??
I’ve been invited to a group chat recently, I don’t know the women too well but the blondes mountain bike together, and the group is to plan getaways while the guys ride (and hopefully don’t munt themselves). First escape is after Easter, wish me luck!! I know some of them are a bit 😬😬 it will be ok, I’ll bring my bike in case it gets too “girlie” for me.
Get well Em, we love you no end and are here for you.
Now I’m re-reading my comment, and a few zombie thumbs errors have come up: when I say “the blondes mountain bike together “ I meant the *blokes 🤦🏻♀️. But it seems like you got the gist. Another great quality of a group chat 💕💕
Am I the only one wondering which government minister someone had an erotic dream about? Because that seems way too specific to be a made up example...
I love a good group chat and I love your group chat hints! I feel like mine need to up their game. We have a good "baby chat" group that started when we were pregnant together but now they are 5 has evolved away from parenting chat and into... Everything else. I do love the idea of a group chat getaway...
Absolutely not, so long as you and your Girlies (gender neutral) all know how to use the same messaging programme! We use Whatsapp but FB Messenger works as do a bunch of other free online chat programmes. Ask your local Millennial if you need a suggestion! -Tam
Hugs Emily!! Also, how did the Piss Shark come about? Did I miss something vital? I also promise to download a Rumspringa book by the time you get out, AND! Find something to download it too. Love you and your Collective. Xxxx

I only have one tattoo and I love it, was talked into it by my daughter (Kate) and we got matching botanical daisies on my 60th 🥰
Omg that's SO CUTE! I love this. I wish my mum would get a tattoo with me!
-Tam
It gets even cuter. I carried daises in my wedding bouquet which is why Kate suggested it! 🤣
😍😍😍
Does it count that my Mum 1000% regrets my tattoos? :-p

This story made my day tbh. Thank you

Am I the only one wondering which government minister someone had an erotic dream about? Because that seems way too specific to be a made up example...
Surely the only govt minister worth having an erotic dream about is James Shaw? Or Kiri Allen? Surely... just me? 🤦♀️😂
That bit was inspired by Andrew "Justice Daddy" Little!
Petition for regular guest slot from Tam plz
Glad to see that Emily is on the mend. Could someone explain about the Piss Shark? Is it something I missed in an earlier newsletter?
Piss Shark was from this FNC! https://emilywrites.substack.com/p/fnc-pee-shark-live-music-and-votes
It's the Greenland Shark that can live for hundreds of years and its body is full of urea.
I totally missed piss shark too and delighted for the explanation. How could I have missed this!!!?????

omg when a group chat getaway actually HAPPENS instead of just being vaguely planned, it's so good.
Love this but also wondering whether I am too old to ever be part of a Girlie Group Chat!!

Thanks Tam - just need to find some members who can be as funny and outrageous as you lot!!!
Same here - I can definitely do with some more outrageous people & chats in my life
Never to old for a good group chat!
Hugs Emily!! Also, how did the Piss Shark come about? Did I miss something vital? I also promise to download a Rumspringa book by the time you get out, AND! Find something to download it too. Love you and your Collective. Xxxx
Take it slowly Emily. Hope you are continuing to mend.
I need to find some better group chats 🤣 and 💯 yes to just accepting that you'll never find a weekend when everyone is free 😅😅
