She asks her mum if she can stay here because her dad is a soft-touch. When she is here, she stays out all night and he doesn’t say a word. She has now asked for a key so she can drop in as she pleases. She already turns up at all hours but at least she has to knock on the door.

Woman accidentally gets the most hilariously unfortunate pre-Covid tattoo – and has had to hide it for a year
BEFORE committing to a tattoo, most people spend months (if not, YEARS) agonising over their design - after all, it's going to be on your body forever . One person who knows a little something about this is 25-year-old Leah Holland - who waited two years to get a very personal quote tattooed on her arm. In a viral TikTok video , Leah explained how she got the questionable tattoo on 4 March 2020 - just two days before Kentucky had its first case of coronavirus . The inking on Leah's forearm reads: "Courageously and radically, refuse to wear a mask." "It basically means being true to yourself and real," she said. "And not pretending to be something you're not." She told Buzzfeed News: "Basically I had a friend that said this quote about me. "We were just talking about things that we really admire about the other person, and he said, 'You courageously and radically refuse to wear a mask.'" Although she was chuffed with the inking at first, little did Leah … [Read more...] about Woman accidentally gets the most hilariously unfortunate pre-Covid tattoo – and has had to hide it for a year

Covid vaccines available in GP surgeries TODAY – all you need to know about getting yours
COVID vaccines will be available from GP surgeries from today - as the race to protect Brits from the virus is ramped up. The Oxford/AstraZeneca jab can be stored at fridge temperatures making it easier to administer, unlike the Pfizer jab which requires storage at -70C. It's hoped more than 700 GP surgeries will be delivering vaccines by the end of the week - after the UK recorded the highest daily death toll since April. The UK reported a further 1,041 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of Wednesday. Record numbers are also currently in hospital with coronavirus, with a further 3,500 admitted in England on Monday. Some 1.3 million people have already received either the Pfizer/BioNTech or Oxford/AstraZeneca jab. And millions of extra Covid vaccines could be ready within weeks as approval times for fresh batches are slashed to just five days.

Traveller mum throws daughter, 10, a party so she can meet a husband – and is fine with her getting pregnant at 14 too
A TRAVELLER mum has thrown her 10-year-old daughter a party so that she can meet her future husband. Lee Ann, from Philadelphia, brought shame upon her family when she married non-traveller Joe and is now trying to get back in their good books with daughter Mary. The mum is keen for her daughter to find a “good gypsy boy” to settle down with, but Mary is torn between what her mum and dad want for her. Speaking on TLC’s Gypsy Brides US, Mary says: “They argue about it a lot. “My mum wants me to clean and have children and take care of them. My dad wants me to become a writer. “I want to have both, I don’t just want to have one.” And when the subject of Mary’s upcoming tenth birthday party is raised, it isn’t long before Lee Ann and Joe butt heads. Lee Ann says: “Mary is about to turn ten and I planned her a birthday party. “I think it needs to be for her to meet future husbands and for their families to get a look at her.” Joe is horrified at the prospect … [Read more...] about Traveller mum throws daughter, 10, a party so she can meet a husband – and is fine with her getting pregnant at 14 too
