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

Couple double value of their home with stunning £360k makeover – and now it’s worth £2m
A couple has doubled the value of their £1million country home by embarking on an extensive home makeover without blowing money as they find bargains on ebay and auction sites. Tracey Gill and her husband spent £360,000 on stunning renovations that have transformed their East Sussex village house from a nondescript property to one that is beautiful, lighter and brighter. The house, which was bought for £1.025million in 2016, has now been revalued at between £1.8million and £2million. The couple spent 18 months transforming the rural property into a dream home with beautiful design and decor. Tracy said: “My husband gave me the brief when house hunting to find a house ripe for transformation in the prettiest location. “I knew I could change any house we bought so the important factor was the land and location.” She said the house they bought was “covered in cream pebble dash with concrete roof tiles, dark rooms, artexed walls and low ceilings” which was an issue for her … [Read more...] about Couple double value of their home with stunning £360k makeover – and now it’s worth £2m
How Ellie Goulding hid her baby bump in lockdown as she reveals she’s SEVEN months pregnant with first child
ELLIE Goulding surprised fans yesterday when she revealed she was seven months pregnant with her first child. The singer, who is married to Caspar Jopling , had given no indication until then that the couple would soon become parents. Fitness fan Ellie, 34, cleverly drip fed her social media followers a stream of throwbacks of her working out and looking trim. The style-savvy star also struck cool poses in fashionable oversized clothing in more recent snaps. She rocked an eye-catching Stella McCartney dress shirt in October, while a month later she again covered her stomach in an oversized shirt. Other uploads saw her use close up images and, in the case of an atmospheric post last week, shadows to keep the pregnancy a secret.

Woman notices her photo has been ‘bumped’ from mum’s display – and response is brutal
Parents often love to fill their homes with photos of their children from over the years, expanding this to include grandchildren and other relatives as time passes. One mum has a cabinet covered in family photos in her home, but her daughter recently noticed something odd about the display. A TikTok user named Rachel Frost from the US, shared a video of her mum's picture collection, showing various weddings and smiley babies. But as she looked through the images, she realised she couldn't see one of herself anywhere. She asked her mum what was going on, saying: "Umm... mom? Did I get bumped? "Did I get bumped? How did Gumby... I'm not here." Her mum then comes over and picks up a frame from the back of the cabinet that was tucked behind another picture. The frame has four images in and a picture of Rachel when she was a child is placed in the bottom corner. Rachel simply says "oh" clearly feeling disappointed by this. Her mum then has the most brutal response as … [Read more...] about Woman notices her photo has been ‘bumped’ from mum’s display – and response is brutal
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
