13/10/2026

☀️✈️ **WELL, WELL, WELL… THE DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED!** ✈️☀️

👑 **LADY BRIDGERTON, HER FOUL MOUTH, JOHN & THE CHILDREN ARE OFF TO SPAIN!** 🇪🇸🍹

Two whole weeks of freedom… for us AND you lot! 😂😂

And the bonus? An **ALL-DAY TRAVEL MARATHON WITH THE CHILDREN!** 😭🤣

Let the interrogation begin…

🙄 “ARE WE THERE YET, MUM?”
🙄 “HOW LONG TILL WE ARRIVE?”
🙄 “HOW LONG IS IT TO ABERDEEN?”
🙄 “HOW LONG IS THE FLIGHT?”
🙄 “HOW MANY MILES LEFT?”

Listen, children… you don't even know how long a FOOT is, never mind a bloody MILE! So please explain to me how you expect to understand the answer! 🤦‍♀️😂

I can practically hear the cocktails in Spain shaking themselves ready for my arrival. 🍹🍷 I suspect a few of them already have **LADY BRIDGERTON** written on them! And after the last few weeks, I intend to make absolutely sure they don't go to waste! 😂

📋 **OPERATION GET THE SMITHS TO SPAIN: COMPLETE!**

🔑 Keys handed over to just about everything we own.
🩲 Don't panic, I've kept the key to my knickers! Some things are staying under lock and key! 😂😂
🧳 Bags packed and loaded into the car.
🧽 Cleaning products dropped off.
🐱 Kittens have their babysitter.
🏡 The caravan has its carer.
🐶 Dogs are off on their own holidays.

Everyone has been given their orders, instructions and probably enough information to write a bloody novel! If anything goes wrong now, it's officially no longer my problem for a fortnight! 👋🤣

We're setting off at 7am, grabbing a McDonald's breakfast and starting this holiday exactly how we mean to continue it… **WITH FOOD, CHAOS AND ABSOLUTELY NO INTENTION OF BEHAVING OURSELVES!** 🍔😂

🇪🇸 **SPAIN, HERE COMES LADY BRIDGERTON!** 🇪🇸

I've never been before, so we're trying something new. Two whole weeks of sunshine, relaxing, tanning the bits of me you lot don't usually get to see 😂☀️ and enjoying some much-needed family time.

Although, let's be honest, after spending all day travelling with the kids, I might need a holiday from the holiday before we even get there! 🤣😭

We'll see you all in two weeks, hopefully with a lovely sun-kissed tan, a suitcase full of dirty washing, absolutely no idea what day it is, and Lady Bridgerton still trying to find her feet after making the most of those cocktails! 🍷🍻😂

And don't you worry, my lovelies… **I KNOW YOU'RE ALL STARTING YOUR COUNTDOWN UNTIL LADY BRIDGERTON RETURNS!** 👑🤣

Who else is going to keep you entertained with a foul mouth, questionable life choices and absolutely no filter? 😂

Behave yourselves while I'm gone…

Actually, don't. I need some gossip to come back to! 👀🤣

**BYE BYE, MY LOVELIES! SEE YOU IN TWO WEEKS!** 💋☀️🇪🇸

*Lady Bridgerton has left the building. Spain, you've been warned!* 👑🍹😂

10/10/2026

👑💋 **DEAREST GENTLE READERS… LADY BRIDGERTON HAS AN ANNOUNCEMENT!** 💋👑

Well, well, well… the countdown is ON, the shop keys have been handed over, and this bloody woman is attempting to get her life in order before escaping to Spain! 🇪🇸☀️😂

The kittens have their babysitter 🐱, the caravan has its carer 🚐, and John has absolutely no idea what he's letting himself in for over the next fortnight! 🤣🤣

The bags are nearly packed, the lists are multiplying like rabbits, and my patience has officially fu**ed off on its holidays before I've even left the country! 🙄😂

I've still got enough jobs to keep an army busy, but naturally, everyone assumes Lady Bridgerton can perform miracles. Let me make one thing perfectly clear, darling…

**I AM A WOMAN, NOT A BLOODY AMAZON WAREHOUSE WITH LEGS!** 👑💅

📢 **NOW, PAY ATTENTION, MY LOVELY LITTLE GOSSIPS…**

While John and I are away with the family for two weeks, I shall be unavailable for emails and booking enquiries until **29th October**.

That's right. UNAVAILABLE.

Not hiding in the toilet.
Not ignoring you personally.
Not sitting here waiting for your message to arrive.

I SHALL BE IN SPAIN, DARLING! 🇪🇸🍹☀️

The shop will remain OPEN, so you can still spend your money on all those gorgeous bargains while I'm away. You're welcome! 🛍️💋

But emails and booking enquiries? They'll have to wait until my royal backside returns to UK soil.

I refuse to spend my holiday glued to a phone, organising everybody else's lives while mine resembles a flaming skip! 🔥😂

Lady Bridgerton has standards, you know. Very low patience, an exceptionally sharp tongue and absolutely no intention of entertaining unnecessary drama while sipping a cocktail.

And should anybody dare to ask me to do *just one little thing* before I leave…

Darling, I suggest you run. 👠🤣

So, my dearest gentle readers, consider this your official warning.

**THE LADY IS LOGGING OFF, THE LUGGAGE IS GOING IN, AND SPAIN IS CALLING!** 🇪🇸👑

John, the family, sunshine, cocktails and two weeks of attempting to remember what a relaxed woman looks like.

If you need me, I'll be the one with a drink in my hand, a smile on my face and absolutely f**k all interest in your drama! 🍹💋

Until the 29th of October…

**I remain, as ever, your scandalous, sharp-tongued and gloriously unapologetic Lady Bridgerton.** 👑

*You may now return to your gossip. I know you will.* 🤣💋

Yours in scandal and sunshine,

**LADY BRIDGERTON** 👑🥂💋

07/10/2026

🚨 ATTENTION PLEASE… SHE’S BACK AGAIN 🚨

Yes, me. Lady bridgerton 😂

Aren’t you all absolutely devastated that Facebook STILL hasn’t managed to get rid of me and my foul mouth? 🤣

Well, GOOD NEWS FOR YOU LOT…

You’ve only got 5 DAYS LEFT OF ME before I disappear for TWO WHOLE WEEKS. 🎉😂

So obviously, before I escape, I’m going to squeeze one last favour out of you all.

You were bloody brilliant helping me find a cleaner, so that’s ANOTHER JOB OFF MY EVER-GROWING TO-DO LIST. 🙌

But apparently that wasn’t enough work for me, because I’ve now been handed a SHOPPING LIST. 🤦‍♀️😂

So here I am again, cheekily asking if anyone can help.

If you’re having a clear-out, replacing furniture, or have something sitting around that you no longer need, PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT TO THE TIP!

If you’d be happy to let someone else have it for FREE or a small charge, we’d absolutely love to hear from you. ❤️

🛒 THE SHOPPING LIST 🛒

🔥 Condenser tumble dryer

🛏️ King-size bed frame

🛏️ Double bed frame

🛏️ Trundle bed

🪑 Reclining chair that helps someone get up and down

The reclining chair is for a dear old lady who has recently come out of hospital, so if anyone has one that could make life a little easier for her, she would be incredibly grateful. ❤️

We’re hoping to get everything sorted BEFORE WE GO AWAY, because I am NOT taking this shopping list to Spain with me. 😂

Can you imagine me at the airport trying to explain:

“Sorry, these three beds are absolutely essential holiday luggage.” 🤣✈️

I've already got to fit the entire bloody family on that plane. There is NOT room for a king-size bed in the overhead locker. 😂😂

So if you have anything on the list:

👇 COMMENT BELOW OR PM ME 👇

Tell me what you've got, where you are and what you want for it.

And if you don't have anything but KNOW SOMEONE WHO MIGHT…

👉 SHARE THIS POST!

Come on, you lot…

5 DAYS LEFT BEFORE I DISAPPEAR.

Let's see if you can get this bloody shopping list sorted before I escape you all! 😂❤️

05/10/2026

Right… before anyone starts panicking because I’ve gone quiet…

I HAVEN’T FU***NG DISAPPEARED. 😂

I’m just lurking about in the background trying to organise our holiday, get everything sorted, AND find somewhere we can move our mountain of s**t into before it takes over the entire bloody country. 🤣

If you miss me that much, just message me and check whether I’ve gone bald yet. 😂

We are officially on the COUNTDOWN TO OUR HOLIDAY ✈️☀️ and naturally I’ve still managed to give myself another job…

🧽 CARAVAN CLEANER NEEDED 🧽

I’m looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to do a cash-in-hand caravan changeover on:

📅 Monday 19th October

If you’re interested yourself OR you know someone who might be, please COMMENT BELOW or SEND ME A PRIVATE MESSAGE.

If you’re tagging someone, please make sure they’re actually happy to be contacted about it 😂👇

⚠️ IMPORTANT — I NEED TO MEET THE PERSON BEFORE FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER.

I need to meet them beforehand so I can show them exactly how I like the caravan cleaned, go through everything that needs doing, and give them my cleaning products and anything else they’ll need.

So if you’re interested, PLEASE MESSAGE ME ASAP — don’t leave it until the 9th because I need time to arrange the meet-up before I disappear on holiday! 😂✈️

And today I’m off to Inverness to get my nails done 💅 and sort out a few last bits before we go away.

Meanwhile, apparently JOHN HAS THE HARD LIFE. 🤣

You know… sitting on his arse all day.
Living the dream.
Probably wondering why I’m stressed.
Probably thinking, “What exactly have you got to do?” 😂

Well John…

I’M SHOPPING WITH A 2-YEAR-OLD.

Changing s**tty nappies, trying to keep said 2-year-old entertained, dragging them around the shops, and then trying to BEAT THE TIME ON THE BLOODY CLOCK so I don’t end up with another f**king parking ticket. 😂😂😂

You get to sit down.

I get a toddler, s**tty nappies, shopping, parking-meter stress, errands, nails, holiday prep, caravan stuff, cleaning arrangements, finding storage and approximately 47 other jobs that somehow magically become MY JOB. 🤣

But don’t worry, John…

I’LL BRING YOU SOMETHING BACK FROM INVERNESS.

Probably a parking ticket. 😂😂😂

Right, I’m off before he sees this and starts defending himself. 🤣💀

03/10/2026

🚨 RIGHT YOU LIVELY LOT… TAIN, WE NEED YOU! 🚨😂

Now that you lot have decided you actually want us to open the storage place again, we’ve got a little mission for you…

We’ve been pointed towards TWO possible places 👀👇

📍 The building opposite Stepping Stones Nursery — the one that recently had the flower shop in it and is now sitting vacant.

📍 The 3-storey building just off King Street — the one that’s been sitting empty for what feels like approximately 400 years! 😂

AND THIS IS WHERE YOU LOT COME IN… 👇

We need names.
We need phone numbers.
We need Facebook contacts.
We need owners.
We need landlords.
We need somebody’s cousin’s mate whose granny once knew the person who owned it. 😂

Basically… WE NEED THE TAIN GOSSIP NETWORK TO GO INTO OVERDRIVE! 📞🤣

If you know who owns either building, who manages them, who we need to contact, or even have a number we can try — TAG THEM BELOW OR SEND IT TO US!

Don’t sit there thinking “someone else will know.”
YOU ARE SOMEONE ELSE. 😂

We’re trying to find somewhere we can store our bargains AND open up again so you lot can come and rummage through them. 🛋️🪑📺🛍️

So tag your friends.
Tag your contacts.
Tag the local know-it-all.
Tag the person who somehow knows everyone’s business before they even know it themselves. 👀😂

TAIN… THIS IS YOUR MOMENT.

Put the kettle on, activate the gossip network and FIND US A BUILDING! 😂🏠

👇👇👇 WHO DO WE NEED TO SPEAK TO? 👇👇👇

02/10/2026

RIGHT, YOU LOT WHO ACTUALLY KNOW ME… COME HERE A MINUTE. 😂

Because I have a feeling some of you genuinely think that what you see of me is all there is to me. 🤣

You see me in the shop, usually working, usually with a mop up my arse, usually looking like I've got 17 things to do and absolutely no idea which one I'm doing first. 😂

And if you see me out and about, I'm probably rushing around, talking bo****ks, sorting something out or wandering around Asda with my head up my own arse trying to decide what the hell we're eating for the next week.

Because I am officially FED UP of smiley faces, chicken f**king nuggets with beans or spaghetti hoops. 😭😂

But honestly…

THERE IS A WHOLE OTHER SIDE TO ME YOU LOT NEVER SEE. 👀

I do actually talk when I'm not working.

I have conversations.

I even have hidden talents. 😂

I make a bloody lovely Victorian sponge. 🎂
My rice pudding is pretty damn good.
John loves a warm fruit scone or two.
And I'm a dab hand at a chocolate Swiss roll. 🍫

AND…

Me and Bob actually grow our own food too. 🌱🥕😂

Yes, I know.

Who the f**k are we?

We grow our own stuff and the kids absolutely love our homemade pickled beetroot. 😂

I genuinely never thought I'd be the woman standing there making homemade pickled beetroot while simultaneously wondering what the hell happened to my life.

But here we are. 🤣

YES.

ME.

The woman you lot usually see covered in dust, running around the shop or trying to work out whether we've already got three tins of beans at home. 😂

That's why John likes to keep me hidden at home.

He's scared you'll all discover I can actually do things. 🤣

I've even tried writing HELP ME on the living room windows while pretending to clean them…

AND NOT ONE OF YOU HAS COME TO RESCUE ME. 😂😂

I'm beginning to think you're all in on it.

Only kidding…

…or am I? 👀🤣

I'm writing this while waiting for Theo at football and walking our ridiculously overweight Labrador.

We love her dearly…

…but if she decides to sit on your knee, you'd better have your will written because she would absolutely break your legs. 😂🐕

So I'm keeping myself busy before one of you lot gives me another job.

And yes, I know you're all wondering what I get up to when I'm not in the shop…

Apart from the bedroom, obviously. 😂

Even I'd get excited about that story at this point.

It's been that bloody long I may as well write to Santa now and put it on the Christmas list. 🎅🤣

Because let's be honest…

I've got the Victorian sponge, the rice pudding, the warm scones, the chocolate Swiss roll, homemade pickled beetroot AND I'm growing my own food.

I've basically got the life of a 1950s housewife.

All I'm missing is the s*x. 😂😂

At this rate, even Santa's going to leave me a voucher and a note saying “good luck, love.” 🎅🤣

So if you see me out and about and I'm actually having a conversation instead of working…

don't panic.

It's just my hidden personality finally escaping.

John will have me locked back up by teatime. 😂😂

Now come on then… tell me what hidden talent you've got that nobody would expect from you. 👀😂

I can't be the only one who's been keeping secrets! 🤣

01/10/2026

RIGHT… THE RAFFLE IS DRAWN ✅
THE BASEMENT OPENING DAYS ARE OVER ✅
SO WHAT THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO NAG YOU LOT ABOUT NOW?! 😂😂

Tell you what… I’ll give YOU lot something to think about instead! 🤔

We’re looking for somewhere IN TAIN that we can use as storage but also potentially open up to the public for the odd bargain day.

And before anyone suggests somewhere in the middle of the Antarctic Ocean… 😂🌊 we need people to actually be able to FIND the bloody place!

We don’t mind paying reasonable rent if we can:

📦 Get all our storage containers emptied into ONE place
🏪 Have somewhere we can actually open up
🛋️ Fill it with all the bargains we collect
💷 Make a little extra cash shifting the stuff we genuinely don't need
🙌 And let you lot come along and rummage through it for some bloody good bargains

BUT… and this is important…

We need somewhere reasonably priced where the owner isn't going to have a complete meltdown every time we say:

“Right, we're opening the doors this weekend, come and get your bargains!” 😂

We’re not looking for some fancy showroom.
We need storage + somewhere people can come in, have a rummage and spend their money.

And if we can't find somewhere suitable… well, it might have to be J&J’s Garden Clearance & Bargain Emporium 😂🌳

Although unfortunately you lot can't come into the house because the cats and dog aren't up for sale… 🐱🐶

THE CHILDREN, HOWEVER… 😂😂😂

They might be negotiable. 🤣

So come on, Tain… PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON! 🧠

👇 WHERE SHOULD J&J’S GO NEXT?

If you know of an empty unit, shed, warehouse, shop, old business premises, industrial unit or somewhere we might not have thought about — COMMENT BELOW!

And if you know someone who owns somewhere suitable, TAG THEM!

Because apparently I need a new thing to nag you all about… and this could be it. 😂

J&J’S NEXT ADVENTURE… WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING?! 👀
