Carrie On My Wayward, Errr, Wife

[douglas9401]

I saw someone ask earlier what's happened to Mrs Johnson of late but can't find it now.
I thought I might put it as a stand-alone question.

[1ozzy]

Doubt she spends much time standing

[barry1010]

Nothing has happened to her

[1ozzy]

Where is TTT when an "end of" is required?

[douglas9401]

Here's an amusing recap to fill some time whilst answers are sought. :-)

doesnt she have 2 young children to look after? she's probably doing what most families do - juggling work and childcare, plus feeding everyone, making their bank account balance, tidying up, deciding what to have for tea every night, filling the dishy, watching eastenders and so on

[douglas9401]

Really, bednobs? It's a possibility I suppose. Some say she's gone from ubiquity to invisibility as things ramp up party-wise though.

[FatticusInch]

Maybe she’s organising her next ABBA party?

The lyrics of their song One Of Us now seem very apt at this moment in time.

One of us is crying, one of us is lying
In a lonely bed
Staring at the ceiling
Wishing she was somewhere else instead
One of us is lonely, one of us is only
Waiting for a call
Sorry for herself, feeling stupid, feeling small

I can’t help but wonder what the cost of that ceiling would be following the recent refurbishment of their flat? Maybe we’ll find out in due course.

[Smowball]

Maybe she’s spending every waking hour trying to find him a decent barber!!

[bednobs]

isn't that the way it should be?
BTW, she's never been ubiquitous as far as im concerned, i've literally seen her a couple of times on the news in the last couple of years - mainly on the arm of her husband, or to do with marriage, birth, vaccination and once when they were having a summit where ALL the wags were there

[bednobs]

my response was to douglas

[Prudie]

I saw anneasquith ask where she was and didn't understand then nor now what the issue is. Where is she supposed to be missing from, I rarely saw reference to her in the news apart from baby births and something about wallpaper?

[douglas9401]

With the greatest respect, bednobs, you've either redefined 'a couple' or you've not been paying attention.

I'm off out now, to find something nice to wear for a jubilee.

No, of course I'm not but I'm off anyway. Look back later, hopefully not in anger. :-)

[anneasquith]

I’ve been asking about Carrie. Maybe her life isn’t all she expected ?

[bednobs]

Agreed prudie, in fact, i found it a bit difficult to bring her face to mind when D asked this question.

[bednobs]

what news have you been watching/reading douglas?
seriously, i swear the last time she was on the telly was when she had a baby

[naomi24]

Why would anyone expect her to be in the news regularly?

[FatticusInch]

I totally agree Naomi.
After all, it seems that the likes of Norma Major and Cherie Blair only seemed to make the spotlight when their spouses came under scrutiny for serious misdeeds, whether of a political or moral integrity basis.
Oh actually, Douglas may have a point…..

[bednobs]

thats not true ... cherie blair was always in the news afair

[FatticusInch]

Bednobs,
I stand corrected. She was often in the news, usually for all the wrong reasons.

I don’t believe that the present Mrs Johnson has the minerals to make the news as often as Mrs Blair had a propensity to do.

[youngmafbog]

I suspect Carrie Antoinette has been told to shut it and keep her Green Policies to herself. I doubt she will though as despite all the hot air Johnson doesnt seem to be actually changing anything to help those heading for the bones of their backside.
