I remember this story well! Fame at last! I spot me & my cintique in the corner of the studio! I also bought a heated pad on your good recommendation, but blew the fuse having it wacked up high all the time. I’ve got one for my shoulders these days, proper Granny attire. Xx
I’ve got a vague memory of the grilled skin look being called a ‘Glasgow tan’. Anyone else?
I’m allowed to say that as a native Weegie. Anyone else gets a Glasgow kiss for their impertinence!
Totally with you in the dodgy mole dept. I’m peppered with the wee buggars. It’s scary trying to monitor /track changes, check the girls for lumps, send off poo samples and generally patrol the boundaries of an entropic, succumbing, deliquescing human body. The struggle! It’s REAL!
So good and so relatable! I inherited a great-aunt's 1950s electric blanket and it was TOASTY verging on scorching. But one night my husband touched me and got an electric shock, so it had to go... modern-day safety conscious electric blankets are sooo disappointing in comparison. But at least no tartan!
Oh the indignity of being laid out for inspection by medical students (been there). But kudos on turning this into a hilarious anecdote and serving up another brilliant daily dish!
Haha!! Love this Tor!! I’ve done the same on my belly with a hotty botty! Not quite the same as grill marks though, haha. Good work!
I've had the hot water bottle version on my tummy too! Maybe it's actually a very modern problem among chic and dynamic women x
😂😂yes that’ll be it!
Haha! I think so!
Thanks Els! Yes!! Hotty watty botty will do it too! 😂xx

Long may your anomalies be benign tartan! Xx

Haaaahhahaah this is hilarious XD
Made me laugh - especially like the drawing of the curtain and all those feet and earnest comments!
I love the phrase “unsexy skin situation” - I’ll add it to my library
Im crying. Granny's tartan :) I have a wearable hot-water bottle!
I have never been more delighted to really dislike most heated things 🤣
This is fab! 😂🙌🙌😍😍
Wow! I thought you made it up, so I googled "granny's tartan". It's real! At least it's a cute name, for something harmless.
My daughter had this too after some excessive radiator usage at her desk. Literally cooking her blood in her veins 😅
This is brilliant Tor! I get those marks on my back from my heat pad - I'm quite delighted they have such a charming name!
This tickled my funny bones… I had the same problem with a semi-permanent mottled belly caused by my *very* hot water bottle! Tee hee

this is so funny. I have a heated vest and it's hideous and dorky and I love it
