Amanda Wilkie trawls the internet so you don’t have to. This week, as a Christmas gift, she’s scoured social media for the funniest women she could find.
So, here we are! 2015 is nearly ready to make its exit and 2016 is waiting in the wings, all ready to make its debut.
In early July, I did a round-up of some of the best tweets of the year so far by funny and fabulous ladies of Twitter. So obviously I needed to do a second round-up to finish the year off. And here it is!
Thanks very much to all who submitted tweets, especially, again, to those ladies who were brave enough to send in their own tweets. Thanks for the laughs!
My 2yo said she is a grown up. I told her she isn't, that she is a toddler. She replied, "No, I'm a grown up. I'm going to touch knives."
