DON’T MESS WITH ME I’M MENOPAUSAL!

Shona Sibary, 51, has a fight on her hands as hormones mess with her emotions

- SHONA SIBARY

In my previous world – the one before menopause, where I still had oestrogen and slept at night and didn’t have to change my entire wardrobe to cope with the embarrassment of hot flushes every five minutes – it would have seemed totally inconceivable to lose the plot over a prawn sandwich.

But, clearly, we’re not in Kansas any more, Toto, because the rage I recently felt when a pub tried to charge me £12.50 for what turned out to be two thin slices of Mother’s Pride and so few crustacea in number they could have been the last MPs that supported Boris Johnson was, admittedly, a bit of an overreaction. Needless to say, we probably won’t be welcome back there any time soon.
