No cheery cheer·y  
adj. cheer·i·er, cheer·i·est
Showing or suggesting good spirits; cheerful: a cheery hello.

Instead it's an icy blast against her one-time boyfriend, the curiously named Lembit Opik, Lib Dem LIB DEM Liberal Democrat(s) (UK political party)  MP.

adj.
Close-fisted; stingy.



tightfisted·ness n.
, dull-as ditch-water and with a shocking taste in clothes.

My first reaction was to think: 'Good on you, girl'. After all, her heart was broken very publicly and she chose to say little at the time.

Sian has undoubtedly damaged her former lover. But I fear she's done herself few favours either.
