    Ooh, I have the red beauty spot in my basket already:D Also have the grey patent ones:D Was not sure as I bought 4 pairs last week, but if you have had lots of compliments then that's decided:D

    I bought the beauty sleep in black and black patent, and beauty tea in blue/grey and red/burgundy.:j

    *rushes off to press "place order"*

    Just returned from pressing "place order" meself! Had 3 pairs of boots in the basket and Italian flatmate tried to persuade me that I wanted all 3, but he LOVES clothes and shoes! They even have their own bedroom at his mum's place in Rome :rotfl: Fortunately, sensible SuSu took over and the grey patent and black leather shoe boots went back into the "shop" and I've bought some brown leather, quite flat boots to go with jeans. Cost about £37 all in, so am v happy

    Lula, I need to get out on my bike soon so will be looking for someone to do weekend bike rides with, if you're up for it? The cycle bit of the triathlon route is from Hampton to Chertsey, so I'll be investigating the cycle path along the river when it gets warmer, lighter and sunnier. So that'll be when I wake up and Chertsey's been moved to Spain :rotfl:

    edit: GET THE RED BEAUTY SPOT SHOES!!!

    I'm with makeup - enough shoe talk ( unless Faith are giving away freebies :D )

    SuSu I'm def up for riding along the river :j I used to live on a houseboat in chertsey :cool: so know the area quite well. We often go for walks & rides by the river there although I'm about 3 miles away now near the canal. Used to ride to work along the towpath - about 7 miles a day & was fit & healthy & could eat whatever i liked :rolleyes: .

    Sarah - STOP buying shoes, you only have 2 feet sweetie ;)

    Okay, enough with the shoe talk! I've got two new pairs and that'll do me till next year!

    Let's defo set something up for bike rides then! I need to pick up my bike from my pal's house soon (no room in the flat). I hope it's not rusted up and ruined as I've a feeling it's been in her garden, not her garage. Fingers crossed, eh? Haven't been on the bike since I did the London to Brighton cycle ride 3 years ago, so it'll need to be checked over first, as will I :rotfl:

    How cool to have lived on a housebout!! Sounds v bohemian! I gave it a passing thought when I saw Corrie the other day and Ken got all flirty with Martha-who-lives-in-a-houseboat. I could quite imagine myself in 20 years or so as a retired, bookish, flirty old gal like that :rolleyes:

    Hmmmm, think I mayhave understated the houseboat, it was less like cool & more like chuffing freezing :eek: A friend & I shared as it was all we could afford when we first left home. Great fun though & no neighbours so we partied long & hard every night :D . I'd really like to have another one ( for the summer only though as I'm now old & wimpish & like central heating :o )

    No rush on the bike riding, I prefer it warm & sunny too :rolleyes:

    hmmm... might have to reconsider whole houseboat lifestyle now, too fond of warmth and comfort. They look so cosy though (but that's probably because every time I've seen them I've been vegging out on the settee watching it on telly!)

    k, I'm going to get off to my kipster now. The boss is in tomorrow and we've got shedloads to do. Was going to look at work tonight, but ended up buying shoes, chatting and keeping an eye on the football scores :rotfl:

    Nighty night all - catch up with you soon

    On a slightly sad note, I'm really excited about Gossip Girl tonight....

    I LOVE gossip girl. Have recorded tonights though so don't tell me what happens. Is it wrong that I think Chuck is hot?

    On a very bad note, my diet was going very well until tonight. Just ate monster munch, a chunky kit kat and three :eek: creme eggs. They were on offer though...


    I have put that bit in small because then it's less calories. Right?

    Yar shush with the shoe talk! I've got new office shoes cus my old ones were literally falling apart and they've given me lovely blisters on my heels... stupid things.

    Mags: Bloody well done on the 30 meals for 30 quid! That's really impressive!

    I'm not doing so good, they say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions and I'm laying track like nobodies business! I'm smoking again cus the emotional ups n downs of quitting were playing havoc with me. I'm eating slightly better but still not got to the point of preparing enough food in advance for 3 meals a day. I haven't joined the gym yet either cus I'm too lazy to go downstairs and walk a whole 10m to the one next door!

    I'm having a bloody miserable day too, had a nasty dream about my ex so woke up feeling carp and haven't been able to shake it since. I've been trying to hide from everyone but it's a bit hard in an open plan office!!!

    No news on the job/s yet either... I hate people who don't return phonecalls!
