Hi Dusty :wave: W is fully back to his usual cheeky self today thanks for asking

rach

I just popped into the kitchen to get a glass of water and ended up:

washing up dinner things
wiping all worktops
wiping hob
hanging up wet bedding
remaking bed with clean bedding
finding we have enough (slightly bendy) veg for a stir fry tomorrow...

can I ask a question about Mr T online, I've been doing it for a while but I'm not clear on whether I can use coupons with it - not Mr t coupons, but for instance I have a 25p off lurpack one - can i use it?

Must do a shop to come this weekend, doing well on food budget and have enough to get through the week but that's about it!

AnW'sMum

Anyone want a beer? I am going to get one for myself and 'declutter' a video tape prior to recycling it!

Lil_me - good luck! You'll be fine. Don't stay up too late cramming as you'll need to be awake tomorrow (I'm hugely talented at falling asleep during exams:o )

Pigpen - I think everything has already been said. There are two approaches 1. What do you want to study (you can then decide on a career when it is over - my degree is in medieval Italian literature, and I spend my time on a combination of accountancy, IP law and company law!) or 2. What do you want to do career-wise and is there a requirement for specific qualifications. As you know we're all more than prepared to follow your example and give an opinion, but will support you whatever you decide. Try not to have any more accidents while you're working it out :rotfl: (and I think my GP went to the same charm school you did... she has used those exact words to me in the past...!)

Mudbath - glad you're recovering from the aches & pains. Try to stay out of trouble

Valli - ocean scents are supposed to be fresh & modern... I don't know why you'd want to buy some nasty artificial hormone-disrupting synthetic chemical spray anyway! Why don't you try finding an essential oil that you feel smells right on you? It's the pheromones & your personality that will decide whether you pull, not some chemical scent... If you insist on going for something synthetic, the important thing is that the smell is unobtrusive, and you shouldn't smell of perfume, just nice. Surprisingly, lavender and cinnamon are two of the most evocative smells for men, and they usually find them attractive, but it's usually about association, so you won't pull someone, for example, who associates your perfume with an ex that they loathe! Which is why it is a good idea to mix your own signature scent from essential oils.

Just in case anyone hasn't noticed... I don't approve of synthetic chemicals. I use natural cleaning products, toiletries & cosmetics, and TRY not to buy clothes made from conventionally farmed or synthetic materials... but it's tough.

No flying today... made it home, DW on, food eaten, now need to get ready for tomorrow (nothing will be done tomorrow either as I'm up and out at 6ish and will either be back late or on Thursday as I'm out with a friend in London and may stay at hers if its a late night). This is the kind of working day I hate as I have no time for myself...

And no prizes for working out that I haven't managed to get to the gym or go swimming so far this week!

Hugs to all who need them... hope you all have a happy and succesful day tommorrow.

Totally agree - I bet she told them in such a way that they actually turned round and said 'mmm, that's a good idea, I think I might actually get a grip' :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Valli

Wooh
Have been invited to do some SERIOUS flying this weekend...brook cleaning - and litter picking...went last year and LOVED it (and the male female balance was just right...if unsuccesful) so I have to plan my days off so that I can give most of Saturday over to this...
good vibes girls then I can go...
I don't get many chances these days to give back...
I'll smell fragrant and natural then Greenbee
