    Hello, I've started reading this in the last few days, and am getting funny looks from the rest of the office as I chuckle at some of the posts. Anyway, I just came out of lurking to say cats love Marmite, my old cat used to lick it off my fingers...!

    Ello all!!!!

    Just catching up on posts! I have made the cake..it looks like a pile of cat poop with smarties all over it. :D mum better eat every single crumb of it...

    Living in London is cool. I like the fact the shops open at weird hours and there is always something to do. Downside is that lattes cost as much a new pair of shoes and you have to sit next to weirdos on the train. Apart from that we are all lovely!

    Rosered - you will one day wake up and i shall be sitting in one of your spare rooms! I shall bring a cat poop cake as a gift for your hospitality to let me stay!

    Talking of shoes, me and my sister were talking about our impending holiday to Clacton (oh god) and i said i was scared that we would get attacked by chavs and that we must wear chav clothes to blend in as to not get mugged. She replied 'you can't ever be a chav, you own a real, actual pair of jimmy choos. You can never be a chav!'.
    As you can see, BEFORE i was poor and when i lived at home (and paid no rent - Thanks Mum!) I too had a bad addiction to shoes. Now i feel like a right plonker wearing a £400 pair of shoes with everything else from Primark!

    A few weeks ago i was even going to ebay them, but i cant. I will therefore be the only homeless person in london with Choos on. Look out for me. I will be the blonde girl with a cat on a string pushing a pram of primark clothes along, begging for money for lattes and hobnobs.

    OMG Blondie no! Don't ebay the Choos, I beg you! We have to hang onto the vestiges of the glamour in which we once indulged. I have a Fendi Spy bag I should really bung on ebay but just can't do it. 'It' bags are dead and it never comes out of its dustbag but IT'S A FENDI BAG FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!!! It's staying tucked away in south London with me!

    Is it wrong that even when you prefix the word 'cake' with the words 'cat poop' I still think 'yum'??

    Welcome to the thread Princess - help yourself to a biscuit. :D

    I'm getting weird looks off Mike and Phillip :)

    Blondie - you will never be begging for money for lattes whilst you've got smarties-cat-poop-cake to sell! I will always buy it! x x

    PS - good luck for interview..i think you said it is tomorrow...will be thinking of you!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: No matter what happens- never let go of your glamour! My younghusband always asks after you - we feel like we know you - that's the charisma of your personality. Your thread is turning into a giant chatroom - again - its your charisma. Just want to say "hi" and I'm off now to drink vodka and watch"People under the stairs" Hope its not too scary :)

    I know where you can get a brand new pair of Jimmy Choo's for £150. As long as your a size 3 1/2 :rotfl:
    (Not actually trying to tempt you shoe lades. If you are a size 3 1/2, ignore me!)

    Loved the image of Blondie and Marmite on the streets but Blondie still wearing the Choo's! :rotfl: (Not that it will happen!:p )

    Wish I had a cat poop smarties cake...

    And as for weirdo's on trains.. this morning there was a woman on the bus playing the guitar and singing. And then wen the school kids were trying to wind her up saying 'Do you do any MC-ing?' she was like 'Oh, yeah- a little bit. But I'm getting of the bus at the next stop so I can only show you for a few minutes' and then proceeded to rap at them. She then got of the bus (unfortunately so did I) and she started to tell a random guy at the bus stop that she thought he should write music because she thought he would be 'really good at it'. I think maybe she forgot to take her meds... :o

    ps Harold likes Chinese spare ribs. The vet has actually condoned the eating of ribs as they will help clean his teeth- who would have thunk:confused:

    Yo Laura - its called "Care in the community" - in USA where people had to pay for their healthcare, we saw 100s of mentally ill people - especially in san Francisco. But they seemed ok - they used to sing to us and we would buy them sandwiches. After all, who could be miserable in San Francisco? the best place on earth for freaks and drop outs like me and younghusband.

  • Hi All,

    Lovin' your diary Blondie.

    Have only read the first 10 pages and the last... so got a few to catch up in between - will probably take awhile - but then I have time to kill as I am jobless at the minute. Hoping that this will change PDQ as waiting to hear if I have been offered a job...... or not as the case maybe. Either way, it will be drinkcity this weeked: celebrating or drowning ones woes with fizz. If only one could drown ones debts with fizz..... wouldn't that be something?

    I'll pop in again soon!
    ** Proud to be dealing with my debts **
