    Well I haven't touched my chest today. I didn't sleep very well last night as I had just finished my nights. Eventually I got up at 1.40 and polished DD's shoes and read a magazine for a bit. Finally got off at about 3 I think :(
    Consequently, I was pooped today so I went to bed at 11.30 for 3 hours! I hope that doesn't do me in for tonight though. I think I'll try to go to bed earlier tonight and catch myself when I'm tired.
    Maybe I'll get some shabbying done tomorrow? I'm more in need of chicing atm!

    Oooooh, Hart, that's lovely (dribble!).
    I've finished stripping my chest. I hope to wax it after the school run. Then maybe DH can reassemble it for me this evening? It would be grand if he can, I can put my shiny bits on it then :D
