PS AbsoluteBounder, those clothes are so supremely ugly even those simulated sex poses do nothing to improve them. That grey tracksuit third from the end looks like the uniform of hundreds of package tourists en route to the Canaries.

I know it was just an email sent to me. I thought it was mildly amusing so I thought I would share it.
I have never been to the canaries. dont know why they just dont appeal.
Good to hear your moggy is doing well

Hi all,

Ooh lots of blogging going on - I'm very impressed and would love to have a read when you're up and running.

I'm not well today. Felt pretty rubbish yesterday but lasted at work until 4.15. Very shivery, temp, really sore throat and no blinking voice!!! So today I've taken a sickie although was only working til 1.

Today I'm wearing all nice new things from my shopping expedition on Saturday :
black leggings - Next £8, they're ok but not great, took 2nd pair back
black dress/tunic with ruffled bottom - £8 Asda
metallic pumps - £35 Faith
black/silver long necklace and beady bracelets - Primark
Pink pashmina to brighten it all up and keep my throat warm - free, present from my sis when she went to China/Hong Kong.

Goanmand - glad to hear puddycat is doing well. Mine is in the doghouse (or should that be cathouse) for walking dirty footprints all over my nice clean white duvet cover!

claire- feel better soon!
hurrah for wearing new things, I hate when you buy leggings and they aren't very good

Isn't that horrendous? Mine do it dily, I have a throw over the top because they climb in through the window and leave me a ''bedtime snack'' on my pillow :eek:. I think they are trying to sabotage my diet: today I've had seven rodents brought home (and the dogs caught a pigeon).

Today: jeans, another grey vest, black cardigan, black flats, pale pink drop earings, wedding ring. Only real difference from yesterday was hair: in a complicated plaited thing, as full of ojon (something else used up from the toiletries grave, I'm almost certain I will not need to buy anything accept possibly deoderant before chrsitmas!)

Get well soon, Claire.
I've just been upstairs only to discover all three sleeping on our bed, absolutely bizarre behaviour considering the two girls loathe each other and we've got a lovely real fire going in the lounge.

That Ojon stuff isn't bad, is it LiR? Don't think I could possibly justify £30 for a pot of hair conditioner even though it's beautifully packaged and divine smelling.

TBH, I wouldn't get it again. Its ok, but honestly, I've used better. But its gone now.
It wasn't that nicely packaged, but I was swayed by the advertising, the idea this would totally hydrate my curly hair and leave me ripe to me ravaged by any passing S. American tribal hunk.....or DH. DH stayed as interested as ever and I never ran across a Rainforest escapee in rural SW, London or in Milan (where this pot has travelled with me) so maybe its not been tested to full capacity.

Love it :rotfl:!!
My pot cost 75p from a charity shop, I usually get my intensive conditioner from Poundland so thought I'd save myself 25p and loved the fact that the pot matched the bathroom floorboards.

Wide leg jeans- River island (were once Mum's till I "borrowed them")
Star print blouse- Primark via a clothes swap site
