    Oh dear about the alarm!

    I didn't like Miranda to begin when I first started watching it but she was one of my two faves at the end, her and Charlotte.

    Glad I am not the only one Birdie hehe. To be fair when we had been together a year, we were probably still at it like rabbits but five years down the line I am happy for it to be less frequent. Has anyone seen the sex and the city episode where Miranda and Steve go on their honeymoon and she can't stand lying down and relaxing all the time, reminds me of me haha.

    Well done on the to do lists Cinny, I am not so sure about the 5 am start though! You must be mad.

    Yay, I'm with you on this (and relieved to be normal!) Don't get me wrong, we're not at the 'only on birthdays and special occasions' stage (phew!) but it's definitely slowed down in the last 5 years - tbh, I don't think I have the energy anymore to be awake at 5am every day for miscellaneous aerobics :eek:
    Sorry to hear your early morning didn't work out Cinny, but you tried it! Hope you have a successful MSE shop today, there's nothing better than bagging a bargain :D

    I went to Currys last night to try to buy an oven in their sale, but this Slovakian sales girl tried to befriend me, so I got distracted and went home oven-less. I'm desperate to do some baking!!

    I think I'm definitely a Miranda too :)

    Tete - It's the last time I listen to people at work anyways! :rolleyes: It's a Natalie Dee cartoon btw, sorry if it confused you! :o

    Wendz - I didn't really like her at the start either, but to say Steve and her are meant to be the 'anti romance' couple, they're pretty darn cute!

    Been into town and stocked up! I now have enough cotton pads, dry shampoo, vitapointe and coconut soap to last me an age. Plus some crusty bread baps for my polony sandwiches :D

    Going to put it all away and get ready for work. Have the worst headache.

    Pretty cute? He cheats! And I don't blame him, shes so cold it'd be damn hard to cope with day in day out with having to work to get your own wife to give an inch. If thats not a sure indication of what hard nosed anti-romance ball buster gets you then nothing is!

    I think you missed a trick there, could she not have got you an extra discount as her new BFF?

    ETA - What IS Vitapointe? I see it on the shelves and don't have a clue what it does!

    And although Steve cheats I thought it was one of the best depictions (is this a word) of cheating and the emotions it must bring out I've ever seen.

    Darn it, I didn't think of that! Maybe I'll go back - she did tell me all of the days she's working in the next fortnight!!

    Yeah, what IS vitapointe?!

    It always confuses me when people get new pics though!

    It confuses me too! :p

    I think they're cute too. I cried when they decide to give it another go and they meet up on the bridge! :o

    What's vitapointe and polony?!

    I agree :) I love SATC, have an urge to go and watch it! I don't know who I'm most like though.

    I have a theory... maybe Dinah and NIM are 'at it like rabbits' because they haven't been together 5+ years. We should ask again in 4 years! :D

    Feel free, but my longest relationship was 3 1/2 years and I certainly didn't calm down with time, got more frequent in fact as you start to work out what works and what doesn't, so I think the only thing that would mean we'll have slowed down in another 3 1/2 years is that we should have kids by then!

    It's a leave in conditioner. I just use it on the tips of my hair during the day just to control the frizz-factor! - it's fab :D

    It's a meat sandwich filling - kind of like a sausage but without the skin! You just slice it up and put it in a sandwich (with tomato sauce - yum!!)

    Ooo, I feel awful today. Mainly because of a massive head ache, drinking lots of water, having various tablets and made the Office really quiet but nothing is helping! Blah :(

    Bought 2 things to review on DooYoo today though, should keep me busy.
