  • Cinny, I wouldn't be able to read a computer screen from about 6 inches away if I wasn't wearing my lenses! :(

    I once bought a stick concealer from Boots (No17) and when I got home it was brokenat the bottom, so I took it back and really had to fight to get it exchanged - the stupid woman could see it had never been used. So don't go to Billingham branch with it!

    Cor they're some good challenges to be tackling! I think I need some... but I'll probably not be able to actually stick to anything because I never do! I wish I wasn't such a flake!

    I've just spent the last hour wrapping up lots of little presents and labelling them 2-25 for OH's 'Advent Sack', he's had such a sulk on about my advent house and how unfair it is that I'm getting lots of pre-Christmas presents (which are all counted towards my Christmas allowance from my parents BTW!) that I ended up going to home bargains after work and getting loads of sweets and little toys for him! Big baby! I love Home Bargains, I found a load of Star Trek toys for a fraction of the RRP so I stocked up as I'm doing OH a Star Trek hamper for Christmas! I have no idea where he's going to put the big model of the USS Enterprise though, I may regret buying that! LOL!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!
