glad that you are finding Marian easy to read. Butti I love that idea for the computer. If you thought it up perhaps you should get selling it as a mousemat or something.
Not my picture, or my idea really, Mrs Moo. So if I spread it far and wide I'm sure I'd get done for copyright.

Psycho, it works really well for some-one like me, who has really pale skin and really dark hair. And apparently a high pain threshold so the can zap it at a higher level than the average.
If you have a darker skin tone and lighter hair, it doesn't work as well. And it's not permananet removal, it's permanent reduction, so you might have to top it up once in a while. And yuou can't go back to waxing ever or it stimualte growth of new cells. Saying that, I'm very impressed with it after only two sessions and think it's well worth the money.
Feeling a bit guilty today as I bought a new winter jacket for £40. Though the one I wanted was £170! And I do need a new jacket. Mine's about 7 years old and no longer as warm as I'm sure it used to be!But I also bought a new hat and scarf which probably wasn't necessary. And a new laundry basket. Which is more practical than what I have but totally unecessary!
But I only popped in to those particualr shops to investigate prices for potential christams pressies for my dad!
I have a VW Fox as a courtesy car. I miss my wee car already! I think I have to admit to myself that I might be a bit of a girl racer!I'm sure I don't like the Fox because I think it's wee and boxy and not cool enough! :rotfl:
Off to another conference meeting tonight. So close to all those things I had to do being done! Looking forward to just chilling on the sofa for the rest of the year after that!:rotfl:

Heels and handbags! I knew I'd forgotten the most important things! I did get a new pair of trainers too.
TK Maxx clearance. My old ones were getting to the stage of taking them off outside the house! :eek: £12.
I hereby solemnly swear that I will not buy myself any more "treats" this month!
My wee head is squashed full of conference stuff. Sunday meetings! Pah! And Monday meeting and Tuesday meeting and Wednesday tweaking and Thursday collections and Friday freaking.... roll on the weekend!
(And I've still to do the assignment that is to be handed in tomorrow. A few choice words come to mind!)
And perhaps then will I actually remember to check where all my debts are at! :cool:

Sooooooooooooooooooooo tired! Too tired to care I lost the resubmission assignment becuase I was stupid with the computer and had to stay up all last night doing it - so it was late. Grovelling email sent (again) and I'm praying the changes I still had the energy left to make again will be enough to scrape a pass.
A work colleague was telling me of one of his friends, who videoed himself at the end of his course, telling him exactly why he never wanted to do it again! There's got to be something in that!Mind you, I'll just need to read over my diary.
I'm also almost all conferenced out! I don't know whether to be terrified or excited! But wow, there's so many little things that you never even think of when you go to a conference that take up so much time! Did any-one see the clip of the twin babies on Steven Fry? We are showing that at some point. It makes me smile every time I see it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JmA2ClUvUY:rotfl:
On the plus side, I've had two NSDs in a row (at least I think I have. My head isn't really my own right now. I think it's just floating above my shoulders as I glide through this week in a daze.).
Friday evening: prosecco and take away and a small bunch of us trying to remember how to converse without some-one taking minutes! :rotfl:
Right now: hot water bottle and bed!Jan10: 28,315.81 Jan11: 18,015.32 Jan12: 7,682.58 Jan13: 2,987.73 Current debt: 1,225.55

Bless you Nic, you sound exhausted - but you still seem to be going at 100 miles an hour!
Good luck with the conference, you really do deserve it

What Maty says. It will all be worth it when, at the end of the conference, all those people thank you. Be prepared to be worrying on the day as you see lots of things not happening the way that you expect them to safe in the knowledge that nobody else will notice. My top tip would be dont stress on the day, breathe and enjoy it as best you can despite spotting things that you think are wrong as nobody else will notice.
Hope you slept well.Some days there aren't any trumpets, just lots of dragons. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow -- Mary Anne Radmacher0 -
