    I doubt the battery life will be any good either so it would be a pain to travel with because you'd get halfway through a movie and it'll die! But you'll look cool because it is fab looking!

    Haha, can just imagine some slick city man having it die on him then trying to casually put it away in a 'I was so done using that anyways..' way :D

    I think they're meant to have 10 hours battery life though, which isn't bad to say my laptop has a 4/5hour life!

    I just really want one. So I can put it in a cute cover to make it look like a book :(

    Uh oh I clicked on the apple store link even though I know perfectly well what an iPad is!

    Tete, how did you manage to miss the furore when they were launched? People were either smitten at first sight or asking why they were named after a "lady product". Brilliant :D

    Yay for the lovefilm cashback Cinny! I got mine through TCB last year but I'm not giving it up now :o

    I'm very envious of you girls and your creative streaks! I did sew some penguin buttons onto my favourite cardi last month, but I don't think I could do half the things you're talking about! Love that fabric, Tete - very continental!

    I clearly missed the fuss when they were launched too. Guess there's no point marketing them on Teesside as all we ever buy are flat caps, pies and whippets :D

    About to be a bad influence Cinny. But I just found some heavily reduced Benefit cosmetics and thought of you.

    I've been good and resisted the cheap Benefit Dinah! :D Is a great offer though!

    Not much to report moneywise from the weekend. Spent about £55 but that was with the Beauty show so I knew it was going to be a little spendy. Finally got my little mitts on a Konad nail art kit and Nubar polishes so I'll be playing with them this afternoon. Have £45 left in my bank now, but have to go buy some stuff this afternoon.

    Other news is, we have a new puppy! A little pug called Arnie :D He's so cute!

    Hope you all have a nice day! Busybusybusy at work so I best stop faffing!

    Click! (mind my mug!) Had a right do last night thinking of a name, they wanted to call him Arnie at first. (They = My Sister and her Boyfriend) but then my Sister started liking Darcy or Jasper. Then I suggested Percy or Picklez. After about 2 hours they re-settled on Arnie!

    He's adorable! So tiny and grumpy looking! And I like Arnie the best out of those names, for a pug. Really, did your sister buy him on a whim??

    Wasn't really a whim, she's been looking for a pup for about a year now. But she just got him without 100% of my Parents permission (meaning my Mum knew but didn't tell my Dad she knew) Plus she only found out about the pups Saturday night, so it did feel a bit rushed!

    He's named Arnie after Arnold Schwarzenegger though, as her boyfriend decided Pugs look like body builders when they're grown up.
