    I am indeed a party animal vl (hope you don't mind me calling you that?) :o

    I don't mind in the slighetst although perhaps my actual name might be better :rotfl:, which is Vix (nickname anyway!) :cool:

    That is Some List! (think Charlotte's Web).

    Good luck makeup, sounds good! :T

    Aargh, slid all the way to Lidl, had to hand onto lamp-posts and fences and then the bloomin shop had no geese :eek:

    Plus they had hardly anything off my list so I had to stop at Tatco on the way home.

    Oh well...... I might try Aldi tomorrow but not looking forward to sliding my way there instead.

    There is a Lidl near me so I guess I could try them on Monday.

    Cheery, don't worry about your lists, some of those things will be quick and easy!!!
    I've got my own flat :j:j

    Now I have to pay the bills :eek:

    And feed my interiors addiction ;)

    Blimey! Don't feel like I've got anything done - took me 4 hours to sew up the bl**dy curtains! :rotfl: :rotfl: Not *entirely* sure why I considered that to be necessary, given all the other things I have to do! :rotfl:

    Cheery, hope you're having a lovely party (again, lol).

    Makeup, wow, you're doing really well - hosting the family, invited for a big promotion, sounds brilliant.
