    I take back evrything I said. Already it is really smelling like 'Romance' :)

    Was getting worried there about the perfume oils :D There's a girl over on the toiletries thread who has 18 of them, I figure she wouldn't keep buying them if they weren't good. Not sure I believe them about perfume costing £1 a bottle :eek: I know it has a huge mark up but some of those pretty bottles must cost a bit just for the bottles. Cheap perfume can be really nasty, if it was only costing £1 a bottle wouldn't the cheap ones be lovely too. It must cost a bit of money to develop the fragrances in the first place as well. I think that £1 thing is a bit misleading.

    Every time I read about your poledancing I think "I have to start exercising, I want to be fit like her:rotfl:"

    Have you been to Mr T's for the double the difference bargains yet? If you do it properly it's definitely worth the inconvenience!

    I really must learn how to multi-quote!

    Perfume oil update: I actually had to wash some of the oil off my wrists at lunchtime as I think I had put too much on. However nearly 9 hours later I can still smell it :j There's no 'cheap' tinge to it either. I am really pleased with it. I have ordred 3 more today so hopefully they'll be delivered to me at work on Monday - Be Delicious, Sicily and Acqua di Gio.

    Seriosly give the pole dancing a try. It has done wonders for my self-esteem and everyone is so impressed when they see what I can do (and I have miles to go yet). It is so good for your core strength, in turn that pulls all your muscles in and improves posture. I am very achey today though.

    I think I've missed the boat on the Tesco thing. I wanted to go last week but was very short of both time and money :(

    Off to have my friday curry now.....mmmmm

    Forgot to add - food shopping came to just £37.36, within my £40 budget. Amazing as I had more meals to buy this week too.

    Busy day tomorrow - housework, then got a friend coming round for lunch, then off to hairdressers. DD is staying at my sister's tomorrow night because WLM and I are off to do a pop quiz with my Mum and Dad at the golf club (no denim :eek:). We love our music and the bar's really cheap and it's only up the road from here so no cab fees.....excellent. Really looking forward to it. I play to win ;)

    OnePoll seems to be working OK for me from home now. That's good £5.90 now :)

    Still not been credited with my £40 though. That will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. Not very good. They are probably still wading through all the complaints to deal with the important stuff :cool:

    Had a good time last night. We came 3rd in the quiz out of 18 teams. We won a bottle of wine each. Next one is in september so definitely want to do that.

    We drove up to my Mum and Dad's last night and WLM left his car there. When he went to pick it up this morning some moron had broken both his wing mirrors off :mad:. I just can't believe there are people who do this kind of thing for fun. He's gaffer taped them back on but now there's the expense of getting them fixed all so some drunk pr*ck could have a laugh on the way home from the pub.

    We took DD to a cycle path so she could learn to ride her bike. I thought it would take months but in the end it only took half an hour :T. She is pleased to bits and I am so proud of her.

    We went back to Mum and Dad's so she could show them and we were out the back where there is a large alley. Dad said he'd pump her tyres up, turned back into the garage to get the pump off his bike and said 'Where's my bike?'. Turns out at some point on Friday when he was teaching her to ride, DD had run back into the house in tears because she thought she'd never be able to do it, he'd followed her, when he went back later he shut up the garage, didn't even notice the bike wasn't there (it's a large double garage and has loads of stuff in it like garages do) so it looks like while he popped inside to see how DD was someone nipped in and took the bike.:mad:

    I am just thinking what goes around comes around but it's just annoying because you never find out if the thieves get what they deserve.

    So, 2 crimes in one weekend where my parents live :(

    I did win £10 on the lottery last night so not all bad I suppose. That will pay for my next 5 weeks tickets.

    Just been reading Different Corner's diary and realised I still haven't got round to listing all dd's stuff on ebay. Maybe I'll just take the pictures tonight then take it from there.......

    Been wearing the Narciso Rodriguez perfume oil. I love it but it doesn't last as long as the Romance one.

    Must remember to fill in the Census form......

    That's awful about the stolen bike and the broken mirrors :(

    You did well in the quiz :T and isn't DD great getting into the cycling so quickly.
