    Well i'll be a cheap date in Jinty's shed tonight, all day i've been assaulted with paint fumes in the house mixed with an enormous gas leak on the footpath out the back :eek: So i'm lightheaded already, one sniff of the home made booze & i'll be anyones :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Have had to abandon the painting as i feel sick & dizzy which isn't a good combination when up a ladder!!!!

    Think i'm now the only person praying for rain!! (to wash away the awful gas smell). On the bright side at least i've got time to have a wash & pop on a fancy outfit for the party!! :D

    Oh & number 14 today, & there's so much still to do tomorrows pretty much guaranteed to be spend free too :j

    i haven't left the house and have no intention, will or need to - maybe this is the way to do it :D shame it's all down to a horrible migraine :mad: i've been in bed all day, feeling a bit sorry for myself :(
    Oh no, really sorry about the migraine, that's a bummer on a bank holiday weekend. Hope it goes soon and you can at least enjoy some of the weekend.
    Take care

    Eve-nin Peeps..tintanet still being a balooga so I shall engage my si-kick-ull new-billy-tees & see you all in the shed via my third eye. What time are the bands starting tho as I don't want to miss them either...

    I was never a 'pop' as much preferred 'rock' ostrich [never ever been small enough to be a chick!] so I'll bring Queen, Bowie & a few concept albums if you like *enter smilie here cuz I'm NOT tempting Fate to put them in myself!* I've got some joss sticks too somewhere....

    No 19 came in to land last night & I've still got loads of laundry to catch up on so the week-end is looking hopeful for more nsds. I could spit tho, as I've been promised sunny spells all week only to have heavy showers, or I would have just done the bluddin washing & hung it inside *fume*

    Happy [Belated] Birthday; Hugs to those in any kind of pain & Cheers to those with something to celebrate, even if it is only getting your unmentionables washed & dried in the same day like me!

    Just off to clean out the tardis again:eek: (cat poo still there from our last but one outing, how the hell did so many little cats generate so much poo.... never mind Hubert last time:eek::eek:).
    Then off to get my skin tight Suzi Quatro jeans on (no eating for me tonight then:D), my blue eyeshadow on :eek: and get my hair sorted. Where's my guitar?

    I'm bringing some bottles of Blue Nun (well, we are going retro:D), Babycham, prawn cocktail, cocktail cherries (for the Babycham) and some vol au vents. There's a nice mixture...

    You must be, conf, it's not funny. Glad it's clearing a bit though, that's good. Hopefully you'll be OK tomorrow. xx

    Glad you are feeling better Confused.

    I have just popped onto confession corner to hang my head in shame....i took a top back to TK Maxx as planned....and then walked out with a pair of boots and a new top :o (well I paid for them first of course...at least if I'd have shoplifted I'd have had a chance of salvaging a NSD, but I'm not sure that is a valid defence in court? :rotfl::rotfl:) Boots set me back £40 - they are black pull on ones for the winter, flat for walking about it and I had been looking for some. Only thing is, I'm normally a 4, but they seemed too big so I've gone for the 3, which are quite snug round the toes as they have a bit of a point, but I think them might stretch and I think the 4 were just a bit too loose. The top was £10 for dance class so not too bad. I did resist some LOVELY towels though so do I get brownie points there? :o

    Took a shirt back to P*imark so got £10 back there.

    Then...as I'd blown NSD #12, I stopped at Mr A on the way home and spent £15 on food...though the cupboards were looking rather bare. So now I'm annoyed with myself and determined at least one more NSD this month, as 12 will be my sept target I think.

    Oh, how odd is this btw...I picked up a pair of shoes in TK Maxx that I'd seen before but resisted. They had several pairs in clearance reduced to £13 (various sizes) and some others that were in clearance but not labelled. There were two pairs in a size 4 and the ones that didn't have a £13 sticker on were in better condition. When I asked for a price check at the til, the guy said they were still £30. When I queried the fact the others were £13, he said (and he was the store manager) that any stock that's been in store for 6 weeks or more, goes into clearance, but other stock remains full price EVEN if it's exactly the same item.?!?! How bizarre..

    Decided I didn't want to pay £30 for the shoes on principal and couldn't be a*sed to go and get the others for £13 as they had a mark on the heel (nail varnish would have prob sorted that) so I left them...and their wierd clearance policy.
