Hello dear friends.. I have arrived in America last evening, and made it through duty free with a free spritz of perfume and a sarnie from Pr*t (thought about Piq) and ate that instead of airline food on the plane.
Almost missed my connection so got a boost of 2,000 extra aerobic steps as I ran like a nutter from one terminal to the next, but at least I smelled nice.
Jet lag was a bit rough, fell asleep right away but was up at about 4am trying to fall back asleep.
Had a lsd today because I bought 2 pairs of control top tights (we call them pantyhose ha ha ha ha) the see thru nude ones to keep as spares in my laptop bag in case I ladder any over the next 4 days. both pairs cost $6
Will spend early evening pressing off my blouses and stuff as I will probably get tired soon.
All meals and everything are expensed so will try for NSD tomorrow

Hello NewLeaf, well done for avoiding the horrible and expensive 'plane grub!

Wonderful :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: to hear that you're keeping up with your exercise routine!

Yuk to jet-lag. Hope it's worn off now.

Nice one - make the most of it.

When you find the ideal reward, please don't keep the knowledge to yourself < said Robin who just awarded herself two HM bakewell tarts for keeping her temper today - before reading your post!
