I rationalized that my new shoes shouldn't be punished just because I can't budget

    Anybody read One Day? I've just bought it because I feel I need to read it before the film comes out! :D

    First needing to check that all's ok wherever you are based in Manchester? The riots look BAD and very frightening on SKY news.

    Bargain! That perspex sole is interesting. Wondering if it's completely see-through in real life? They look rather difficult to walk on but I believe you're more experienced than me at walking in heels :)

    YES!YES!YES! AMAZING book :) I read it during the Christmas holidays last winter mostly on the sofa at my mothers with a duvet and hot water bottle because we were snowbound. I only heard last week that there was a film, I'm definitely going to see it.

    Yes, I'm fine thanks :) Riots are about 4 miles from me but I haven't been affected

    I may be - just slightly ;) And I do avoid walking as much as I can!

    It took me a little while to get into it at the start, I was a few chapters in before I was totally hooked on it.

    Had my nails done after work, not much else going on! Off to bed to actually read my book - not spend 2 hours on the phone! ;)

    Hi lovely,

    glad you've not been affected by riots & have done your shoe looting i a very socially responsible & economical way :D.

    They look fab, but slightly intimdating.

    My local library assistant has been trying to get me to read that book for about a year, but it's always out on loan to someone ... will be scouring charity shops for a copy & refuse to watch the film until I have read it.

    Interestingly ( for me anyway) I just could not read The Time Travellers Wife which people raved about ... but absolutely loved the film.

    xx

    Only got a few pages into the book then fell asleep! :o

    Off to a fancy dress party tomorrow so dashing straight from work today to sort out a costume!

    Then nothing else planned this evening as my friend I was meeting has cancelled as she's not well. Think I will do some pampering and have an early night - tomorrow could be a late one! ;)

    No texts or calls - but a Facebook message! :)
