  • But but sometimes the chocolate had Fruit in it? and Nuts.

    It was really healthy to be perfectly honest.

    In 'You've got mail' she gets put out of business and is unemployed and the guy who put her out of business is hanging round like a bad smell.

    That's worse than being made redundant with a big payout and never seeing your boss again! (My life)

    But I do like Meg Ryan's hair in it!

    hm, but hair in these films is about as realistic as the rest. I have curly blonde hair and if I had it cut that short and choppy it would just look a state... well unless I had a make-up team and three hours to spend on it I suppose :rotfl:

    I have those days where you get up and my hair is flat to the sides of my head and sticking up in the middle.

    Did you realise Elfen that a Panda has made it on to the WOMAN OF THE YEAR list 2011 as an inspirational role model. I am now wondering if we can relax as it becomes acceptable to grow all body hair and wear smudged mascara all over your eyes.

    The one thing I've just thought about (as a fellow hopelessly disorganised person) is that I try to structure everything from the beginning. So if I can get my files sectioned up correctly on projects it keeps me straight on what I am doing (well that and a few gannt charts).

    Decanting performance management targets down to a monthly /weekly / daily list also helps me.

    My bedroom is also a disaster though. If the guy offering naked tea had come round the other day I'd have had to dig him into the bed. Tis shocking.

    Just wanted you to know you are not alone.

    p.s. Lived with my dad till 34 aswell and that wasn't easy. That man has no idea how close he came to waking up next to a horse's head!
    :rotfl:

    p.p.s. Sorting out my clothes yesterday, found 6 condoms with a use by date of September 2012 so maybe I should invite Naked Tea Guy back and get the Earl Grey out!
