Nice people thread part 5 - nicely does it

I went outlet shopping in Bicester today and bagged a few more bargains: Kath Kidston tea towels - 2 for £2 x 2, a little Radley shopping bag for £9 and some Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair for Eyes which I thought I'd give a try. But the reason I mentioned visiting there is I couldn't stop thinking of lir - they had Jimmy Choo Hunter Wellies at 75% off.

Biceater is amazing on a good day isn't it? Best one of those places i have been too. The big one in swindon is a bit dire imo. Not much to my taste there.

Advanced night repair IS amazing. I can really See the difference when i run out of it! The super concentrated one for after surgery or in dire need of pick me up is .....a super concentrated one. I love that stuff! The eye version is less good for me.....i have a brilliant italian thing i use for that instead.

I don't know what you have passed miss k, but congrats on whatever it is!...was it the blood test?



My hand is cloverd in blisters because i did too much sweeping and didn't wear gloves. We turned the pump on lake cake this morning too, and dh is cutting the grass at the front....exhausting.

We also had a horrid start to the day because we had a fox in overnight. Killed a coue of chickens who can't roost up for one reason or another...and also our girl goose has gone missing...so sign of her feathers.

We have lost a lot of chickens this spring for one reason or another.

Congrats missk!!!!!! Occasionally, when library people don't have much to do, they sit around and ask each other questions from the Life in the UK test*. It is bl**dy hard!

* Available in all good libraries and probably some bad ones

Good luck with the ILR! I’m the one that does anything immigration-related work-wise (getting to about 3 forms a week now), and the government are becoming a nightmare on everything!

Just out of pure curiosity, where are you originally from?

It was so much easier when I was little; come in on 6 month visa, noone knows you haven’t left; after 12 years get British passport (well...not that easy, but still, I was just a kid). :eek:

I didn’t do it this way, but know many that did!

Me too. It's due to rain tomorrow at Sepang:T. Always makes for an exciting rain if it does.
