    Depending on the state of your legs (mine are very dry and neglected at the moment, though in all fairness I currently look such a state I don't think anyone would notice them), I'd go bare legged. Then you don't have to worry about any ladders. Chances are no-one will notice whether you are wearing tights or not. Unless you're going for an interview at a hosiery manufacturer, maybe.

    You forget, I've met you. You're gorgeous! So you don't fool me.

    ... that notice to be given by email to me.
    You need to work out how to set your phone to receive emails and play a special tune when certain emails come in.... then you could just lay your clothes out the night before, but still have a lie in if it doesn't happen.

    I don't know the Defendant's email address, so either I'd be woken up regularly by people wanting to help me gain a larger manhood, or (more likely) I'd sleep through the lot.

    Tights it is then. going to be hot tomorrow too, may slip out of them after interview.

    If anyone wants to meet for a coffee tomorrow in the big smoke I am available.

    Well you know where I work and it would be great to say hi again for coffee or lunch - I would ask if you had any veg/berries going spare but probably not the sort of thing you want to be carrying to interview with you.....

    Oh and good luck for the interview although I hope you don't end up with a daily commute to London, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
    I think....

    Gravy browning. But stay away from dogs if it's hot. :D

    You can actually buy spray for legs. It might be called something like airbrushed legs.

    I go barelegged if I can possibly, but wouldn't trust a spray myself. I think morrisons sell it.

    Well, I'd set the alarm and wake up, but stay in bed and prop up the poshphone so I could see it with one eye

    Wouldn't work for me. When I'm properly asleep, it takes a bomb to wake me up, a mere alarm clock doesn't stand a chance.

    Isaac works, though. He's harder to ignore than a clock, and he doesn't have a snooze button.

    Edited to add - I don't think OH would be very happy about that, either, poor sod. Not even his case, and he gets woken up at sparrow fart!

    Also for silvercar and maybe some others on here, I had a shellac manicure today and I'm impressed! I never like having manicures much but dry as soon as you walk out of the shop, walked around shops, did the cooking and nothing.

    I usually have bio sculpture. Same thing but slightly thicker. I had shellac for the first time 10 days ago, after a week it chipped so much I took it off. Not impressed; well I was impressed for the first week, but really it should last longer.

    If you need tips on removing it yourself just say.
