    Thanks Pyxis!

    I've bought a pair!!

    And now I'm getting a refund. :(

    The gloves arrived in a vacuum pack from the manufacturers and the suppliers who sold them on clearly had no idea of the quality of the gloves.

    I wrestled them from their packaging, put them on and noticed the seams around the base of the thumbs were pulling apart.

    I took pictures (that was a bizarre selfie) and wrote back to the supplier who offered a refund without me having to return the gloves.

    The 9v battery packs are great lumps which sit on the wrist and look ridiculous.

    But they did work.

    Food for thought. I could buy a better quality pair, I suppose...
    :huh: Don't know what I'm doing, but doing it anyway... :huh:

    I love the little penguin wearing a Penguin Paperback style jumper, complete with the little penguin silhouetted in the centre of the badge (and chest).

    That's sooooo cute.

    Ahem

    This is kind of awkward to talk about but is bugging me :o

    The past few weeks I have had a really increased libido and it is driving me nuts. Seems to have gotten worse after splitting with Beau. There's nothing I can do about it but I have sex on the brain right now and it's embarassing. I know hypersexual was is a symptom of hypermania but apart from that I don't have many of the other symptoms. I think Ann summers may be making a fortune from me [/penguin]

    My favourite word is discombobulated although I also love the German word for ambulance which is Krankenwagen.

    Yeah, that's a great word!
    But it begs the question... Can you be combobulated?

    well, just go with it, MessedUp!

    If it's a real pain, try lots of vigorous exercise!

  • I agree, go with it MU and try lots of activity if it gets too annoying. If you tire out your body with any luck your mind will give you a break. It isn't daft, it can get really frustrating in all senses of the word!

    Hahahahahaha! Hopefully a penguin won't slip over tomorrow, if it does I may wade into the water to save it!
