    Okay, dd is over that way Friday so can always get them.

    I was searching boots yesterday trying to find stuff.

    I tried c today for dove at sd but they didn't have any, I'm really beginning to miss my stashes and finding my shopping bills increasing , I only have s stash of tres shampoo and conditioner and even that I can't use now as I'm allergic to something in it :(

    Just seen a preview showing of the new Ben Hur - unfortunately I am old enough to remember the Charlton Heston/Stephen Boyd version and the remake is a pale disappointment in comparison. Still worth seeing if you don't remember the other one though. I didn't recognise the actors and, to my mind they had very little chemistry between them.
