Thoughts for the day

Some of my oldest friends are about to embark on amazing adventures
In school I was best friends with three other girls, Ann-Marie (she was my bestest), Juliet and Faye. The ‘Hair Perming’ incident aside*, we enjoyed great adventures, hilarious japes and plenty of harrowing times too. Then we all drifted apart after college.

I’m still bestest best friends with YoYo Knickers (aka Lucy), Faye’s sister and she told me the other evening that Faye is moving to Australia on 3rd December to live. For good. How cool is that? Now I’ve lived in Oz myself, and it’s a great country so I wish her all the best in the world.

Juliet is heavily pregnant with her first child and ready to pop any minute. Now I haven’t seen her for 5 years but we might go and see her soon. It might be weird, you know when you drift apart and you can’t remember why? Did you fall out or was it natural progression? I’m sure it will be cool though, I’m not the person I was back then and I doubt she is either.

And what of Ann-Marie? She’s a successful barrister in London, living in her own apartment on the Canary Wharf. Good for her, she was always destined to go far. Academically.

* They told me I would have to get my hair permed in order to ensure membership to the group. It was cleverly resolved (by me) when I promised to lend out my brand new Sweet Valley High book if they dropped the subject.


It’s 9 days until my birthday
*Gulp*


Just because a hair product uses Cat Deeley for its campaign, does not mean you will look like her when you use their shampoo
In fact, it may mean you spend the entire week scratching like a leper and looking like Aunt Sally. Don’t be fooled!


There are only two more pay days until Christmas
And I haven’t bought a thing. Why oh why can I never start my shopping in April, like everyone else? Christmas eve in the town centre is a nightmare that could’ve been avoided…


My knickers and my shoes match today…
Ruby red, if you were wondering.


Threatening to open a can of whoop-ass at work does not inspire fear…
…just hysterical laughter


There is such a thing as a free lunch
My colleague just gave me hers.
