Hostes...Hi there ladies!<br />FF - just call me Nigella!<br />Hostess - maybe I could get a job with OPI doing the names? I like "What the Shrek" as a name<br />Not My Age - brilliant idea, think of the fun I could have chasing Mr B around with that!<br />Deb - your daughter has a shop that sells OPI!!! how fab!! does she give you free samples??<br />MidCentury - Tallyho and tiddly pom! like poodle faker a lot<br />Kylie - what are Zara playing at? they are missing huge sales to all you mega glam Aussieland gals; good luck with the Big Move, are you moving far? probably best to take the Mini Mice with you, i know it's tempting to leave then behind but we tried leaving ours in our old flat and the new owners got really stroppy; Hope the grandparents are ok, did they get through a lot of sherry in those 5 days?<br />Polly, those aliens are coming to a shopping centre near you soon;<br />SSG - cupcakes v sickly and gudgy so big hit with the boys<br />Anne-Marie - you are v clever to do ironing watching telly, i just cannot multi-task in this way (am I almost a man??) and just end up ironing all the buttons off things or leaving the iron scorching what I am ironing as I gawp at the TV; i do listen to old fogeys radio though, v soothing; glad to hear Argan oil is the business, it smells nice too. Wow, OPI is expensive in Aus!<br />Blissful - after a good start my Moroccan oil has really slacked off, it keeps complaining about everything and sits in the kitchen for ages drinking coffee and telling me about its varicose veins, typical.<br />Dear Janet - cupcake, cupcake, cupcake!<br />LPC - it's actually all your fault, I saw your divine white lacy top on your blog and realised that was what I needed in my life; unfortunately the local shopping centre was a bit lacking in the divine white top department so ended up with the beigie Zara smock thing, which may or may not go back, I did not try it properly due to the muddle I got into with it in changing rooms, I am not joking, I had the strap of the petticoat round my neck...<br />Melissa - you are so right, ironing does mock you, mine has a really bad attitude problemBlightyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17567627987700387034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-44802176939380670442010-06-17T12:24:32.121+01:002010-06-17T12:24:32.121+01:00Love it Blighty!

In a couple of days & after a few loads of washing it will all just be there again... mocking you, daring you to finish it, scornful & contemptuous ... mine is sneering at me as we speak. Shopping for cricket balls, tunics & nail polish is a far more satisfying & economical use of your time. Also loving your patty cakes (as we call them over here).Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051918395954616614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-77422348260115407942010-06-17T04:17:57.418+01:002010-06-17T04:17:57.418+01:00OMG I can't even remember doing laundry for ch...OMG I can't even remember doing laundry for children.

How lucky were you to go to the shops on the very day OPI was on sale. Love the moroccan oil I use it too, now I can't live without it but unfortunately it doesn't help me out around the house or do the bookwork either.blissfulblonde1https://www.blogger.com/profile/10332550099014642942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-30264976982823200702010-06-17T00:25:17.164+01:002010-06-17T00:25:17.164+01:00Love this post Blighty, very meaty.

The take-out box is great for travelling.<br /><br />The smocky tops are divine. It is not at all fair that we have no Zara stores here, or Topshop, HM, Forever 21. Why I cannot fathom. <br /><br />Argan oil is fabulous, your locks will thank you. If I ever get famous (HA)and am asked what I can't live without it will be this stuff. We should be buying shares.<br /><br />xxAnne-Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5419860268577817026.post-4233109912021883442010-06-16T23:53:45.794+01:002010-06-16T23:53:45.794+01:00What delicious cupcakes!

The Mini Mice were taken away by their grandparents for 5 Whole Days.... Was to allow mr m and I to declutter and pack for The Big Move.... I really took FF's advice to heart and disposed of at least one third of household contents...
