Another Senior Moment
Have just sprayed under my arms with furniture polish. Aaargh. The terrible thing is, this is NOT THE FIRST TIME I've used something other than deodorant - last time it was hairspray.

Home tonight

Happy New Year
I can't believe it's 2006 already. Where did the time go ( Read more... ) -
I don't BELIEVE it!
Someone has stolen my wheelie-bin!
What do I do? Mount a comando-style raid on neighbours' gardens or ring the council?
I don't really want to go peering over the high fences of people's back gardens in case I'm given in hand as a pervert. Well, I am a pervert, but I don't want to be given in hand as one. Oh pooh.
