Book yourself a fantastic night out (or go on holiday but there is perhaps not quite enough time for that), and decide to wear your white trousers and boogie all night. That should do it.

Wear a brand new pair of white trousers.

Guaranteed to work.

Rhubarb · 04/06/2007 22:21

Ah, already suggested I see.

In that case - hot baths, sex etc.
