Welcome LRB978, need to get on and do some work

SpookyAlice · 16/10/2009 09:56

I have done nothing since my last post.

Please come and tell how crap i am and give me a huge kick up the bum please.

We are not even dressed! I am going out tonight and i'm not even sure that what i want to wear is clean

cikecaka · 16/10/2009 09:59

Just go and get what you want to wear Alice, get it washed if it needs to be, because you will end up in bad humour this evening because "you have nothing to wear", at least if it is washed it is a start. Hope it makes sense.

I am so owed a lie-on Sunday Morning
