All I Want For Crepemas Is Youth

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Phew

Oh MI - why not :)

BTM - my husband is from the low bit of Savoie

Rudy - I would say what BTM suggested - sounds a good outlet.

I love posh bags - although I always feel I'd have to measure up beside them. I like Michel Kors/Le Tanneur expensive though not Mulberry which is a whole different league.

Rose - DH's really don't get that you want to feel you're worth an expensive bag even if you have no intention of buying one.

Sad about Alan Rickman - can't believe same age as Bowie and also from cancer . I have to say, I am sporting a hairdo dangerously resembling Prof Snape and I desperately need to remedy this.

Drunk, in lust but gong home.

Coach is my choice of bag, Rose. Esp in the sale.

Mulberry overpriced, over hyped and not particularly good quality.

Are you on the bus, Mrs S?

Agreed re Mulberry Mrs S - the price is unjustifiable.

Ooh err, MrsS

Home now and getting a grip.

MrsS not him again?

I'm looking over my glasses (varifocals natch) at you in a ever so slightly reproving way Mrs S.

Perhaps my stern gaze would be more convincing if my grammar wasn't shit?

We have been en famille to see the Lumiere festival - the bits around Kings Cross - overall a bit meh in my opinion - followed by a freezing cold walk and a curry. I'm very easily pleased and a cheap date.

I don't need a stern gaze or a Paddington Hard Stare. I have behaved impeccably.

Maybe apart from describing someone in our office as looking like the sort of man who goes home for a microwave meal for one and a wank.

As you were then. Have a from me instead. X

Coming in late here, but: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BD

Sorry, I'm all behind. I'm not very good with me work/life balance at the moment. :)

Later still.... but yes, a VERY Happy Birthday BD!

Fantastic news about dd making it to her appointment Stropps.

Stropps, you need to be in bed by 10pm if you are going to survive as a crepey teacher. Every night

TFIF. And TFITheLastExam for DD today. DS's start next week FFS!

I had a lovely tea cooked by Dp and ds, some fab pressies from ds chosen by him (the holiday was my present from Dp) and too much wine, but not at work today so still in bed..... I try not to work my b'day if possible.

The bag thing, as those who have met me will know, I just don't get.....

Rudy next time! As I said this will be a monthly thing.
Have a good Friday all.

Wow Rudy - talk about pushing it to the wire. The closing date is today isn't it? DD2 is very frustrated as three uni's have written saying they're waiting for the closing date, despite her getting hers in early December.

She as got two good offers though, one from KCL (the high one) and Surrey, a nice attainable (I hope) one. Looking at her friends, many uni's seem to be giving out higher offers then last year, or random unexpected offers rather than standards. .

Well done Rudy , on the job, and to master Rudy for getting the UCAS big red button pressed. Why indeed should anyone know what they want to do at 18? Of course your ds might change his mind.
I still don't know what I want to be/do? Do you think it's too late at 50?

BD many happy returns for yesterday. Sounds like you had a good day. Sorry about the bag gift. Dh often gives me gadgets. ultimately useful , but not really what I want for my birthday.
Maybe you can return it secretly in a few weeks? how is work btw?

Still can't see. Optician retested my eyes, didn't really say anything, but finally admitted that the lens on the lhs is wrong, and will have to be redone. Yesterday in work ( computer one big smudge) I struggled all day and then gave up and came home early. Went to Pilates, but by the time I got back , my head was so sore it was thumping. Massive headache this morning too. May have to go for a wee lie down soon.

:) Cremo, I didn't get a bag - I think Rose was talking about having one? I was saying I don't get the whole handbag thing so when people talk about Coach, Mulberry etc it goes over my head!
Work is pants, I am trying not to involve myself too much, just doing what I need to do.
