Mmm, Herbs, I need a bit of sorting pens into colours. And ds's cupboards need tidying...
Thank you, my Crepey friends - and you all know that I couldn't, and indeed wouldn't, have done it without you. 
MI, I liked the amber specs. I recently (2 weeks ago) got new glasses and nobody noticed at all. I am taking this to be a good thing, as it clearly means that they suit me. Usually, my dear friends and family don't hold back from commenting on my glasses choices. Either that, or these are so bad that everyone is struck dumb with horror. :)
Rose, sorry to hear the virus is really hanging around in your house. There do seem to be some potent germs hanging around at the moment. One school that I know of had an outbreak of swine flu recently - I didn't even know that was still doing the rounds.
Gawd, I am getting pissed off with the family "vegetarian" (just for a change), who refuses my offer of roast (free-range) chicken ("I'm not eating a dead bird"), but secretly cooks and scoffs some naff chicken kiev gubbins bought by dh. Obvs, I am not saying anything, as this is clearly just a load of old control bollocks on the mock vegetarian's part, but some days I just find these kinds of things make me peevish.
Now, having had 3 months off doing exercise other than dog walks and my usual sit-ups etc, I am feeling blubbery and trying to get back into circuit training and running. And am also contemplating a bit of swimming (although this always plays havoc with my hair - which as most crepeys know already only has two settings: 1) unruly, and 2) deranged) and I have been perusing the M&S website for some swimwear. I usually only wear utilitarian cozzies with legs, but feel that my current one makes me look like a black pudding. So I was going to go for a more "poolside" look for a grown-up change. I was thinking this, but fear there may not be enough space for my surprisingly ample, if droopy, frontage. Then again, there is also this which is almost as good as my usual Edwardian bathing machine plan. And does of course mean that I would save £££££s on sun cream.
