Crumbs Chiefs...

Goodness me guys. What a few hours - if you're still reading you deserve medals.

Nipped out to Woodlands with the newsletters. They will go down quite well I think. Was invited to have a look around the wedding fair, which for those of you who know about my recent change in circumstances you may think this to be some form of self-torture.

However, a waxing session sorted out that craving a few weeks ago, so this was nothing in comparison.

Yet again, not what I expected, lots of lovely smiling girls, not a bridezilla in sight and some very very interesting stands. Met a lovely girl called Susie, who I will be speaking to in advance of the February 16th birthday bash (again, pop in your diaries please). Some very very interesting ideas for catering. I'm crap at keeping surprises so no doubt you will find out before...but not just yet! I know, I'm a terrible tease.

So, I then called it at Currys at J27 (another favourite shopping Mecca) to get print cartridges, and walked out (well it will be arriving in a week) with a new telly. Gosh.

It is stunning and had been coveted the same model at Costco yesterday, but had tried to resist until after Christmas. Currys had slashed their price to significantly less, so it was a sign that I just had to follow.

The salesman was Vinnie, it was his first day and hour on the job. Vinnie is studying at Huddersfield Uni and is a semi-professional musician - drummer and percussionist. He has my card has he told me his girlfriend has found a website where you can rent designer handbags for an evening. Reckon I need that, instead of purchasing everything in sight.

I do hope you forgive me and what must seem like reckless spending. As my very very good and wise friend Tricia Clark - www.flyinghighcoaching.co.uk - said, I am actually attracting abundance, not debt.

Try it, gently does it though - am not encouraging debt of course, bad thing that. But I do encourage self-gifting and pampering and that doesn't have to cost a fortune. How much is a nice bath with some lavender oil in it, and a couple of candles?

You can also try attracting a parking space too - start small. Just ask, believe and receive. Take a deep breath, imagine yourself driving in to one. It works. Sometimes you might have to drive around once or twice, but it works. Believe me. Again www.thesecret.tv if you're intrigued.

One last thing before I get me glad rags on. Anyone know what it is about cats and paper? Why do they like sitting on it?

Squeak is improving at Durtnells - Mr Durtnell has nicknamed him 'Happy Shitty Kitty' and I can testify to the same as I visited him yesterday afternoon - I took a ball too, as the nurse said he was just wanting to play. He's free from FVL which brought about tears of relief and now on mega dose Metronidazole (anti-biotics). Failing that Mr Durtnell suggested a cork!

He could also be lactose-intolerant, which I'm slightly embarrassed to admit I am too. Tried to give it up, but the lack of cheese in my life made me so miserable and forced me to find other complementary supplements to help and can enjoy dairy again. Dairy free cheese is what evil must taste like - and it has about seven different, but increasingly repulsive, after-tastes. Wrong. Just wrong. It did make me discover soya milk though, which I actually prefer in coffee. Not in tea though. Yuck.

So, me and Connie have a lot in common too. Love of paper, pens, computers (oh yes, she's tried to assist with my writing quite frequently), tuna, things that are pink or purple. Her favourite toy is the 'Vibro-Mouse'. I shall say no more and leave you a punchline to knock in.

Lots of laughs
