Bargain Dress
In April I bought a dress from Primark for £5. I hate Primark but went in for a look and couldn’t resist the ‘bargain’. I wear it occasionally because my inner bargain hunter screams ‘it was only a fiver, look what I got for a fiver!’. I don’t even like it. It looks horrendous. I look like that girl from Willy Wonka’s factory who turned into a blueberry....

– BBC NEWS | Tom quits the Big Brother house
What an idiot. I don’t watch BB, only spot some dull headlines on BBC news. Is he serious? Walking out because he thinks people are deluded and stupid. He applied for Big Brother, not a MENSA conference. His statement clearly shows he was planning...

Benefits of Fabric Protection
As wonderful as it is to spend the evening surfing your favourite shop in your pyjamas with a glass (or ten) of wine, nothing beats wandering through a shop touching cushions and bouncing on seats. I would happily spend hours in furniture shops, There’s just one thing that puts me off: the salesman.
I’m still coming to terms with the hellish experience of walking around Reid...

Underlying Health Problems
This is scarier than swine flu. What do they mean by ‘underlying health problems’? Diabetes? Cancer? A bad cough in 1997? It’s all so vague.
The media coverage of swine flu is terrifying.

I'm Going Slightly Mad
I have an awful imagination. I don’t know if it prepares me for the worst or just makes me paranoid.
I was sitting in my car today outside a doctors surgery, waiting until nearer my appointment before I went in. There’s only so long I can sit in a doctors waiting room before I start to imagine particles of ill health swirling around my head.
I had two pairs of shoes in the car....

Dogsitting
I’m dog sitting a lovely wee gentleman tonight. He’s a lhaso apso called Jack.
I’ve spent the last few hours playing with him in the garden, feeding him, taking him for a walk, giving him treats, drying his feet and coat and generally keeping a eye on him.
I sit down on the sofa with Toni and he curls up at his feet. Typical!

When did common sense cease to exist?
My office received an email today from the people who look after our building:
Health & Safety – Friendly Reminder
Personal Hygiene. In order to keep the spreading of germs throughout the business centre we would like to remind all clients to wash their hands after using the toilets.
Obviously this is in reaction to the ‘swine flu’ situation. Supposedly 100,000 people per day...

Get a bit of sun about ye, lassie.
What is it about sunshine that urges people to tell me to ‘get a bit of colour’? Is there mass hysteria I’m missing out on where people feel the need to look tanned in the three weeks of sunshine we have?
I’m perfectly happy being pale. Granted, my legs could blind you at the beach if you’re not wearing appropriate eyewear, but I’m not one for fake tan or...

“I cannot be part of the public whoopla [sic],” she wrote on Twitter.”
– Elizabeth Taylor, saying she refused to speak in public about Michael Jackson… on twitter. WTF? That’s like saying “I absolutely refuse to say the word refuse”.
