Normal Service?

Due to a technical glitch I have been without internet access and a washing machine for the past few days. I initially thought the loss of the washing machine would be the hardest to cope without - but I have found the loss of my means of communication harder than I thought.

I remember a friend saying that she couldnt cope without her dishwasher in the days when such a thing was a luxury item - (10 years ago) I immediately disagreed and said I could manage fine - as I didn't have one then - but couldnt give up my washing machine. This is still true - I guess you don't miss what you never have.... Although the growing mountain of laundry says otherwise and its nice to catch up on everyones lives and the world via the net.

What (the hell) to wear ??....

I think that Trinny and Suzanna need to publish a new book for us girls who fret about what to wear for a night out - especially a special one (night that is!).
A simple guide....etiquette style i.e Christmas Party attire = Little Black dress,Black or flesh coloured hosiery, Black or Red shoes and hand or clutch bag etc etc ... would be worth its weight in gold. A little pocket sized guide that we could refer to in times of wardrobe and/or confidence crisis would be a god-send.

I think I feel a project coming on .....how about 'Mrs Kate's Guide to Dressing with confidence'? (Sod Trinny & Suzanna - they are too stuck up and rich as it is)
What do you think .....I think I may have discovered my pension Plan!

Furry cats

Came across this little gem the other day - thought you might enjoy it



WHAT IS A CAT?

Cats can be difficult to get along with
but they can be very loveable when they are in a good mood
They expect to well looked after - if not they
will find someone elseto live with.....
When you want to play they want to sleep
When you want to sleep they want to play
They are moody and leave hair everywhere
Conclusion

.....They are tiny women in fur coats!

The Taming?? Of The Shrew!!!

Well its been an interesting week on I'm a Celeb. Jordan has been put through her paces and it took a hell of alot of punishment to break down her ego - If indeed it has been broken....It made difficult viewing at times and the evil twins (Ant & Dec)Seemed to revel in piling on the punishment.

I hope she is genuine in her wish to spend more time with her kids - but I have a feeling she will soon forget. How cruel of her to dump the poor dope (who had apparently flown out to propose to her) live on TV. I hope she is genuine in her wish to spend more time with her kids and away from the spotlight- but I have a feeling it won't be long until she does another 'exclusive' in Hello mag.

The Law Of The Jungle

Well tonight's I'm a Celebrity should be pretty explosive as the most evil and vicious wild animal known to man will be invading the camp. This wild animal is so deadly that poor old Peter Andree has abandoned his post and run a mile (well 1/2 million miles and who can blame him?

I am of course referring to the thing that is Jordan....the question is Why......well obviously she is being paid a ridiculous fee and it makes good TV.....but I would question the moral issues. Jordan is obviously mentally unstable - and will do anything to win even if it means destroying the people around her.

I have a feeling that she will meet her match in Sam Fox (Hopefully) - I just hope she will go away and concentrate on being a half-decent human being.

I caught the end of last's night show and thought that 'Gorgeous' George Hamilton and Kim the 'Cleaning Lady' were hilarious - a great if unlikely double act.

Christmas is Coming!!

I had my first Christmas lunch today and its not even December! I love all the Christmas food even the sprouts!!
The shops are full of Christmas fayre and M&S were offering some great deals on mince pies,mulled wine and turkish delight yum,yum.
Hopefully this will be the first of many I am booked up for 2 so far but I am sure I can manage to fit some more in. All offers will be gratefully received and accepted.

Horrid Halloween

Last night saw us out in the village with Tina, Mandy and Mr & Mrs Emma who had made a mad heroic dash up the motorway to indulge in the spectacle that is Halloween. The village itself was extremely busy and all the pubs and clubs were heaving with all manner of gory fancy dress spectacles. Eden was thankfully fairly quiet and we met up with the girls and were delighted to be joined by Jenny J and Marilyn and later the lovely Marlene.
We did chuckle at the irony that none of us had 'dressed-up' in Halloween costumes and to the out-sider it would appear that none of us had bothered to 'dress-up' little do they know!
The award for outrageous dressing for the night go to Emma for the shortest skirt this side of decency and to Kate for managing to walk in the worlds tallest killer heels (5" shoe boots).

At one point in the evening in Spirit which was packed out -Tina and I attempted to head for the ladies room and had to push our way through the crowds at one point our path was blocked by a guy dressed as a marsh-mallow and another one as a bananna......as Tina said "Follow that bannana"!

We ended the evening in a packed Naps where all of the worlds tallest T-Girls were in attendance...one of them dressed as a bride with a slashed throat turned my stomach as did a few of the costumes - it was just too weird.

For me Halloweeen is a time to be avoided - especially for children my memories of Halloween back in my distant childhood are quite innocent and mainly comprise of bobbing for apples and dressing as witches but it always an organised indoor party - never calling door to door intimidating people which is sadly what it has become in some parts.

Glad its all over for another year.....Just need to get bon-fure Night over then it will be time to slip into Christmas overdrive.
