Well, it’s taken over a week to get over the jet lag, although I think it was more about getting over lack of sleep. I’m not good with little/no sleep. I’ve made some rather large decisions - just need to get the action going– regarding work and play. Will keep you informed.
The weekend was pretty uneventful. I was supposed to be watching Pirates (Yum yum Johnny Depp with Paul, but he wasn’t well, Paul I mean, not Johnny!), so I did nothing Friday except drink a bottle of bubbles and finished reading the last Harry Potter – of course I’ve read it before, I just couldn’t remember any of it. That’s one of the perks of having a rubbish memory, you can watch films and read books again and again and you’re still surprised at the ending!
Saturday was nails, toes (gold minx to be exact – if you’re not familiar with them, they’re like foil with glue on the back which you stick on your toes … very effective … Katy Perry, Beyonce and those types have them) and hair. Feel much better now. Almost back to normal. Sunday was a write off. I did mean to go to the gym and at least do some ironing, however, I seemed to get stuck by invisible glue (or it could be sticky, spilt/congealed wine from Friday) to my couch and didn’t move all day … tell a lie, I did pop to Asda for food, but you can’t count that.
So that’s my holiday and first week back. Looking forward to seeing Tom Jones this weekend … I gotta tell you a quick story before I go … I went to see Tom Jones years ago (can’t even remember where, but he was already getting on a bit). He was on one of those centre stages, you know the ones where the audience is all round, well he had his back to us and wiggled his bum in a kind of geriatric jiggle … however, far after the song was over, his bum carried on wiggling … and not in a good way! I’m scarred for life I tell ya! Scarred for life! Saturday should be fun though. Apart from that, not much planned for this week … other than the gym … groan.
Oh and the sales are on and for the first time ever, I’ve decided to give em a miss! Yes, you read right … I’m not doing the sales this year … and Selfridges sale is on and I’m working in Manchester City Centre! How good am I? Hmmmm we’ll see.
Hope you’re all having a good week J
Lots of love

PS Ooooo, I’ve just remembered another little bit from my hols. There was a lady in my second week that did nothing but moan. You know the type, it’s too hot, my arms are too big, men are b*stards, my life’s a mess; I’m too fat bla bla bla. OMG … I try to be as positive as possible (sometimes I don’t find it easy, but it doesn’t stop me trying) and find it really hard to be around constantly negative people without their negativity rubbing off … so I try to avoid them like the plague! This woman was like a flamin’ Dementor … if you sat with her for more than 5 minutes and you could feel all the hope and happiness draining from you – she just kinda sucked it out. When I asked what she did for a living … counselling! Could you imagine? I wonder what her survival rate is. Nightmare! (FYI I think Michelle, who I mentioned in an earlier post) would probably disagree with me over this … she’s much nicer and far more tolerant than me :-)
PPS – Watch out for my holiday Top Tips! Loads of people (honestly, loads!) have asked me to write them down – I’ve got a top tip for just about everything :-) - so I will do. I’ve half written it so I'll post the blog later in the week.
