Ha ha... just realised something. It's been really quiet the last few weeks, with my email. I've not really had the floods of stuff I usually have.
I've just realised what it is, the spammers must be on their hols, because I've not had anything about increasing the size of my you-know-what for a few weeks now.
Oh right, funny. I just got one then - typical isn't it?
Do you know how much time is wasted checking spam filters, deleting the ones that got through & generally wasting time on the ones which you read because they make you laugh!? To be fair, they must have a wicked sense of humour...
On go on, come back off your hols 'bigger-bits' people, you make me laugh... what a bunch of expletives.
Rant over... have a good one Busy Girls

Why keep changing the layout Tescos?
21st August 2007
Uh. What have they done to Tescos? I'm a Busy Girl, as you, and I need my supermarket to be sympathetic to my needs - that means not changing everything around continually for 8 weeks, so I don't know whether I'm in the fruit and veg section or supposed to be buying Tuna. Goodness me. I've just had the most stressful shopping trip ever, all over loo roll and mayonnaise. I don't know about you Busy Girls, but I need things to be in a 'grab 'em quick' spot, so I can almost unconsciously run down the aisle, and pop the usual into the trolley on autopilot.
It seems they have decided to 'upgrade', which means changing every single aisle round, cutting off bits and adding new bits, slicing walls in half and adding an extra floor - I think this signifies the start of real shopping hell. They're going to add a whole second floor to what is already the busiest store in the world. Great stuff.
I'm definitely wishing that I had some smaller, independents a little closer to home, so I could get things easier, but I guess that's the whole point of these big supermarkets - they're easy, aren't they!? I mean, I've definitely been known to pop out for some sweet chilli sauce and come home with a new top, some tights and a new mascara. It makes life too easy, being able to pop down to a buy-it-all haven.
So, it's been a while since I've blogged, well it has been the hols - I've definitely had a few too many lazy days recently. It's just that when everyone else is away, you really struggle to keep up the pace, don't you. Not to say it hasn't been a busy August, just a tad quieter.
My Busy Friends, it is time for me to go now, and have some dinner (if I have anything worth eating from my ridiculous haul earlier). I'm off for some stir fry. Oh, yes, I got some new GHDs, you'll be pleased to know. You don't realise quite how much you need them until they break down on you. Rather like men and cars...
Until next time - lots of love

My GHDs died! The trials of being a frazzled Busy Girl!
3rd August 2007
My GHDs have just died. You know what a nightmare this is for me now - after 4 years of loyal service, they've just totally died on me... in the most uncivilised way, too. Suddenly I could feel scraping down my hair - I looked at them, and they they were, snatching handfuls of hair out, amongst big gaping cracks between the ceramic plate and the plastic.
Nice.
Had proper panic - I can't go downstairs with half frizzy, half straight hair - I'm supposed to be going out! Luckily, they have bound together a little with the heat, so I managed to finish the mop off, but I'm going to have to bite the bullet and get some new ones yet. I had to tell you, it's not like himself would understand...
Anyway, off out now with my half chewed, slightly frizzy mop... now all I need is some rain and I'm sorted.
Have a good one Busy Girls - until later

A weekend of sun! Oh joy - I actually thought I was going mad last week - as I was getting used to having wet feet, wet hair & generally looking like a total mess, even after an hour of dressing effort. But, like a juxtaposed joke, just as I got used to it, the sun came back! I don't know about you but at first I wasn't very impressed - I mean, I have all my black tights & boots out now. Just as I've been planning a weekend away in the sun, out he comes, in all his glory.
It's been a great weekend though - busy in the garden generally, taking in the rays and sorting out everything that has overgrown and gone totally mad in the last few weeks of rainy solitude.
Have you been shopping lately? It seems the stores have been going totally mad with their sales - apparently Harvey Nicks were selling off the most amazing Jimmy Choos for less than £100 because the season has been so changeable and the summer stock needed shifting... how fabulous is that? Can't believe I didn't get in there early enough - note to self, get to the shops on time next season sale!
According to our stylist, Martine, the shops are stocking short season items nowadays so you have to snap up things you like because they're not hanging around - I thought her article was really interesting... whatever next?
So, happily I didn't have to munch on a roast dinner tonight, because the sun's been out again and I've been back on the salad. The only thing is though, my skin seems to be taking a battering - I'm not sure if it's the weather or what -I seem to be going through a combination of dry, then oily skin, spots and then no spots but dry skin again. I keep changing my moisturiser, but not sure that's the answer really.
To make matters worse, when I got my legs out in the garden in the vague attempt at some suntanning I had remnants of fake tan all over my ankles and knees - oh, how attractive. The things we do to try to look attractive, it's funny really.
Oh dear, I can see you all now - imagining this confused looking Girl with her trousers round her knees, orange streaky legs and funny spotty face (you're probably not far off!).
Am off to eat potato wedges, Busy Girls, it's gone cool this evening again, you see!
Catch you soon Busy Girls, love from
