Hurrah! I just saw the tooth fairy! Thor should be happy in the morning. I hate it when she needs to visit and beest is out of town. I think she's scared of me, or something.

Put up two palm tree muriels on the fence outside.
I tried and tried to resist any decorations for this Friday, but they were so cheap and so tempting.

Have promised myself that if Mum decides they are tacky (they are) and wants them down I will comply. And I won't sulk.
I will take a picture beforehand though.
And allow me some gentle mourning....?

My eBay purchases should start arriving tomorrow.
I. Am. Excited.
I suspect I buy from eBay for the sheer pleasure of getting things through the post. The fact that it really is the cheapest option (especially without a car - postage is usually cheaper than busfare) is just a happy coincidence

I remember when I was thought slightly old-fashioned and quirky for buying mail-order. But even then people would ask "Where did you get that?" I like the fact internet purchases have enlivened what is still effectively mail order. And people still ask me where I bought things....

You're a complete shopaholic. You need a job working in a props department somewhere.

Are you insane? SG, with an employee's discount?

Hmmmm.... good point. I was bad enough at Asda when I worked there. Imagine me with the ability to theme and decorate everything in my life!

As I opened this thread I was thinkg, "Don't tell me off Monnie!"
Phew. Ducked that bullet.

Everything has arrived except the habenero popcorn and the strawberry daiquiri mix - both of which Mum was sanctioned (and paid for). She hasn't seen the muriels yet as it's been raining...

Nah, I meant buying the props for plays/commercials etc, not selling them. bargain-hunting on a theme on someone else's budget? Perfect!

I lack the social skills for that kinda position.
I'd love to meet a party planner with an opening for a theme-crazy artistic decorator.
But I don't have the chutzpah to put myself out there.

Hey - if you know anyone looking for a submissive but creative partner willing to work for minimum wage plus leftovers let me know! Sadly that job pool encompasses Arts, Design and PR graduates...

This weekend I have done all the regular chores and dusted, swept, vacuumed and/or mopped the entire house, raked the driveway, took the roof racks off my car, and for good measure, covered the kitchen windows in bubble wrap.
