We had a party after our wedding to try and get rid of some of the excess alcohol, but we ended up with MORE in the fridge after the party than when we started.

The same rules apply here. If you bring drinks to a party, whatever's left over goes to the house.

Agreed about the booze rule but why is the host(ess) always left with undrinkable drink which partygoers have finally got rid of by bringing it to a party... I am thinking Cyprus Dessert Wine. Oh my it's disgusting.

And this morning I sat down at my desk, barefoot as is usual and both feet imediately slid into a neat pile of cat sick. But I love her

Got up this morning to a fairly large pile of mail. Most of it Council stuff, but also some personal. One was clearly a Christmas card,my firstt by post; that got me thinking about Christmas, being broke etc. Then I saw one from the Inland Revenue, opened it and found a giro cheque for £39.40 (my working tax credits) brilliant! That's one present. I then opened what I thought was an envelope containing my bank statement....they're charging me £40 on 29th Dec, for having gone overdrawn last month by a few ££s.

*chuckles* c'est la vie.

lol so your about even!

................don't worry about being broke. You are not alone. We that are dusty in pockets try to carry the light of Christmas in our hearts don't we? It's either that or the alternative. 'humbug' and all.



Tomorrow , sometime before noon. I am getting satellite (sp?) television installed. Unless they ask me for a huge deposit of which they havn't yet so I think all systems are go.

Tomorrows my day off too.

I had a couple of glasses of free red wine last night
Spilled one down my top....

That's fine - clean top and clean bra for today
Ow, ow, ow - bra is hurting.....
Why?
Straps must be tangled or something
Tug, twist, tug
*SNAP*

Bra broken

Review of bras
- one with red wine stain smelling like a brewery
- one red Bra (to wear under white top? Hello!)
- one snapped one headed for bin
- oooh look, one nice lacy white one, wonder why I haven't worn that recently?

Have just had to remove the instrument of torture.
It was giving me double breasts all day (yes, cup size too small) and all I could do was keep tugging at it.
The wire has now eaten into me so much I had to employ mining equipment to remove it.

Lets hope my cape keeps me covered on the way home so unsuspecting strangers don't die from the curse of the untamed norks....

I remember when going home with your underwear in your pocket was the sign of a good night

My wife can slip out of her bra with out removing her shirt between the time she walks through the back door after work and makes it to the kitchen! She hates the damn things. Neat trick, kind of like Houdini.

My mom taught me how to do that - she does the same thing as your wife.

So do I. Unfortunately I dump them wherever I happen to be at the moment of success, and don't always manage to find and remove all of them before visitors arrive.

/yes, I am a slob.

Pretty sure my wife feels they are door-knob ornaments.

I do that, too monster. My mother used to throw them on the dining room table (we always ate in the kitchen). Never thought of putting them on a door knob, though. Only after washing to dry

The post at the bottom of the stairs is one place -unfortunately that's the first thing you see when you open the front door.

I also dump them on the floor right next to the computer. That's also where I dump all my paperwork. Dashing out to a meeting can lead to me finding a little surprise in my files when I get there. Ah well. Could be worse. Could be yesterdays knickers hanging out the bottom of one trouser leg. After a friend told me of that embarassment, I am careful to avoid that one.

SG, your review of bras was great. I think your collections is still better than mine.

I do the "bra off no shirt removal" thing too. Damn those things suck. Why don't we start burning them again? And stop shaving, and wearing pantyhose or high heels (cruel shoes, my ex used to say), stop plucking and waxing, no more perms or hair color, no botox, no thighmasters, or thongs.

What a wonderful world it would be.

Shawnee-got it in one!
I can't do the bra trick, nor can I do the bra-less days,I envy my friends who can go without. the trick is to find a brand that fits properly, so that you don't feel the bra anymore. I have found the best brand ever and I love my boobs because of it!

I love the word boobs
