Hit the new John Lewis today

The new big one in Cardiff. Highlight of the day was definitely the Dyson hand dryers in the loos.

I managed to spend £122 which was a bit unexpected... I got...

8 Christmas napkin rings
2 bottles of OPI
1 bottle of Nails Inc
1 cuticle stick
1 tube of cuticle oil
1 bag of sweets
A footstool making kit for my mother for Christmas

I resisted cushions, wallpaper with collies on it, hats, slippers, clothes...

Also ended up getting a few lucky bags from Claire's. Several scarves, a hat, earrings, loads of stuff for my nieces... Not too bad...

Exhausted now though. Just did my nails so will now rest while I google random crap...

The best ending to any film ever!

Feel like being a bitch today...

So I'd better wear my bitch shoes.

Been up for the last three hours tidying my house. Trying to streamline in time for Christmas.

Got a refund for the broken seahorse bracelet I got off ebay a couple of weeks ago. The seller is now demanding I withdraw my feedback. She must be kidding... I have also started a dispute over the broken Betsey Johnson heart bracelet I received. AND I am having to chase two other Betsey bracelets I bought over a month ago that have still not arrived. I hate scammers.

I also currently hate Craig Olejnik fans that spam my blog. Sod off and get a life.

And I understand why celebrities can be so arsey with the media. This whole thing about my mom being mugged is getting out of control. She's done this interview for a magazine and they have just totally made up their own version of what happened. What is the point? It was a good story without all their vacuous bullshit. I used to put up with crap like that when I worked in the music industry but I chose to put myself in that situation. It's all bollocks.

I have totally cut my ex out of my life. I am too old to care what he thinks anymore.

Trying to decide if I should buy some winter boots. I do need them but they are expensive... as is the military-style coat I am looking at...

Grr.

The week in summination...

Worked 60 hours this week.

Took my niece for a manicure and lunch for her birthday. The manicure was very good except the nail varnish never dried and five hours later, I was still damaging it whenever I touched anything. Lunch was at Ask. So easy to spend 50 quid without even realising. My niece loved it, though.

Of course, we saw We Will Rock You.

Received a huge order from the Japanese Store in London made up of Ramune, Pocky, miso, Asahi, and shunji.

I'm so off ebay right now. I've bought several Betsey Johnson pieces from the States that have turned out to be broken old crap. Can't return it without sending it international signed for either and that costs a small fortune. Leaving a lot of negative feedback and limiting myself to buying just from within Europe now. Also, they've stuck me for import duty 3 times this week. I don't mind the duty but I do mind the Royal Mail £8 handling charge each time. Bastards.

Reading a lot.

Uni starts soon. Yay!

Am greatly increasing my Rudolph Valentino memorabilia collection.

My ex is pissing me off beyond belief. Why should I come running every time he snaps his fingers?

That bloke that mugged my mom was due up in court on Wednesday but he jumped bail. He's so in the shit when he gets caught. She's finally chosen the magazine to be interviewd by so we are just waiting for the contract to come through.

Really must finish my book about Valentino one of these days...

I'm sorry, at what point in our relationship did you take the arsehole pill?

Just got back from We Will Rock You in Bristol. God I hate Ben Elton with a passion but it was an acceptable show and I spent most of the night thinking Jonathan Wilkes was Tony Hadley...

And if that really was Rufus Taylor on the drums (I doubt it because it didn't look like him...), then I am so having a three-way with him and his dad...

Patrick Swayze

RIP

Wow

My elderly mother got mugged today.

She chased down the guy and pounded on him til the police arrived.

Good for her.
