| I also won this glass cat, many years ago on the Celebrity Eclipse. |
I received an email last week from the Postcode lottery congratulating me on winning a prize. Oh joy of joys, confetti and streamers erupted in my mind, my euphoria soon turned to despair when I discovered it wasn't a life changing amount of cash at all but an actual gift, the sort you see in a seaside bingo parlour, I clicked the button inviting me to browse their selection of prizes, there was a lot to choose from including L'occitane products, 'sea socks' whatever they are, headphones for drowning out the maid's goings-on, hairdryers, the list was endless I pondered my options and after careful consideration I opted for a rechargeable, cordless, hot water bottle RRP £14.99.
It brings back happy memories of Sale Of The Century with Nicholas Parsons. Our Mam loved it - she'd have a notebook on the go, guessing all the prices and everything! Jx
ReplyDeletePS Speaking of "Mams", have you given Smoggie Qeens a watch yet? We thought it was bang on the nail.
I wonder if it's still 1983 in Norwich, it was when I last visited in the late 90s. No I haven't had the pleasure of watching Smoggie Queens yet, I will of course add it to my viewing list. Thanks to you, the maid and I have got stuck into watching full episodes of The Love Boat via Youtube on the telly, it's good quality too, it's like watching a DVD though it's a bit vomit inducing at times and the maid often interrupts the viewing to show me a picture of cast members and how they look now, aww poor Julie. I'm also watching and enjoying the old Worzel Gummidge with the wonderfully bitchy Aunt Sally. I'm living in a time warp and I can't get out!
DeleteI'll have a bloody mam, gerbil smoothie! I glut watched it last night. I too thought Elaine looked like Michelle Visage.
DeleteFunny that, since it was her.
DeleteIt's a faboo series so far - we're not binge-watching, we're doing one episode at a time... Jx
I might run a competition to get rid of my tat - winner collects.

That's a good idea or better still go on the Yorkshire Auction House with the lovely Angus Ashworth, he's a bit fat for my liking but I'd let him rummage through my drawers for a few quid!
DeleteI'm so sorry, I can't stick around, I have to go Google "sea socks".
ReplyDeleteNot to be confused with swim socks that overly concerned people wear in communal swimming pools to protect themselves from veruccas etc. No, these socks are made from washed up fishing nets, can you believe that? Nylon basically and what happens if you wear nylon socks, your feet will start to stink. Wear 100% cotton and you will never have smelly feet.
ReplyDeleteHave you considered replacing the hot water with vodka?
ReplyDeleteSadly, it's permanently sealed so no risk of scalding, it's the nanny state we live in. Have you ever drank from a hottie? I have (don't ask) and I can tell you it tastes rank. I showed the maid my gift telling her that I'm officially middle aged, she looked at me gimlet eyed and told me I've been middle aged for the past 10 years! Such a cruel tongue.
