    Vice have just written a response to that Glamour article which is kind of funny.

    It's funny I've noticed a huge difference between the UK and US versions of magazines such as glamour and cosmo. The above rubbish is much more prevalent in US mags. Sometimes in UK ones but nowhere near as bad.

    On a side note, isn't prevalent a lovely word? Rolls off the tongue.

    Twice in the last three months I'd have people contact me on linkedin saying I've been recommended and would I be interested in some part time contract work (I'm a self employed IT consultant)

    It sounds very big headed, but I'm seriously flattered that people do it.

    So annoyed :( While I'm not "looking" looking for a new car, I have been kinda keeping my eye out over the last while just incase the right car comes along. Seen one of my ideal cars online over the weekend, not a bad price on it, only a year old but needed to enquire and find out more. WAs getting excited about it though, seriously nice looking car!!
    Turns out "bearly driven" is 21,000 kms in a year. Full service history: the car actually hasn't been serviced, nothing done to it since it was bought. "in as new condition" : a number of scrapes, scratches and marks on it already in various places.
    A car like that - I would have it wrapped in cotton wool. My own car is 8 years old and barely a mark.
    The search (but I'm not really looking) continues.....

    I started writing another romance novel after a month of doing nothing. It feels really good to get words on the page again. I tricked myself into doing it by bringing my laptop to the pub and ordering a pint. The music is top notch, a mix of classic sixties rock and seventies funk. And I've managed to get 2,200 words out. Another 800 and I'll be absolutely delighted.

    Well it seems that I'm one of those people who don't eat after a break-up now. The pounds are dropping off. :)

    I've always been a Ben & Jerry's type girl in the past, so this is a nice change. I have plenty of weight to lose, so this unexpected development isn't a bad thing!

    Got invited to a wedding three weeks from yesterday tomorrow.

    Had a fab two outings with OH to find a dress.

    Found dress.

    Planning a fab day tomorrow to buy dress, get accessories, then go for afternoon tea :)

    Good times :)

    This weather :( on my day off too. Friday was no better and I was off that day too. I'm either surrounding by screaming children on my day off, or it's raining. I want to go cycling too *throws tantrum* :pac:

    For London loungers, its more like this weather :D Lovely and hot for Wembley this afternoon, and Arsenal won so I'm happy because I absolutely hate Chelsea.

    Dubs match was weird, result as expected but a bit strange towards the end!

    Tis! Awful sad. Awful sad.

    I need to stop quoting sminky shorts when out on group spins. Any time anyone calls "steady" I can be heard roaring "schlow down Tommy, ye're schtone mad for schpeed".

    On an aside, we're through to the cup final of the premier division of our tag rugby league! Only one loss through the whole league. Delighted. Hope we win now.

    Going to the afters of a wedding on Saturday. Need to be creative with my choice of attire due to horrific tan lines from cycling. Arms not too bad but legs are embarrassing. First time drinking in months. Myself and Mr Hendricks will be well acquainted by the end of the night :)

    I know that feeling. I've a to-do list a mile long. So today I've managed to clear my subscribed threads on boards, and message my sister about books. Productive, I am!

    Lads the lack of a proper dose of sunshine this "summer" is starting to get in on me a bit. Think I'll have to look into a few days in a sunshine spot in a couple of weeks.

    It's looking gorgeous this morning though so I'll definitely be getting out and about today.

    Do any of ye use a sunbed not for tanning but just for a dose of vitamin d / clearing bad skin? Actually do you even get the vitamin d from a sunbed?

    A friend of mine had a pretty bad skin condition a while ago so the dermatologist told her to use sunbeds in short bursts for a controlled period of time. I think it really helped her particular issue.

    I know that's not much help but there must be something in them!

    Bought a gorgeous 50s dress today. It's stunning on me and I do not compliment myself ever.

    It's sooo pretty.

    I'm trying to figure out where to wear it though :o
