Life is a Whirl


It is incredible to think that 5 days ago I was in my own little world plodding on wondering if Jigsaw would have a mid season sale on shortly - hey ho. Now I have an appointment with my "graphic designer" on Thursday at 1.00 - my "IT chap" is on the case for my website (http://www.pixiechics.co.uk/) and my "Stationer" has just picked up the design for my business cards - OH MY GOD. Of course true to form I am now re-organising, re-designing my whole wardrobe and embarking on a life changing diet as TV makes you two sizes bigger - not that I think the Media people will go that far, I mean its only an empty unit for heavens sake and I am only in for 7 weeks and 1 day.


What I haven't mentioned, and what I have kept quiet about for ages is that I was watching an interview with Noel Edmonds (you remember I had an addiction to Deal or No Deal over Christmas) - apparently he sent a Cosmic Wish List - I've done one!!!!!!! Did it 18 months ago - and for once I am saying nothing x

How to look good naked -

Tell you what Gok should be more explicit - e.g. when he tells you to have sexy underwear for the bedroom and heavy duty stuff to make you look stunningly gorgeous and to die for - what he forgets to add in is how the hell do you manage to do the swap over.

My dilemma on Saturday night therefore was ............I had this fine knit thing on from All Saints, you know the kind of off the wall things you get from there - anyway this "creation" could loosely go under the term of "frock" - I digress. Under this "frock" I had a pair of Trinny and Suzanna "magic knee length knickers" (although with my thighs the knee length kind of crept up and formed a band on the top of my leg) - I digress again. On top of the magic knickers I had a petticoat from Spanx - which took me an hour to get into.

The night went well, the drinks were flowing, Mr P was jubliant as his big engine was nearing completion...I digress again and thats going to be another blog........his hand hovering on my knee, creeping further up my leg until he came to the Magic Knee Length knicker bit which by this time had moved a further 2 inches up my leg and was in danger of cutting the circulation off ...he turned to me, smiled, had a knowing look and gave me a wink - bloody hell he only thought I had stockings and suspenders on ..........now girls how do you get out of that one?????????

Oh and its day 6 I think still no chocolate but the wine consumption has risen x

WOW

Pixie is back with more trials than tribulations! Happy New Year everyone and I hope to read all about it in the coming months.

Well - where do I start? Perhaps with the gorgeous chocolates from Marks and Spencer - thats a good a starting point as any. Four very plump gorgeously wrapped confections, crinkly wrapping paper in shimmering tones of chocolate - to die for. And what were they really? Oh dear me only bloody bath salts wrapped up to look like sodding chocolate - I ask you! What happened to the square Lily of the Valley bath cubes that you used to get ? - you knew where you were then!

And thats not all - after unwrapping and plonking in a swirling bath of steamy hot water - what happened - nothing! I gently stepped in and had a look, maybe these were faulty - maybe they were chocolates after all? No no - what had M & S done - they had only double wrapped the sodding things with cling film - cling film ?? why???

So visualise please a naked Pixie trying to luxuriate in a hot steamy bath with bubbles and the aroma of chocolate - the reality is - a naked Pixie trying to open the bath cubes (balls) with her teeth thereby managing to eat some of the disgusting concoction and once these balls were free of their wrappings - what happened? - well I was engulfed in cow manure - brown - smelly - disgusting cow manure (I exaggerate slightly) but if that was supposed to be a chocolate smelling treat - well need I say more.

For all of you who have been following the tale of the Tattoo - the girl child had it done and it was the quietest she had been in her life. I will try and take a picture of it and post it but its still a tad scabby - it looks good though.

Mr Pixie was in the bad books for awhile (amazing that - seeing he is on the other side of the world) but he has redeemed himself.

I of course got the usual presents - the best ones being the ones I actually bought for myself.

So I think thats it for now - I have also developed an addiction for Deal or No Deal and that is very worrying (?)

Hope everyone is ok.

Everyone needs a little...............

.................Booja-Booja

If you haven't yet tried this delectable delight then seek it out whilst stocks last!!!!

For those not in the "know" this is chocolate suitable for Vegans - DO NOT LET THAT PUT YOU OFF - it is only readily available at Easter and Christmas (and only in posh shops) but it is such a treat. I popped to Fenwicks today (reasonably posh shop in Newcastle) to buy coffee and came out with the following:-

A Newcastle United FC Advent Calendar
A box of After Eights
A large box of Booja Booja
A small advent calendar

and a pop up Christmas Card

A jar of Nescafe has therefore cost me £23.00

Bargain x
