So I missed swimming today because I slept in and did not have time to go before I had to be at Lush in the Metrocentre at 11. (Yes I did have a set time to be a Lush XD) They had asked for volunteers on the local facebook page because they were launching their new perfume Tuca Tuca today (it's been available for a little while but the launch was today.) And I had said I would go - of course I said this before I knew what was wanted. The perfume is named after a dance. They wanted people to do the dance - I went along and learned the dance but due to the uneven number of people willing to dance I just ended up being a perfume spritzer. I was apparently the only person who committed on Facebook who actually turned up. (Speaks volumes about Facebook really.) There were not a lot of dancers which does not mean Gateshead has much change of winning the youtube hit contest unfortunately.

But it was fun and after I went for coffee with another regular customer who had come along to spritz. We each got a goody bag for volunteering. I was not expecting this and it was a nice surprise. Especially when I saw what was in it. It was about £50 worth of stuff! (Though this is in large part because Creme Anglaise is their priciest body and hand cream, so I never would have tried it if not for having a large tub of it for free.) And I have a small bottle of the perfume because that was in too - I like the perfume though I am not really a perfumey person. (I do not like the dance though the song is growing on me).

All in all a good day! And back to swimming tomorrow.

In the aid of spending less time messing around on the internet, (haha yeah right I know) I just did a massive flist cut. No-one is really missing out because I hardly ever post or interact with anyone on lj. But if anyone wants to be refriended just comment and I will.

Just a notice that I won't be around for a day or two due to a hospital appointment, tests and sedation (fun times).

Someone just came into our office and asked 'what floor is this?'

....


We have floor length windows

You can see the street outside and the cars going past.

We are right next to reception and the front door of the building.

We all stared at him and eventually someone told him ground. I don't think anyone believed he was really asking.

( Part 5 )

I am watching Alexander (sort of indirectly ashkitty fault, because she's an enabler)

I know it got panned review wise but I'm 40 mins in and I really like it.

But omg the terrible wig ahahah

I kind of really love that the actors playing young Alexander really look like Colin Farrell.
