Trauma

I'm sorry for the absence, I do hope I was missed in the blog world. I have been quite busy recently with family issues. The usual things involving rows, walk outs and mud slinging. Of course I won't be writing about it on my blog, that would be very uncouth of me.

I do have some pictures though which I will be sharing with you at a later date, and possibly a clip for the very fashionable You Tube. Sorry about all the swearing, I was practising for my next visit to QPR.

Well I was going to do a post about my Paris shopping trip which seems ages ago now.

The sad truth is dear reader, I feel I've let myself down.

I have been trying to tell myself that like so many things in life, it's about quality and not quantity (Gerald). But I can't help feeling I've failed.

Things looked hopeful at first, Paris had so many beautiful shops. I'd seen the recent photographs of darling Victoria doing it, why couldn't I?

Alas I was hopeless, the only thing I managed to purchase after a weekend shopping trip in Paris was a solitary tube of l' Occitane hand cream. To add insult to injury, I also lost the competition between my friends, on who would take the most shoes away with them.

Please don't mock me, I am seeking help for my condition on the internet.



My camera also broke, hence only 2 pictures taken from Pont des Arts.

There were some postives on my trip though, I did learn a little bit of French.

Tour Eiffel - Eiffel Tower
Le Train Blue - The Blue Train
Non - No
Taxi - Taxi
Croque Monsieur - Mr Bite
Croque Madame - Mrs Bite

I hope this is helpful to you next time you visit Paris, or Senegal.

Someone has also emailed me to ask where my H'scopes have gone. I will be looking at my astro charts shortly to find out.

ps - (2 hours later) just managed to purchase a pink cashmere shrug, a coat and a box of Prestat chocolates of the internet. Gosh, it feels like the trauma of Paris is almost behind me. x

    Phew - Thank goodness for the P.S. you really had me worried. It's that Euro to pounds conversion - very tricky.
    Hope the cashmere shrug helps you to shrug off the family issues.

    Hope you're ready for a spanking at Selhurst Park on Saturday - although Palace's recent run of form makes that more like innuendo than football punditry.

    I can't believe you couldn't shop in Paris, the euro is so cheap at the moment it makes you feel like its the January Sales all the time!

    Kaz - yes, hopefully soon I'll be back to my normal self.

    Mandarin orange - I'm sorry, but what a most impertinent thing to say!?

    Are you implying that Crystal Palace are a far more superior team than QPR?

    Wasn't the cringeworthy defeat(win)last time enough for you? (4 whole goals against your 2)

    Clearly not.

    I think we all know exactly what's going to happen on Saturday.

    Emma Bunton will get voted out of Strictly Come Dancing for wearing a hideous red and blue dress, sadly never a winning combo. :)

    Hello Murph - If you could see me park my car you would know the answer to that one.

    I think I'd go into hiding if i went to Paris and hardly bought anything? ;-)

    Hope 'the issues' right themselves somehow.

    Hello simon, I am very cool at the moment, the weather is awful here. Hope you are well and the weather is good in Oz. Sorry I'm British I like to talk about the weather.

    I want Myleen to win.

    Hello greavsie - yes it's not good, but I'm trying to stay positive. I have a workshop with Marks and Spencer tomorrow.

    The family stuff will probably blow over by 2009, thank you anyway.

    Spanking duly administered. If it were a two-legged cup tie, it would be 5-4 to Palace on aggregate. But I'm not one to gloat ... and it came as something of a surprise, truth be told ...

    Simon - 40 plus ouch, that doesn't sound too good. I'm glad you're ready with your hose.

    Ellee - I realise that now..

    Mandarin Orange - Well absolutely, I'm sure all the fans and players were utterly shocked.

    You simply never expect that sort of thing from a team like Crystal Palace.

    Probably best to put it down as a one off.
