Retail Therapy?

By Mieka Smiles on Jan 26, 10 02:53 PM

With the risk of sounding about 80, I'm going to have a bit of a rant about rubbish customer service.

Blue Monday

By Mieka Smiles on Jan 18, 10 03:00 PM

As I got ready for work this morning, I scoffed at all references to 'Blue Monday' on the radio.

Deal Breaker

By Mieka Smiles on Jan 13, 10 03:17 PM

After two obscene offers on our house, we've finally had a reasonable one. The terms, however, are a bit strange.

Dog Day Afternoon

By Mieka Smiles on Jan 12, 10 09:41 PM

Tonight it took two hours to get home. Two stinking hours. And it wasn't even on the nice train where you can plug in your laptop. It was on (as it will forever now be dubbed) The Dog Train.

Seeing as though I haven't updated my blog in a while, I thought I'd use being snowed in as an opportunity to touch base.

Just The Tonic

I came in from work the other night to be greeted by a pasty looking husband.

Fastened Up

My husband and I had a strange conversation the other night. It involved hair accessories.

"Are you wearing one of those clipinators tomorrow?" Chris enquired, referring to my outfit for a wedding the following day.

"A what-inator babe?" I asked, quite intrigued by his bizarre question.

By Mieka Smiles on Aug 19, 09 03:32 PM

"It's arrived!" exclaimed Chris, beaming as he opened the door to greet me from work.

"Great," I said, none too enthused by the gadget that will see me sidelined for at least a few months.
