I went for a preview of this movie and thoroughly enjoyed it! It was about the princesses night out on the town on V.E (Victory in Europe) day, which was a celebration to mark the end of the second world war. Hard to believe that it is almost seventy years on!
Funny and entertaining and worth a watch. Most of the time I find when I don't see the trailer, I enjoy the movie a whole lot more! I was hoping to recognise something inside Buckingham Palace...we did that summer tour and thanks to my darling mum, got to ride a wee-bit outback. Much to my dismay though, I remembered nothing! It was as if I had seen the centuries old decor, painted walls, grand staircase for the first time...ahh I console myself; it must have been some part of the palace that is not open to the public. This is a spoiler alert, but I have to say it. My friend cracked me up after whispering, "I didn't know they used the front entrance..."

Bug-a-boo
Okay, I shall take my OCD to the next level now...you just never know when the critters will creep up on you really, but they are affecting people pretty close to me. I was horrified about the latest saga of discovering I may be displaced from where I live due to that tiny speck of dust that could turn out to be one's worst nightmare..the humble bedbug. Thankfully...it glossed over me...I say this loftily, mostly due to my OCD tendencies...I am a bit I'd say, but not OTT. Either that or it is divine
intervention that I have escaped.
The mini vampires are not indicative of cleaniliness levels I have read...whew that is a relief...it could literally happen to anyone. Luggage is one way! I won't become more paranoid now...I won't become more paranoid now...what I mean to say is I shouldn't become more paranoid now...I mean I come across luggage almost everyday, and doing the mad skip and dance to avoid that hurried traveller from brushing their luggage against me as they haul it onto the Picadilly line on their way to, or from, Heathrow, is exhausting. I can't exactly burn my clothes everday either. I'd need loads of bucks to buy a new outfit everyday...hmmm, that would be nice!
Naturally prevention is better than cure, but fumigation is essential once they are in, that and throwing out everything(well within reason) and washing on 60 degrees celcius...I wanted to try 90 degrees, but the darn washing machine wouldn't allow me to go off the charts.
I am trying to read extensively on preventive measures anyway; sprinkling crystal silica gel on the floor, cleaning products with tea tree oil...I best go and run out and get some!

Daylight Robbery...
I was wondering why my phone bill was higher than it normally should have been and discovered that Virgin was charging me for those cute emoticons I have been sending on my text messages...can you believe that???
Yes, I am talking about you, Mr Smiley Face, you guilty culprit, costing me 40p a pop. What the hell is mms or whatever? Apparently smart phones are supersmart, they convert smiley faces to mms'es, I think...all that techno mumbo jumbo was giving me a headache, but credit to Virgin, they refunded me the money, and advised me not to send a smiley face, via text messaging, unless it is this one!:)

Tools of the Trade
So I went one whole week without my laptop, not from some bet that I took with someone whereby I emphatically declared that I could go for a whole week without one, but because it blacked out, and I thought it was dying a slow and painful death (more painful for me than for it). Good to know IT people who know what they are doing by the way:)
I had no idea what I was in for...living without a laptop is really hard! It seems like our dependency on some technological gadget or the other is a necessity these days. I was left wondering what life was like before I had one!
Day 1 was hard, Day 2 was even harder, but I suppose I got by because I still had access to that wonderful thing called a smartphone. By Day 5 though, I had learnt to adapt without it --> hard, but not impossible.Truth of the matter is, I put pen to paper, but missed the clicketity clicking on the keyboard.
Glad you are back laptop and kudos to my friend who helped you get up and running again!
