Wow am I first!

Totally with you on that one Christophe and the same with some men and aftershave - much too overpowering. Less is best!

Darce x

CLP - I agree with you 100%

As someone who is allergic to most perfumes it really irriates me when you walk into a ladies bathroom and come out smelling like a whorehouse - why do they spray it so liberally - have a bath instead

Super bp x

Quite, Christophe, quite. I'm sure some people think it's bath oil, not perfume... And please note, it's not just ladies of the female persuasion - some men need to take the hint too. But how to say it without offending? And is BO even worse?

Anyhoo, hello to all bloggers. I've been absinthe for some time, but no note from my parents I'm afraid. And not a bike shed in sight...

No real news to report from a dull and muggy Leeds, I'm afraid, other than crashing the car! Which means no reduction in insurance next year, no 'no claims' bonus and no weekends away ever again (the money will have to come out of the going away fund...), but I'm alive, and the ambulance I saw on the way to the garage wasn't for me.

Hope everyone's fine and dandy. If anyone needs, or even just would like, a hug, please line up on left - mine or yours!

...there is a line in a book...I forget which book...but it was something like...'I always remember the smell of Granny...but it was like she was standing in a cloud of Tweed...'

My cat used to come home smelling of Tweed when she used to bunk in the old lady's flat up the road.

Anyhoo, I sympathise with you Christophe, I only smother myself in a delishus aroma when I'm going out, and highly unlikely to be meeting any small children.

For day wear, a light spritz of Aromatics or Eau Dynamisante (other light spritzing delights available) usually does the trick!

In the meantime, I'd stop handing him over for cuddles if I were you...or train him to sneeze or coff at the appropriate point so the cuddler would prefer not to. Cuddle, that is...

I had a LUVVLY holiday!!!
love

Thank you lovely mummy xx

Could not agree with you more Chris, as they say, a bath or a shower is better, with perfume for special nights out. Poor Noah, hope he recovered OK, a cuddle from mummy or daddy probably did the trick.

Been absent from the blog for a while, but have been lurking when possible, so have pretty much kept myself up to date on all the bloggers news.

Sun is shining, it's going to be lovely few days, so smile everyone. xx

Ah, flower, so sorry to hear about your car!

...and SBeep, I went into the shop next door to Miss Selfridge, and came out smelling like a Warehouse...

Hello CLP - clouds of perfum and boy perfum are not good - now a gentle wiff of something as someone gawjus walks past - well that is somethink different altogether!

Can I ask all the loverly blog peeps a favour? Can you all please cross something as I have decided to apply for a 'proper' job - this freelance stuff is too scary in these current times.

So I have taken the bull by the horns and gone for the biggest job I would ever have in my life so far - well start at the top and work my way down I reckon!

Morning Chief Lambster!

Ugh! Don't get me started ......

I used to love Davidov's Cool Water For Women. Then I went on a training course and sat next to a woman who kept spritzing herself with it every10 minutes or so. By lunchtime I was ready to vom into the vol au vents, and first thing I did when I got home that night was bin my bottle of Cool Water. Even the thought of it now .... ugh!


Anyhood, my day is getting betterer and betterer: lovely msg on FaceAche from a friend, then the Ray Bans arrive and then lady boss gives me a bottle of Russian voddy from her travels (don't tell Rips - he may want to share!)

How good can life get!?!?!

Lovin' your work.

...jelibeybi, I don't know if you're having a wee jokey, or if you akshully did miss my gazillion posts about me going on hols...but I went to Crete...my lovely mummy took me for a lovely treat, and we had the most spiffy time doing b all, and having the occasional G&T...

We had housemartins nesting in the roof above our balcony and could hear the babies cheeping...was all very lovely!

DEB + + + + for you x

Morning Chris,

As Sir Tel would say looks like you are leaning against an open door on this one...or something like that!

Totally agree, can't stand strong perfume, like Deev it makes me want to vom! But agree with Debs2 nothing like a nice wiff of something if someone hunky walks by!

Teenagers today seem to drench themselves in stuff and when they walk past you, you walk in their haze and it lingers on you for hours afterwards.

I like a nice subtle perfume and I recently treated myself to a new one a Duty Free the other week, and right lovely it was too.

Gerogeous day here in Kent, why I'm stuck in an office I'll never know - oh yes to pay the mortgage!

Love
AliB

Good Morning Chris,

yeh, agree about the perfume, although sometimes it's nice to wear to make you fell like a million dollars!!!

Bad breath - Just keep well away!!!!!

Debs - Good Luck, fingers and toes crossed!

AF - I'm waiting in line for that HUG, Hon.

Love you guys,
Madi

Morning bloggers and schloggers,

Chris for once (not for the first time) I completely agree with you! Although with the modern man they can be just as bad (not worse of course!) with all of the cosmetics that are available to us. Let us not get carried away with the adverts for Lynx as they do not do what they say on the tin!

My good lady is a Channel No5 girl which I have to say I like (on her) in small doses. Even that when first applied is overpowering. Once I have calmed down I am fine. ;-))

Clodagh, loving your work. xx

Madi, dont worry I do keep smilingeven at the nasty people (of which there are many just not as many as good folk) as I find they do not like it at all. ;-)) xx

Ms Love welcome back! Xx

Keep smiling (ah gowan you know you want to!)

Keith

Thanks Hazel, madi and aliB

it means a lot to know that lovely people are 'rooting' for you

Hazel - glad you had a fab hols - cant say I noticed you mentioning it before you went (!) LOL

Jelibeybi - you make me giggle - I love it - housemartini's - shaken not stirred I hope!

PS - Deevs - get you all raybaned up!

Hi Smiling Deevs - from previous page - ever thought of writing songs???? I loved George Harrison too, was really interested in that whole Indian thing, when I was a teenager. I don't think he wrote Dear Prudence. It was a Lennon/McCartney or was it a McCartney/Lennon!! I don't think they were writing together then, we used to try to guess who wrote what. I think this one was a John special.

Just got my third cup of coffee, quite an addict.

Pee ess - the job I am going for is a UK Head of Recruitment - I know why they need one now - just had an automated reply to say they will get back within 21 - YES 21 days!

let me at their recruitment processes for goodness sakes!

Morning all from very warm and sunny Midlands.
Just popped on to see CLP's comments and will be back later.

Yuk - totally agree - over smell is just disgusting.

Baggy I am sure you have commented cos you are 'lergic aren't you but I rarely wear any and have to watch which I try - my skin turns said stuff to resemble smelly socks!!!!

Someone should tell these folk the idea of perfume is that someone moves closer to you not backs off !!!!!

Beezer xxx
up to ears in work/ emails / etc etc etc aaaargh!!!!

Dear me, this catching up business takes a while!!

So, from yesterday's blog (I can't catch up on everything, I'm going home at 4!):

Tins, so glad you had a good time away with the other half, must be great to be so loved up, long may it continue!

TB #19 - I started getting on with my parents when I left home, so you might have a wee while to wait!

Debs2 #31 - eh??

Pip #45 - did you tell the landlord? If not, get that letter off girl!!

Lyndyloo, how's bump?

Margot #56, good luck with the health challenge, hope we'll see you back soon x

Puff, didn't realise you were moving to France - 'citing eh??

Debbie, hello lovely lady!

Rips #114 - "socially relaxed as a Newt" - pmsl!!

Deev, the courtesy car has a CD player - I've been listening to the one you sent at Christmas, it's a cracker!! Does feel slightly odd listening to Let It Snow in June though...

Clodagh #129 - stawberry Mivvi *drifts off into the golden years of childhood*

Debs2, sweetheart, got everything crossed for you, you'd be an asset anywhere xx

AF xx

Hi Chris,

I do agree - some people just overdo it! And if someone asks to hold your baby, it's very difficult to say no! Other than being brutal, we just have to put up with people and their smells.

Unless, of course, you are my ex-boss who sent one of his employees home and told her to come back when she had solved her "severe B.O. problem". (no, it wasn't me!!). She returned two days later - after calming down from the humiliation - and there was never a trace of any smell from her, ever again!

Clodagh (from previous blog): look no further, contracts being taken out as we speak! And, yes, you are quite right about the flirting thing. It can backfire quite spectacularly, but don't beat yourself up about it - it takes two to tango.

Hazel: great to see you back - how lovely you had a wonderful time with your mum!

Debs: you are quite right to rant: these people need you - now!

C xx

AF - I agree about catching up. I could spend the whole day on this 'ere blog!!!

Bingo - CLP and Tash - definite SOULMATES - don't really believe all that star stuff, but sometimes it's just so true!!! Agree with you about baby number two - nice to have them close together - mine are 20 months apart - so Tash start working on it.

Bingo - we need you in no.10

Deevs - enjoy that vodka and tonic (not a diet one) with lemon and ice.

Big Chief CLP . . .

V good - especially in an office environment - usually after luchtime this becomes more apparent . .

Anyways, Christmas is only 185 days away . . . .

and counting . . .

DtM x

Daniel, stop that this instant!!

Oh Daniel, I'm counting the days until Christmas with you.

Morning all! another lovely day here!

Christophe - with you all the way on this one! babies should smell of babies and not perfume or (even WORSE) stale fag smoke! i know someone who says "but i only smoke outdoors and not near the baby" and it drives me MAD!!

too much perfume is hideous i agree - and so are those which just give you a headache. Mr CG always wears the same one which i really like - whenever he has gone for a different one it gets binned after a while cos either me or him doesn't like it!

right, off to do some proper work!
(Hazel - not all us locums read magazines! some look at blogs too!!)

CG XX

Morning my lovelies!!

Hazel, how lovely to have you back. Did Badger behave himself??

Debs - everything crossed - but for 21 days??????? Might lead to circulatory problems I fear!!

Perfume - me and daughter sat next to a woman on a plane once who had doused herself in something revolting to try and disguise the fact that she'd been drinking and not washing for 2 weeks I think. The combination of all 3 was worse than the worst smelly smell you could possibly smell. We asked if we could change seats but no joy, so we had to spend the whole flight (about 3 hours) with our hands over our noses. I still can't smell that smell without wanting to heave!

Loving the women's minute grunting by the way - hilarious!!!

T xxxx

LOL!!!

AF - I listened to that playlist on the beach in Thassos - All I Want For Christmas, Let It Snow and Baby Its Cold Outside whilst baking on a beach at 80 degrees!

Its my intention to do one every year, so join DtM in the Countdown ... Divalicious II will soon be on your doormat!!

Debs2 - good luck with the recruitment process hon. All crossed for you. Maybe TT will give you a reference - you must be on first name terms with the chaps by now?!?!

Madi - was thinking of a vodka and lime over ice. That lovely feeling of the alcohol as it hits the back of your throat .... yum yum!!

ALiB - I spent a small fortune of perfume in Duty Free en route to Greece, and am now all stocked up on CKOne and Gauliter Classique Woman. My faves!

Has anyone sniffled the new Diesel fragrance for men - I think its called Only The Brave .... phwoar!!!! Very nice indeedy!!!!

Howdie doodie to everyone else - you are all fantabulous dahlinks, yes, even YOU!

Back to grindstone ....

Deevster
x x x x x

Can i add my own personal countdown?

its minus 2 months to the wedding!

Christoff Lambie Pie dear heart I absolutely 100% completely and utterly agree with you and would like to be associated with the remarks of the genius speaker.

I HATE when you go into the posh nob stores- and yes, Haemorrhage's is one of the worst offenders- and you get approached by some Danny La Rue lookalike wielding a bottle of what smells like sarin and offers it to you with the enthusiasm of somebody fending off a 10kg. angry wasp. And if you're not concentratin' you get it ZAP full in the mazzard and end up smellin' like Toilet Duck for the rest of the day. GRRR grrrumph grrrr.

Same with the aftershave. And this reminds me of the marvellous gaffe that the ex-hubby made many years ago but has never been allowed to forget; upon our return home from a dinner party thrown by some congenial guests, he screwed his nose up and declared,

"Pfff. I wish (he) wouldn't wear that strong aftershave, it makes your eyes smart. What is it, anyway, is it that Herpes?"

(He meant Hermes of course but bless 'im, it had the same social effect.)

No, I reckon the nicest smell of all on any human being is Human Being. Clean human being mind you. And can there ever, ever be a more divine smell than fresh baby. Yummy yum yum no wonder all we girlies want to bite their little bottoms.

Mind you. I had the privilege once to meet the fantastic, if nobby-named, Professeur de Parfum for Guerlain- which, incidentally, is the last surviving Perfumier in the world, one Roja Dove. What a top, top man he was and totally riveting in the way he spoke about perfume and the undervalued olfactory senses.

It's perfectly true that you can be transported back many years just by the faint aroma of a perfume. It's a mind-blowing experience when it happens; only recently I discovered the re-surgence of Dioressence, which the fragrant (if barking mad) friend Linder used to wear when we were trendy art students. Gorgeous it was, and so I bought it for her and yes, there we were, back in the heady days of our attic flat in Whalley Range.

Trouble was, it only smelt like that on Linder. On me it turned into Vapona.

What's all THAT about.

Anyway, am off to get me some sunshine and a Mivvi. Hurrah.

Clodagh.xx

morning (again) hope you're still well?

totally agree about the over-doing it with parfum, al in moderation methinks - however there's nothing better than catching a waft of gorgeous scent as a lady walks by.
Me...I wear estee lauder Beyond Paradise on nights out and have recently gone old school in the day by wearing fahrenheit again.

Q: in the main why are ladies who sell parfum so 'up themselves'?
I mean all they actually do is sell smelly water???!!!!!
Sorry if you work in this line and are lovely but more than most aren't!

eau de toilette/apres rasage

KWx

I'm with you SbP, allergic to the stuff, and avoid people (male or female) who wear too much. As I get older I seem to be getting more and more allergies, and my skin's getting more sensitive too.

Madi - I was always led to believe that Lennon & McCartney never truly wrote together, and that you could tell who had written what by who was lead singer on the song, in which case it was Lennon who wrote Dear Prudence.

Good luck Debs2 - sounds like you might need it!

Anyway, popping out to mooch around the Quays and look/listen out for TT!!

JG x

Deev,

I purchased cK1 Summer, it smells delicious, even if I do say so myself. Usually a ck1 girl and a bit of Izzy Me-Ak-e, thrown in for good measure, except I purchased the male fragrance instead of the girlie one. So I've been smelling all manly for ages now...hahaha

AliB
xx

I have worked in a perfume warehouse (which is how i know I am allergic to most things) and the only stuff I wear is green tea by elizabeth arden

Mr bp is banned to lynx (not cheap stuff) only

Super bp x

Thanks for all the 'crossings' and support everyone - best not cross too tightly though after Tinsels comments

you in elf and safety Tins?

I like countdowns - could you tell last week!!! LOL

So I am supporting SbP and Dan and have 2 of me own - '21 days till I'm binned off the job shortlist' and 8 days till I see TT again YEH!

Deevs - I want to be on the Divalicious II mailing pleeeese

AliB, I'm an Izzy girl too, although I do buy the girly one!! Fantastic stuff. Also like a bit of Burberry Weekend (does that make me a chav I wonder?) and Tommy Girl.

AF x

Just having a breather and catching up.

Good to be back then Hazel love??? Probably not. I had a zillion emails waiting for me too - 2 days away!!!! Sigh......

Flower - Big hugs ((())) I play Deevs cd when I go off on my jaunts - usually skip the winter toons (not saying that word yet!!!) but had a passenger last time - nutters! - both of us singing Let it Snow !!!!

Debs - everything crossed for you but I recokon its yours - 21 days !!!!xxxx

Jeli - you do make me giggle!!!

Back in a bit to catch up a bit more

Beezer xxx

JG - never knew that about Lennon and McCartney. It does make sense!


Deevs - never had vodka and lime over ice, I'll have to try it one day.

Super bp - counting down to the wedding with you.

I really must go and do some work, this blog really does take up so much time and hubbly has just come home.

Voddie, lime...delishus...but no ice...really CBA with ice...voddie straight from freezer for preferunse...

Anyhoo, Bees, indeed good to be back. I also have very priddy brarn feet atm...and have been banned from going in any of my collegews ossifs until at least August as they are still really pale...Renners says the sun is very ageing, so I'm just getting away with it by saying I'm only 27.

Cornish, apparently some locums get paid more than I do per hour, and spend a lot of the time running their own web design business...so I hear from a little bird...

Speaking of which,

...jeli, I'm trying to think what you would mix for a Housemartini...it would obviously have to have Gin in it...v-e-r-y dry Gin...

Am currently enjoying the smell of my delishus fresh coffee. But I don't intend embracing any babes whilst drinking it.

nice to have bin missed
love

peas, Deev, I had a cheers for you with a Mythos!

Can I add a really random comment as I need to share with someone

I understand people hate fb and feel its not all that great

but .............................

I have just found my step sister who i have not seen for about 9 years and who is now married and lives in wales - I ahd no name and no address and have finally tracked her down.

Even if she doesnt want to be my friend (and with all the history - not deserved on either side) theres no gaurentee that she will but I am so happy to find her alive and well

thats all

and - its not too late to have her at my wedding ;-)

Hurrah for Mythos!!! x x x x

Debs2 - Divalicoius II - you are on the list!

That bottle of vodka is sitting on my desk, just looking at me .......

Deevs

peeeeeeeees: baggy - none so odd as family. Friends, we can choose. Family, we are lumbered with!

Ah, thats lovely Sbp. How did you find her without a name?

Darce x

Well someone with her first name has commented on my brothers status - now he has hundreds of freinds but she called him brother so I'm hoping its her!

hazel - locums like that give the rest of us a bad name!!

sbp - it is always good to find someone out of the blue like that - hope she acknowledges the contact.

and on the subject of martinis - the best dry martini i have EVER had was at 15 here in Newquay. absolutely delish - and didn't feel the need for any wine afterwards i can tell you!

CG x

Afternoon all,

Debs, good luck , i hate waiting for responses , hope its good news for ya.

SB , hey thats nice, i found a long lost cousin and we have been in close contact since .

Sunshine (whispered) here today , have a line of washing out, so its bound to rain at 4.45pm !!!

I find the shop that sells those bath bomb things (Lu$h) take my breath away when I walk past them, god knows how the staff survive being inside all day.

MC xx

Martini - dont think i have had one for about 3 years, since an all inclusive holiday to Jamaica. Spent the night working my way through the menu, and .............. well its a long story , and its not pretty !!!!!!!!

MC x

Ooh, forgot to say, if anyone wants TT tickets for tomorrow in Manc @ Old Trafford cricket ground , let me know,.a colleague has two , wants £100 .

I cant check back on here until about 6pm, but you can find me on FB too, (ask JG or Deev or Beez etc)


MC xx

super_BP - i agree and have had a similar experience with fb which I wont comment any further on in this public forum but happy to tell you more on facebook!!

I do agree about the perfume blog but hope the poor lady in question with the over perfume problem isn't a regular blogger and realises the blog is about her.

CLP- couldn't agree more about overpowering perfumery smells... one lady I know in 'Dorra smells so fiercly of Poison that you can tell if she's been in a bar/restaurant/house for hours after she's gorn! I try to only have to get in close prox' to her in the summer months outside at BBQ's and the like!

AF- it's fab thanks, growing outwards in a horizontal fashion... most fetching!

Good to see you back on the blog after your vacation in Crete HL... I got the feeling you'd had a super-dooper time somehow!

Now there's a thing Hells.

I'm sure Roja the Professeur de Parfum would be delighted to create Eau de Lambpie. A heady fusion of ginger and Red Bull with sweet, floral overtones of priceless Tash oil.

Me, I'm workin' on me own fragrance as we speak, fresh in as I am from me deckchair, bit sweaty and covered in Bergasol and raspberry Mivvi. I shall market it as Eau D'oreaters and it will be charcoal-based, with cheeky top-notes and a base note of lemon jelly, evoking the unique, heady and bewitching waft of ozone and asparagus.

Whaddaya reckon. Is it a line?

Am off to design me bottle without delay. I've a lovely one I bought in Knock last week, in the shape of Our Lady of Knock and made for the Holy Water. That'll do nicely.

By the way did I tell yous I brought the GD a stick of Knock rock? Marvellous. Had Our Lady right through it.

Best be off, am hurtling disastrously towards blasphemy here.

Sounds perfick to me Clodagh - nice touch the asparagus. Mix it with a bit of miyake l'eau d'issey with their permission of course and hey presto - a bloke version.
Have good idea for the two bottles but better not for here A?

Go on SbP your turn xx

Debs thats great news

As for me - well lets not get excited too soon

but on the good news front - my step sister accepted my friend on fb - thats made my day if nothing else does

Well done Debs - didn't have to wait that long after all. xx

Thats really good Sbp - lets hope you can build up a god relationship. Job will be next. x

Thats good not God!!

Woo hoo, Debs, can't believe you've done it *already* - they must be keen as mustard on you! But how long do we have to keep things crossed for stage 2 eh?

SBP, all crossed for you too that some bright spark recognises your talent from your CV and snaps you up!

Deev, tut tut, norty girl ;-D

Clodagh, I'd buy your perfooooom, not a doubt. Could do with an effective wasp killer round here... No, seriously, smells gawjus I'm sure!

AF xx

AF. Seriously or not, no self-respectin' wasp would approach without goggles and a peg on its nose. Specially in Renee's hands, the woman is lethal on the business end of a bottle of perfume. I well remember a right tussle between herself and the DDF Eric at Alicante airport, when he refused to sample some smelly elixir that would lift 3 generations of varnish, so she forced the issue and got him full in the eye.

I reckon that's when the Tourrette's kicked in.

There's a lot happening today!

Debs - well done - it's all looking good!

Superbp: sorry to hear your work situation is getting worse. Just awful for you. But, you are staying positive and that's the main thing - there will be something out there.

And how fantastic you have found your stepsister- it is absolutely amazing how life turns out sometimes. It would be wonderful if she can come to your wedding!

Incredible day here in Glasgow - I want to go home. I want to get the washing hanging out on the line. I want to sit in the garden, reading the paper and sipping a glass of wine. I WANT TO GO HOME!
