Well, folks, last night, as I'm sure you know, was the night of The Oscars, which means I've been up all night drinking coffee and playing celebrity blogging monkey over at The Fashion Police, so I'm now feeling ever so-slightly hysterical. I'm going to go and sleep for the rest of the week (I really don't deal well with all-nighters. It throws my schedule out for DAYS. At university, I was never one of those students who would sit up all night before exams, studying. I'd just go to bed early and accept I would probably fail. That's why I'm not a brain surgeon by now. Well, that and the fact ...

Remember the time someone impersonated me on a forum? Or the time someone impersonated me on a social network? (Let's not even mention all those times I've popped up modelling shoes and makeup on other people's eBay accounts. Whoops, just did!) Can you even BELIEVE that would happen again, readers? Because I didn't. I figured I'd already been impersonated more than most people are in a lifetime, so my run of bad luck was surely over. But no. Because this morning, one of my readers (thanks, Anna!) emailed me to tell me about this blog: "What are we supposed to be looking at here...

Remember when I said I was done with eBay, for ever and ever and ever, or at least until the next pair of shoes came up that I OMGHADTOHAVE? Yeah, that didn't work out. I mean, I did stop trying to sell stuff on eBay, because that was just a one-way ticket to Mad Town. I kept on buying, though, and for the most part, that worked out pretty well. I got some bargains. I got some things I'd wanted to buy at the time, but which had sold out. Ebay and I, we were cool. Then came The Shoes. (You knew this would be about shoes, didn't you? Sorry.) The Shoes are deserving of the capital letter...

Confession: I don't like body lotion. Well, actually, that's not quite true. I love the smell of body lotion. I love the feel of it. I really like the idea of it. But although my bathroom cabinet is currently filled to bursting point with bottle after bottle of lotion, the reason it's so full is that I hardly ever use the stuff. I just hate getting out of the shower into my freezing bathroom and then having to stand in the cold and apply lotion, and I also hate having to spend the next 20 minutes or so walking around with my skin all sticky/greasy, which is so often the case with me and...

Remember last year, when Royal Fail held about 15 of my parcels hostage and refused to allow me to collect them? And took six weeks to deliver some of them? And LOST one of them? I thought it couldn't get much worse than that. I thought that once the snow melted (Which it did, well over a month ago) and their main excuse for failing so miserably at their one and only function as a business was gone, the Fail would return to their usual, albeit pretty poor, standard of service, and I would have at least SOME hope of being able to send and receive mail. I was wrong. Oh, was I wrong. ...
