pensnestI've had a good Christmas. It's very satisfying to have done well with the gifts. Husband now thinks I am prescient, as two days before Christmas he wore a hole in the knee of his favourite leisure trousers, and received two pairs on Christmas Day. Boring, I know, but at least it was a surprise! Also my SeSa and popslash card exchange recipients both squeed convincingly (phew!). It really is a lot more fun to give than to receive. (Even when you receive a digital camera.) But I still haven't got anywhere with the wossname I (had) intended for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nopseud. Meep.
Thanks totrumpeterofdoom, quiet000001, mickeym, turloughishere (I've scanned it for icontexturing!) and nopseud (beam!) for the cards - in my usual disorganised way I have cards in various heaps about the house, and I'm pretty sure I had more from LJers which I didn't find in my brief search this morning. Oops. If you sent me one, I probably have it. No popslash exchange card, though...
We've done a little bit all together as a family. Which is nice, given that we usually separate to our respective computers (though the brats tend to share, one plays and the other observes). No playing of board games together as last year (the Lord of the Rings board game is very enjoyable) but we watched the entire recent Doctor Who series on DVD while F-i-L was still here, and enjoyed it very much. Bun and I shared knowing looks when dear Captain Jack arrived, didn't dare ask what F-i-L made of him. Actually we managed to miss the Christmas Day Doctor Who, because we were watching Doctor Who... oh well. We're so out of the habit of watching TV. But I thought David Tennent (sp?) was the best thing about Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire so I shall make an effort to watch the new series. And last night, the four of us tucked on to the sofa together to watch the first season of Veronica Mars, and enjoyed it very much. Have watched four eps. Why do I like Logan? Hmm.
Now, for no better reason than that I felt like it, the girly meme thing.
01. DO YOU HAVE ON A LOT OF MAKE-UP?
no, none
02. HOW MUCH DO YOU PUT ON?
If I wear it at all it's either minimal, ie tinted moisturiser and maybe a little lipstick, or the full foundation/eyes/lips thing. Which happens perhaps three times a year.
03. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE YOU TO GET READY?
I dunno. Truly. For a dinner dance or similar outing, at least an hour, probably more. For everyday, I just wash, dress and eat. And procrastinate, usually.
04. DO YOU PUT ON A LOT OF LIPGLOSS?
Well, lip salve/lip balm, yes.
05. DOES YOUR LIPGLOSS SMELL GOOD?
Depends which stick/pot I've picked up. The chocolate orange one is particularly nice.
06. DO YOU CARRY A PURSE?
Yes, if by 'purse' you mean 'handbag'.
07. WHAT COLOR IS IT?
Black.
09. DO YOU HAVE A COACH BAG?
Wossa coach bag?
10. DO YOU HAVE A LOUIS VUTTiON?
No
11. HOW MANY PURSES HANDBAGS!!!! DO YOU HAVE?
One, in daily use. And two (or three?) twinkly evening bags, used annually.
12. DO YOU LIKE TO WEAR NAILPOLISH?
Occasionally I get the urge.
13. HOW OFTEN DO YOU GET YOUR NAILS DONE?
Once, ever.
14. DO YOU LIKE MANICURES?

15. WHAT ABOUT PEDICURES?
It's been a very long time - I guess, yes.
16. DO YOU HAVE A USUAL NAIL SALON YOU GO TO?
Nah
17. WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR HAIR CUT?
Toni & Guy
18. DO YOU DYE YOUR HAIR?
No, but my hairdresser does
19. DO YOU STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR?
*so* not necessary (sigh)
20.DO YOU HAVE LOTS OF PAIRS OF SHOES?
'Lots' - ? I wouldn't say so. About, hmm, 15 - 16?
21.WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SHOES?
My dancing shoes. Covered in glitter and sequins.
23. DO YOU WEAR HEELS EVERYWHERE?
No.
24. CAN YOU WALK IN HEELS AND NOT FALL OVER?
Yes.
25. WHERE DO YOU BUY YOUR CLOTHES?
Wherever.
26. DO YOU GO SHOPPING EVERY WEEK?
I suppose this question isn't meant to elicit the answer Yes, to Sainsburys. I certainly don't go clothes shopping as a leisure activity.
27. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE STORE?
Waterstones. It used to be the art supplies shop in the middle of town, but alas, that has closed.

In a bookshop? Thirty-forty pounds.
29. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN IN DIOR?
No
30. DO YOU FOLLOW FASHION TRENDS?
No
31. DO YOU HAVE A PAIR OF HUGE SUNGLASSES?
No. My spectacles have light-reacting lenses - but they aren't film-star-large anyway.
35. HOW MANY PAIRS OF EARRINGS DO YOU HAVE?
About two dozen.
36. DO YOU WEAR HOOP EARRINGS?
No

A few. Five, maybe? But I almost never wear them.
39. DO YOU GET YOUR EYE BROWS DONE?
I get them waxed, yes.
40. CAN YOU APPLY MASCARA WITHOUT OPENING YOUR MOUTH?
It's been so long since I wore mascara, I can't remember. Probably not, though.
41. DO YOU WEAR A LOT OF EYELINER?
When I wear it, I like it to show, but I wear it rarely.
44. DO YOU DO PILATES OR YOGA?
Not at present, used to do Yoga.
45. DO YOU HAVE A LOT OF MAGAZINES?
Yes, because I haven't had a 'throwing away magazines' urge lately. But I haven't been buying them at the rate I used to, not since I discovered LiveJournal!
