Ok, I don’t do these very often but it’s the beginning of a new week and I’d really like to know who is reading the blog, who is having an exciting/terrible week and who is stalking me.

So it’s getting to know you day!  5 questions…

1. Who are you and what do you want to eat right now?

Chinese War-Tip Dumplings

2. What is on your lemming (must buy) beauty list right now?

Clarins Instant Radience Primer – but its only 15mls for £21.50! So I might skip it! 

3. What did you learn last week?

That I am going to be a Wu-Shu Kung Fu master…eventually.  That beef steaks take longer than 2 minutes to cook.  That cleaning is easy when someone else is doing it.  That I can’t spell radience.

4. What is your tune of the day/week?

It’s a song I made up to the tune of Beyonce’s ‘All the Single Ladies’ and it uses the word ‘Cubby’ a lot.

5. What have you got in the post/or got coming?

Illmasqua, Majolica Majorca’s new mascara, Lise Waiter Wheel Concealer, some L’oreal Hip Kohls, a Miffy Sandwich box, some very cheap £10 jeans (hey, it’s the credit crunch) and some other random pieces of crap.

Copy & Paste, let me know about you!  All of you, the lurkers, the boys, the arch enemies… :)
