If you want a laugh try Bandit on fragrantica 

Hi all, hi Velvet 

Just got one filling, i was very brave too, oh how i dislike the dentist! Was booked in with the hygienist for a scale and polish but she is off sick so will phone up next week to make an appointment . 
Enjoyed Waking the Dead too , pity its finished. Dont watch Silent Witness, stopped watching it, cant remember why now..

Hi Sky 

One filling eh - did you need it or did he/she? 

Scale and polish - window dressing and not summat I enjoy. Too much poking.

I've never even heard of Bandit.

I hate scale and polish 'cos I have very sensitive teeth.

Well done Skylark we're all cowards when it comes to the dentist.  Now you don't have to think about it for 6 months, scale and polish is quite nice I think and not a drill in site

Wow thanks Velvet, I have bought it - it looks good and what a fantastic site that Fragrantica looks, much browsing methinks.  I'm a big fan of perfume but it's such an individual thing isn't it?  Could never stand Youth Dew or Opium etc.

Yogi this is what Fragrantica has to say about Bandit

Bandit is the most daring in the whole line of perfumes like Caron Tabac Blond and Chanel Cuir de Russie, perfumes for an emancipated woman on the turn of the last century; for a woman who dares to smoke in the public. Bandit was made for the avantgarde Robert Piguet's collection, inspired by romantic sea voyages and pirates. Bandit is a classic "chypre" with dark animal notes and aggressive leather accord. In 1999, after 25 years, production of Bandit started again. Eau de toilette has the greatest sharpness. In the perfume version, leather and smoke notes are followed by clear notes of white flowers and vetiver. Bandit was launched in 1944. The nose behind this fragrance is Germaine Cellier.

Got the sis a Creed/Piguet selection box for Crimbo.

One you've gotta get yer nose around is Baghari Yogi 

Beautiful it is  

Wow, that is some scent!

Hi Velvet 

Not a fan of the S@P either, i must stop drinking so much tea, i blame that!
Thank you squiggle, my legs turned to jelly, and heart rate soared but made it . Its that chair that does it ! x

Well done squiggle  

It's knock out 

I might pass the hint to hubby for my birthday in March.

House of Fraser in Scotland 

Skylark, at least you can relax for the next 6 months. My next routine visit to the dentist is in just under 2 weeks.

If any of you watched last night's Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire, you will remember the question about the most expensive cheese. Here's Novak Djokovic talking about it - it's towards the end of the clip:

Next, someone will start marketing donkey cheese perfume

Thank you.

Anyone else getting ads for perfume now?  ->

And if he disnae buy you it I will 

Thank you - but I can be very persuasive when I want to, so he'll buy it.

I checked the prices on House of Fraser website - I'll have to be very persuasive!

As you know we're heading to a cold snap and the Met Office have released this video which attempts to explain it. You need to watch the whole thing for it to make any sense and it doesn't attempt to say how long the snap will go on for:

I was tidying my cupboard out that i keep all the carrier bags in, and one from House of Fraser with receipt for perfume my son got girlfriend, i was ... ...how much  He bought her Ugg boots too from Cruise. it must be love 

If it was for Baghari expect an autumn wedding Sky.

That's all I'm saying.  

Aww, young love is a wonderful thing - and expensive, by the sounds of it.

No!! He is my baby, only 18, well nearly 19  

Don't say that Velvet, you'll have Skylark in a tizzy.

A boy and a girl  

Where is that naughty step now.....

I'm not sure I really understood that, but I think the "easterlies" were getting the blame for the cold snap.

Checked out the forecast for my area and it's to be pretty chilly for the next week or so.

Watch out Velvet, Skylark's got her dander up.

Dander up?

* runs *

It's probably one of my mother's made-up expressions, it means you've annoyed her.

The expression, which I've certainly heard before, has been around for a long time:

Aye, you better 

Off to dine, says in poshest accent 


for now x

Is that you speaking Edinburgh pan loafy?

Enjoy your dinner, see you later.

Wait till you meet the mother-in-law.

I'm off to see one of the 3 Polish female dentists I know to go through her tax return which I've rooted through her papers, filled in the cavities on the return and I just need to polish it off. I'm crowning it off by giving her my bill. I don't expect to have any problem in extracting the money from her.
