It’s 9.30pm and I am midway through and they have just announced that Spain gets to go again….they are talking about some kind of pitch invasion….well you would looking at that Leo Sayer lookalikee…..should not be allowed….

Current ridiculous favourites are Greece and that guy that I think was from Serbia….kind of half Chinese looking with a silly blond bob - and the butterflies from Belarus…

And now if you were wondering what Angelina Jolie was doing tonight, well she’s the entrant for Armenia….dead ringer…and that’s about all they’ve got going for them…

Now our boy….(actually looks like Craig Logan…we are doing quite well with our lookalikees tonight….) - song was written by my good friend Pete Waterman….so for that reason alone, I will vote…oh, wait I can’t….well mentally I will

But here come the Germans…quite good but God love her, she can’t dance….and a weird accent….mmm… had hopes but she’s knock knee’d…..(is that the right spelling???)

So that ends my annilation….but here comes Portugal and they have entered 35 times and never come anywhere, not even Top 5….but it’s a nice place to go on holiday and I go every year so I won’t  be dismissive…

And Graham is actually making me laugh…you can’t replace Terry but actually now he’s in his stride, he’s doing fine

So here’s hoping we come at least in the Top 5 and Greece win so we can have a good laugh again!

And the final thought for the day is that thank goodness I don’t work for International in a record company anymore… because you could guarantee that Monday morning you would always get the call…”so what are your plans for the record in rest of the world now we have won the Eurovision…..”

Yeah right… and you know some poor bod is going to get that call Monday morning..

Happy Eurovision…xx

P.S.  Israel well off key….

Some might say that The Chair is still the leader of the pack, the stalwart amongst a sea of slouchers, an upright, forthright part of the furniture of life!

Well guess what - The Chair just sat up and got noticed even more!! Nowadays the chair in a room is the focal point of wow factor - there are no rules and every rule has been broken!  It sits in prime position and says look at me - and here are just some of our favourites!

Now that’s what we call Armchair Heaven!

Happy sitting! xx

Now the Winter of Discontent is over, the balmy (see what we did there….) Summer is now here and quite frankly one’s lips have taken a hammering with this mad weather and I profess that I have not looked after them as much as I should!

So, fortuitously, some gorgeous Bonbon lip balms arrive on our desk to try and I am straight in there insisting my need is greater than anyone else!! Just the name is enough to get me hooked!

Now I like my lip balm to be balmy but with a little gloss for some glam in my hour of need.  And these babies do not disappoint!  With a variety of flavours from Chocolate and Caramel to Mandarin and Mint, there’s something for everyone’s whim here….but got to say the Mint just  has that little va va va vroom that you sometimes need in a lip balm!!

And for only £5, it’s a must and you can even join Club Bonbon and receive Bonbon lip balm every month - just log onto www.bonbonbalm.com

What is going on in the last few days?  Fergie has regret, Ronan has regret and Johnathon Cainer tells me I am going to have regret unless I respect my intuition!!!  Now maybe the former two could have done with some of that and then maybe they wouldn’t be in the mess they are now!!  But we actually have a soft spot for both so here’s hoping it gets sorted!!

But as some of my more esteemed media colleagues are spotting now too, intuition says we do love a bargain and now of course it’s fashionable to wear Aldi face cream and buy your chocolate from Lidl (well if you’re my dad that is!!!)

But the greatest find of today (and intuition says you should visit this site….) is www.clickini.com  - just the name is enough to make you rush to your keyboard and tap till you’ve lost those last few pounds!!!

Ok - not the cheapest on the block but whoever said “no pain no gain” had great intuition!!

To quote a lyric (cos you know we love that!! And maybe just a little nod to Ronan and Fergie….)

“Though I always try hard not to leave any clues,
I’m always found out, wish I knew how to use

Intuition….” (Lynx)

Happy clickini!!

Just checking in just in case you thought I had toned myself into a few grains of sand!

No, we are loving it!!! Oh my god, this machine is the Didier Drogba of toning machines!! (Ok slightly random choice of analogy but he is topical right now!! And as for the cover of Vanity Fair this month…that is taking toning to fever pitch!!!

No, we are on track and already (might be phsycological but who cares at this early stage!!!) feeling like there might just be one less line…

Goal is July 11th to look like a Slender Toned Goddess!

No worries as they say….xxxxxxxx

or will be fairly shortly!  Just thought I would let you know that tonight I have begun the first day of the rest of my new life - or face actually….

Oh my…it’s arrived…..the Slendertone Face…..

Stay tuned for more updates…. and obviously this now means I will look 10 years younger….

And even more obviously I will be in with a chance with George Clooney…

No Cougars for me…..no-one will even imagine I’m a day over 25…..

More as I tone….xxxx

Well apologies for the delay in our updates - New York trip pretty much did us in and as fabulous as that was, caused us all sorts of dramas and it’s only now we seem to be back to normal!!!

So, with a couple weeks of madness and only now recovering, how happy were we when the new Braun Silk Xpressive Pro land on our desks!  Now I do have to profess to being a bit of a wooss in my time when it comes to Epilators and can’t say I was happy to draw the straw on who got this little gem to try!

But determined not to be defeated and let’s face it, I have had a child so how painful can it really be!!!  So with gritted teeth off I went!  Well the new features including a speed increase which I take to be an improvement on how long you have to endure the pain is indeed a bonus!  And the fact that you can use it in the shower just somehow physchologically lessens the pain due to hot water massaging your pain!

But you know what, one of the best bits is the Smartlight technology - you think you’ve got them all but that just makes sure!  And was it really that bad??? No…..

So do I have smooth legs that will have Pretty Polly straight on the phone now??  You bet….only problem is that they’re still about 5 inches too short for that contract!!!

Happy epilating…xx
