MY first job was also at the cosmetics counter of a major department store - but I sure wouldn't say I was in any way a glamour girl! And I've never been coordinated enough to hula-hoop...but I think it's hilarious when we get one coming through the mail. (Remember, I work at the post office, and I see it all!)<br />I thought about the novel challenge, but decided I just don't have the time. I HAVE got a good start on one, but there's no way I could do it justice right now. Good luck with yours!ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484006611034371233.post-33158806911534733482010-10-18T21:12:54.601+01:002010-10-18T21:12:54.601+01:00John, he claims to tower over me but really there&...John, he claims to tower over <strong>me</strong> but really there's not much in it.

I think hubby might draw the line at me having a pole in our living room. :D I'd love to have a go though and got as far as checking out the classes at Newcastle..... but I don't know if I could walk in the high-heel shoes they use never mind keep myself horizontal on the pole! :O)Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908084484202064053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484006611034371233.post-56352896676971018602010-10-18T16:19:45.697+01:002010-10-18T16:19:45.697+01:00Well, you made my day also so if i returned the co...Well, you made my day also so if i returned the compliment brill. <br />One thing i forgot to ask.

Great idea taking up hoola hooping. I have never been able to do it but my daughter can do it really well and she also does pole dancing (as an exercise only!)and has a pole in the middle of her living room :-))Good luck with the novel.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05223468571409915907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484006611034371233.post-26146241180386162442010-10-18T08:19:33.354+01:002010-10-18T08:19:33.354+01:00John, your lovely comments have just made my day.....John, your lovely comments have just made my day.... thank you!<br /><br />My novel is set in the early Victorian era so there's no rock n' roll, nor opium either (lol), but there's a teeny-weeny bit of the 's' word - in a wholesome way though. I doubt if you would want to read it unless I include some bits about dragonflies and humbugs. :O) <br /><br />I'll be without the netty for a week, between the 1st and 8th Nov so there's still plenty of time for blogging till then. :)Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908084484202064053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484006611034371233.post-29615203378343489772010-10-17T21:53:04.681+01:002010-10-17T21:53:04.681+01:00Lesley, your a gem.

It's nice to know that someone actually reads the drivel i spout. The fact that i make you smile makes me smile and i think smiling is important in this day and age. Lifes pretty grim at times but you gotta get on with it and anything that lightens the mood, well.<br />Hurry up and get moved so you can get back on and make ME smile. Do we all get to read your novel? Plenty of sex n drugs n rock n roll please..........on second thoughts, it's all been done before. Just one thing, i bet you were a stunner back on the cosmetic counter and i'll tell ya what, Ethelmae looked tidy back in the day. Couple of film stars together i bet.<br />JohnJohnnykinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12076909025101532481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484006611034371233.post-73893831023319800712010-10-17T18:33:45.433+01:002010-10-17T18:33:45.433+01:00She was certainly a prolific writer.

That should keep her fans happy.<br /><br />The main thing about Nanowrimo is that it's to be fun - no worrying about re-writing and editing ..... that comes later. :DLesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05908084484202064053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8484006611034371233.post-17462117598218097072010-10-17T14:54:57.605+01:002010-10-17T14:54:57.605+01:00Her's are a load of codswallop......Quite fanc...Her's are a load of codswallop......Quite fancy the challenge myself.
