I Could Get Used To This

Summer time so obviously here's another post about my feet. (This was last summer's post where I revealed my dirty little secret).

Last September two friends bought me a mani-pedi for my birthday, to be done within the year according to the voucher. It was a brilliant present for me as, although I love a bit of pampering, I would never buy it for myself. Well I would if I were rich but I'm not.

It's taken me almost 11 months to get round to it but I went today. It was fitting closure for the broken toe episode and I loved every minute of it. Jane, the beautician beauty technician beauty treatments lady, was great. What can be better than being pampered with such good company? Thanks Jane.

An added bonus to feeling all Grace Kelly is that when I met a friend for coffee afterwards I felt so elegant that I didn't even consider buying anything sweet to go with my coffee. Of course my friend trumped me by ordering tea with mint but I still felt virtuous.

Thank you Helen and Fiona. I could get used to this.

      Very thoughtful. Another thoughtful gift was from 6 friends who clubbed together to give me a generous amount to spend on Amazon.com. And other friends took me out for dinner. I was so happy to get gifts that I could really enjoy.

      Yes, the pedi is even more delightful than the mani. It feels so clean and refreshing somehow.

      LOL - aspire to that level whereby it bothers me not to have perfectly pedicured feet.
