Thank you Mr Brown & thank you Lush.

Just four hours at work today. We were kept really busy - thank you Mr Brown - he has reduced VAT, I think its from 17% to 15%, this happens from Monday. But Lush being the generous company that it is wants to pass on the savings as soon as possible. So we spent most of the evening changing all the prices in the shop, including all the Christmas presents.
We've got a new shaving cream in the shop called "Shave the Planet" I haven't tried it yet so i can't say what its like. I'll have to bring a sample home and run tests. I love my job.
I watched my father shave and he always had the smoothest face, he said his secret.... and I watched him, was that between each stroke he rinsed the razor in very hot water. That's the advice I give to all the guys who ask about our shaving creams. I like using Ambrosia for the present but if Shave the Planet is better I'll change.
My favourite at present is H'Suan Wen Hua, a hair mask. It's full of yummy bananas and avocados and free range eggs. I love it because its so simple to use. I put the kettle on apply the mask, and more often than not I'll put one of our fresh face masks on as well and put my feet up. I'll wash the mask off after about ten minutes, but I'll leave H'suan Wen Hua on as long as I fancy, partly because I love the smell, which comes from the rosemary and cinnamon leaf that's in it. Once its washed out my hair is so soft but not fly away - it hangs in light spirals, just the way I like it. I'm obviously not the only one who likes it because we can't keep it on the shelves.

To Plurk or not to Plurk....

So I'm trying this whole new Plurking thing...is it just another way of eating up your day? Basically there is a time line where you can publish wee quotes about yourself called Plurks and people can add their comments on what you've Plurked. You can get other Plurkers Plurks by becoming their fans. You are notified everytime someone comments on the Plurk on your time line. You gain Karma by inviting friends to Plurk, Plurking on a regular basis and other such Purksome stuff. The more Karma you have the more fancy your Plurks can become.... Warning this is not for the paranoid....especially if no one responds to your Plurks, or you add a Plurk to a High-up Plurkers Plurk and all Plurking seems to stop....imagining all sorts of whispering in private Plurks "who does she think she is".....I think & I'll watch and Plurk and mull it all over.. and probably dePlurk myself in here..or not....
