We've had fun, but this just isn't working out. I don't have enough time to devote to you, and it isn't as much fun as it used to be. I don't see a future for us.
Nothing personal. It's not you, it's me.

Shall we have something nice now and forget about the wankers of the world? Okay.
Scent - that's always good for a treat. When you're shopping for perfumes you can't try that many on in a day, maybe four or five at a push. So if you fancy treating yourself to a new one, it helps to whittle it down to a short hit list before you start.
I've found basenotes.net very useful for doing that, but it can get quite unwieldy searching their database unless you know quite a lot about perfumes in the first place.
Today though, I found something different. It is also surreal, highly subjective and it makes me laugh. For example, everything by Paris Hilton gets the lowest marks and accompanying comments such as "barf-bag floral" and "remedial candyfloss." Others are variously described as "mango overcoat", "ashtray floral", and "trashoid oriental" which just tickles my pickle.
It's a bit bitchy and the list is incomplete, but when it comes to the 5-out-of-5 rated perfumes, I generally agree with them. I'll be coming back to this in future, I'm certain.
My local branch of Lidl have just filled up their aisle of Christmas goodies. They are, for the main part, very cheap and pretty good quality - and as most of it isn't seasonal Brit food I'll be scoffing some of it right away.
While I do hate the in-your-face commercialism of many of the shops that do this with their stock, I'm also thinking it helps those of us on smaller budgets. I get to spread the cost over three months instead of buying all in one go.
Speaking of stocking up, Tesco have a couple of their champagnes, a decent vintage cava and a nice-looking prosecco on at half price this week, plus a deal on Plymouth gin... (scroll down to get to spirits and sparkling wines).
Right, must dash...
