Things That make Me Smile

There are lots of things that make me smile, but round robin emails are not usually one of them.

In fact I find them intensely irritating (as well as distracting) and usually hit the 'delete' button as soon as they land.

I'm supposed to be working - right?

However, I have to say that the one my friend Pauline sent me this week made me laugh so much, I not only read it all the way through but I forwarded it to two girlfriends as well.

I knew they would appreciate the sentiment.

Anyway, here it is in a slightly edited version is. See if you can relate to it, too.

If you can, you're definitely on my wavelength as indeed are my friends, Sue and Nic and, of course, Pauline. Go girls!

• Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like... 'You know, sometimes I forget to eat!' .....Now, I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name and my keys. But I have never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat!

• A friend of mine confused her Valium with her birth control pills...she has 14 kids but doesn't really care.

And my absolute favourite:

• The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing and then they marry him!
