"A replacement w810i tomorrow will arrive!"

As the man over the phone promises, it's rather exciting as I didn't expect to see a new handset anytime soon.
So I will have to spend a while reinstating numbers, and transferring music for gym-times.
*smiles at the sky* Thank you Lord.

We haven't actually shared how my first eric got stolen have we?
It all happened one happy afternoon, on 31 Oct 2006.
Between SOHO and Carnaby St, I asked jojo to stop so I could catch a beautiful shot of her by the street.
It was getting dark by this time (4pm) and we were window shopping along carnaby st before jo took me into Lush to a wonderful world of toiletries made of food/what not.
I must have got so distracted/lost in overpowering smells, and while I had believed my phone to be in my hand firmly one minute, to then leaving Carnaby St and searching my person rather calmly for my phone; to no avail.

Within a space of 30min my phone was gone, we went back to Lush; where the salesgirls were lovely enough to give my phone a ring, see where it was gone.
She received a voice msg saying the phone was off, where I never switch my phone off 'cept for the rare case of SIM card changes.
At that point, I tried to stay hopeful, but secretly accepted that my phone was gone.
Dono how, Dono where.

I mean, I was in London after all.

So I can part with it contentedly, with the thought that my last camera shot taken was off my dear jojo, and the last conversation I had on the phone with my dear aunty amy in Singapore. Aaaah~!

I'm glad in a way that my first affair with Lush was not in vain, I did by a bar of shampoo (yes that's right!) called Godiva and a bar of soap called Honey I Washed The Kids, made of honey as you can guess. I save those preciously expensive items for travelling now, where I can enjoy the amazing array of scents cocooning me while I'm in the shower.
I'm travelling at the start of December, so that's good.

And ever since? I've bought a massage bar called Mange Too made of Honey&White Chocolate primarily, facial cleanser & exfoliating paste. And that's where I draw the line for myself. (For now)
