I hardly ever drive anywhere on business these days. The place I go to most often on business in the UK is London, and the train is far easier, and the most of my other business trips are to France or Italy, in which case I fly. In fact looking back over my mileage records for this tax year, there have only been a couple of trips to our other office in Manchester (all of 7 miles), and one trip to another company in Cheshire.

That doesn't mean that there have been no long(ish) trips by car, but they have all been for pleasure, and the vast majority of them have, therefore, been done as Jennifer. I can only think of one that wasn't - and that was when I drove up to my mother's to tell her about Jennifer - which went really well, and so when I left to go back home the next day, it was as Jennifer :)

But I was in Basingstoke on business yesterday and today, and that's not so easy by train, so I drove. So what is it with driving? I wasn't in a hurry getting home this evening, and in fact rather than rushing home I did a detour via my sister's for tea. And yet whether I am in a hurry or not, be in business or pleasure, I get really wound up with all of these inconsiderate oafs on the M6 when I'm driving as Dave, but I just let the world go by as Jennifer :confused: And the thing is that it never takes me any longer to get from A to B as Jennifer - and I get anything up to 10% more MPG as Jennifer too.

I has to be something to do with shoes I suppose - it usually is ;)

Yes it does!......... Linzi does drive a lot slower (except on motorways!) but heels are great for doing "leftfoot braking"! Especially when you've got a bunch of "HoodRats" "tailgating" you in souped up Vauxhall Nova!...........

Ok! I did try to do my nails on the M6 Once on the 4 lane section by Preston....... (Naughty Naughty!)...... which I thought was being considerate to other road users (More lanes for me to weave about in!)....................LOL!

Talking of nail polish, my youngest niece was at my sister's this evening, and she does promotional stuff, and gives me load of "free samples". I could have done my nails on my way home - you would not believe how much nail polish I came home with :D

She also gave me a makeup kit - well the box it is in will be useful - but the makeup :eek: I think this "kit" was intended for the 12-year old market - not quite me !!!

My niece did say that she didn't think it was quite right for her "Uncle Jennifer" - which is what she calls me when I am in bloke mode ;) - but as she said, she has loads of these makeup kits, and familly & friends have to do their bit and take at least one of them off her hands ....
