The packet promised all sort of things, but they just didn't deliver. I felt terrible, casting them off, one by one - in a matter of weeks some of them. Then there was the expense of getting all dressed up, hanging around in boots, trying the see if any of them caught my eye. Anyhow, I think it was Afra who posted, she  I'm sorry, it's just so painful. She mentioned try "Ruby & Millie" they are great, they have a kit that comes with both the demi and the full catterpillars in. So, I went out to Boots one last time, and after another wasted trip, I started searching the internet. It was all exitement at my house after I had placed a bit on the kit, and you could have scraped me off the ceiling when I heard I'd "won" (I was a little disappointed to hear I still had to pay, despite having "won"). Anyhow, any relationship has teething trouble at the start, and I decided to overlook it. It was then that our relationship started to blossom. I can't carry on just now ... I will post more after I've had time to compose myself |
OMG - I've just read this thread - Caroline I am so sorry to hear of your loss!
I feel your pain because whilst I was in New York the same thing happened to me and I felt such a traitor going into Sephora to buy replacements the same day. I mean how could I do such a thing after they'd given their lives in my service???
Sadly it was a performance emergency but I did not feel good about it.
I couldn't bear to leave them behind in America so they were very carefully wrapped and prepared for repatriation to the UK, where they were quietly laid to rest. I am now preparing for the painful process of making my way into Boots to seek out proper R&M replacements as sadly the ones bought in NYC were not up to the job.
Sometimes it's hard being a dancer!
