THINGS TO DO IN OCTOBER

• Consider taking an art or craft class. Theres a million and one fun ways out there to express yourself. You could try pottery, sculpture, mosaic, card making, quilling or even take a life drawing class, if for no other reason that to realise other people have saggy bits too.



• Sandal time! Treat yourself to a pedicure. If you can't afford the salon variety, there are beauty colleges that offer low rates for you to be a guinea pig and what's wrong with blue toe-nail polish really? Or even buy the products yourself and lock yourself in the bathroom for the evening. This is only a bad idea if the bathroom contains the only toilet in the house!



• Experiment with some incense. There are some delicious fragrences although they have yet to release 'pancakes with maple syrup'. I'll be first in line when they do. Some unfortunately smell like trough-lollies so give the pack a good sniff before you purchase or you may have a queue of workman at your door. The smoke cleanses the chi of your home and hides the smell of the insinkerator.



• Make a wish collage. Write a list of all the things you'd like or like to do with your life. Then go through magazines and brochures to find images to represent those wishes. Cut them out and paste them onto carboard, collage style. If you like, get the crayons, textas and glitter out and decorate. These can also be used to scribble over the woman holding the man you've stuck down.



• Tell everyone important to you that you love them. You'll make the postmans day.
