You all must be wondering what the hell happened to Lola, did she drop off the face of the earth??  My youngest daughter spilled a mug of ginger tea on my less than a year old laptop!!  That’s right water damage … the type of damage that is not covered under 3 year warranty that they up sellyou at the point of sale.  Needless to say I’ve been able to purchase a new laptop and I will be back in business.  I know it’s late but I want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  I look forward to seeing what the new year will bring for Style Vanguard.  I also want to apologise to the people with whom I made arrangements with for postings during my forced hiatus!!  So glad to be back I have lots in store for you in 2010
