Think Lynns advice is good Jo, to concentrate on the here and now, and if an issue comes up, just be confident enough to talk about it:D

I am desparatly wanting to go and get a panini or a mcdonalds for lunch:eek:

Well done Jo, woohoo!! I'm sure you'll enjoy it!! Could you set up a little 'business' offering alterations?? when I got married, the shop wanted to charge me £40 for the hem of my wedding dress, I'm sure if you found a market you would make quite a bit? Even try advertising on the supermarkets board or something?

I do, do "free" alterations for friends and family, but it inevitably moves on to there friends too and I feel a load, asking for money.

Thanks Kmac, am rubbing lotion in every night, will try squats for the rest of the week!!!
When you say body brush, do you need an actual brush, or will hands do?

You could take a rough face cloth (you know how they feel when they are just newly washed and dried without conditioner) and rub in upward circular motions. Even making a simple salt scrub from sea salt, lemon juice and just rub it on with your hands should work xx

What have you brought to work for lunch or what are your other options

I know what you mean, but perhaps you could do this, when a friend says "Can you do this for me" say "yes of course, I wont ask for any payment, but as a favour, could you spread this round your friends" and give them a little print out with your prices on. They will feel like they are getting more of a bargain, and will probably be happy to help. If your prices are reasonable, I'm sure your business would grow - don't let people take advantage of you too much.

It annoys me when people do that "Oh yeah, I know someone who will do it for free" - just because I do it for you for free, doesnt mean I want to do it for every tom !!!!!! and harry!!
Sorry, rant over lol!

Other options are reheating the pancake I brought with me; or doing some toast.. although I think the bread might be mouldy now....?!

Okay, my DH is going to crack up at me tonight, but I will get a rough face cloth and make up lemon juice and sea salt and rub it on my legs upwards in circular motions... then shower it off... I cant wait!:rotfl:

Thanks Kmac! I knew you guys would be able to suggest something free... I was so tempted to go and buy another lotion from Boots, but I wont Jo, I'm with you on the challenge..! In fact, in sorting the potions out yesterday, I found a £13 potion I bought last year and have hardly used:eek: and a £27 yve st lauren exfoliator:eek: I will use the whole box before buying another single one:T

Ive got the lunch dilema as well now.... very yummy deli at bottom of street or very very cheap work canteen food?!

Use the exoliator on smaller areas where you have the lumpy stuff.

I use facial exfoliator wen I think I'm getting some on the lower bits of my thighs
