Morning everyone.

Sammy,
I'm not *quite* 40 yet, but I will be in a year and a half-I have come across the strange form of ageism before (and I really shouldnt complain) where people think I am younger than I am and are prejudice towards me becasue of it. I also think because for so many years, I worked in the cosmetics industry, I always wear 'full makeup' when I go for interviews and when it is a job in the 'metal' industry I guess they worry I will be too 'girlie'? Anyway, I am sooooo sick of *having* to be made up and being just so, frankly, id be glad NOT to have to wear makeup etc.

It must make a nice change to not feel like you've got to make a huge effort just to go to work. I'm the opposite.... it's a huge effort for me TO put make up on. lol

And also a huge effort for me too

Morning all ::hello:
I'm too lazy to put make up on in the morning and then I see the girls putting it on on the train and think 'I could do that' but never do...:o

Did HMRC tax credit calculator and we 'could' be entitled to £59.04 for the year. But that's on both full salaries - should i be working it out based on what I'll earn with SMP or with full salary

I have given away department stores of stuff away-I tend to use the same things everyday...

But, yes, it will be nice not to HAVE to wear it!

With SMP. Figure out how many weeks it'll be then take £100 off each week before adding up everything else. That's your income for the year for tc purposes.

and if I tried to do my make up on the train I'd end up with eyeliner all over my forehead!

Morning all ! Great news about the job bunny. Any chance of some makeup tips on here ?

OOh I could DEFINITELY do with some make up tips! Like how on earth do you have immaculate make up and not spend a fortune on it?!

Morning all.. slept in till 8.30 this morning Thank goodness for flexi time!

Another one here with lots of make-up I hardly use. I'm a 'have to wear foundation' person but don't always bother with anything else, am currently having a phase of putting eyeshadow and mascara on for work but will probably get bored with that in about a week. I go through lipgloss by the ton though!
