Tuesday 9th-daily chat...mulled wine anyone??

Burlesque_Babe

think I'll have to wait until tomorrow, oh well, every Friday slot was still available, can't see that changing overnight.

I've been asked to make and decorate a Christmas cake for work, then everyone pay £1 to guess the weight, winner gets the cake, money goes to charity. I've never baked a Christmas cake (I don't like it) so I'm putting my faith in Delia!

When are you going to dye it? If DD2 wont part with her mystic violet, they're on offer at Tesco from today, £3.40 from £4.47

well, the deal is I can have the dye tonight and in return I have to buy her two tomorrow. The reason its sitting in her room is because she needs two, so I have said i will get her two tomorrow, so off to tesco I go.

natalie is going to do it after Holby city...

I just gave myself the ultimate spa treatment as described earlier in the day!
The Body Shop Shea sugar scrub (left over from when I used to do the parties last year!)
scrubbed into dry skin using firm massaging, especially over any 'problem' areas. You can really feel the scrubbing and boost to your circulation.
My skin was just drinking in the pure Shea butter at the same time so after a few minutes it had been all absorbed and the dry sugar was dropping off into the bath!
My skin feels GORGEOUS now and it got me thinking about a really special present for Christmas for any ladies/girlfriends you have.

It'll cost about £20 (could be less if you shop carefully! If you have 3 girl friends to shop for take advantage of 3 for 2 offers! If you are giving these to a few friends , vary the contants of each pack so they can see that you've really thought about them as a person and the things they like! It'll be REALLY personal and special.
Purchase a scrub and body butter set from The Body Shop, Boots even the supermarket...whichever your friend likes! (does not have to be pensive!)

Then buy one of Primark's gorgeously thick and long towelling robes for £8
and a bottle of Griffith Park sparkling Rose from Tesco (£3.50) HIGHLY RATED DURING INDUSTRY TESTS RECENTLY!!! - My sis is a wine rep!
Boots do disposable shower caps which might go well too.

Wrap it all up beatifully E.G in floristry wrapping and include a handwritten note telling them that your gift to them is the gift of spa!
Describe how to use the products like I did earlier using tempting and sumptuous words, make it personal to them .

You could add or omit things depending on your friend's taste...
E.G. leave out the vino for someone who doesn't drink and include a lovely magazine/ nail polish, a really nice scented candle, camomile tea bags or an inexpensive book instead... even a pair of inexpensive spa type slippers or flip flops from Primark!
