    Well other Mac stuff I have bought hasn't actually run out... Unfortunately the foundation i bought before was not a good colour. Got it at an outlet store for cheaper but is too pale for me. You do get a good size bottle though and I don't use too much so will last me a while! Have been looking for a good concealer for a while too as my skin is rubbish. The woman at the MAC store showed me what the foundation would look like and the concealer, although I am not sure I will do it as good. The concealer made a lot of difference to udner my eyes, which i didn't expect.

    It is expenisve but personally I think it is worth it. Should really just be using what I have got really though....

    No i totally agree its worth it if your skin isnt the best. My skin is awful and i will only buy bare esscentuals mineral powders which cost alot, although i buy them through ebay so cost about half the price of QVC!!

    I must have a look at that one day, maybe when I have actually used up the stuff I have. I have heard very good things about it and great if you can get it cheaper

    Well have done my new Monday morning thing of transfering the odd money in my account over to OD fund. Was 5.33 today so is creeping up slowly.

    Had to complain to Virgin as we haven't had internet since Wednesday. They said should be working today... so they say every day. There are giving us a week refund on our next bill though.

    Managed to sell the CD that i put on Amazon, just need to get that ready to send now. That will be another 8 quid to the OD fund.

    Been food shopping tonight, managed to do it for reasonable amount. Got lots of meat and stuff as well. We are off to Southampton for the weekend so didn't need that much.

    The fees are a little high. My CD was on for 9.75 plus they charge postage on top and i get 8.14 or something in total inlcuidng my postage money. It is easy to use though and you don't have to pay unless you sell something.

    Took CD to be posted, massive queue as usual, was near the front but people seem to take so long. Don't know what they are doing!

    got a few surveys in my inbox and want to write a review later so we will see how i get on.
