Ooooh sounds lovelyI LOVE really dark nail polish, thinking of getting a black one:cool:.

I usually have acrylic but thought it was starting to look a bit Jordan/lap dancer ishso now have gel!
It's a sort of 'semi permanent' manicure - goes on like polish but is set under a UV lamp. Doesn't chip or anything, just grows out! Then after 2 weeks I have it soaked off and begin again
Will keep it until I get fed up then probably go back to acrylic

I can't bear to watch people doing things like open cans of pop or taking staples out with their nails :rolleyes:Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56Weightloss : 0/34lbs0 -

Hi Shoe Gal & all
Glad to see there is a new & achievable plan on the go
As for teeth & nails remember :
They're jewels, not tools :rotfl:

I have turned from Monica in friends to a slob around the house, but lately have tried to tidy up a bit more
Some tips for you all
Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil when I get in from work, I sort out any post (keep, bin, recycle)
Whilst waiting for the kettle to boil after the first cuppa you can, wash a small amount of dishes, put any dry dishes away, wipe surfaces over , put a wash on etc
Basically do anything instead of watching the kettle boil, its amazing what these few minutes a evening add up to
I read that when ever you leave a room you should aim to have something in each hand that needs to be put away (or more if desired)
Advert breaks are a few minutes (like the tea) when you can do some more tidying, put ironing away etc
Hope that helpsMortgage Aug 12 £165K, Aug 19 £0
