    Oh I forgot - my DD and I are going to try out a homemade aspirin face mask as recommended in the Thrift Book. Apparently the results are as spectacular as the most spectacularly expensive facial.

    I will let you know how we get on!

    • checked my banking and updated who I need to chase up for work collections (am owed #55!)
    • got myself a free 10 squid sainsburys voucher because our delivery didn't come in the specific hour... I didn't even need to ask for it! :T
    Cheers all
