    LOL - well it took me about 4 hours to work out how to post a pic but in the end I uploaded a pic to a hosting website i.e. Photobucket or Image Shack then copied the URL it generates.
    Then click on the 'insert image' button at the top of a post (the yellow one with mountains on it) and paste the URL into it. Bit complicated and it took me a few attempts but it worked in the end! If you scroll back a few pages here, Laura et al offer a few different ways of doing it if that doesn't work...

    Everyone here is lovely and it's really nice to see what everyone looks like! I wonder if it IS true that attractive people that are more often in debt? My theory is attractive people find themselves in demand socially and must buy lovely clothing/accessories because they're OBVIOUSLY going to be gawped at when they leave the house.

    Rosered I need to know your secret. Seriously, what is it? Oil of Olay? A fountain of youth in your garden? All that country air? You look amazing and phwoar to young husband too! Go you! :T


    Hi Ruby - I love your theory - very funny!

    Re my secrets :rotfl: :rotfl: Ruby and Princess, Mineral make-up (I have used only that since I was 25) and No 7 protect and perfect moisturiser. nothing else. Also, unfortunately, if you are too thin at 45, you can look a bit lined and thin in the face, so as you can see, I have allowed myself to get bigger! (That's my excuse)

    Right, I'm off to Boots...

    Morning gorgeous girls!

    You have all been most kind in your comments - especially as my only good feature (the red hair) doesn't show cos the photo colours are a bit weird. Never mind. I am in a GOOD MOOD as I lost 2lbs this week! Tra la laaa - promptly scoffed some birthday cake:rotfl: . Am off on a bit of a trip for the rest of the day but will catch up later.

    Blondie - thinking of you at your interview today. x

    Hi Dozy Dee. Re mineral make up - forget the compact sort - it has to be powder form - messy I know, but you get used to it. The very best is bare Escentuals (also called bare minerals), a US brand I have always used. There are lots of cheaper copies on the high street - the best one I have found is L'Oreal True match Minerals - the brush that comes with it is also very good. if you buy just the minerals in a pot, you also need to get a good quality Kabuki brush (the cheap brushes are no good). Ebay sells bare Escentuals at good price. :) The good thing about mineral make-up is that it looks natural and it does cover marks and scars etc and it protects your skin from the sun. Mineral make-up has a 15 spf which is much better than nothing. Liquid foundations are awful - I could never wear it now - I think it makes me look older :)
