yeah I think so. Thats all I do.
Might want to use a pestle and morter if you have one just to make it smaller, some people use sugar to make a scrub, or lemon juice of oily skin, I have even heard of using avocado as well (not sure what type of skin that is for)
Just leave it on your face for about 15 mins and wash off.

Hello,

Thank God MSE is back up and running!


Well, Friday didn’t really go to plan, I ended up having to get the train home as my dad had to go on a break down and I ended up staying late as a driver called in sick and boss had to go out on a route, didn’t get home with Joe until gone 8, so just threw together pesto pasta.

Saturday was a good day, most of the flat is looking good, living room, kitchen and my bedroom are sorted. Still need to repaint the hallway and Joes room needs a major job, his bed is nearly dead and he needs new furniture really. But this isn’t going to happen just yet so we will have to make do, im going to start trying to save what little change I have to go towards it.

Did go shopping and somehow spent £42.52 on food / cleaning bits and cat food. Didn’t actually get much food for us and I did spend a pointless £6ish on wine and cream cakes. Still going to keep a running list off what’s in the cupboards etc it helps with my meal planning.

Sunday was the usual, Joes tutor came round he had an ok session, his concentration goes at about 45 mins in. But it’s worth it. His tutor is away next Sunday so is going to come round on Wednesday instead. And even though its half term, I am going to do a couple of worksheets I printed off from the BBC website with him.

Had a full chicken roast dinner on Sunday too with Apple Pie to finish, it was lush!

Managed to make 3 small plate pies out of the leftovers too.

I still have about 7-8 loads of washing to clear, it’s a flipping nightmare, still I scrubbed the washing machine today as it was so dirty, and then put it on a hot wash to clear it all out.

Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!

:j Two four day weeks :j

My dad bought me in this morning £2.60 saved! Going to put this in the jar towards Joes Bedroom Fund! Forgot my pasta salad that is sitting in the fridge though :mad:
Joe has gone to the childminders this week, and it will cost a fortune in fees :eek: But I cant get any time off this month so thats just the way it is.

Have a day out to the beach on Saturday with my dad and co, still deciding on where to go, as if we bring the dog it limits where we go. Ive been put in charge of the picnic (AGAIN) :eek: But at least i dont need to help towards fuel, and its only 3 adults and Joe. Really looking forward to it, just hope its okish weather. So need a few ideas, my dad is not keen on my HM bread, so might get some of those part baked bagettes Not sure yet, but will search the old style boards for yummy ideas.

Forgot to update my spends sig, i got two pairs of shoes/boots re healed on Saturday, for £9, but it saved me having to buy new ones :money:

Hope everyone had a great weekend and enjoyed the sunshine

Right, been thinking about this picnic, my dad is so fussy and will only eat certain things, same with his GF and well, Joe im lucky with, he will eat anything.

Dads GF - Ham Bagette
Dad - Chicken Bagette
Joe - Egg Mayo and Ham
Me - What ever is left, may treat myself to some mozzerella to go with ham

Will grab some cartons from the supermarket to keep Joe happy. And i need to get a whole chook as it would be cheaper that way (dad wont eat processed meat) And i need to get some wangy ham as thats all dads GF will eat.
Just need something sweetish to go with it, if there is nothing on offer than i might make up a fridge cake. But thats the plan, just simple food, as
1) I have to make it and
2) Im paying for it too!

Going to pop up to lidls at lunch to have a look, can pick up the bagettes today as they will last, BUT im also craving their brie so may have to get a little pack

Must not spend too much !

Hi Angie!


MMmmmmm -BRIE!!! Now I want some cheese!! lol

Glad things are going well - I haven't been around so much recently... work keeps getting in the way!!

A day out at the beach sounds good. Most beaches down this way will allow dogs on them until the 1st May!!

Laters, Nats x

hmmmmmmmmm, not to impressed with Lidl's anymore, everything has seemed to go up.

On a brighter side, no money spent!

Just munchin on sausage roll that was bought in by one of the drivers - so free lunch too!

Cheese is my downfall, i can just eat blocks of the stuff

Will check out what beaches will let the dogs on, good to know! :T

Work getting in the way of MSE :eek::eek::eek:

:hello:Morning All,

No free lift today as dad had blood tests, so just £2.60 on train in.

I was a bad mum last night though and gave in to Joes request of fish and chips, from the shop, ive got a horrid cold, and to be honest really couldnt be bothered to cook, so that was another £2 from the grocery budget. Worth it though as i just chilled on the sofa.

Raided the medi box at home and found some sinutab tablets and they seemed to of cleared my head a bit.

Must get back to work, its month and year end and its just so manic so no MSE at work for a while me thinks.

Will hopefuly be able to log on tonight at home
