    Makeup: 5 bad people, I feel the same way :D

    Thanks for cheering me up ladies, reading this thread always brings a smile to my face!

    I was invited to join my two very attractive housemates to get smashed last night and pull a sicky today but being the stupid, stupid man I am I took the responsible option and said no. Am sooo regretting it now I'm stuck in work!

    You are a woman of iron will...and I am very, very impressed.

    once I open the email I am immediately sucked in and see the lovely bargains and beautiful shoes etc... not looking is sort of like ripping a plaster off as opposed to peeling painfully for ages:o.

    Sarah - I think I saw a wooden box marked "Sarah's Mojo" just off Southampton, so it is on its way back and you should be reunited with it soon. It had a little bag attached marked "New Plans"... ;)

    Oh thank goodness :j I shall rip the bag open immediately, I need those contents:D

    New plans all round then.

    My diet has gone to ruin - it's hormone week here which means I have overwhelming urges to shovel toast & peanut butter, biccies, chocolate, anything really into my mouth.

    Grrrr, snarl, rant etc.
