    Ewww, I can't stand tattoos, think they look very nasty very quickly as they fade or body shape alters.
    Agreed! My friend has 3 butterflies on her lower stomach/hip and when she gets pregnant or puts on weight they'll turn into giant moths! Not for me thank you very much! I think the coloured ones look worst as the colours fade and skin gets old, a guy at work (about 60) has a woman on his arm; I'm sure she was a stunner in her time but now she looks as old as he does!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    :rotfl: I worry what'll happen to my bellybutton piercing hole if I ever have a baby, I imagine being able to see into it and wave at the baby :eek:

    My sister has 3 stars on her hip, she says she's going to adopt so they don't stretch!
    My mum has a fair few, Rammstein logo on the back of her neck, flower on her back (both getting covered up next month) a T on her foot, flower with vines on the top of her wrist and a dragon on the back. She's a little rocker my mum!
    I used to have snake bites and still have the marks on my lips. I hate the marks they've left!

    LOL! I remember watching Extreme Makeover and a woman had a tummy tuck but the part of her tummy that they had to cut off had a tattoo on and by the end there was only half of it left so it looked really odd!

    I used to want those! But the main reason was that I didn't want the holes if I took them out, so I'm glad that I didn't! I had my tragus done last year and I loved it, but my body doesn't like piercings :( I'm considering attempting my rook done instead. I only really consider ear piercings cuz my work don't like them. :rolleyes:

    That hairband is so cute! But think the tattoos are a step too far!

    Good luck finding a course, Cinny - I have to agree that if you can do it while you're living at home that sounds fab. Otherwise there will always be other things to spend your money on - especially in your new house :)

    I've just got my contracts through for my new job - yippee! I've already mentally allocated my first three months' salary! As OH has been covering the mortgage himself for the last few months, we've decided that it makes sense to put £250 a month from my share into a regular saver so we have it when the interest rates go up again. I'll still have more than I did before to put towards debts so hopefully we'll be in a much better position in 6 months time.

    Also after all this gym talk I've lost 1 1/2 pounds this week! I'd rather it was a little bit more, especially as my charming OH said 'that's only a big poo'! But it's a step in the right direction :D

    I have a question: when selling books on Amazon do you put the selling price at 1p like everyone else?

    TIA x

    Lovely!! Great news about the contracts, you must be so excited to have money again!

    Cinny your mum has a Rammstein tattoo?!?! :rotfl: Where did she get a little cupcake cutie-pie like you from?!

    (What's snake bites? Tragus? :confused:)

    Sorry Zig, never used Amazon, I hoard all my books :D

    We have a major case of role reversal somedays. Like on Sunday mum went to Download, I stayed at home baking and doing the washing! :rolleyes:

    Snake bites are lip piercings at either side of your mouth.

    Zig - I put them at 1p if that's what the lowest list price is, I just keep them to roughly the same as the other listings.
