    I think she's after something, the Chanel foundation is because I 'don't have any good stuff' I use benefit!

    Benefit's pricey enough for me! I don't have any but sometimes go and try out all the testers in the shop until the orange ladies scare me off.

    thay all sound the same to me

    Oh shush Grandma ;)
    Only Kidding, you're lovely and young and youthful with fantastic hair! And you can rent VW campers!

    As for make up, Benefit is pricey! That's why I'm in shock (/slightly upset) she said I haven't got any good stuff. I think it just shows our divide, I thought £40 for my Cath Kidston bag was a lot, she gets a Mulberry bag and thinks nothing of it!

    I loved Busted, they were my original love before McFly came on the scene! I remember sayig to my friends, 'Oooh, Busted are on tour, shall we go?' and agreeing that we were all too skint (last year of A Levels) and that we'd go the following year; they broke up a few months later! Gutted!
    And I really am too old to like McFly too, my friend and I are usually among the oldest people there without kids! It doesn't deter us though! It's nice to have a bit of a regression and scream like a 13 year-old!
    Cinny, how can your Sister say that Benefit isn't good enough?! I love Benefit when I can afford it, I usually have to beg my Mum to buy it for me for Christmas!

    Oooh, talking of 'Year 3000' I was listening to a Jonas Brothers album (I'm just getting cooler and cooler today!) and they've done a cover of it!

    I felt so old when I went to see Hannah Montana! and when I was begging OH to let me go see Jo-Bro as a group of 8 year olds wandered past with their 3d glasses giving me funny looks...

    My first benefit makeup came from begging my mum for a solid 8 months (quite chuffed by my staying power) and getting some for Christmas last year. My sister is a designer junkie though, at least she knows the value of it and saves up for it rather than getting it all from the bank of daddy. Quite chuffed she's getting me the chanel make-up though (even though I keep telling her not too) it's like she's accepted me into her world or something. Will refrain from saying 'Chanello!' to the lady at the counter when we go..

    Did Busted come before McFly then? And who are these Jonas Brothers you speak of?!

    Don't worry Birdie, with current trend Busted will soon be reforming and going on tour again I'm sure! Even the Nolan Sisters have reformed!

    (And no Cinny I don't remember THEM from the first time, cheeky young whippersnapper! :p)

    Does your sister have a great job Cinny or just lots of credit cards? I can't get how anyone can just go buy a £400 bag or whatever if they're not earning loads or have a wallet full of plastic!
