    Darn it! I could have probably got even more for the nursing bras if I'd thought about the perv market lol!

    With the loopy bun, a tip I used the other day is to ponytail your hair and then plait the ponytail, if you wrap the plait round in a loose bun then you get loops, if you pull it about a bit then secure with grips it looks pretty good. I took pictures for my blog but it's about a week ago if you want to go digging!

    i really want to loose 4 stone but have 0 motivation and i feel crap!

    aw have you tried low carb? I do a very strict low carb food plan (but not atkins) have lost a total of 38lb (I had lost 49lb but put 11lb back on over 6 months of trying to eat carbs again). I don't binge eat anymore and the cravings have totally gone away x

    Thank you :o It's dead easy to do - I can't cope with complicated hair stuff, don't even own a pair of straightners.

    Hair up in a high ponytail.
    Split it roughly into 6 parts (could probably do fewer but I have quite a lot of hair!)
    Twist each part round and round so it curls on itself and jab a few hair pins in at strategic points.
    Repeat for all 6 parts
    Jab in extra pins throughout the day when it all falls out :rotfl:

    oOOOoo thank you for that, I'm rubbish with hair stuff, but having really thick curly hair doesn't help matters much

    Hi guys, just checking in for the night...

    Queenie, I think you asked about my eyebrows?? I really don't do much with them, just pluck them from underneath to tidy stragglers and give them an occasional lick with vaseline to keep them conditioned and relatively smooth. (I don't do groomed... :rotfl:)

    Hello everyone! Very stressful day today, 20yo daughter got the sack from work which means until she gets another job my life might well be taken up with stroppy post-teen stuff so you might not see so much of me! still, fingers crossed she will get something before long.

    outfit of the day today was -
    long dark grey skirt (Per Una via CS)
    black v-neck jumper (Next via CS)
    purple fancy knit tights (Asda sale)
    black biker boots (Tesco)
    grey and silver floral weave scarf (Primark)

    I'll try and get my blog updated tomorrow - ooh, and I bought a Lidl tripod yesterday, hoping to have a play with that.
  • Oh does anyone else find it so much more difficult to sleep somewhere other than your own bed/house? Sleeping in my friend's spare room, which is where her bf keeps his pet snakes also - there are 6 in total..
    Not that I was tired anyway..

    On the nail polish front, I was in superdrug today and really fancy some Barry m nail polishes, the colours looked so nice and you lot always seem to say they're the best ones! So they are also added to the shopping list for Liverpool..

    Sharona, yes the view is lovely and the flat is always really nice and bright in the daytime -love living on the third floor!

    If he's wearing that wrinkly forehead like he did in Galaxy Quest, you can have him!! lol

    DaisyB - just been looking at your blog and I love last weeks yellow tights and the black shoes. You look very pretty with the new haircut (not that you didn't before, but you know what I mean!).

    Vicki - I once had a strange experience selling some brand new underwear. I got an email from a potential buyer asking if he won it, would I wear it before sending it. I blocked him and sent his email to the "go away, dirty pervert" folder. :rotfl:I felt a bit grubby after reading it as well!

    Thank you, I feel better for having had my hair cut, less scruffy and balding :o

    Loving the ebay stories, I wish I could sell some shoes for that much money!
    I saw someone selling used rubber gloves with a bit of a fetishy description in the title, I can't believe there is a market for that kind of thing.

    I've just caught up with all the blogs. Is it just me or is anyone else really confused about who is who? Can someone more clued up put a little who's who guide together? Or maybe the peole with blogs can put some kind of hint as to their MSE name in their profile?

    I have considered selling used things haha, but I always get freaked out at the idea :eek:
    You know who I am blog wise, right?!

    Barry M = yes! I have so many of their colours, I take advantage of their 3 for £4.99 (I think) offers that happen from time to time!


    Blah
    rubbish nights sleep again, but at least I've had time to down lots of coffee prior to work.
    Currently rocking the polyester dream that is Tesco uniform, hot stuffffffff. Had to slap on more makeup than I usually wear to make sure customers dont think I've mistaken Valentines weekend for Halloween :rotfl:

    Back later, when I return, full of soup from my grandparents!
