by the way someone (was it MOS?) was asking about beauty tips. Here's a couple more in addition to the Vaseline Hand and Nail cream for the face!

- Lidl have packs of excellent face wipes for 77p! Great and quick for wiping off the grime/makeup of the day before you go to bed, even if you are really tired (or dare I say, a bit merry). They dont make your eyes sting either, like some.

- buy a self-wax kit (pot of wax that you heat up in the microwave, the cloth bits and the spatula thing). Brilliant for quickly getting rid of any fluff on upper lip or chin (if you are of a certain age like me!) so you always look well groomed and gorgeous without having to pay for horrid salon treatments.

- drink loads of water

- always always always put moisturiser on before you go to bed to give your skin a good "drink" whilst you sleep

- buy a scrubby face sponge thingy (from superdrug/boots) which you can use with a liquid/gel cleanser in the shower in the mornings. Any cheap old cleanser will work as it's the slight exfoliation from the sponge that gets rid of your old skin cells and will make your skin glow and get it fantastically clean and looking fresh.

- if you get the odd spot, as soon as you feel one coming along, dab a bit of sudocrem on it (nappy cream). Works a treat.

- buy a pinky brown lippy. Just that on its own, if you have no time/dosh for anything else, gives you an instant well groomed look (esp if you have followed the scrubby/moisturising tips above!)

If I think of some more, I'll pop them on later....

YM, another one for me please, waiting for complacency to kick in now :rolleyes: Oh, and another thing, why is it that since you changed my total to 25 you made the 25 all big, you trying to rub my nose in it

I have not got a clue how that happened to be honest. Cant change it back either so you will both just have to put up with a large one .

Sorry to hear about the job situation lurky. Hope it all works out OK.

Now we are all doing really well so keep it up as we enter the final straight

Lovely day down souf so it would be rude not to take advantage of it and am off for a round of Golf

Catch you all later
