    I am very pale too - try mixing it with moisturiser to make it less intense :)

    It is moisturiser, but it has little beads of bronzer in it. I thought it'd be nice until the beads of 'bronzer' burst and you look like you've got muddy streaks down your face :eek:

    I could mix it with more moisturiser I suppose...dilute it a bit more...

    I got Marie Claire again tonight. I already have it on subscription, but they don't send the free gifts and it was a Neals Yard moisturiser, so I'll give the magazine away and try the moisturiser.

    I think the moisturiser will help - I did it when I bought too dark a shade of tinted moisturiser once :o (have been there with the muddy face look!)

    Got my She in the post today (another free subscription from Nectar) but was tempted by Marie Claire in Tesco (have resisted so far - might treat myself at the weekend if I have managed my 1lb weightloss target :D)

  • Hi all, well my last day off today back to work tomorrow. finally my friend is transferring the money she owed me into my account his week £50 so thats good and just created two letters one to co-op bank for £190 charges and all & leic £757.50 from 2007, they're the new letters before you go to ombudsman so hoping I will get some reply from that. I have gone through the financial difficulty thing , all & leic refunded me all last years charges but the others from 2007 are still outstanding and they were rejected. co-op on the other hand had all my statements, mortage etc and payslips and recent account statement from all & leic and they rejected it saying I had £118 to live on for the month and that the £550 o/d cannot be taken into account.

    so these are the last letters before I go to ombudsman.

    Got doctors this afternoon, hopefully will get some antibiotics for my inflamed gums, something for my thumb and going to ask as why I my face is trying to grow a beard on my chin:eek: .

    Had bacon sarnie for lunch and its egg noodles again for tea tonight with sweetcorn and peas. Im actually quite liking the cheap teas.

    When I get paid monday I am off to netto with the calculator and got some recipes from the essentials magazine (free copy) so going to use them for teas and lunches.

    Feeling chirpier I even swept the back of my street as one of my neighbours has green moss growing at the back of her gate and I got sick of seeing it so scraped it up and swept it off and sprayed with weedkiller. She never ventures out the back at all and leaves her bin outside all year and not in her yard like the rest of us.

    Hope your italian was good shoegal.:)

    *peeks head round corner*

    Anyone remember me??

    I'm back finally :D I have a shiny new laptop and the student elections are over, I didn't win but I didn't really expect to either!

    The money saving isn't going too well but I have been working a fair bit recently, did 17hrs at £8 an hour over the weekend :D

    Hope that you're all well... Butterfliesarepretty... who were you before??
