    Get yourself booked into your local college for a couple of cheap treatments. Students are supervised so you shouldn't come to any harm!

    Thanks all!

    Not sure I can justify chocolate having just wolfed down an instant whip (no chew calories. The laziest sugar fix ever). With the result that sexy knickers aren’t going to look too good on me right now 

    Looking for clothes on ebay somehow ended up with me lusting after a white violin (haven’t played of 20+years!!)

    I think it might have to be book, and a soak in the bath. Maybe with a walk outside to get it?

    Will reflect until rush hour traffic clears.

    Thanks all, keep ‘em coming!

    Ps What’s nandos?

    I would treat myself to this:

    and this:

    Ok, it comes to a little over £6 but where do you know you can get a foundation, blusher and a bit of lippy for under a tenner? (The lippy will double up as a blusher).

    You may be skint but you dont have to look it.:D

    A big bubble bath, preferably with a glass of wine in one hand and a good book in the other. Bliss, and should be do-able for a fiver....

    The cinema idea sounds good to me.
    But if you know anyone that works at a cinema, get them to give you one of their staff tickets they are allowed so you can get in for FREE, and use the fiver to buy a big bar of chocolate and some crisps to smuggle in.
