    I'm not going to be able to go to Italian tonight, I've not been well enough to have a shower and can't go the state I'm in.

    Good news though, my care plan has been approved, so that can start moving now.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    How are you doing Elfen?

    I stocked up on fireworks today for the kids but it's not looking very nice out there!

    Am ok linda. The hair has been bleached, and decided not to get it cut as I like how it's looking so far. Managed to spend a bit tooo much money, but I had to get the body butter and scrub from Body Shop....it's smells and feels nice!

    I know, I love the sugar scrub, tip for you - use it on dry skin, not wet. really work it into the skin to get rid of those dead skin cells then rinse it off in the shower. It feels like more of a 'spa' treatment then. Not only will you not need as much but it'll make your skin feel incredibly soft so it drinks in the body butter afterwards!
    It also helps to increase circulation which draws out toxins from the body and will feel a bit tingly and leave you glowing!!!!! :D

    Linda, that's a brilliant tip! I use it on a scrubber anyway so I use a lot less, and it makes my skin tingle as I really work it in to get rid of all the cack that's on my body after going on trains and walking on traffic laden roads. The body butter is so so lovely, leaves my skin soft and smelling good for ages, so it's a good investment.

    Red, I may have to go to Lush next time I'm at uni and get a couple so I can have long relaxing baths and smell like a cherry.

    Am still grinning, Pint booked the table for 8 at a local French bistro....so I'm gonna get all glammed up and show him what he's been missing ;) Also got uni during the day to sort the second presentation, then to the cinema on Saturday afternoon with my bestest bud from college :D
