Get well soon f_f!

I found one of those pink illuminating (?) face powder things from no7 that was being discussed last week (when going through my scary toiletries stash yesterday :eek:). Do you want it to make do until you can save up for some of your dandelion stuff? I'm sure I only got it as it was free due to some boots glitch or other in 2009...

Sorry to hear you're full of icky stuff - but please don't share it around.

Still - seems to have been a kind of productive day for you....

But if you need cheered up, I can tell you about my evil revenge that I have taken.

Christmas pressies were sent to 3 nephews. The 2 youngest are really too young to appreciate Santa so I sent them next jackets - Next, full price :eek: & very nice & also had the receipts incase they didn't fit. Anyhows, 31st Dec, what does SIL have on e-bay - but 2 next jackets - yes the same ones I had sent. After much ranting & some tears a plan was hatched. We bought the jackets over e-bay via a friend and they have arrived at her house today. We bought them back for approx £20 but the receipts are for £42 - so we'll take the jackets back & get that money back. Needless to say, future birthdays & Christmasses will be cheaper as we won't have to buy for 3 nephews:mad:.

To cap it all I got a thank you card on Saturday saying the jackets were lovely & 1 was 2 small so they had to change it for a bigger size.........

Oh, & the 31st got better - I got a call from ClootiesDad to say that he had managed to lock himself in the porch (about 30inch square) and counldn't get out. I had to drive 40 min home from work to rescue him (no heating in porch & hypothermia would have set in quickly) before I set off back to work to finish the day.......

Hope you feel better soon
