    Aw Birdie I feel for you. It makes me feel sick when I have to sit in a car with my sister. No offence to any smokers! :o

    Sorry I have no ideas on how to break it to her that she stinks! :p:o

    I know it won't go down well but I'd just tell her! I worked with a woman who was a chain smoker & coffee drinker so her breath stunk, one day she was leaning over me looking at the computer and I just said 'I'd rather you didn't lean so close' and scruched my nose up. Enter mint imperials and cans of body spray in the ladies! Saying this, we had a mutal hate for each other so I didn't feel bad for saying it. :o

    :eek: :rotfl:

    Haha! Good on you! Even if I hated someone I don't think I'd be brave enough to say anything!

    I need to go and start packing my stuff up to move. I'm going round my Nan's for dinner so we're taking two car loads round tonight to make it easier when I leave. I hope I find some money hidden in my room. :rolleyes:

    Went wedding dress shopping this morning, tried on 5, disliked 4, one was okay, this one. It was fine, but it was nothing that blew my socks off.

    Haven't bought anything in the Boots sale, all I wanted was some of the reduced sun cream, but the SPF 50 is gone, which is what NIM needs, so nm.

    Got my lush goodies today, I am beyond chuffed with how much they sent me, will post a piccie later.

    I really like that dress! Are you quite fussy or are they just rubbish dresses?!

    Can't wait to see your Lush stuff! I was so tempted but couldn't bring myself to spend £30 on toiletries when I have so much S&G stuff. LPS posted on a Grabbit thread that she has spent over £100 on Lush stuff in the past two weeks, it's crazy!

    Can't wait to see the Lush stuff either. I love a good haul pic! :D Really like that dress, I'm sure you'll find the one that makes you go 'wow' though.

    I know what you mean Zig, I have too much S&G to justify getting lots of Lush. But I buy it anyways! :D

    LPS £100 on Lush is a bit mental. I'm not liking how people are getting on at her on her thread though, just keep thinking 'give the girl a break!'

    I read that and immediately felt guilty! :o But then some people are being quite nasty, like making fun of the videos and stuff, but I'm trying to be helpful like trying to explain direct debits, but it's hard not to let your frustration show! Sometimes it's only when someone points something out (e.e £100 KG shoes = £100 off your debt) that it starts to hit you, so hopefully it will hit her soon.

    Good haul pics are great, they're *almost* as good as having the stuff yourself.. :rolleyes:

    That's a nice dress Dinah but I personally don't like the patches of beading, I think it looks a bit bumpy!

    I've never had anything from Lush... actually, I lie. Someone bought me a little soap set for Christmas a few years back and the stench of parma violets was so strong my Mum made me keep the box in the garage! I've never even been in one of their shops because the smell makes me feel sick, am I an grumpy old woman?!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Cinny! I wouldn't have thought you had that in you! Birdie, I'm sorry I'd just suffer in silence, it's like trying to tell someone they have BO, I just couldn't. Must be horrible though!

    Our Boots had been ransacked, at least the tampax was on offer and I did get myself a big pot of body scrub for £2. Resisted the £1-odd chocolates :D

    The dress is nice Dinah but you want something that you really LOVE.

    Good luck with finding money in your room Zig :D

    Zig - I didn't mean to make you feel guilty! Just felt a little sorry for her, people jumping on her back because she went out for a night an not one said well done when she paid nearly £450 off her debt.

    Birdie - Their shops do stink! I just float towards whatever's pink and buy it, as pink stuff always smells nice!

    ETA:
    Cinny! I wouldn't have thought you had that in you!

    I can be a tough cookie when I need to be! :D She was seriously nasty though, which made it easier.
