it does

I'm too pale & eyebrows too light - might see if I can get them tinted

Mine always looks too dark to start with, but it either fades or I get used to it.

I want a spray tan - i'm bored with the pale and interesting look. Has anyone had one? A place up the road has a special offer on St Tropez but i'm scared of turning orange.

Thanks Fitz, i don't know why i'm struggling with the idea of cutting him out completely, but i will get there. I also don't want my kids exposed to drugs and would have always said i'd never even go near one myself because they are compulsive liars!

He says he's clean already because he's on a methadone programme and they drugs test him apparently before they give him his prescription to prove he's playing ball and not just picking up the methadone to sell on (i imagine??).

Realistically i don't know how access would work as he's 120 miles away and has no car, and there's no way i'd drive her down there for him, like his ex wife does!! And to see her regular he'd have to live here. That's why i suggested applying for a cheap council flat up here, although IMO he could just get one private rented and get another job, he's qualified to do different things so it's not like he's restricted! (fitness instructor, hotel manager and some metal testing inspector? lol) But in his eyes that's all too much hassle and he wants me to just have him move back in here. The fact i ached so much after decoraitng on my own when heavily preg is enough to make sure i won't let that happen.

.. Elle, I'm sorry yours is being such a willy head - is there any chance he'll figure it out?

I'll bloody well spell it out to him if I have to, though I'm not sure it'll sink in. It's £35 to cancel the hotel opposed to the £87 it'll cost to go or cancel after 5pm tonight. Have txt him to tell him that and his reply just now was "go anyway, might give me a chance to make it up to you and finish what I planned". Not sure I actually care any more.

(yes I'm being pigheaded and stubborn and stupid and selfish, but it was my birthday and I damn well deserved more effort than he put in *stomps foot*)

On a brighter note, Squishy - I just got a Taggie Doll through the post too. I actually ordered a Taggie blanket the other day from Jojo Maman Bebe, and thought they had sent the wrong thing for a minute! Holly is chewing it to death already. x

Hehehe Elena is nomming the face off this poor doll just now: I think it's a hit :rotfl: You should hear the squelching noises!

Sami, a friend said that they don't go alone with the leaders until they're in proper Scouts, but he'd be a Beaver so parents all go too. But i'm sure i won't be the only single parent and with a younger baby. I wouldn't have a clue about camping
....

oh you wouldn't get me camping nevermind with a load of kids :rotfl:
I don't know what age is what, just remember my friend who's a scout mentioning looking after 'the little ones'

I've had st trop sprays before, you won't be orange with them,
make sure you think about what your wearing when you go, I always wear my own knickers but they offer you paper ones, you need clothes and shoes to be loose, a shirtdress is ideal coz you don't have to put it over your head, you can't go out after one until you've showered (and it smell mingy) and sleep on an old towel coz otherwise you'll have brown sheets!
as soon as you get home wash your palms :cool:

Sami_Bee
