    ^Sorry to hear that VNMS, don't be too hard on yourself. I hope things improve soon xxx

    I've been into town, posted my ebay parcels & returned the hair dye no problem. £4.50 refunded. Spent £5.94 on p&p which is a necessity, paid by the buyer so I don't count this.

    So far so good...might be going to the supermarket later, and then for my jog, but hopefully the only thing I'll buy will be some decaff tea (keep forgetting :mad:).

    I'm having a MSD day today :) Going to go into town later, want to return the two faux leather jackets I brought for £4.99 to HM, no receipt, one with tag one i havnt worn but i cut tag off and lost said tag, they say £14.99 on the tag though, so wouldn't it be amazing if I got the full £30 back! Free clothes!

    Need a few other items too for tomorrow, need a small packet of freshen up wipes, dont want to carry my big packets, a mini mirror to do my hair lol, and some snack a jacks cos i feel sick on a journey :)

    Wonder if any of you ladies would know, on a train if I got a table seat, do they have a power plug? Thinking I will want to re-do my hair on the train cos I cant imagin having much time tomorrow morn lol. Might have to go into the back of the train near the doors and do it lol.

    Actually no mirror required :) Recieved my bodyshop makeup, and I have to say its absoloutly beautiful. Comes in a lovely presentation box, no gordy colours with a lovely large mirror, it was a splurge but I feel very glad I did splurge on this :)
