    I am off for a quick bath soon, have just done half an hour of step in front of the TV (watched 'The Delicious Miss Dahl', oh I want that house) and am feeling quite sweaty lol! Body butter shall follow, then fresh jim jams, then a good book... gosh I sound like it's the middle of winter! This weather is so horrible! Come on Spring, hurry up and start!
    It's quite dark here and I just completely misread that. I wondered if it was maybe TMI to know that you were going to have a good bonk tonight :eek::rotfl:.

    Yeah, its me....I said I'd started....I still haven't done a whole one. Its not as painful as waxing though....no way!

    I'm actually getting slightly addicted to the epilator DH said he's going to hide it when he sa me looking at the almost invisible hair on upper arms. If I can reach anywhere its in danger o being epilated right now.

    i wonder if ibroprofen gel 20 mins before would help under arms/bikini lines?

    OOOH good thinking :T Might give that a go later in the week... when I get some ibuprofen gel ;) My other plan was for my OH to hold me down and sit on my stomache and let him do the epilating. The pain killing gel might help him not getting kicked in the b*lls though. I'm also addicted, I only need to spy 1 teeny tiny hair that I could get with the tweezers but oh no here comes the epilator lol. My son wanted to know how it felt so I epilated his arm, only a little tiny bit though :o

    I cut the simple moistoriser bottle open to get the last dregs out last night and opened my new one this morning. No more messing with different things now, I'm sticking to what I know and what my skin prefers. I've had to put off having my hair cut because my skin was so bad after the boots vit e stuff :mad: I've got problem skin already but nothing like it has been this past 2-3 weeks. I've still got massive marks all over my face!!

    I'm not even temped to buy anything (good job cos I'm skiny) maybe a new set of makeup brushes but surely that doesn't count if I don't actually have any decent ones left?

    Happy birthday to all the birthday girls :j

    morning all

    didnt manage PYNM yesterday as i wanted to get some crocheting done last night so didnt want to waste time waiting for nails to dry.
    used up a bottle of handwash soap (replaced with one from the stash) and a small tube of boots organics toning body wash it was OK but have tons in my stash so wouldnt bother with that one again.
    used up a couple of sachets and an Olay fabric face mask

    im making the most of eldest DS gonbg out for the day and other 2 still not having surfaced and am sitting with my feet soakng in a lovely bowl of warm water and m&s royal jelly foot soak, it feels wonderful:)

    Glad you like the Boots double faced cosmetic pads Tara747 . I always used to be a cotton wool tart and buy anything. However, these are really nice. Well done on not looking at anything else when getting these!

    Just seen the BBQ glitch (looks like it's run out/corrected itself), wow if everyone gets it, wot a bargain.

    Well the judicious (er regular) use of body lotion is really making a lot of difference. My arms in particular. Quite looking forward to summer now :)

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I've just been reminded, by tying about today's great hair day on an other thread I finished a conditioner yesterday. wiba? yes, possibly. Its actually a horse conditioner and I leave it in when I use it. Its quite expensive, so I'm not going to buy it gain immediately, and also it has a VERY pronounced coconut smell which I don't like sometimes for perfume clashes, but OTOH today is such a great hairday I would be mad not to conditioner repurchase I think. Anyway, other conditioners to use up before that, so not an issue yet!

    WHich one lir ?? I used the cowboy magic on my hair once, but didnt like it much - I was swayed by them saying you can use it on yourself AND your horse - (now I just use Treseme vitamin E or the colour one on me and her - WAY cheeper and much better!!!)
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
