    Sounds like a lovely weekend all in all, even if it was a bit spendy.

    Ohh Mac make up Poddle, I love that! My foundation from there has lasted me so long.

    I think you definately need to treat yourself, I find it keeps me going even if it is just something little.

    I Lordy, I wish you hadn't posted that Benefit Kit- I want!

    I just got a load of new face stuff for free from the Vie party but Benefit is so much nicer, it's one of my favourite makes! Even the girl doing the party told me to get Erase Paste and she's supposed to be selling Vie stuff!

    You weekend sounds like it was lovely albeit a bit spendy! I'd love to have dogs to walk when it's nice weather, OH's parents are adamant they're not getting a new dog though and we can't have one until we have a house so I may just have to walk an imaginary one for now!

    You should get one of those invisible dog leads from Blackpool! :D Me and my Sister are trying to convince our parents we need one more pup to complete our group. But, apparently 'five is enough' pfft! Never heard such nonsense. There's a little black labrador pup wanting a new home, 12 weeks old and I was going to call him Arthur :(

    Feeling totally rubbish today. Really nauseous, faint and basically sleepy. Just focusing on getting this morning over with, putting my slobby clothes on when I get home and curling up for the afternoon. Like a little bear or something!

    Ended up doing a little bit of morning shopping to cheer myself up. Which bought my bank balance way down. Snuck the money from the old house fund, but I'll put it back in whenever I get my wages for last weeks/this weeks overtime. Majorly jumping the gun, but at least I'll have nicely even skin.

    Ooh everyone's weekends sounds so lovely - doesn't the sun just lift the spirits? We went out walking yesterday and it didn't seem that sunny but my face feels like a little furnace today so must have caught it a bit!

    All this talk of expensive make-up, I've never bothered with it, but perhaps that's why I'm not too fussed about it, I've never tried it so I don't know how great it is?! What did you buy Cinny? :D

    I did spend a little too much :o I got a 209 eyeliner brush, Mineralize Blush in Rhapsody In Two, Studio Finish Concealer (has SPF 35 or something! and the only thing I was meant to buy from them..*ahem*) and an eyeshadow in 'Naked Lunch' which looks like this.

    Having a clear out of my makeup draw this afternoon though, making way for the new stuff! Have a couple things I've been trying to stetch out as they were running low, but now I've got the mac-y replacements I can use them up. And some empty packaging that I never got around to chucking out once I used it up.

    Am now eating my fudge bar, and I'm certain it's making me feel better.

    Oooh, I'm all excited! Glee in a couple minutes :D Picked up a bar of galaxy for me and my sister to scoff when its on.

    Feeling loads better, way less faint and sickly. Think curling up on the sofa with my book did it! Had a nice bubble bath too. One good thing of being a girl at this time, you don't get moaned at for having a lazy couple hours.

    Remembered I'm going to BeautyUK this weekend. Don't think I'll be buying much at all, if anything actually. Just going to keep my Mum company really. Should be fun though!

    I've only watched a couple of Glee - I'm gonna get the boxset though eventually! I wanna watch gossip girl too. What's BeautyUK?

    Love the Benefit kit! I've been pondering over whether to get that for a while..

    I'm a bit of a Gleek, so can't understand how you could just watch a couple and not the rest of the series! Was good though, I missed it!

    Biggest news for this morning is I've paid my laptop off. I had some extra money to move into it and only had £150 to go so moved it out of my ISA. So that's the debt gone! Don't know if I'll be posting on here as much now, daily update wise. :think: Nice to have that commitment gone. Can start putting money away for my iPad now! (and iPod touch.. *ahem*)

    I'm a Gleek too! :D

    Well done on getting rid of the laptop debt! You've got to still come on here with updates though! Like you say, you've got to start saving for the iPad! And I like the girly make up talk!
