    Morning all,

    Happy Birthday G & B.:beer:

    We had a very nice curry last night then we had a little walk around the Castle. We couldn't go too far as i had stupid shoes on and no coat. The Indian seems to have reduced the portion sizes which is funny because last time we were in there i was saying it was a shame the portions were so big and so much got wasted. They haven't reduced the price to reflect it though.:cool:

    If the weather stays nice we're going to have a BBQ this afternoon. OH wants me to go and iron 10 shirts for him :eek: his cleaner / ironing lady can't come today. He's said he'll feed us lunch so i'll go over lunch time ish. I need to sort the utility room as it's a right mess and the dining room which still has all the bathroom stuff in there. I need to organise it a bit better so it's not everywhere. I also need to do some washing and my own ironing. I suppose i'd better get a move on.:cool:

    question ladies.

    would any of you be offended if your mid twenties neighbour wanted to know if your 11year old daughter wanted some of her old makeup? im talking things like benfit and laura mercier etc that are to good to throw away but just wont get used.

    im a bit of a make up junkie!

    eta, i suppose i should say i only really know them to say hi to, but dont know anyone down here and just remeber when i was that age i loved playing about with makeup.
    I would have said go for it, but actually Piggers has put me off that idea completely:o
    But having said that, I used to share Mum's and my friends make up, and none of us ever had a problem:cool:

    embb hope your cough goes away
    AnW'sMum is the same - barking away - coughing that is not barking mad - well maybe she is but thats another story (*ducks* as something hard comes flying towards me!!!)
    sock_knitter I need to declutter wool into baby stuff too - hope your son enjoys his trip to Butlins
    macpep well done getting the 'van all cleaned up - you are all ready to go now!!!
    seafarers-wife I am sure at 11 your daughter has lovely skin and you wouldnt want anybody's germs to spoil that? its different sharing yours.
