    I use an old mascara wand cleaned, naturellement...much better than the plastic thingy.

    I use a tiny brush with clients but it's really hard on myself. Will definitely try your method next time!

    Eyes done....now to see what I can get done before 245, then it's shops and school xx

    I know!!!! I went quietly, he didn't need handcuffs :cool:, and he definitely did not show me his truncheon! :D He was a very nice man, in a lovely uniform :D:D:D

    I didn't think it was a good idea to keep insurance docs in the car, in case of theft....ID and all that?
    Good point, which I shall mention to Mr LW; however, I just checked on the original, and our address isn't on there, just his name, the car reg no and "insured and spouse" iyswim.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hi all, thank you for the lovely supportive posts yesterday. I'm definitely not cut out to be superwoman. Dh back tomorrow, thank GOD!

    Hi Pen Pen, I'm new, and joined when you were having a hiatus, welcome back :beer:
    Managed to catch up (almost). Haven't started today's list yet, and a few bits still to do on yesterday's (yikes!), but however, I'm still plugging away.

    Dd is just adorable, funny and lovely, and we all, (including her younger brother, just worship her), but man does she like being the queen bee. We all dance to her tune LOL! "You do it, I can't cos I've Down's" is her favourite thing to say. She's a chancer!

    Okay, off on the school run now. I took today off to try and catch up on the homefront. The floors are all mopped right now and I've been stranded on a couch for the last 15 minutes, waiting for them to dry. Think they're safe to walk on:)

    Off I go, bbl. Happy flying peeps :)

    You fight and you forgive
