    had a massage at a beauty salon once and it was rubbish so not bothered again!

    Out of interest Red, what was "rubbish" about it? I'm asking because I am a qualified massage therapist and it's always interesting to hear other people's opinions.

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    That was very generous of you ;) Are you getting any nice treatments? We get a facial (my face has kindly come out in spots especially) and a back massage.. I've not really done this sort of thing before, had a massage at a beauty salon once and it was rubbish so not bothered again!

    I still have to pay for me but I thought, sod it. OH went to Download, I deserve a treat too!
    We're having a facial, hot/cold stone massage, scalp massage and manicure. Plus lunch is included and we can use pool/gym all day.

    I've had some good, some bad with massages, I think if it's not good you should tell them at the time so they can do it better. Otherwise some don't bother.

    I got home from DIY SOS at Mike's House 'Please advise - it's all gone horribly wrong' at 3am due to issues with the trains. I have the Race for Life tonight 7.30pm so thought I could sleep till about 11am today. My friend rang me up at 8am to make arrangements - feel tired:(

    Nice gentle quiet day today I think.

    How did it go Butti?

    Gemzie what makes me so mad is that she is so trusting and will do anything to help anyone, if the person had asked to borrow the money, she most probably would have lent it :(

    It was amazing.
    The sun shone for the duration so we could construct furniture on the green outside his house. Yesterday we could get in and start constructing beds inside and cleaning.
    The team are lovely particularly Julia and Billy.
    The house looked amazing - really amazing.
    The story is also incredible - Mike has been SO lucky in getting DIY SOS to do it and with his timing, as they wanted to do a whole house.
    There will be pictures but I think direct to people rather than here. I am allowed to put the external ones up on facebook.
