    Omg too much to catch up on.

    Btw i used my John Frieda last night and i LOVE it, it's so easy to use once you get the hang of the foam and i love the colour. I chose by the pic online and when it came i was scared thinking it was far too light, the colour on the box is totally wrong because it's come up quite dark but i love it.

    I will have to try and catch up later :p

    R.mac if you have a local Costco apparently they're sometimes sold cheap in there. I did find a plain pink one on Amazon though but it's not the toddler one with the inflatable sides.

    Edit: some on ebay cheaper :money:

    Can anyone suggest a perfume?
    My little sister (22) has requested perfume for Christmas, but she fancies trying something new. She's not bothered about it being an expensive name. She likes floral, but not overpowering.

    J'Adore by Dior. I absolutely love that, and my Mam always says I smell nice when I wear it :D

    Even though OH and i are still not talking, he still manages to infuriate me. His weirdo OCD ness is now doing my head in. He keeps telling Alex off, for taking toys out of his toy box to play with.

    *hugs*

    My ex was like that and he did my head in! He also thought children should be perfectly silent at all times. They'd make a noise and he'd smack them for being noisy, then they'd cry and get smacked again for crying loudly :(

    Whats everyone doing for Halloween?

    It's quite fun in our village. People who want to join in put pumpkins and stuff in the windows and it's mainly little ones dressed up that come round. Everyone just gets bags of lollies, mini Haribo bags, chews, that kind of thing, and dishes them out.
    Thank you folks. I took Rmac's advice (and very wise advice it was) and spelled it out to him and he swears there is nothing going on, but agrees that if he was in my shoes he would have felt very angry and upset too.

    *hugs* hope things are ok with you GISI xx

    Still have this nasty sick headache, I actually had to sleep during the afternoon I was so sickly-feeling :(

    I get headaches like that. I bought some painkillers called Paramol on a mystery shop. Never heard of them before, but they are really powerful. Worth a try if you can get them where you are.

    Had a lovely day out. It's been warm and sunny all day but a bit windy. Looked round the Priory and museum, then had a picnic. Then we walked out to the castle and looked at that, and then just wandered about for a but. Lindisfarne is a lovely peaceful place. Here's my lot sitting on some rocks. More pics on FB.

    Ahhh Becles, what a lovely picture!

    I took a Solpadeine and a multivitamin and am feeling much better.

    If people are looking at ASOS for gift ideas, I bought two Cath Kidston bracelets £2 each, a Cath Kidston mirror (to make up the cost of my third order, it was £1.50) and a Pumpkin Patch dress for Miss M £10 but free :money:. There were some really nice Cath K purses too, although the bag I covet is far too expensive at £18 for a tiny thing.

    Dn't know then r.mac. If you're not a WTP hater that was the best of the ones I looked at.

    My hair was dead light, like bimbo blonde to start with and i wanted to go slightly darker, the pic looked even lighter than my hair but it's gone darker just how i wanted it. It would lighten hair i think, every other dye i've used lightens it so this one must be no different if you get the right colour. I don't know about browns though i've never had brown hair i'd look daft :p

    edit: think it darkened mine cos i chose ash blonde colour, it had gone a bit yellowy from the last dye so i prob just notice the difference more. It's now more like my natural colour.

    Mel - me too. I couldn't think of present ideas either :rotfl:

    How are you - feeling any better? x

    No, I couldn't even think of present ideas....Everything I want to buy is so expensive:( I want a jumperoo, two buggy snuggles, liposuction, a boob job......:rotfl:

    I'm ok thank you, would be better if af would visit:cool: but i'm at the docs this week so will speak with her....I am still a crazy person though, and am boring myself with it now:rotfl: Thank you for asking....



    Becles that picture is fab, you kids are all lovely..... add a panasonic lumix to my list of wants:(

    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    ss - currently debating and decided that DH can choose :rotfl: thanks. Not a WTP either I'm afraid.

    ETA - mel. :wave: sounds like good plan. Did you see an earlier posting about discount on a jumperoo? Also keep an eye on ebay - my sister got one for a good price that was local to her.

  • Katie has some very suspicious looking spots, I can't decide if they're chickenpox or not, which she had last year, Chickenpox are doing the rounds at playgroup though.

    If it is, eye test, a birthday party (her first invite from Playgroup) and the Light Party are a no go for her :(

    Hugs Mel.

    Rmac - good idea, I wish DH would make the decisions sometimes.

    Beccles - gorgeous picture.
