    Hi guys, as one of my things is to look after my main asset (me) I have the feeling I should know what this is. Please someone get me out of my misery and let me know - what does it do?

    Haven't tried it but lots of people rave about it being an extremely good concealer.

    Hypno I know you write that you all really did keep alot of junk and as if you are hoarders (past tense of course!) but I was thinking in all the time you have actually been in that house you have been consumed with the debt and the horror of sleepless nights while both you and XOH were holding down goodness knows how many jobs etc etc etc so I wonder if you are 'natural' hoarders or if you actually had absolutely no room to deal with ANYTHING else other than the all consuming debt so thats how things got so bad, I mean when something so massive is being dealt with (ie debt) then everything else around has a tendency to drift and gather...so in the new house with the debt free status, the memory of this last clear out, plans for an actual 'life' you will be a clutter free zone naturally without much effort rather than actually having to 'change' the way you are?

    yes, yes, yes, yes YES!!!!!

    The body shop have something similar that works well and although not cheap at 12ish still cheaper than the above so a tad MSE. I have used one for the last 2-3 years.

    PS no idea how this came up as way behind Sorry:o

    another good touche eclat alternative (and this is from a life long devotee, having two at all times- one at home, one in handbag) is the garnier roll on. I actually prefer it at the moment, seems to last longer on me.

    It does certainly sound about right to me - just not having the energy to deal with anything, then feeling down about it which in turn leads to even less energy to deal with it!

    So, new start, new energy :D

    Hear hear! Debt drags you down, clutter piles up, clutter itself according to the laws of feng shui drains life force, you feel dragged down and can't deal with anything...vicious circle.

    Now you are on the verge of debt freedom, Hypno, (apart from the mortgage, but that's another story) what lessons have you learnt over the past four years that you can pass on to other debt free hopefuls?
