Well I am not taking them out on a horse and cart to sell makeral

I don't feel insecure. I know exactly who and what I am.

What I am isn't wonderful but hey it raised the brat and she is pretty special.

I want better LIR. I wanted better for the brat and I want so much better for my girls.

We are the lowest of the low. I know that. God knows I have no illusions.

My girls are tinkers born and bred and the worst kind of tinkers. A slapper for a mother and dragged through the care system.

Well they call it care

The brat is at the best uni in the country now. She is a nice girl.

She doesnt define herself by anything other than me

I want the same for my girls

Never to feel less

Stuff helps LIR. Lets be honest. When you are a child, she who has the most stuff wins.

I want my girls to win

If you want them to win they have to fight their own fights.

But you write like you would so I have no doubts they'll be fine, with or without the best and the latest.

hm...doesn't febreze only work on fabric? I might try a tiny patch of bicarb and vinegar....:eek: scary: its my nicest fake tat I think.

Bicard and vinegar is EVIL. Don't try it or I'll never be forgiven when it completely disintegrates.

Febrese works on students, worth a try on your tat.

You need more than that. You need to stand out and specialise in something, otherwise you're just one in thousands, like bridal jewellery (probably like stealing candy from a baby, it's your special day, you can splash out on this etc), bespoke dinner party (show Lady wotshername that you've got taste and class), or yummy mummy trendy (yah, it was from this recycled, fair trade, employing young pregnant teenage girls giving them a chance in life, cute little place, I just stumbled on).

Or else you're just one of the thousands on ebay, etsy, folksy.

The website I posted earlier had tiara making kits for about £30. I paid £230 for a handmade one 19 years ago:o.

An old ''upper middle class'' school gate quip: you can tell the new money...the uniforms aren't darned, the girls have french plaits and the mothers have makeup on in the morning.

Who on earth would dream of leaving the house without it? :eek:

Forgive me, I am going to completely insult you all now. And it is deliberate.

It is a dreadful, horrible thing to be a gypsy. We can pretend it isn't but thats a lie.

We really are the lowest of the low and while it isn't politically correct to have a go at other minorites we are fair game

I have fantasies about being born muslim

Honestly, for me it is fine. My Da was a really clever man and so far we have did ok. But the world changes.

It was harder for the brat as I tried to move away from the whole pi key thing

Ten years later it is even harder for my girls

Gypos

They dont know how to behave although they are learning fast

We are gypos

My girls are princessess. I will happily murder anyone who doesnt fall down before them

I want them to objects of envy, not pity

Wow now I am verbalising stuff I spent months pretending I didnt feel

@PN,

Round my way, the "must have" piece of jewellery is a charm bracelet. And then you need to add new charms, at regular intervals. Very clever are charm bracelets. You buy the bracelets and then find you buy the charms, but the charms are designed to only fit (or at least only look right) with that brand of bracelet, so back again and again to the same brand to purchase more. and more. and more again.

So the chain costs £20-80 and then each charm is £25+. Then they bring out special edition charms to collect and so it goes on. What was a reasonable price bracelet, once fully charmed becomes a fortune.

I like this website for jewellery making:

http://www.jewellerymaker.com

It has some tutorials on too. I don't know what their prices are like, but I like that they do silver and semi-precious stones.

That looks interesting. I shall have a proper look when there's a bit more time. Have you made some of the stuff?

Malcolm.

We all want better for the next generation. Your eldest has done well ws, repeating the process is a good plan.

Just don't spoil them too much, contrary to popular opinion, you can have too much stuff.

My garage is proof of that.

I almost never wear makeup. I might put a touch on for interviews or spessh occasions but it's not standard.
