    Got my nails done yesterday - have had my acrylics taken off to try to go back to my own nails! :eek: as I've had them on pretty contstantly for 12 years! Have a gel basecoat on for strength but am hoping, over the next few months, to get my own nails into good enough condition to do myself (and save £46 per month!)

    Watched the footie yesterday afternoon, so proud of my boys - Champions again :j:j:j Then watched the cup final - enough said!

    Looked after my neice last night. We made some cupcakes, one of which I've just decluttered with a coffee :p

    Off to the shopping centre now to sort some holiday stuff - 5 days to go :j

    Well done on taking a brave leap with your nails - tough decision but I'm sure it will be worth it ... extra money for clothes & shoes ;)

    Happy Shopping :D
