    I have a renewed focus on saving pennies as we have seen a house that we LOVE and it's slightly over budget! :o I wonder how low they would go if we made an offer... :)

    Probably VERY the way things are at the moment Tara !!

    When does the 75% sale start?? Ive just looked at the website, and cant see it?? (not that ive got any money to buy even if theres loads of stuff for me!!)

    Rosemary - agreee with the others - if you can get back in your room, properly girlify it - remember the rose candle... xxx
    Lyndsaydee - Im so pleased - fingers crossed that it works out for you xxx

    welcome newbies !!

    Forgive me sisters for I have sinned. In a BIG way :eek::eek::eek: Lucky I'm an atheist :rotfl:

    Today I have bought:

    Samples from Ebay of Euphoria and Vera Wang Princess:o
    3 lots of FCUK stuff complete with the very good GWP (x3) from Boots:o:o
    Some Soap & Glory bits from Boots:o:o:o
    Body Shop Cucumber Cleanser and Carrot Moisture Cream:o:o:o:o
    Avon Foot and Elbow Cream, Eyeliner :o:o:o:o:o and a new comb (do actually need this)

    And now I'm thinking I should grab some Clean Mary while its still available then I can put the BS one in the stash never to be seen again probably.

    I had my Depo jab today so maybe I'm temporarily hormonally imbalanced :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I'm quite excited about getting it all tho :o:D:p


    ETA: The reason I went on Boots site was to get some shampoo for red hair as they don't stock it in our tiny store, and in all the excitement I forgot to order it, which means I have to go back there again. Oh dear :eek:

    Forgot to say earlier, I cleaned the bathroom today and flung out a lip gloss. I flung another one out the other day too. I've decided that I hate lipgloss. I always get my hair stuck in it and I bite it off with my teeth. If I want shiny sheer colour I just put lippy on over the top of lipbalm and put vaseline over the top for a nice sheen.
    DH back at work tomorrow after nearly 4 weeks off so I might get my stash downstairs and list it all. Much as I love him, it's a PITA him being at home because he disrupts my routine. Also, at 6ft 3, he gets in the way. I actually left him in bed until 12 the other day so that I could get on with housework without falling over his feet. I just shut the door so he didn't hear the radio/ hoover/ me clumping up and down the stairs etc :D!
    Off to bed now as am really snuffly and sneezy following my housework session today. I hate dust, it makes me bleurgh!

    Yes I am fine, have spoken to hubby and we have agreed to go to councilling (sp). Hopefully we can sort this out.

    That's excellent news - it won't be easy but your marriage deserves this chance. I really hope you are able to resolve the issues and your relationship becomes the stronger for it.
  • Bearing the 'rose candle' story in mind, I wore my best scarf that I had for Xmas to work today :D.
