You both have to be on the same page where kids are concerned.

Oh totally, it's HUGE issue. I'd still love it if he could call round here and bring me a Valentines card and/or flowers It's best that he doesn't though. He needs to find himself someone who does want to have babies.

Actor: Not heard from him since

Painter has been back working for my mother. She still loves him but thankfully I've not met him.

Ebay: Maybe not so bad. First 4 items sold = €36.45 into my bank account, then minus €14 for postage so profit = €22.45. Not too bad I suppose but there will be ebay fees as well.

Have just sold a dress for £37. Now a few more like this and we'd have progress

Had a rather nice day today. Went sofa shopping with my mother, for her obviously, not me, I can't afford such purchases. She bought me lunch which was lovely. I dressed up a bit as well. Wore a navy tea-dress with a small red ladybird print, navy tights, my brown fur-lined doc boots from Christmas and a short navy cotton cardigan from GAP.

Was just emailing the good looking musician from last year that I really liked. He too is suffering from depression, it's like an epidemic these days.

The other dress is at £4 with 6 minutes left.

Don't be too disheartened Mags, it all adds up. Most of the things I've been selling recently just go for £4 or £5. Make sure you are adding the correct postage on top otherwise it just doesn't pay. I've made about £60 this year so far (and just sold a pair of Kenneth Cole shoes) all for stuff that I would have given to charity or slung out

Mags what brand of nail varnish do you recommend? I've just got back into painting my nails (after 25 years ) and I have had a different colour on every day this week and it is only Wednesday.. They keep chipping though so what brands are good. Also I prefer one coat ones if possible but that's probably the reason they chip so easily...

Ta!

:T I think Sally Hansen is quite good and OPI is my favourite of the expensive brands. I hate Nails Inc, it seems to require too many coats. The Rimmel 60 second is really handy but doesn't last at all. Models Own in really popular with beauty bloggers too.

Try using a base coat and top coat. Not as awkward as it sounds. I'll sometimes file my nails and put on a No7 basecoat which dries really quickly and then just leave it and do the colour a few hours later.

It's only recently I've been using top coat. It's great for shine but don't use it until the colour is completely dry or you'll mess up the colour underneath. Do the top coat the next day even. The key is to make sure each coat is dry before you apply the next one.

The £5 No7 vouchers are back at Boots. You could use those for base coat/top coat or the No7 nail polish even. It's fine but wouldn't dream of paying full price for it.

Have just flicked over to Channel4 for "One Born Every Minute", have never watched it before, waiting for the close-up graphic bits :rotfl:

Thanks for the tips (if you pardon the pun ). I think I've got some top coat somewhere.....
