    did PYNM ....toes seem okay but too far from eyes to notice any faults:rotfl:went to bad and read for a bit as DH had gone to the spare room after me complaining that his snoring kept me awake the night before(he caught a cold on the plane home:()and noticed little bubbles in the varnish(don't you just hate that?) so took all 4 coats off:( and redid with a base and 1 top coat but still looks a bit grot as managed to get it on my fingers and smudged a nail:( oh well it was never meant to last as lots of gardening to do if weather improves so would soon rub off:rotfl:

    hairline now showing grey:(:(:(:( but will have to wait till thursday night to colour...may use the foam coupon,I liked the John Frieda but now back up to £10 in tesco:(
    remembered to use body butter this morning but forgot the fake tan for face.

    now caught up with gossip need to do part two of ironing:(
  • I've decided that once I move toothpaste won't count as both the OH and I will be using that so it isn't just 'my' stash. Everything else will though, I can't see him borrowing any of my stuff because it all smells too 'girly' (well apart from maybe the Tramp but I would go mad if he used that as it's a discon and I love it!).

    on a lesser level - I have a dilemma ladies - I have a lad chasing me who is very keen.... Ive usually been out with younger men, and find them way more fun and less baggaged than older men or men my own age.... but at 37, should I really be seeing someone who is 25??? Its not like hes a teenager or anything - and he doesnt care at all..... (hes lovely, and looks after one of the horses running at Cheltenham tomorrow - so eeeek and keep everything crossed for him !!)

    Fingers crossed! What's the name of the horse?

    And I agree with everyone else and say go for a drink or a coffee with him - nothing fancy, just casual. The worst that can happen is you decide you're just not into him that way and leave it there, but you won't know if you don't try.

    Good morning,

    A UU yesterday morning Benefit Hello Flawless - WIBA? Yes and already had one ready! I do love this, and it's so easy to use on the move.

    I tried to have a few UUs last night but no such luck. I have spluttering Lush Ceridwen's Caludron. I didn't know it could splutter either. I try to stretch out Lush bath stuff, but due to a guilty conscience last night I wanted a UU, so actually put it in the bath as per instructions, and scrubbed with it. For ages. And there was still stuff left in it :(

    So predicting and hoping for the folowing UUs within the next week:
    Lush Ceridwen's Cauldron
    EL Advanced Night Repair
    EL Daywear Plus

    sarah*a I loved your hobo story:rotfl:It was hilarious!!

    thevicster It would be a crime not to try it at that price!! I can tell you now though that there's no day moisturisers left at the Bluewater branch :rotfl:

    lol - Red's spin would cost me £2500 if I was paying for that - luckily its just her board and the vets fees that Im having to pay for this year, though thats still somewhere around the £1000 mark now!!

    his horse has the initials FR - but Im not keen to say who it is out loud in case I jinx things - but I'll be back on wiht a very smiley face if he gets placed later on - Mikes really nervous,its the best horse hes ever looked after,and its one of the things every national hunt lad wants - winners at Cheltenham and Aintree....


    edited to add - AND - I text you know who earlier to wish his horse luck, got a nice reply (ending with a kiss) and only felt a tiny bit sad - yay me !!!!

    Well my lloyds delivery just turned up, was a suprise as it still doesnt say its been dispatched...was SOOOO lucky as its only a few mins before OH gets home for lunch haha, quickly hidden the two boxes in the cupboard under the stairs....in my haste to quickly check everything I ended up putting a huge cut up my arm from something so now Im going to have to make something up about how I got that :p

    Didnt really have time to check through everything so will do it after he goes back to work....think I might be sending a few bits and bobs back...I mean what am I really going to do with 4 make-up pallets? or 3 top gear games? and 3 mens wallets! Some things I will give as gifts but some of the stuff isnt that nice, I mean those wallets are pretty naff so i might send all 3 back...

    Not sure if OH is going to be too impressed with my 6 cans of Lynx for him either....but at £5 for 6 cans thats a bargain :p
