    You guys will know this...... (I forgot to ask earlier :o)

    This morning I bent my finger nail right back and it's ripped half way down the nail bed and half way across. How can I repair this? I can't cut it down that far (ouch!) but can't wear nail varnish to work. It'll take a few weeks to grow out enough to trim it down to that level :( and I don't want it catching all the time.

    Ouch, this happened to me once, and I went to my local Nails Inc counter and they put a special wax over the nail to seal it so that it wouldn't catch, and I could wear polish on top of. It worked well and only cost about £10.

    DH reckons he can superglue it together for me. It's my pinkie on my right hand so I would struggle to do it myself. I might chop a tea bag up to make a thin papery layer to hold the 2 sections together. If not, I'll have to go to a nail parlour. I'm not allowed to wear gel nails or anything though so need an infection control friendly solution!

  • Another UU beverly cobella intensive moisture treatment capsules. WNBA they dont seem to do much and not sure they even make them anymore. Had these for sooooo long.

    Been to our new house and put a couple of soaps into use...we're be using lots of cleaning stuff and paint by the looks of it:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Kaz - Thanks for the additional info on the heart monitor for my mum.

    And ouch that has gotta hurt. Whe that happens to me I always get a tissue and seperate the sheets and "glue" on a layer at a time over the tear, buliding up a few layers. I use clear nail pollish which I think is out for you with the infection control.

    Mum's doing well - she was back to watching the jewellery channel yesterday ;). We are just waiting on a follow up appointment now. Thanks again for all the postive messages.

    I forgot another UU from yesterday - Blanx Toothpaste. Another one has been taken from the stash.
