  • Good luck Lady M, fingers crossed!

    I unpacked the bathroom boxes yesterday, my stash is very depleted through BF has been hoarding shower gel and deodrant. I have loads of soap still and thats about it really. Will keep trying to use everything up through and looks like ive his to help out with too now. Luckily its my bday on Halloween and Ive asked for Lush things to replenish the stash:)
    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

    McCulloch - I did this virtual doggie walk thing yesterday :)

    No more INs yet...and no more UUs. I do, on the other off topic hand, have a job interview at a rather good company tomorrow for a good job! wish me luck! I'm feeling nervous but also a bit confident too! I guess that's a good happy medium to be?! we'll see what happens! would be nice to get it!

    Good luck for tomorrow ALJA.

    I have a day off tomorrow and so I am planning for a lovely pamper session. I might even finish off my foaming bath product that has been lurking in my stash for about 3 years.

    That dress is GORGEOUS !!!!!

    Thankyou everyone for your ideas, think i need to start thinking earlier next year - Ive completely lost my mojo for it. I bought some things in tesco Saturday and stuck them on her and on her fly rug - that was the best I could come up with at such short notice - I know its just for fun, but im a bit !!!!ed off that the girl who won it last year has just entered the same photo of her horse - is it me or is that a bit off?? I could just enter last years - but it seemed like such a cop out of effort that I didnt like to !!

    for those of you who missed her cheery smile last year...

    and this year she looks like this...

    its not great, but it will have to do. I had WAY more success teaching her to apple bob.... ;)

    (oh - and interestingly, she found it much worse me plaiting her up for those posher photos than she did having a spider sellotaped to her forehead - go figure!!)

    Hi Ladies,

    I hope everybody's well :)

    Lady M I've got my fingers crossed for you :)

    Trudij Red looks beautiful, and I'm no good with fancy dress I'm afraid :o

    UU
    Lush The Comforter bubble bar - WIBA? Yes as it's my HG bubble bar. Onto an Amondopondo bubble bar now (used half already).

    IN
    L'Occitane Desert Rose Hand cream - with MC of course. I didn't need a hand cream and I don't usually buy the magazine :o But this is an excellent price for it.

    Ladies, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've been invited to a uni friend's 30th birthday meal. Now, this guy was one of my best friends at uni, but we grew apart afterwards. I'm happy to go, but just not sure. The meal may be at the Roof Gardens, and most guests will probably carry on to a club after. I don't go to clubs, and if I'm honest, looking at the prices of the restaurant, it's a lot steeper than I would usually choose. Also, I wouldn't know what to wear, as I tend to live in jeans, and dress them up. I don't own/wear dresses. My other friend probably isn't going, so it would be maybe one or two friends I know well, and the rest would be strangers. That's definitely out of my usual comfort zone. I am trying to get out more to try to lessen my time at home remembering a certain somebody. So basically, what should I do? I'd really appreciate any kind of advice ladies :o


    well I would go for it,you liked the guy at uni and know 2 others who are going and the strangers could be friends you have not met yet!It is good to splash out on a nice meal and new outfit if you can afford it and if you are not enjoying yourself you could always develop a headache and not go to the club!!!!
