    Ok, its like this !! Seen as I have overnight turned into a complete Domestic Goddess thanks to Mrs Fluffy and her lovely recipe, I will bake more cakes and distribute them equally and post some Air Mail for Mrs F.
    I would hate for anyone to feel left out !!

    DD2 and I have bought some limes and decided to try Lime Drizzle Cake next, or is that maybe taking it a bit too far on the zesty front ?!!:D

    Just read your post and it made me laugh. There isn't to much which makes me smile or laugh.

    I haven't read all your other posts yet today but I hope you're doing well and not over working again.

    Mr B, I am so glad we made you smile and so sorry that it doesnt happen too often these days. It makes me unhappy to think that anyone is feeling sad. :(

    So........... we need lots of upbeat, happy happy posts starting NOW !!

    I woke up this morning looking younger ...... 40 something years younger infact.........thanks to snake Venom !!

    Now that I am, as you are all aware , a complete A£di Convert and am loving their smelly soaps etc, having peered a little too hard in the mirror recently and with yet another birthday approaching at a rate of knots............something needed to be done and quickly !!

    Once upon a dream, Estee Lauders Advanced Night Repair was a Dressing Table staple , always combined with cheapo moisturiser etc, I could never warrant the cost of anything fancy even pre LBM ! I was lucky enough to recieve the Estee LAuder half price from a friend who worked for them, but she no longer does and the supplies have dwindled. As posted on Piqs diary, I have taken to lurking around the Yves St Laurent Counters in various establishments requesting samples of their new Super Expensive Award Winning Serum. I even sent DD1 the other day to ask for some incase they were starting to recognise me !!

    I can see it now, posters of face plastered up all around the Stores "WANTED......... MRS PG" Serial Yves St Laurent Stalker and Gatherer of all Free Samples in the Vicinity !! DO NOT SERVE this woman , your Sample Drawers could be at risk ! "

    Anyway I'm bored with that game now, its so time consuming, so yesterday I became the proud owner of Aldi £acura Wrink£e Stop !! At the grand cost of just under £6, which will be combined with their moisturiser at £1.99 !! I couldnt wait to get it home and try it out, infact I was so excited, I actually used it three times in the hope of speeding up the effects by my birthday and Mr Pinots return on Sunday !!

    This morning, I rushed to the mirror and swear ( its not just wishful thinking I promise;) ) I do look younger and the lines are vanishing already !!! It also smells lovely apparently according to the girls who got a faceful when I kissed them goodnight at bedtime !

    So ............... get yourselves in the queue and we will be the youngest looking bunch of MSE ers in the land !! Oh and even better, it is selling for £22.99 on Amazon, so I could justify the £6 cost even more !!

    On that note I'm off to make Dinner now xxx

    I really really promise to catch up on everyones diaries soon !! xx Sorry x

    Mrs PG, another tip for younger looking skin....make sure you get your full 8 glasses of water a day, anything that doesn't dehydrate you is good for your skin :) Water makes it more elastic so less likely to go wrinkle kinkle :)

    ...but I've got a box full of free samples, it'll keep me going for ages! But I don't loiter at just one counter I blag my way around the whole beauty department, it'll take them longer to recognise me - I hope!

    I drink plenty of water Kerri, really I do, it doesn't seem to have de-crinkled me much though. I think I need a little more help to stay young and beautiful!

    My crinkles are becoming more noticeable by the day, its those ones by my mouth , they are looking deeper and slightly saggier ,that I really dislike !

    I don't like my crinkles round my eyes and they're not laughter lines either! I have to wear glasses for reading and close work and I've noticed that without my glasses I can't see the crinkles, does this mean they've gone?

    Happy to take you on a free samples day out, it would be the most wonderful fun. As you know I took it to the next level last weekend with the free samples of drink. This is definitely the second stage, the sales assistants are not going to pass over the beauty samples to an alcohol fumes breathing drunk!
