    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!

    Piq

    Yes, I truly believe that your free samples have definately done the trick and your eye crinkles have vanished ! I cant see them from here even with my glasses on !!!

    Hmmm your drink samples remind of myself and Mr Pinot many moons ago rolling out of the Ideal Home Show rather worse for wear on the free wine samples.......oh the following year it was with my sister, only she nearly signed up to purchasing a £10,000 Breeze Hut for her back garden she was so fuzzled !

    I think we would have the most wonderful fun on a Freebie Gathering Day Out....lets pencil that in our diaries for sometime soon ! :rotfl:

    Oooh....just catching up and I think I arrived at the right time...a Freebie Gathering Day Out...with prizes for the most outrageous blag (guess who'd probably be a contender for that prize...;)).. I think its a goer!!

    Just to echo others..on some diaries (particularly of real MSE stalwarts) I have felt reluctant to add anything as I didn't know anyone..that what could I add anyway... and that old chestnut,,would it be read in the way I meant...I think that's more usual than not. But please, everyone should post..its what the site is about and its so much better when there are loads of people chipping in!

    Am wondering about the AL9I. I tried some B*dy Shop stuff,,one product seems OK..the rest a waste of money. My latest plan is to make some stuff where I can....but haven't got around to even properly planning that yet:rotfl:Just a twinkle in the eye!!

    Phew! Made it to the end. Still giggling over the gate climbing in pjs incident, as well as MR PG doing the same thing.

    If you don't mind I'll pop in and out. Really impressed with the credit card payment you've got back.

    I think I know who's won already Mrs B !,,;) feel free to join us on our freebie gathering day trip as well! The more the merrier !

    Totally agree with your reluctance to add things and I have sometimes felt the same , that's one the reasons I mentioned it after receiving the PM . It's always lovely to hear from everybody .

    I have smothered more wrinkly crinkly cream over my face this evening and will continue posting the results, even if many may be wishful thinking ! So what are you planning on making Mrs B , or is it still Top Secret ?

    OMG you read it all! How long did that take , I'm surprised you didn't give up after page 1 ! But welcome and I'm so glad you stuck around until the end , it's really lovely to see you !

    You are welcome to dip in and out whenever the mood takes you, and thankyou. I am really pleased if what a tad impatient on our progress so far , we will get there in the end :D

    Hope to see you again soon x

    I'm taking you with me next time Piq or I need to come up with a fetching disguise instead !

    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 !

    Deeper and Saggier, sounds like me all over at the moment....and i mean All over :rotfl:

    I do drink water but then I think my vino intake at the weekend outdoes all the good work (not every weekend I might add);)

    As for snake serum, moisturiser etc mmmm have to admit I am not the best on that front.

    I know every time I go to stay at my parents my DSM always says "Ladies should not leave the bedroom without their make -up on"

    That's probably why she looks so disappointed when I come down the stairs in the morning :rotfl:

    Anyway late running tonight so will catch up with everyone tomorrow
