    [STRIKE]Check banks

    Find my Christmas present-I want a new digi camera, and OH won't tell me what he wants til I give him a list of possible cameras-although all I'll do is pick the prettiest!

    Well, it's a late reply from me, but I have finally FINALLY put things on eBay for the first time ever :j

    Few pairs of shoes and boots that are all brand new, and a radio that I won and will never use. Hopefully things will sell, could really be doing with the cash! (can't we all lol!!)

    xx
    Can't think of anything smart to put here...

    ladies I have just threaded my own eyebrows after watching this tutorial

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVmbHB2p4WM

    I am really impressed with the results I would definately watch it and give it a go x

    How long did it take you & did you accidentally remove more than you wanted? I would love to try this but I'm scared I'll end up taking half my eyebrow off! :eek:

    I have a Canon G9, they're on the G12 now I think but it still holds up pretty well imo :) They're quite pricey though! But if your OH is willing to splash the cash they're worth it.

    What's so bad about the pictures from your Samsung?

    Ok it took me 1/2 hr & I kept stopping to look at the video. The hardest bit was working out how to hold the thread while doing it.

    I started off with the stray hairs under the brow (I'm really lazy & rarely pluck them :o I think the last time I had them done was waxed while we were in Devon in June :o) I actually find plucking really painful and this was a lot less as you do several hairs at once.

    I took my time & did it a little but at a time so I didn't take too much off. Honestly its the best my eyebrows have looked for ages. They never match when I pluck them (I usually give up on the left one as its painful)
