Ugh. Lucielle, I feel your pain.. and 'forgotten'...how? Me..I am always thinking of my next meal...take after my maternal grandmother I think
A good day today. Not a LSD one as jolted out of my investing torpor to chuck some money into the pension and ISA..yes I know I should pay off debts first but I also need to build up some funds..its a tough one to balance but I thought 'sod it' and made the transfers.
Nice dinner from the freezer...easy. Meatballs and spaghetti.
Chicken risotto tomorrow I think with the remains of the roast. It will be soothing to prepare after a long day at work.
EBay items haven't sold so have relisted. Need to chuck out some Freecycle stuff that has only been half collected
too. People are not very considerate at times?.. Nail kit working well, used DD2 as a guinea pig and all worked well Now that alone will save me hundreds a year if I can pull it off. The finish was not as nice as the salon does but practice makes perfect I am sure. If anyone likes shellac/gel (its a brand called Bl*eSky) I can recommend it.. haven't tried taking it off though which will probably be the real test.
Hope everyone has had a good start to the week..

So thrilled for you on the wedding Brizzle I knew you'd get (DH) there in the end. Keep persevering on the nails. I haven't done mine for ages but found they were surprisingly good. If only I'd found one this good 15 years ago my original debts might not have been so high :rofl: I did try but it was pretty rubbish, not like what you can get now.
Friend told me of some good colour changing nail colours on fleabay/Amazon that change when your body gets warm. Decent price too.0
