    Well this should be interesting - boss now wants a meeting to go over a strategy for my "thingy" (it is a mystery to me)
    Blinking cold here and I need to get my butt back to the gym but I am not sure the heat on a boat thing is conducive to gym activities.
    Right back to reality - where the finance fairy hasn't been to my bank account as yet to sprinkle fairy dust on the debts

    DDDSXCC :rotfl:that was colin standing on the keyboard, thought I'd leave it for you in case it was an important message for you.....

    The Sanctuary oil is great, just don't use too much, it's a b*gger to get off otherwise - guess how I know :rotfl:

    Eyelash dying is easy, no panda eyes if you use an old mascara brush rather than the silly stick thing supplied - basically it becomes the same as applying mascara!

    I use BB cream, the l'oreal magic nude one, people have commented as to how well I look when wearing it.

    Thanks Piq, I have been looking at the videos of this and I noticed they were all using mascara wands so before I chuck the old one out I will retrieve this and clean it up.

    My enthusiasm to assist someone resulted in me jump starting a colleagues car. And I split the back of my skirt when I was trying to find her bonnet release catch and slipped ... Grrr

    So weekend activity will also comprise searching for right coloureds cotton to mend that, and move the buttons on a new to me shirt cuffs.

    Cold again, and dog wants to play sniff each blade of grass in the garden tonight little whatsits!

    Part of the Furniture 500 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    Bb cream is better than the oil of ulay tinted moisturiser.

    I use loreal too and it's been amazing everyday since I started wearing it and a bit of mascara and lip gloss someone has commented how well I look. And even better I seem to have lost that invisible look that ladies of a certain age gain with men ;-) !!!

    Sewsrxt for Colin, bless. Doglet has just presented me with a VERY soggy bone to hold for him.

    Ok L'Oreal looks like a good one, did a bit of reading and No7 got good reviews too. I am considering braving the cosmetics counter for some help, but don't want to spend (loads) of money .... Or be made to feel like a freak as I don't have a clue about make up, skin care, girly stuff in general!

    I haven't tried the No 7 one. Ask for samples at the counters, you should be able to get a few, admittedly not the l'oreal one but Clarins etc. Give them the spiel about having a sensitive skin and not wanting to buy it only to have to bring it back. Also that you're on your way to work so don't want to try it on your face now only to have a breakout at work.....

    This is how I have a box full of samples of moisturizers, cleansers and perfumes. I haven't bought any for about two years. I go to a large shopping centre and blag my way round ;)

    Head has come off boat for whole day!
    Mega 27 item shopping and to do list, including Christmas prepping items nearly done. Ony things outstanding are scanning documents and filing, which I do need to do, one day .....
    1.5 hours of ironing I ask you how is that sensible? Mending done too!
    I bought the L'Oreal BB cream and some facial oil, now I just have to get my head around using them regularly!
    The house is a blinking bomb site. DH decided he would sand all the woodwork and fill then sand the holes in the walls of the hall. Dust every blinking place going and then some. My life is hell. The house is filthy dusty icky and it will,now drive me mad until it is CLEAN again, which won't be until decorating is finished. Oh please let this not be long ....

    Head of boat for day 2 is this good or am I tempting fate?
    I bought the BB cream and etc stuff
    New cleansing and so on regime started, face felt a bit less dry this am. DH failed to notice eyes, eyebrows, BB cream use ...... Is this good as it is "natural " or bad as it is a waste of money?
    He has failed to complete the sanding, house now has grey ick with blackish prints all over. Dust just gets everywhere! He needs to get this sorted otherwise death may ensue.
    He has surprised me, £490 paid off debt without me! Over and above required payment. I am shocked.

    Firstly, does OH normally notice if you're wearing make up? It may not be the BB cream, it may be that he knows you're beautiful and doesn't feel the need to comment all the time.

    Well done to him for paying money off the debt, good on him!

    Tough on the dust, probably not worth killing him over, you'll have to finish it then :rotfl:

    He is ex HMForces, he doesn't notice anything short of a bomb going off. Even then is a twitch and that is it.

    Yes I will wont I, well lets be honest I would have a painting party! Job done ( and not by me)
