    my 1st 3 samples of the garnier BB cream arrived,I ordered them through FB and Boots so hopefully will get some more,they sent me light which is a bit pale ,got some on at the mo so will let you know how I get on with it.
    just watching location location whilst having a coffee and sewing up a hem on trousers that came down with the 1st wear:(....can't believe the people on there,they are so demanding:eek:one young couple had £600K to spend on a 1st house(33 years down the line we still could not afford half that!) they "needed" 5 bedrooms despite having no kids!!!!and the other couple just annoyed me so much I nearly threw my coffee at them:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:they had to live in Broadstairs no where else would do and wanted enormous rooms,we have a 3/4(last one is DHs office) house which we have lived in for 22 years and brought up 3 boys in,the ceilings in some rooms are only about 6 foot 3 high and room size 11 foot square so would be looked down on by the location people but I love it and think I am lucky to have it.no wonder young people expect so much when programmes like this are on.
    sorry enough rambling for today:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    :rotfl:And why not. My brother-in-law, who is in his late 50's was asked by his ex-wife (he was obviously doing something she thought unsuitable) when he was going to grow up. He replied "never if I can help it", a good philosophy I think. :D

    I refuse to grow up, as does DH. :D He's only 22 and people always assume that he's not mature just because we have fun together.

    He's very mature though. He just knows the right time to have fun and the right time to be more conservative.

    Its good to have fun and be silly. Sounds like your very well suited to each other. Me and my DH try to have fun as much as possible and do silly things. Mind you the 2 dogs have a habit of causing great amusement.

    I'm afraid i've managed to spend some money already despite being at work. I have bought the Estee Lauder BB cream SPF 35 sample - really wanted to try this especially as its a high spf as my face is prone to burning. Plus I really need something else for my skin, I need something light for during the day and a nice foundation for going out etc, but still have loads of existing stuff to UU.
  • Hurrah! A UU! John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum WIBA? I've got another one in the stash (which is now out being used) but after that I'll almost certainly go on to Avon Lotus Shield which I love. Frizz Ease is OK, I just don't feel it's as effective as it used to be.

    ps - another fan here of not worrying about growing up. My Mum (67) always wonders when she'll decide what she wants to do when she grows up, but figures it's not worth worrying about as there's no sign of it happening!
