Its a good thing that growing up it optional!
And Rosemary, the only problem with the low ceilings in my flat (barely over 6'2") is that ikea wardrobes are a bit too tall lol, I could do with cheap storage =-)

LadyM - I'm glad your assessment went well, I really hope the equipment helps. Sometimes the smaller bits of equipment make the biggest difference. Wishing you health and happiness (although it sounds like you've certainly got lots of happiness with your other half!!). I'm also 25, and although I like to have fun, everyone knows me as the sensible one. I'm just too much like my mother(she's a teacher!).

Opinions please do I continue on we current open foundations which I'm not really happy with or get rid and try something else or try using these up while trying other products?

Well cheering myself up tonight with burgers for tea and a shopping trip tomorrow. Back is feeling a little better someone at work lent me some freeze spray for it. Apparently Auntie is currently stable so fingers crossed.

Not sure if this helps, but since I moved quite a bit (especially internationally which multiplied the costs ), I came up with the following checklist, which every item in my house ends up going through:

1. Will someone else appreciate/love this more than me? (Yes)

2. Does someone else *need* this more than me? (Yes)

3. Can I do without this item? (Yes)

4. If not, can I easily afford to replace this with something more appropriate? (Yes)

5. Does this item bring beauty, positivity and good feelings into my life? (No)

If it hits all of those answers...it's out.
(Those cute hotel samples, they just bring good feelings into my life, thus they've escaped my reach thus far!) :rotfl:

As a side note: It's a free ebay listing weekend starting tomorrow! :j Who's in? :beer:http://pages.ebay.co.uk/promos/0IF_120225/index.html

Wishing everyone a great start to the weekend! I have a difficult time getting enough online time during the week due to my work schedule, so happy that it's Friday.

Glad to hear your feeling better and fingers crossed for your Auntie.

LadyM I'm glad your assessment went well and they're going to kit you out with helpful things. The wheelchair car noises made me giggle :rotfl:

One UU last night, Simple Moisturising Handwash, fine, does the job, WBA. Haven't any more as not something I'd really stash so giving re-purposing some unloved shampoo a go before I fork out for any more. So far, so good, using some Herbal Essence that smells like apples but isn't great on my hair, feel really good about this as would have previously gathered dust forgotten somewhere or been chucked. Very MSE :money:

Have a lovely weekend all :j

Hi SuiDreams!

I'm so glad that your day has improved. Fingers crossed for your Auntie (very glad to hear that she is stable).

I have lots of abandoned foundation as it's such a difficult thing to get right. For me it was worth persisting with trying new ones as I don't like to go out without make-up and being pale the wrong ones look really wrong!

I would collect up as many samples as you can and gradually test them. I must admit that I've kept all of the foundations that weren't quite right in the hope that they will suit my skin sometime (! not very PRCP but I'm working on it!)

The two that have worked wonders for me are the Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation (not the serum one) and the Liz Earle skin tint.

Hate the idea of wasting stuff which is why i have kept using them, think I'll see if i can get some samples at the weekend and maybe use these between samples until i find something i want to buy. Do you know which counters are most likely to hand out samples?
