    Oh dear, the trolls are getting bored again, Free world, I will spend my hard earned cash on nailpolish, gin & t, books or whatever I wish!

    I'm off to town in a bit to waste a bit more money ;)

    oh wait, I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't gamble, I don't claim benefits. I think I'll spend my money on WHAT THE HELL I WANT TO thanks :)

    As for using my talents, I actually have a degree in Graphic Design so yes, I used them ;)

    Now, back to lovely nails please ladies!

    Deary me... Tkmax had nails inc packs of three for £12.99! So I got two packs... Once I work out how to post photos I will add some as I also got all the Barry m chameleon colours plus two retro freebies (1 free retro colour when you spend £6). I got the silver as gold Barry m's and the no7 glitter polish. Then in pound world they had w7 (?) crackles so I got two. This brand was £5 for two in tkmax!

    I've now got literally hundreds of polishes and a boyfriend who declared them all pointless:( but my hands are seen first when I shake hands at work. So surely they must look nice?

    Oh and yes £40 on varnish is probably a waste... But I don't drink, smoke or gamble and I don't have a bike habit like my boyfriend -£3k for a bike and he whines at my little polishes!
    If you aim for the moon if you miss at least you will land among the stars!

    Hello ladies, how is everyone? My nail varnish is holding up, I've used a little glue to seal the ends of the tape.


    To the lurkers that may not understand the happiness of nail varnish, let me explain (hope none of the regular posters mind):

    This is my second time being made redundant, nail varnish for me is a way of having happy little pictures/art/patterns or just a lovely bright colour to cheer me up when I most need that lift. I paint other people's nails (and no I do not charge for it) to cheer them up, this ranges from my SIL who hasn't been too well and is waiting on an op (I also presented her with a canvas with a pic of her dog recently thanks to a little help from this site), I also volunteer for a cancer charity and paint various ladies nails and chat to them, the bright colours make them smile, we laugh and they share stories...... all stuff to keep their minds on positive things..........so to all negative lurkers that little bottle of nail varnish can mean a little bit of sunshine to a lot of people and make them smile when everything else might seem a little bleak..........so don't knock it when you've seen the benefits on people that need the biggest lift.
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J
