    My goal for today is to paint my toenails as I can't do my fingers because of work, and to go through my cupboard of smellies to see which can be used, regifted or have to be thrown away. How have I managed to end up with so many things I'll never use? :doh:If I have time then I'll resort them as I can never seem to find what I need.
    And which you can try and make some pennies back for on Ebay!!

    Obviously depending on the size and weight (i.e. Postage Costs) of various smellies, they are often popular on Ebay, particularly the well known brands that are slightly more premium as it is still cheaper for them including P&P, and saves them money in the shops! Nothing to lose if you were going to throw them out :)

    I think all our partners, friends and family are going to start thinking we're having affairs, what with all this pampering and personal attention lol

  • Good morning Sparklers!:D

    Ive had a really busy weekend, steps per day have almost doubled over the weekend so thats 1 good thing, and diet has been good too :)

    Again i have found washing and blow drying my hair has been a god send, who'da thought something so simple would help so much. initially it takes around 15 mins to wash and blow dry it, but it always looks pretty good after that, other than when i first wake up and it needs a brush into place.

    Im trying to decide if i should grow it to shoulder length or get it cut, at the minute its in no mans land.

    I did get round to sorting out toe and finger nails, so they are now all looking in good order.

    :T:T:T:T Keep up the Sparkle everyone and remember those baby steps soon add up :)

    Will keep track in my sig (as I don't like keeping physical money in pots etc as will be more likely to dip in to it for the bus/milk etc!) of how much is in my 'Sparkle Fund' to treat myself to something at the end of the month, clothes related, regardless of what size it is, or what size I would rather it be, I will buy something that fits NOW!
    Kicking off with £2 into the fund for the 30 mins I've just done on the exercise bike. It's such a shame as it's such a lovely day here, lovely and warm and the sun is shining, but both kids are napping at the moment so I'm stuck indoors! Would much rather have gone for a nice walk, but the eldest won't sleep in the pushchair so here I am!

    My plan is to put 10p in my Sparkle Fund every time I have a sparkle moment. I can only treat myself out of my sparkle fund. Saving it until the last day of each month.

    No rubbish eaten 10p
    No wine tonight 10p
    1hr painting 10p
    Bubble bath tonight, music and a pamper session, with my lotions and potions 10p
