  • Sparkle Fund.......love that phrase :j

    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.

    Today

    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

    :staradmin Todays Sparkles 40p

    :)

    Love the Sparkle fund name too, and also love the idea of a small payment for each sparkle, so im pinching both ideas :rotfl:

    Ok so far today then 10p to Sparkle fund rewarded for having an Early night last night :)

    I was sitting on the thrown looking down at my crusty feet and I suddenly realised....the once pink nail varnish on my toes, was now 3 months old and a yuck shade of beige! :D Oh dear! As its winter and I have noone to impress, I just forget about it. This morning I was moisturising my flaky legs and I burst out laughing, the hair on my legs was about 1 inch long! :D:D Eeew!

    So, when do we empty out sparkle fund, the end of a month? I've also got a mini challege of my own which is to use all lotions/shampoo ect before I buy any more. I used to work for No7 so have so much stuff but I've sold a lot on ebay and kept the stuff I really will use. So todays tasks are ebay, hedge cutting ;) and sorting out the toes (doing the feet would take hours!) :D

    Oh Nat you did make me laugh, I'm pretty much in the same boat with the leg hair, but I thought that maybe with the sparkle fund I could get them waxed later. It's still jeans and opaque tights weather....

    I'm also doing my own version of use everything up before buying new. I'm a serial blagger at the beauty counters and am always getting samples meaning I can get away with not buying for quite a while.

    Just because my legs aren't done, doesn't mean I'm not taking care of myself now. Yesterday, I schooled the horse for 45 minutes, good cardio....I was very out of breath! I've made sure that I've moisturised every day too, using a scented body one today.

    Well I tried to get on the exercise bike again today but the baby woke up after about 0.2k! Not even enough to get a sore bum lol :rotfl:

    Forgot to say yesterday how absolutely amazing I was yesterday on the bike as I also had the laptop on the table next to me - propped up on a box so it was at my level, and I had Superpoints up so I could do my clicks while cycling, then Swagbucks clicking through videos :D
    Gotta love a bit of multi-tasking :D

    I do this, rest the laptop on the screen and handles, play bingo and watch Jerry Springer. I dont watch it because I enjoy it, I watch it because the women are huge and it reminds me that my a$$ aint much smaller! :D

    And my toe nails are a fetching shade; Pink Grapefruit!
