Lilly - sending you many hugs!!!

That was a bargin of a deal on the blu-ray. Might just have to go and take a look for SF birthday later in the year. I find it does help to console onesself with therapy of the retail kind. AND, if it's done via the www then no heavy bags to carry - so no chance of putting you back out, and, not using the car/bus so actually greener/ more MSE. Well, I can convince myself of that, hope it works for you too and brings a smile to your face.

Re the MRI - have you asked if you can take your own CD to listen too during the scan?? A lot of scanners have the ability to put music thro the headphones that they make you wear. No harm in asking if you can take your own music - a lot of my patients come armed with a playlist!!!

Thank you i was reading about mri earlier and it said you can take your own music so i will put a couple of cd's in my bag. the blu-ray i have been after for some time and kept putting it of as i have the trilogy on dvd but i saw a bit of the matrix on blu-ray and i just had to get it. i brought if from Amazon but its coming from jersey so it will take about a week to come. i do most of my shopping via www but i have some Love2shop vouchers a boots gift card and a m&s gift card to use and i am going shopping with my mum on tuesday so might end up on the naughty step but i will bring cakes and a bottle of dr pepper to share do's that seem fair.

Hi
Sorry you are having a rough time, hugs.

I use salonskincare for my Philip Kinglsley shampoo and conditioner, unless they are offering huge sizes on QVC, ssk have often been cheaper for me, although I must find out about tc. Anyway very straightforward, not had any hitches yet. HTH.

Emma Hardie Amazing Face Sculpting Serum, 10ml- WNBA - I actually love serums.......and i loved this one the smell is divine and it tightens up my face...too damm expensive though

Lilly - seems more than fair to me, quite looking forward to it actually!!

I'm feeling a lot better today - had a productive meeting with my manager and things are moving forward, but I'm thinking this may well be a slow process. Thanks to all of you for your support:D

I now need to turn of 'the Q' and remind myself that I do not need tonights Lulu Guinness TSV - regardless of what it may be. I have done very well today and not ordered the LD TSV, as I can't wear varnish for work, I really don't see the point. Mimi breakthrough there me thinks:j:j:j

Aaaaaggghhhh!! Lulu Guinness is one of my favourite designers and I have been trying to be so good. I have a small problem/addicition with handbags and have over 20 of LG's alone. I will have to sit and watch tonight just to see what I am NOT going to buy.

Hugs to Lilly - Hope the small spending spree does what a good spending spree should

A UU - Clinique Pore Minimiser. WNBA as it was rather pointless. I did not see any difference at all after a month of using it. Yet another waste of money on an ineffective supposed solution product. :mad:

Just think that the offer WILL appear again. Use up what you have and by the time you've done that it probably will be on offer again!

Wise words HappyTorty - managed to resist - go me! :j

Kiplingmonkey - Thanks for the hugs - much appreciated. What do you think of the Philosopy fragrance?? I was really pleased with it:j Stay strong with the LE offer. i'm not a fan of this stuff, reacts with my skin really badly, so no chance of it tempting me!!

Yes - it is lovely - currently using an Inner Grace body spritz which is lovely too - had forgotten how nice the Grace fragrances are.

Lilly - massive hugs!

Was expecting to see that some of you had caved in on the LD - it didn't do it for me I have to say, although thought the bag looked quite nice.

Try and be good all of you on the LG tonight. Off topic but I am on waitlist for the Kipling Cammie in the blaise print. I know.....

Several splutterers so hoping for some movement over the weekend.

Off to prepare party bags for DD birthday tomorrow - she is having a joint party with one of her friends so have the joys of a disco party for 28 6 & 7 yr old girls tomorrow. Will need some retail therapy to recover if I am not careful....
