    Love your comment "walking vets bills":rotfl:

    ValM
    I shouldn't speed read, I misread your comment as had a massage not message and thought gosh, I know she gets up early, but that is cracking on with it:rotfl::rotfl:

    Holiday home, mine would be Lake District too, but Keswick area on lakeside, I cannot walk the fells and waiting to find out if I will ever be able to do so again, but would enjoy looking at them and riding the little ferries and catching the bus up Borrowdale. Abroad - not sure, I cannot be a**ed with flying too much, hate he waiting around, but did fall in love with Seville and Cadiz so probably one of those.

    Nails are Rimmel Stormy Skies love it, even lady in posh dress shop admired my nails yesterday:cool:, now blinging away topped with Revlon Radiant, redo them tonight. My leading lilac has arrived:j

    Happy Saturday, sunny here, got OH geared up for gardening duty, which will necessitate scones being made to keep him happy:rotfl:

    Valm - thanks for the info on the lavender hand cream I think I will get a tube for her to use in addition to the balm. The green balm only came yesterday and we used it twice and the angry red splits look calmer and are drying up already. It has tea tree in it which I think has helped with this.

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    Oooh nice haul. I would really like to try some Margaret Dabbs products. Will you let me know what the oil is like.



    Happy belated birthday. No thanks to the Minstrel also. I don't like chocolates within a crispy shell.

    Question for today: If you were to buy a holiday home where would it be? For me, if I was buying in the UK it would be Kendal. Love that part of the Lake District very much. If it was abroad it would be Mijas on the Costa Del Sol though it's very hilly so wouldn't have to leave it too late in life to buy.

    My new hair colour is very glossy and the cut swishy. Makes me feel fab. Going to Boots today to collect my new sunglasses and also need to collect a bikini from Tesco for Emma.

    Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI It's a Doozi Says Suzi. It's a colour that I've owned for years but hardly wear. On fb yesterday I saw that the new OPI collection is released early August. Saw some photos and the colours are calling me. Think I'll wait until they arrive on QVC.

    Have had a message this morning on MUA for a swap for one of my Elemis Fragipani Monoi Melt oils. Usually I am really fussy and if I have lots of a particular product in stash won't swap to add to it but I really want to get rid of these oils so at the moment I am deciding between swapping for a Nars Illuminator or a Chanel blush. Think I may go for the blush ever though I have plenty of blush however the colour being offered is a US exclusive and is peachy. I don't have any that are peachy.

    Enjoy your Saturday everyone.


    I will do. :) Will be a nice pampering treat :)

    got to go to church and redo flowers as the lillies I did last week which usually last ages have already gone over:(:mad::mad::mad:so much for tesco finest

    Rosemary - not sure if you have a Morrisons close by, but I have always found flowers from there last much longer than from other supermarkets.

    Mingle - a huge CONGRATULATIONS to you. Hope you had some well earned celebrations.


    I have been MIA for a couple of days, hospital appts with mum every day last week. It caught up with me and I just had to sleep!

    I work as a Radiographer in the NHS. Love my job, esp the trauma work I do. Everday is differen and I work with differnt people each day too, which I see as a bonus! (some I can only take for a day at a time)!

    Holiday homes - now that's tough. In the UK I would have to stay true to my roots and would probably end up in North Yorkshire - the area around Bedale/ Richmond is beautiful.

    Outside of the UK - although I have never been I feel that Italy would be nice!!! Of places I do know - north eastern Florida around Jacksonville would be the sopt for me.

    No UU recently but I have to make a start on a scrub tomoro. Not sure if I should open sugar crush or Amazing grace........? What to do??????

    I like the holiday home question, very easy one for me, it would have to be Whitby/Sandsend. Its the dogs favourite place and they love holidays there. We don't go anywhere without them now. We got the first one nearly 6 years ago now as a puppy, the 2nd one we got a year later and he was 2, the couple who had gotten him as a puppy, were too old to look after him properly and had to give him up.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day we're just back from taking the dogs for a day out at the beach. Had a great day lovely and sunny and took the dog tent so they could have shade when it got too hot. Have 2 very quiet and tired dogs now and didn't buy any toiletries with being at the beach all day.

    Still no UU to report here! Have spent today just chilling out. Had the Olympic torch go buy the house yesterday but wasn't really in he mood tbh! Did get a couple of good pics though.

    As for today's question;

    If I had to have a holiday home in the UK it would be South West Wales (Pembrokeshire to be exact). Spent every holiday there for the first 20 years of my life and loved every moment of it. If it was abroad I'd go for an apartment in Prague. I really REALLY want to live there. Keep thinking I could just do the TEFL course and go but OH wouldn't want to. Oh well...if we win the euromillions he won't have a choice hehe!

    evening ladies,

    congratulations Mingle:T:T:T

    belated happy birthday Lilly,

    uu - Umberto Giannini detoxifying shampoo, this smells lovely but if I use it too frequently I find it leaves my hair a little dry, probably wnba

    uu - elvive full restore conditioner - does a good job and doesn't break the bank, wba

    ins

    ciate caviar manicure in white

    squillions of copies of glamour just to get more balance me face wash

    l'oreal sublime bronze self tan lotion, was quite peeved after I bought this - minutes after buying this I went into the store next door to find it £4 cheaper, I did go back to the original shop but they wouldn't refund me, they offered a credit note but I'm wary of these in today's climate. It will teach me to shop around!

    bunch up on the naughty step girls I need to sit down!

    happy pampering, xo

    I have a small UU

    John Masters Vitamin C anti-aging Face Serum 2ml - this wasn't a big enough sample to get a good idea wether or not to buy. I must say though it was like putting slightly thickened orange juice on your face.

    I have tried the Ren Photoactive Sun Veil SPF15 a couple of times now and despite only being spf 15 seems very effective. Has anyone else tried it?
