    Happy birthday Fiasco!

    Pets: I don't have a pet as such because I live away from home, but when I was 15 I got the most amazing cat/tiger (he is HUGE!) called Sebastian Merrick and he lives with my mom, so I still see him.

    My ideal pet would be Sebby coming to live with me (unfortunately it's just not viable and he's happy at mom's), a capybara and a slow loris. <3

    Looks like I am on an indefinite no buy on anything and everything for the next month now. Have been emergency taxed at my new job for the second month running and now find myself short of cash for the rest of the month. Might have to have a blog sale/ebay a lot of my makeup stuff that I haven't used just to scrape some money together so I can actually get to work for the rest of the month!

    I have a couple of UU

    Maybelline Dream Fresh BB - light 1ml
    Impulse Very Pink 35ml - annoyingly didn't realise is was empty until I wanted to use it, luckily had a perfume sample in my bag so used that instead. Don't think I have anymore left so will have to buy more. Think this is the first product type that I stash that I've actually run out of since starting the challenge.

    Just had to look those two up Mingle - how cool are they??!!!! :D

    For me - If there was no problem with where and how etc, Id love some penguins and seals... and Macaws - one of each colour....

    No ins - got some splutterers, but nothing that will run out before the end of the month I dont think....

    Glad it went ok Willowbee - what a lovely idea to go where you all had such a lovely time for her birthday :)

    Just seen new Ana Sui perfume is out next month, really want this now, but will have to go and smell it first, I suppose.

    Another UU: have just had a bath and used up the last of my bottle of Philosophy Pure Grace Shower Gel in it. WBA. Love this fragrance and Amazing Grace equally. Am going to try not to open anything else now before I go away and use up some of the many bottles that Emma seems to have on the go as I have a big bottle of L'Occitane Verbena to take with me.

    I love amazing grace so much!

    I am a map turner too.



    I loved The Woman in Black and read another one of her books. I think it was called The Various Haunts of Men. I really didn't enjoy it. The pacing was very slow and just didn't hold my attention. I put me off reading anything else of hers.

    Valm I have also been loaned 50 shades too. Not started reading it yet though.



    :rotfl: not at all.....I am getting the 400mls of cleanser and toner with PCMC :T

    Thanks for the pre birthday wishes. Got a lovely day planned and I am heading to Jamie's Italian for my birthday meal.
