    Woohoo! Huge congrats on getting the job ! :D Well done on the sale too - always good to get rid of something big and bulky :T Thanks for the vibes on the assignment :) I'm going to crack on with it in a few minutes :) I really really really need some new make-up too :o i just don't have any money to get any :( I only really need foundation - i suppose i can get away with the blusher etc. but i could do with going somewhere and having my make-up done and paying for that and getting that amount knocked off the cost of an item. With the foundation i have got it just isn't 'sitting' right as well as being the wrong colour - oh dear! :o

    My sympathies: I think it's worth trying to get some samples (if you are going posh). I buy Estee Lauder's Doublewear, which certainly isn't cheap, but I know it works and it lasts and it saves me having to pay out the equivalent of several bottles worth trying to find something that works as well but is cheaper (if it exists). However, they did do a colour test and give me a sample which lasted a few applications before I started buying it so I knew that it would definitely suit me. Get thee to a department store!

    *Extra good vibes for assignement*

    Well that's the end of my first day: it was good, but I am exhausted and still have to parcel up my Ebay sold items.

    Today's spendies:

    £38 petrol
    £2.99 car wash (the shame of turning up to my new job in that state!)
    £2.99 multitool for the car (dibdibdib and all that)

    Back soon when less exhausted!
