    just had my neighbour round to say my friends girlfriend has moved out of his house and asked him to say goodbye to me.My friend was actually buried at my church so will be able to go and say goodbye on my own so some closure.he was only 57 !!!!
    at least the church was full so I would not have been missed.

    did my coffee morning but only sold two necklaces:(may try fleabay but a pain to photo and write up each item but need to sell or DH said I can't make any more:rotfl:

    DS1s op delayed so not going to USA in June:(wondering if I can persuade DH to go somewhere else as we have been getting on okay(due to me compromising of course:rotfl:)

    just making mussel stew a la Michel roux from food and drink prog mmmmmmmmm

    Question for you - you know when a powder crumbles in its pan, is there anything you can do, or do you really need to throw it?

    Hope you're all well!

    if you google, there are lots of youtube videos where people break it up to proper loose powder, squirt it with rubbing alcohol then press it back together with a coin wrapped in some cloth. never tried it myself but it does seem to work!

    A timely UU - the Dettol No Touch Cucumber Hand Wash.
    I was all set to bin what was left and replace it with my freebie pink grapefruit, but lo and behold, it had run out anyway. Perfect timing.
    WIB? (It was a competition win.)
    No, I'm not keen on cucumber as a bathroom scent.
    This would have been better in the kitchen with that scent, but I knew I'd be continually triggering the blessed thing in the kitchen as the sink area is fairly small and cluttered. The cucumber is very fresh smelling, but not one that appeals to me.

    2 OUTs- Live Salon Style permanent hair dye - chocolate brown. WIBA? Yes, i think so! My hair is naturally dark but due to a few different colour dyes it's almost a ginger brown on top and dark on the bottom! Not a good look lol. I got them in Savers for £3, which is a bargain as i use to pay £5 for the xxl stuff. It's a nice quality dye and i find it lasts a good while.

    Also have 1 splutter - tresemme shampoo 2 in 1. Even being 2 in 1 it's taken forever to use up!! haha.

    I had a lovely facial the other day, my first ever and felt very relaxed after! My skin is very soft now and since i've decided i need to commit to a proper skin routine. I use face wipes daily but that started about 5 yrs ago when i was at college. Since having my LB my skins got quite bad with spots popping up here and there, and i scar easily so will end up with a red dot on my face for weeks :(

    I'm currently using a simple lotion, toner and moisturiser i got at christmas for 10p in the sales. Have to say it's really nice quality and i'm determined to stick to using each once a day :) Hope your all having a nice evening!
  • Some more GA's/TA's and UU's

    GA to friends:
    Lush avobath
    Lush north pole soap
    Lush cream e/s

    TA:
    Mario Badescu drying lotion - love this but I just realised it's almost 2 years old, eck!

    UU:
    Lush - enchanter bath bomb - MY FAV!!!! Oh how I love the smell so much
    Neom bath oil

    I also listed a bunch of products on ebay too, so hopefully that will be more UU's.

    I am about to place an order on Monday for some Lush retro goodies, so I will be having some IN's. I can't help it though :/ I am off to London for a 2 day city break and spa treatment so I hope that I do not spend too much.

    On another note, I'm so tempted by this....must shut browser

  • UU Love Your Skin face wash WNBA this was from LIB the product was good but very grainy as it was also exfoliating but it was in a pump bottle and wouldn't pump! I had to unscrew the top and pour it out.
  • Rosemary, I sell jewellery on etsy and folksy. Much better than ebay. If you want help setting up, look me up, I'm The Magpie's Daughter. ;) But yes, you'll have to take photos.

    So sorry to hear about everyone's troubles. *big hooge snuggles for all*

    thank you mad scientist and evil squid (strangest sentence I've ever written!) for the suggestions!

    Feeling a lot cheerier today as BF is out of hospital! going to go see him tomorrow and really excited!

    Nail varnish I put on yesterday had chipped terribly by today so have just removed - in two minds whether to keep it with it having such awful coverage!

    Had 4 UUs today - 3 disposable razors (I don't know why I throw them in the bath basket and forget to throw them, it's a terrible habit) and I finally finished a 900ml tresemme deep clean shampoo. WBA as I feel it is good for the price.

    Hope everyone is doing ok
