    Fir has asked me not to do this (I think would be much easier, I hate drawing them on, its a daily faff). :(. Does your friend look good? The thing is when it loos good I think you don't notice so cannot ask or a recommendation. When ou notice you know its not where to go.:D. Anyway, Fir says no. :(


    I am with FiR on this one.

    Oh dear - I quite liked something that LIR would contemplate :eek:

    I don't like the "seam" down it - it looks as though it would leak (although I'm sure it doesn't really). Get the amethyst one. ;)

    I had exactly the same thoughts :)

    Sometimes I say I'd like lash extensions, semi permanant eyeliner, eyebrows and then I'd be fine weekdays. Maybe some natural colour lip liner to even out a slight lip line issue that for says I imagine :D

    I mainly say it to get him shaking his head......

    Ip do get bored of drawing eyebrows on. But I wouldn't want them to always look so strong!

    So, beet risotto is off, because I was randomly adding other veg that looked sorry in the fridge and when I tasted it it tastes off. I'm getting DH and resident parent fish and chips and I'll have a scoot about for me later.

    Meanwhile I 'm watching Nigel slater and drooling.

    I'm actually planning a plain white bath for en suite, as we won't be able to have the onxy nor the amethyst ones. :D. I went off the leaf one though I still like the shape. DH would like a copper one, but they are all that sit up shape.....no good, no good. I still fancy some sort of open plan possibility between bathroom and bedroom, but I'm thinking now of something like old bi fold shutter doors,. (My architect hates this idea,I feel the need to defend his reputation)

    Isaac and I had a lovely time in Bath, and a wonderful lunch with LIR (who is absolutely as glamourous and fun as I thought she would be, but not as scary as I feared).

    Isaac behaved reasonably well, until he disgraced himself a while after lunch by saying, "I've had enough talking now. Can we go?"
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    I have been ploughing through the gallery to find brows like mine. None really. The woman at the bottom of this page is the closest

    http://www.smudge-free.co.uk/gallery-eyebrow-page-8.html but I have more than her. The outer part / half of my brow is pretty much gone, odd stray hair. First part is good. The after of those would be too heavy for me. :(


    Perhaps it is only me, but I think they look better before. Like women really.

    :rotfl: only the specialist can prescribe that and they won't refer me to a specialist. So we have bitten the bullet and started the spending spree.

    First appointment £185 (45 mins) private prescription £30(?) and to dispense probably £20-£30?

    It only aggravates me that I can't get a referral to get a small prescription when single mothers can get IVF. But what do I know, clearly it's a public health benefit to fund single mothers

    </bitter mode off>

    Will the Cons write to you GP to ask for the prescription to be continued? That is what I have had in the past.

    It's all private from here. EVERY single thing. I might get some blood tests sneaked in but that's it. :)

    I like being glamourous, I can live with that thank you (though how one is glamourous in jeans and a t shirt and a cardi not that sure! I was envying your lovely dress) but not AS scary? I was scary? :)

    It was fabulous to meet you both! I was enchanted by Isaac, and don't think he disgraced himself at all, in fact, I was very impressed at how charming he was. Another nice child. Don't know how all you nice people do it but there are some real treasures being raised :)
