    Apparently waxing makes it worse but bleaching makes it look stupid :think: I wonder if I paint a clown face on they'll stop picking on me :D

    :( meanies

    One of dh's colleagues had lazer in various places - apparently it's really good (but I think it's pricey). Electrolysis is cheaper, but I'm not sure I'd trust it on my face (I've got rosacea so i'd probably be replacing hair with a load of veins - oh how attractive :rotfl::rotfl:)

    I agree.....I'm never leaving here either. I work 4 days a week 8-3pm can chose whichever day off I want. During school hols I work 3 days and can chose whichever 2 days off I want. Its an Engineering company, very few women so no !!!!!iness, great bunch of guys. Spend most days laughing.....and decent money for laughing most of the day. Couldn't beat it!! :rotfl:
    :T the majority of people i speak to re: work are men. On the downside, they love nothing better than back slapping over a game of golf or at a networking lunch so i leave them to it:D But i know what you mean

    :rotfl: that would be mean (but funny)

    That does sound fab, he sounds like a nice boss too :D

    I have a new boss and he's one of those compulsive liar people - seems like a nice enough chap, but can't believe a word he says :rotfl:
    He has his PMT moments - and when he does, I "flip him the bird" from behind my computer or under my desk. He can be a !!!!head So i switch off at those parts. Last week, I was so excited about booking mum's xmas present and was bursting to tell someone so I told him. And his reply? "oh..... right". If I was a comedian, it's the equivalent of being boo-ed offstage. So i stuck my fingers up at him secretly, went into the bathroom and swore my head of at him :rotfl::D

    Where I used to work certain members of staff would play 'hide the fish finger' :eek: :rotfl:
    Sounds ruder than it is :D
    They'd get a frozen fish finger (had to be frozen because they don't smell for the first few hours :D) and hide it somewhere and then see how many days it takes people to figure out what the smell is and find it :D
    :rotfl::rotfl::D It does sound rude. funny though.

    Grrrr, no stock on shelf :mad:

    Blue wkd 10 pack.

    2 for £18, 3 for £24 in Ts, £8 each in As.
    Buy 2 in Ts (£18) but receipt should hopefully see £26.50 (£13.25 each) vs £16 in As.
    By my calculations gives a PP back capped at £10, making them £4 a box of 10 bottles :j

    No idea if it will work :( so was gonna test first but grrr at Ts for not having any stock out :mad:
    ooh, dad is an alcopop dad so would love this glitch. I'll go after lunch (am meeting OH). will let you know.

    DH is always tormenting me saying I should be shaving more than him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I didn't know whether to :( or :rotfl: at that

    I've definitely noticed mine getting worse recently, I don't know whether waxing will make it worse or better :o

    Definitely :rotfl: I'll get him back might put immac in his hair gel.:D


    I know your pain, I get tormented too by dh, but little does he know, I use his razor on other parts of my body :) that's my payback to him hahahahaha
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    :rotfl: I've done this a few times too :D
    I hope my DH doesn't read this thread.
    I bought him a brand new bottle of YSL yesterday and he'd probably start wondering what's actually in it :rotfl:
