Morning all - heavy frost here but sunny so when it clears a bit I'm off down to B/wine to do a bit more scraping on her bottom
As I'll be covered in muck again its just moisturiser & perfume (I'm sure she will appreciate it :rotfl:)
Got Yoga tonight and its a 5:2 day so I'll be busy & not thinking about food.
Have a good fab day allSmall victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0 -
Morning Silvasava
I haven't fabbed yet.But I'm working from home and woke up 5 minutes before I had to start - must've really needed the sleep. I really wanted to shower before I got dressed so have been waiting for my lunch break.
What do you ladies do with your cuticles? I think I will just leave mine as they are healthy and I have no trouble maintaining longer nails. I have an Avon Cuticle Balm that I rub in every night along with moisturising my hands.0 -
Yet another moisturiser finished off this morning, and a shower gel
have found another facial moisturiser, which don't particularly like, its a collagen one, and feels a bit heavy. However seems as though i'm unable to waste anything, I will use very liberally twice a day, so I can start to use my new one I bought with DD the other day.
I have however been told by DD to throw away some oil hair treatment I found, as apparently these are no good for coloured hair as stop the colour holding onto your hair, so this has gone this morning.
Sprayed perfume this morning, put hair back and currently fabbing house and looking after poorly hubby, hopefully on the mend soon, with plenty of tlc off me
Have a lovely day everyone, hugs to all who need or want, smiles for everyone, please pass onLoving life to the full, just need purse full too

I'm looking forward to Fab Friday tomorrow. I'm going to go to the gym tonight when I finish work, and then when I get home I'm going to wash my hair and have a long bath (depending on whether I shower after the gym or head home stinky…) and maybe paint my nails. Tomorrow is Friday and I'm going out for a meal after work, so I'm really looking forward to it!No more goo hoarding!

Yes Fab Friday tomorrow - already!!!! Wher does the time go.
PQ Have a lovely time tomorrow evening, and get all fabbed up......
Tomorrow I have Physio and a bit of running around to do. Hoping to make an early start, get all the errands done, then Physio then a nice coffee somewhere. I'm not supposed to do much after Physio bit I'm sure a coffee or light lunch will be ok.
Today I have been busy Sorting out a load of paperwork, mainly from OH's. I think we are all done now, but I've not thrown anything away jusI in case, so I've just neatly labelled and filed everything away for now.
On my own this evening, so dinner and then curl up with a book or maybe a film.
Its been a funny old day, Ive felt strangely unsettled today, can't put my finger on it. Whilst I was pottering about I played music, I found myself seeking out music mum likes.0 -
Lots of great updates from everyone.
Tomorrow is my non working day, so I plan on making an effort with my nice clothes. I do have a lot of errands to do though and my lack of time is the thing that keeps me from fabbing. I've set my alarm for 1/2 hour earlier so I can get ready at my leisure, before waking the children up.0 -
Good Evening Fabbers,
Had a bit of a strange day today but i can't quite put my finger on why it was strange, just don't feel my usual self. However, tomorrow is another day.
Did all my usual fabbing today. I am surprised i managed it as i was out first thing to the surgery for my overdue blood tests. It turns out i was supposed to get them done last November, blood taking lady was very nice and didn't moan at me.
Started doing some of my KM tidying, i did DH's drawers today and i only binned a pair of socks, it's amazing how much space it creates.
Well I am of to have a cup of tea and take my last lot of tablets before going to bed.
Happy Fabbing Ladies
Regards:j0 -
Morning ladies... First day off today, off for nearly a fortnight
so pleased. Feel like body is rebelling and isn't letting me get up!! There will be lots of fabbing and relaxing but also need to get some de cluttering done badly!!
Debenhams clinique if you take in an old cleanser will give you a sonic cleanser to try. Good if you have anything left over in cupboard you don't like.. Starts today ladies.
LL and tooties hope you are both feeling more like yourselves today- out of sorts days are horrible as your always a little agitated but no idea why .. Hugs.
Enjoy fab Friday every one0 -
Sorry should say debenhams Clinique deal it is a full size cleanser you need to take in ( can be empty half used whatever) not a sample or travel size.0

Morning all on Fab Friday - don't feel fab at the moment. Weighed myself & although I've kept reasonable well to my eating plan I didn't manage my 5:2 yesterday. Felt a bit wobbly (never happened before) so had toast & peanut butter when I got home result is I've yoyo'd up! Did think that would happen though as a lot going on this week with a funeral (snacky things) & friends going home abroad (alcohol!). I will have another go next week.
Forecast is dry again here today so more bottom scraping so perfume & moisuriser. I'll do my 'proper' fabbing on Sunday morning 'cos my hair is going pink again (very fetching!) & as Saturday looks dry as well there will be more scraping.
Rubies Sometimes when I've bought a moisturiser that feels too heavy or thick I've mixed in a thinner one - it seems to work OK. In fact I have a pump botttle in the bathroom thats got all my old sunscreens and anything that I dont like the feel of mixed together & I use that daily. Funnily enough it still has some sunscreen protection & seems to moisturise very well - waste not want not!Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0
