    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    So I've dithered and missed the Fairy :eek: jeez, too slow to catch cold at the moment :o
    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.

    I've been sitting here looking at home insurance, think I will go mad if I look anymore, but hate to think of the fairy coupons disappearing while I was dithering on that :(
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Can I ask another question to the vegans of the thread....I know there are a couple but for the life of me I can't remember who they are,and at the risk of getting it wrong I won't name names.

    I have a beauty product to test at the moment as part of something I do annually...it's aimed at the vegan market I think or at least whom I test for is,although I am not vegan,but they let me test!

    My dilemma is that on reading the ingredients it lists milk as one (not a soya style but animal.)....surely that makes it non vegan friendly?

    any thoughts?
    My sister is vegan and uses only plant based milks.

    A very local deal... my local swimming pool has reduced it's monthly swim pass by£7.30!!:j
    So £16 per month to swim as much as you want.
    ! session, as an OAP :eek:, would be £2.80 so saves me money:j

    Also, suits me very well as pool is across the road from sada!

    Here it's free swimming for people over 60 once they pay £4 for a freedom pass.:) Nellie s looking forward to it ;)

    Quite funny, I don't do makeup so don't have to clear a stash of that. I started off trying to use makeup when I was a teenager but it never stayed on so I gave up and never tried again.

    I do have some moisturiser, but only ever use what I get for free, so have very little of that.
    My dad was the village chemist so I have always had a very full make up bag which has now progressed to a drawer (or 3). Strangely enough my dear mam never mastered make up, or 'creams' and have lovely skin.

    Thank you. I'm just as embarrassed so quit that old chestnut :eek: :rotfl:

    I've taken my time because I realise I've probably got enough face creams to last this year and into next no doubt. Now that embarrassed me but then I thought, what the heck :cool: no one here knows me or would recognise me so here goes :rotfl:

    And another thing, I use face creams every day and night as a rule but have this stash that sits in drawers, well no more :cool:

    My make-up is mostly bought by me and used daily in varying degrees. The only cosmetic I have not paid for for a few years is mascara. I always apply for the freebies, never had one to test. I'd love to test out a foundation but never had the chance :o

    Right, that's it for now, I need to skulk elsewhere for a while xx

    I've got enough toiletries to serve the whole of my estate :D but I have cut down on buying and am using them up .:) but hardly made a dent yet :o
