Frump to Fab 2019 - Here We Go Again

I'm trying to decide about buying one of those water filter jugs. I don't like the tap water here, it is so poor compared to my home city so if I want to cut down on bottled water it might be the answer.

My DGD has one in her student house because the water in her part of London isn't to her taste. I'm proud of her, not just for drinking water, but because she fills her reusable bottle to take out with her.:money:

Everyone sounds very fab, I'll have to wait to get rid of the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer look before I can do anything fab.ou


Sugarbaby your outfit sounds lovely, poor Juliet you have to pity her, at least you got away from him, sounds like her life with him isn't going to be very fab.


Candygirl a non sneeze perfume? Maybe I should try it, I'd love to wear perfume again, if it doesn't make DH sneeze that would be wonderful. Maybe they'd give me a sample? Estee Lauder Youth Dew is the worst for him.

I think it just suits me, so isn't technically non sneezy:rotfl: Omg Youth Dew is so strong!! My late Nan used to wear it :eek:

I think my late MILs liberal use of Youth Dew might have triggered the problem.


Maman she sounds like a sensible girl.

Youth Dew......instant migraine and I don't even have to wear it:rotfl:

Once sat behind someone in a cinema (Dr Zhivago) who reeked of the stuff. . By the interval I knew I was in trouble. On the way home my dad had to stop the car 3 times so I could throw up. To me it smells vile.

SUgarbaby - agree with Candy's description of Wayne, you are well out of there girl. Poor Juliette sounds like she hadn't seen the light yet.

I use a jug filter. Our city water has a definite twang. When I get my new kitchen I shall have a proper tap filter like I had in our old family house.

I forgot to floss yesterday,:D oh well, I will go and do it in a minute.

I tried on one of the tops I dyed today that went a raspberry pink colour. The sleeves are a little weird, maybe I should have tried it on before instead of just looking at it to see if it would fit.:p

I will just have to remember not to take my cardigan off when I wear it, it looks okay with the sleeves covered up.

Lipstick queen frog prince - this lipstick is green, but reacts to the colour of your lips and turns a nice pink. It is supposed to be a universal colour which suits everyone. A good start if you are new to wearing lipstick.

Sounds interesting!:)

I've got a tap filter but I still don't like the water. Maybe I'm too fussy :rotfl:

We have a fridge/ freezer with a filtered water dispenser, so the water is filtered and chilled. Both of my student children really dislike the water in their respective uni towns as a result - they are too used to our water!

Used a face mask (the soaked with serum, face shaped piece of papery stuff type) last night - a N0 7 one (have about 5 or 6 received as part of gift sets over the years) - my husband and children found it hilarious! However, I'd say that it did plump up my mouth lines - shame it's not massively long lasting. Worth keeping the others to use around 'events' though

OMG, I just went to floss earlier and saw my reflection and put that pink top I was wearing in a charity shop donation bag.:rotfl:

I put my green jumper on instead over my long black dress and a grey waterfall cardigan on top. I also wore my black, sparkly scarf as it's quite a bit colder.

I moved my scented body lotion out from the drawer to the shelf next to my perfume so I can use it as hand lotion each day.:)

I've seen women on The Real Housewives shows use them.:p

Hello Ladies,

Unfortunately Juliet has deluded herself that she is the great love of Wayne's life even though I was the 5th woman he has cheated on her with over their 7 year on and off relationship that she has found out about. :eek: I do not understand why she wants to marry Wayne. There are plenty of truly good mature men out there who are single and would treat her the way she deserved, but she is clinging to her fantasy.

I had some sweet treats from Christmas Eve until yesterday, but I am really pleased that I only gained 1lb in weight over the holiday period.

From today I have gone back to eating a much more healthy diet. I want to look as good as possible when I go on holiday. Maman I think the general public tend to forget that the literal meaning of the word diet is eat. I try to stick to healthy eating. Yes the weight comes off very slowly but I do not feel like I can only eat food that is not a pleasure to my taste buds and to my sense of smell.
