    In this trusted place U can erase
    Every tear that ever rolled down your weary face

    I go through an amazing amount of toothbrushes and I'd love to know a cheap but environmentally friendlier way round it. On the plus side, I've got to 34 without ever needing any dental work done so I suppose it has payback.

    I've lost the post but I'm sure someone earlier said they had perfume they used during the day and then applied some at bedtime? I don't know if I've got that right but I admire your dedication! In the same way, women who have the energy to get up before their partners to apply make-up are a wonderful mystery to me.

    I don't own perfume and I still have half the tube of foundation I bought for my wedding over 2 years ago. I'm lucky enough to have clear skin but I admit that I'd love to be a bit glam sometimes.

    Although the only time I've REALLY wanted to wear make up was when I was in labour and my brother and his partner turned up all dressed up for a posh night out. I felt like such a scruff huffing and puffing away! What WAS I thinking! :eek: :rotfl:
    May all your dots fall silently to the ground.

    I agree with you about Lush - my treat to myself is to buy their shower gel which can also be used as a shampoo.

    They have just changed all these so will have to get used to the new ones now.

    I agree! I use Lush 'TRAMP' Shower gel, I buy the big bottles (500ml) and it costs about £8 but it last for ages! smells devine, looks great (almost black colour) and I just love the name - makes me remember my wild side LOL :p

    I don't think I could manage without booze and broadband. If I was forced to choose, I'd keep the broadband.

    Apart from that, as long as I've got food to eat and a place to sleep I can cope:).
