    "Bright Young Things"

    I have it on my rental list too! I loved Waugh's Brideshead Revisited and Stephen Fry is quite possibly, my no. 1 all-round fab person! Slightly off-topic: Has anyone seen Peter's Friends? Not a period piece but incredibly well acted and starring Fry and Laurie (but not in the comedy due...

    Skin Moisturizers

    Yes, Origins is fine. My SIL first turned me onto it when she bought me a set of moisturisers....she spent absolutely ages looking for a UK company that fulfilled my criteria! I have combination skin too and I have absolutely no problem with AM. One week a month, my T-zone is super greasy...

    Vintage shoes- Softening Hard Leather

    Not sure - some leather food? Do you have a saddler or tack shop near you? Or perhaps some of the stuff you use on leather furniture?

    Skin Moisturizers

    Have you tried Almond Kisses, Folly? It's very good. For combination skin, I've found I cannot beat Origins Perfect World. For washing, I use Aqua Marina everyday (occasionally, AOBS) - it's brilliant! I prefer it to Coalface, as I find that even that dries out my skin. My MIL bought me some...

    Some questions about vintage clothing for everyone.

    I wear repro every day and vintage on special occasions. Luckily, I go out quite a lot, so have plenty of special occasions! I probably wear my vintage bras (they were all NOS) more than any other vintage...they're not usualy reserved for special occasions. It is entirely dependent upon my...

    Skin Moisturizers

    I'm another fan of shea butter - try to get fairly traded stuff and make sure it's unrefined and food grade. It's truly wonderful stuff. Pure cocoa butter is also fantastic and of course, it has that delicious chocolate scent! Nightshade, I get eczema on my scalp (think cradle cap in...

    Anyone here have a Mail Ordered Bride?

    I saw a documentary last year about mail order brides; at the start, I was convinced that the very gorgeous blonde single parent was out to take the middle aged, unattractive, reasonably well off American guy for a ride. How wrong I was. That poor lady was abused in the most vile manner, even to...

    How to give a pill to a cat

    A little humour for all you dog lovers...and cat lovers too! 1. Pick up cat and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens...

    California lawmaker proposes no spanking law.

    Whilst I cannot disagree with you vis a vis our ASBO culture over here, I don't think this is solely to do with whether a child is smacked or not. Discipline is far more than using physical violence. OK, there are always exceptions to the rule but I find that genrally, the above makes sense.

    Things I'm Sick of Hearing at Job Interviews...

    1. "You're overqualified" 2. "What would happen if one of your children was ill?"

    Take it off!!! (Let's hear what you think, ladies.)

    I noticed your eyes before I even saw the doggie photo! I completely agree with Douglas looking like Edward Mulhare - very distinguished!
