    Best beauty decision you've made?

    My best one was cleansing my face with the hot flannel method. I have dry skin thats prone to clogging if I'm at work as it's pretty dusty but this has worked wonders. My second is No 7 Protect and Perfect. It may be my imagination, but I'm sure I'd look like Zelda from Terrahawks without it...

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    How very polite, but they must have huuuge phone bills!

    M&S secret support pencil skirt

    It's a bit of a squeeze to get in and I know from the feedback in their site it's not everyones cup of tea. Someone said you may as well wear support knickers, which is true, but at least you don't get VPL!

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    He can't help it! That usually only happens when I have rung him in work and he's in RT mode.

    Do you say Goodbye on the 'phone?

    My husband is an air traffic controller so phone conversations are a little strange sometimes! He used the phonetic alphabet if spelling things out on the phone and iIf he makes an error he just says tersley 'disregard'!

    M&S secret support pencil skirt

    Has anyone else tried the Marks and Spencer secret support pencil skirt? I was in there yesterday and bought one and for under £30 it's not bad. I does smooth out your lumps and bumps and it quite flattering on. The material isn't 'all that' it's polyester and quite thick, but for a winter skirt...

    Bobby-pin storage

    I use a glass dish that is separated into 3 sections, I think it was originally for sweets or canapes. It's hard to describe but if you imagine a small glass dish for dips! They are always in charity shops, look pretty and are really useful for seperating different pins.

    Remoulding lipsticks to fit mini tubes

    Well, for once it's better too small than too big!

    Remoulding lipsticks to fit mini tubes

    The mould or the lipstick Paul? The mould'll be fine, the lipstick I'm not sure!

    Fez info requested

    Hubby occasionally wears his in bed on cold nights. And when snoozing in front of the telly wrapped in his camel hair cloak. See - you'll got lots of use out of it! Especially if, like the Mr, you are lacking in other insulation on the old noggin. He got them both in Tunisia.

    Remoulding lipsticks to fit mini tubes

    I think I have the mould sorted for the next time! I'm going to nip into my friends school workshop (we both teach D&T but I'm not working at the moment) and use the vacuum former to create a reusable mould. I don't know why I didn't think if it sooner, being out of work has turned my brain to mush!

    Really great fashion newsreels on youtube - and puppies

    Banana-cream-facecloth dinner dress? They don't make 'em like that anymore!

    Is this what we, as a society have come to?

    'Does anyone here have a reason why these two should not wed?' YES!!!!

    Does your body change every 7 years?

    Thanks sheeplady, my doctor is checking on thyroid levels as part of my blood test (along with hormone levels, anaemia, etc). She doesn't think anything will show up, which would be fine, but I'd rather know. It very unfair that your body changes soooo much after 40 as in other ways I feel (and...

    Does your body change every 7 years?

    Iv'e also had 2 cesaerians - my belly now looks like one of the expensive soft leather clutchbags where the top folds over! I have just gone for some blood tests to see if it is just one of these 7 year things or something else entirely that has made me feel as if my real body is lying by my...

    Remoulding lipsticks to fit mini tubes

    Thanks everyone for the great ideas! I am a fan of lateral thinking so the plastic tube idea sounds interesting (i'm doing a mental tour of my house now to think of anything suitable). What I did in the end was even more basic though. I broke off the existing orangy lipstick and cleaned out the...

    It looks lovely in the pictures but I wasn't sure about the fabric, it sounded a little modern and lightweight.
