Hope the elderly stag party have quietened down Laura 😳. How are you feeling now?

I’m so excited for you that you get to see your house tomorrow. Hope it’s everything you could dream of 🥰.

I’ve done boring house jobs today and then a long walk over the fields with 2 dogs, DP and the 3 yo - trying to tire her out as she doesn’t seem to have been sleeping so well. We will see if it works! She walked about 3 miles over fields in wellies with no carrying so if this doesn’t work nothing will 🤣.

I remember sun in! I never wanted my hair lighter but lots of people used it. I also remember putting oil on to tan quicker 😳. I went to France for 2 weeks when I was 15 and my tummy was so tanned!

Hi @RaspberryBeretxx , yes the stag party have gone out now . I’ll wait for them to arrive back 😂I’m sure they’ll wake me up 😂. I’m feeling ok thank you just my throat and head hurt but I’ve been relaxing a lot today and had some soup and lots of cups of tea so throat feels a little better than before .
I’m so excited about seeing house too, I’m getting picked up at 2pm so I can’t wait. I’ll try and get a pic to show you all.
Wow that is a long walk, I bet it was lovely though to be out in the fresh air. If little one doesn’t sleep tonight I’m sure you will 😂 Awww that’s a lovely age, I miss those years.
Oh yes I remember the oil , the browner the better and now I can’t go in the sun and have a vitamin d deficiency , you couldn’t make it up 😂xx

Yeah, seems it’s working again since I posted today! Very odd, but never mind. I hope everyone has a lovely evening 😊

You too @TealPoet . There’s a huge stag party in the rooms next to me , they are so loud 😂. I thought it’d be a load of young men. Had a peep through the spy hole in the door and they look like they are due to be drawing their pensions soon xx

I read that as "pink suade knickers"... bit of a different picture... 😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Hilarious. Don’t think I’ve ever owned suede knickers . I’m at the age now where I go for comfort rather than them looking nice 😂xx

I do remember Sun In Laura, my oldest daughter used too much of it and ruined her hair 😂
Sorry you are not feeling well, hope your throat feels better soon 🌸

There’s was no purple shampoo back in the day either so your hair just looked yellow 😂
Thank you. I can’t get warm today so I’ve got heater on full blast in room xx

Hi @spoonfulofmustard , lovely to hear from you , how’s your week been?

Hi @AdmittowearingCrocs How are you today? I slept ok thank you but then woke up feeling rotten with headache and sore throat.
Brut 45 🤣 I forgot about that . Do you remember Sun in? It was bleach spray in a bottle and it absolutely stank but that was how we got highlights back in the day 🤣xx

Why am I no longer getting notifications on this thread? I was wondering why it was so quiet and how everyone is, but apparently it isn’t! :)

Hi @TealPoet , Lovely to see you on here.

We have been reminiscing about the 80/90’s 🤣xx

Morning spoon tribe, hope you slept well Laura?
I remember when I was a teen my boyfriend used to wear Brut 45 in large quantities, it was quite overpowering.
Hope you all have a great Saturday 🌸🥄😁

It absolutely honked. I can remember they also did an instant tan in a bottle which I dropped all over my carpet. Everybody wore foundation that didn’t match their skin and never blended it into their neck either.
Simpler times….

🤣🤣🤣🤣I love that. They were simpler times definitely.
We didn’t have to worry about social media then and all the other stuff there is now xx

Morning to all. This thread makes me smile every time I open it! @Imbluedalale Max Factor panstick was the make up of choice in my school. Number 13 natural beige is coming to mind. We all wore the same shade 🤣 Oh and Boots No.17 fake tan.....it reeked!!

Hi @nornironlady , have you got any plans for the weekend?
😂😂😂😂😂Do you remember how we used to put foundation on with our hands? There was none of this blending back then. If you didn’t have a track line around your face you wasn’t doing it right 😂
Oh and no outfit was complete without big hoop earrings xx

I love that quote, raspberry. it definitely applies to our Laura.

I used to wear Anais Anais. It’s lovely. I might have a look and see if they still sell and if it’s a cruelty free brand.

I’ve been invited by my daughter in law to go to theirs for a takeaway and watch strictly tomorrow, which is nice.

Hi @Apolloneuro How are you feeling now? I hope your all better. Any plans for the weekend?
Did you order the cruelty free Anais Anais?
Ohhhh takeaway and strictly sounds perfect. I hope you have a lovely time xx

I haven’t completely caught up with everybody but remembering all the perfumes - body shop dewberry and white musk and Elizabeth Arden sunflowers in particular 🤣.

@RaspberryBeretxx it's not a bad thing going into the weekend clear headed 😂 it might motivate me to do something other than lounge about and clean. Life is too short for the cleaning bit anyway. No-one ever lay on their death bed worrying about clean skirting boards 😁 this thread is making me a little nostalgic for my school days. I can smell them!
