All of my friends seem to have fake finger nails. I don't need bare nails for my job but I find nail polish needs constant upkeep. And cba. I prefer to file and buff at home. What do you not do that your friends do?

The list is quite long:
no fake nails
don't shave anywhere and never have
Never been to a Nando's, Subway or KFC
Never had Pot Noodle
No reality TV
No TV news
No hairdresser
No professional eyebrow/lash stuff
No dryer (laundry)

No nail Polish. I think blobs of colour at ends of fingers and toes look weird.

No Botox.

No fake boobs.

No fake lips.

Mascara and a bit of blusher. That's me set.

Cover my grey hair (it's stunning platinum blonde) do anything with my nails (grow naturally so long I have to cut them)
Give no fucks for anyone's unsolicited opinion.

Not buying fucking Nescafé due to their fucking advert which has opened twice on this thread. Hate the fucking bastards now.

No hair dye
No eyebrow upkeep though I did get rid of the monobrow decades ago and it never grew back.
CBA to shave legs. Either covered up for UV or for cold.

I don’t paint my nails either, I have short stubby fingers and my nails are wider than they are long so it looks weird.
Also don’t:
Drive
Eat meat
Wear makeup
Wear heels
Watch love island
Go for a massage

Put milk in my coffee, I spent two years thinking I was bloody pregnant every sodding month because it tasted weird with milk Hmm It tastes lovely now.

Not something I don't do but rather something I didn't do ... fully grow up. I love kids toys and I'm not stopping for anyone.

I rarely go on holiday. I just don’t like it that much and would rather spend my money on other things.

Shave legs or pits
Wear makeup
Dye greys

I'm weirdly vain about eyelashes, so they get the revitalash treatment.

KillerFlamingo · 31/07/2021 12:25

Ironing is a good one, I don't iron.
If DH wants a shirt flat, he can do it.

Not sure about next year though, DS will need shirts for school... Hmm
