Yeah I am a bit jam it just feels like one thing after another atm 😕 and I really don't want a gastroscopy! !

My massage was lovely, very relaxing and a back massager that I ordered on amazon has arrived! I've given it a go and am quite impressed will be nice to use in the evenings.

So massage was £20, a new water bottle for dd was £3 and parking £2.40.

Well done autumn it sounds like you did well ⭐

Where's wreck?

LOL! unescorted I'm sure you sound much better than you say. Thanks though, for the encouragement, I appreciate it.

Girlie I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. It really does sound like a grind.

Thanks life.

Gosh I'm glad that's done. Sleep now. I slept so badly last night that I couldn't operate the predictive text on my phone today. I'll be glad not to have to think about that exam now. Exciting though. n'night.

Wolfcub · 07/11/2018 19:27

I’m up for self applying make up too. I am both very pale and totally cack handed so I do not bother

Unescorted · 07/11/2018 19:30

We have found a market niche people.

SnugglySnerd · 07/11/2018 19:35

Well done autumn especially on the singing bit. I hated that part of music exams and it really annoyed me. I'm sure when people take singing exams they are not also expected to play the clarinet for part of it!

SnugglySnerd · 07/11/2018 19:38

Oh bloody hell... a tissue and what appears to be play dough were in the wash I've just done. Thanks kids!

Wolfcub · 07/11/2018 19:44

Well done Autumn

Snuggly I had that at weekend, tissue, Lego and a big lump of blutack. Ds is old enough to know better and must have been reminded 10 times to check pockets before putting the washer on

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 07/11/2018 19:57

Oh unescorted, I'm sure it isn't that bad and I reckon you look great anyway.

So when are we going to see your products in stores?Grin

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 07/11/2018 19:58

And well done autumn

ememem84 · 07/11/2018 20:07

House insurance stuff done. Yay.

Pizza and sweet potato chippies for dinner.

Dh has now opened a gin. And a chocolate orange.

Unescorted · 07/11/2018 20:19

Lipstick in the dryer... Thanks pud.
Curvy our product.... I am just the ideas person...we need proper scientists to do product development. Also help for marketing and branding. Between all of us we should be all here

SnugglySnerd · 07/11/2018 20:23

Have traced the tissue to my trouser pocket which makes is doubly annoying as I can't blame anyone else! The play dough however... I suspect dt2 who likes to put things in the washing machine!

ememem84 · 07/11/2018 20:25

Self applying make up sortnof reminds me of homers make up gun off of the simpsons...

ememem84 · 07/11/2018 20:33

unescorted Ds has been sleeping through pretty much since 10 weeks old. He’s just started not napping much during the day. It’s annoying as sometimes we need that time to get stuff done!

I think he’s just so excited at being at nursery he doesn’t want to miss out. Ds I fear suffers from FOMO

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 07/11/2018 20:42

Yes me too em.
Well maybe we could employ opticians, as they are really good at putting little puffs of air in your eyes. We could use their expertise/science to apply eye shadow and adjust it??

Unescorted · 07/11/2018 20:54

10 weeks!!!!! You jammy sods. Good skills.

It could be a cross between a powder coating machine they use for spray painting cars and the eye puff thing. We could be out a winner. Just need some way of keeping the head in one place. A clamp of one sort. While we are at it could it cook hair too?

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 07/11/2018 21:00

NSD.

Yes I was thinking of a spray gun. We could get one of those robots that make cars and spray, I'm guessing it is just a question of changing the controls.
Cooked hair, you say? Do tell more!

LonelyOversharer · 07/11/2018 21:00

I would wear makeup if it put itself on. I feel like a clown even in tinted moisturiser, so don't bother.

wreck is ok, she's just pretty hectic just now. I pm'ed her as she doesn't usually go awol.

I have knitted a little figure, he's about 8cm tall, probably a Joseph, and he's made of snuggly alpaca!

Hey quite that is a fantastic win! Superb.

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 07/11/2018 21:08

Lonely that was some quick knitting.
I know the feeling, about the make-up, I look at tutorials and think, 'Ooh I'll give that a go', buy the products and they either get used once or stay unopened and then I repeat the process again a couple of months later!
At least when dd1 comes home she can raid it and take what she wants.

Thanks for new thread Quite 💐

Unescorted · 07/11/2018 21:17

Glad to hear she is ok lonely

Cooked hair aka set hair. Possibly a throwback to the 70s.
