OK, trying to read through and comment as I go. Probably won't cover everyone, so please don't feel ignored.
Alice you are not plain. But on the question in general I'll do a link to my favourite 'look at the difference makeup makes' video.
Yay for Gigi, I'm sure you'll be a lovely stepmum I imagine you to be the sort of person who suffocates people with hugs - not in a bad way but a 'this is lovely but I need to breathe' kind of way
Jet I haven't loooked at all the hairstyles, but agree that you should go for one that works with your face shape and hair type rather than one that just looks nice in a picture. You'll need to (scary I know) talk to the hairdresser.
Total I think the S&B shoe-lovers like 'Fly of London' - I've never shoe-shopped on Amazon before.
I really liked District 9 too DeFluff - at the beginning (in the documentary bit) I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be the 80s or if SA is just like that.
Vinny if I had men like my tea it would be strong, brown, and slightly flowery-smelling (Earl Grey). DP has nice perfume/aftershave, and we're going on holiday soon, so I guess it's not too far off.
Ooooh, champagne for Bella! We took some prosecco round last night - bubbles make everything mroe special - ut you're having real champagne!
Alice gets another paragraph - well done on weighing the same now as on your wedding day! I know everyone says 'eat what you like, you're pregnant', but once baby Freddie is out you'll definitely appreciate having eaten very slightly less than everything you wanted
Good luck for the job interview Fanny - are you going ot be the new presenter of 3 in a bed?
Btter that's really lovely of you letting your neighbour have your car when he needed it
Yank enjoy your chilled weekend - and do tell us if you have any other disgusting earwax plugs to pull out!
Sorry work is rubbish Lizzy, if I know anyone else who might be able to make use of your real business I'll send them over
Awww, that's lovely Bella, maybe someone thought it would make DH feel bad for ignoring you for his laptop too much.
