I know I am not alone in this feel free to join in....

My hair is a mess and has been for months, it needs cutting and highlighting desperately. I have no jeans and have to wear leggings which look dreadful on me because they are cheap!

I have not bought a new coat in over 6 years and I can only dream of new boots. I daren't even start on the underwear or make-up.

I have spent years since becoming a mother looking like total crap and I cannot see it ending because whenever there is any money it goes on the DS, bills or food.It's a nightmare....sorry I needed to get that out.

I know you feel like you shouldn't spend money on yourself, but even though you're a mum, you deserve nice things too. Money might be tight, but don't feel guilty about getting yourself a little treat once a week or a month. Plan what it is - a lipstick or a top, doesn't need to be expensive if you bargain hunt the sales or discounts - and bloody get it and enjoy it!

It's not right for you to be feeling down about yourself like this. You're important in your family too.

Hi Guys

It's really annoying but I am unable to access page 2 of the threads on here at the moment so I am sorry I have not been able to reply everytime I click 'next' my internet invalid address page comes up!!!! Arrrggghhhh!

Queen Cadbury I manage to look really quite good for interviews owing to my lovely Mum who has bought me good handbag, shoes etc it's day to day clothes and shuffling around Tesco's type clothes that I struggle with.

I am capable and my applications are quite strong (seemingly) but there are usually 5+ candidates and it always goes to someone-else often a person already working there!!!
