Salon Facial

[Robinia]

Have you ever had a professional facial done in a salon? Approx how much did you pay, was it worth it & how long did the effect last? I'd never really thought about it until a friend recently mentioned she'd like one so I'm considering going too - we could both do with a bit of cheering up.

*will now broom it away*

[Robinia]

hehe...you're back on form Vinny! I thought as much about the video, I'd trawled through pages & pages of youtube & couldn't find it. I loved that one tho'...and they say today's models are skinny!

<she puts cleaning brushes in the dishwasher??!
erm, what's on the menu tonight neti? welsh hairbit?

[netibiza]

Couldn't be ar*d to get washed and go to the village, so have eaten Eng. sausage, 2 eggs and chips and a cuppa. Now I'm bored!

[jno]

shouldn't you be putting on your hairnet and be going off to t'bingo, neti?

[Robinia]

it's probably in the dishwasher jno

[jno]

ah, a little rain to lay the dust, save the crops and put out the bushfires, a blessed relief from the searing heat <turns radiator up a notch, pops footwear in microwave>

[Robinia]

oh spiffing jno I do hope it comes this way, it'll cool us down, it's so stifling here in the 50mph breeze.

mood du jour

Any one of you crinklies tried the Protect & Perfect face slap? I've resisted it until now but desperation's leading me to something a bit more upmarket than the 99p counter.

[Robinia]

Eeee bah gum, have a good time Jude. I'll cancel your blue rinse for tomorrow then.....<tut....she's the only one who leaves a tip>

jno just make sure that the pong doesn't drift my way as I sit by the open window in the evening in my puffa jacket & balaclava.

Good morning Biddies - and guess who's got "some" numbers on the Euromillions!! and the winner is in Spain ! unfortunately it's not me! but I may get 10� if I'm lucky!

[Robinia]

morning...<checks mirror....mmm, not even 10 minutes younger>

oh tut neti I was so convinced it was you when I heard 'Spain'. Hope it's gone to a generous soul, how do you say 'Send me 250 grand please' in Spanish?

Thanks Dolly, don't worry, even the swifts were late for me this year, I've seen the first one this morning...hurray!

[netibiza]

Got 9� and some small change, and Robi that phrase doesn't translate into Spanish!

Just been on last shopping spree before Mr N comes home tonight, fancy not being able to spend all the money he left, not even half and I did try' honest!! But have put some away for a "rainy day".

[netibiza]

Help am being ignored in Technology! When I try to clear Downloads in My Docs, it just crashes the computer, what is wrong and how can I a) clear Downloads and b) stop it from crashing all the time,

[Robinia]

never mind neti ...you don't need to go all that way to be ignored, just stay here

...sorry I can't help, no speak technology...

[netibiza]

it's ok, i've sorted it.

Note for Robinia: Have tried the Protect & Perfect - several tubes! Doesn't remove the wrinkles, but does seem to soften the skin and makes you think they are less visible. Same goes for Siana from Aldi - and that's much cheaper but don't know what the long term effect of that will be. Will have to check with Neti next month, whether or not I've wasted time and money!

[shaneystar2]

I still use the Aldi one Robinia not Siana but Lacura It's got avocado or something in it .I have greasy skin and it'sthe best stuff I have found that doesn't sit on my face like an oil slick .It sinks in and doesn't make my face itch unlike that awful Olay stuff I tried .
I did splash out on some lovely Elizabeth Arden foundation recently though which is fab and covers a multitude of sins :).
At 61 I don't hold out much hope on my wrinkly bits improving much now and my fortune is made albeit a raggedy arsed one as my old Mum used to say . I still do the old cold cream and hot flannel routine though followed by toner which does help a bit .
Hope you are all OK ..I have been garden bashing .Got my brothers gardener coming round next week to see if he can sort out the big work for me .
Have a nice time in Whitby Jude ..toodlepip for now folks ,have to cook :(

[jno]

ha, that sounds good marmoset - doesn't do anything to your wrinkles but makes your eyesight blurry so you can't see them...
