WHAT CAN I SAY ABOUT TODAY?

Not a lot really!I am FINALLY going to pick up my new luggage  today.  (shame I have nowhere to go to use it... YET).I'm also going to buy some more Elizabeth Arden facial moisturiser....for Steve (son).  He has very dry, irritated skin mid-forehead and either side of his nose and I've been getting him to use my moisturiser, and it has helped immensely!  So, I shall get him his own.Then I shall come home and get on with sewing fabric on to cards.  ABOVE:  I saw this on Facebook last night.  It made sense to me.  Gossip just in:ABOVE:  Kim K is...

GOT TO RAVE ABOUT THIS STUFF:

Amanda (bless her) bought me a new lipstick for me birthday, along with some foundation.This new lipstick is AMAZING.I wanted one that had the 'colourstay' ability. I had tried an older version of 'Colourstay' before and it came off fairly quickly, wasn't impressed.But, not this new one!  It is totally different from any other lipstick I have ever used.   It goes on like a paint, you have to let it dry then put gloss on top.  It feels totally different on ya lips too... but not ikkky unless you put too much on.The first day I tried it I put too much on and it felt...

TRYING TO BE POSITIVE TODAY, BUT FAILING MISERABLY

I went to bed in a right royal shitty last night due to my weight gain.There is no way I want to stay in that mood.BUT:   I have Hospice Shop today, and I'm hoping Mrs Smelly Pants is not in fine form.There is a possibility I will make this my last day at the Hospice Shop.  It will depend on how it goes today.  I am back to feeling like I don't want to be there.  Mrs Smelly Pants has ruined my enjoyment of being there.  She is now CONDESCENDING towards me... saying things like "Oh, stand here, I know you want to share the counter".... which just gets up me nose, cos...
