Well, that was an expensive nail varnish!

Are you sure that you should be allowed out unaccompanied? Mind you, you resisted buying matching shoes ..........

Shhh, don't put ideas in her head

phoenix put the car keys down now !

Love it phoenix. My DH would call that Mrs Gambol logic!

Love it!
Similar totally innocent frolics to be known as 'Doing a Phoenix ' in future
Good to know I have someone to blame now!

OMG phoenix I totally agree with MiniMouse you should not be allowed out alone. That was very expensive nail varnish. maybe you could dye your hair to match!!!

Iñ my defence, I realised that 2 of the jumpers that I still trot out each winter were bought before I met Mr P in 2001

But phoenix - you're worth it. (Think I Saw that on a TV ad didn't I? hmm!) covers a multitude of sins.

Honestly phoenix what's the point of working your fingers to the bone if you can't buy nail polish to match?!
Didn't they have any earrings? If not, go back next week!

Oh heavens, my earring collection is enormous, but I haven't worn any for ages!

Question, have I "let myself go" by giving up eye makeup (I can't see well enough to put on eyeliner) or am I liberating myself from the hassle of putting it on and then having to take it off again?

Sounds like my sort of shopping phoenix I hope you won't be losing the knickers - perhaps avoid train travel?

Answer to Phoenix's question.

Yes IMO you should continue with the eye makeup, forget about the eyeliner, choose a nice eyeshadow and mascara and make sure you shape and colour your eyebrows. A dab of rouge and a pretty lipstick. You will be a wow and not look as if you have given up on a making the best of your face

You're probably right Nankate , except about the eyebrows. I get them done when I get my hair done, but I don't need to colour them!

Clearly Phoenix you don't have sparse eyebrows like me which I have to fill in with grey/brown eyeshadow.

NanKate I have 2 hedges which need trimming regularly!

Eyebrows what are they ? Mine disappeared years ago

Do you wear glasses phoenix ? Someone told me that if you wear glasses you should put a line along your bottom lid and it will give all the definition you need. I have found it works very well for me.

Well Charleygirl I will send round Mellors from Lady C to trim them for you.

On second thoughts he is a gamekeeper so may only want to rifle through your larder for poached birds.

NanK Was that a euphemism?

I am totally innocent mini. Now I must dash to see the first episode of Lady C, purely for review purposes you understand.

Tut tut Phoenix, no wonder there is no money left for new staircarpet, you naughty thing!
