Get thee to Dobbie's Loan!  ;)
Chung Ying have this stuff for cheap!

I hear that See Woo (Saracen Street, in the Possil) is even better, but I've not been to that one.

Seriously?  Ok, that's my Monday jaunt, then.

Haha!  I was thinking it must be the trendy new phrase to replace 'on fleek'!

Please tell me that phrase has been abandoned. But my eyebrows were on fleek when I was getting them threaded. I've resorted to doing them myself to save £10 a month.

Don't know what that makes me then because I hadn't heard of it in the first place!  ;D

Gah!  I miss threading!  So much better than waxing, and everything is better than maintaining them myself.

I haven't heard (or read) "on fleek" in at least several months.

Friday 5:
1. I wore a bright fuschia lipstick today and it was soo fhu by un.

2. I was up early this morning so I took my dogs on a long walk and they loved it. I ate blackberries off the bramble.

3. Had lunch with my co-workers and it was lovely.

4. I got to leave work an hour early today! We get to do that every other week.

5. Hubby and I made plans for a meal and bowling on Sunday!!

Hey Lyonaria, you sound really happy again!  I'm glad and I hope it continues.

Thanks Jimbocz! It's been so nice. I really can't complain. And my meds are really helping too. But the change to a good company really helped!!

The BBQ went well. 

BUT as he was leaving, BIL says "When SIL and niece arrive, we'll all go out for a really nice dinner."  I did say, "You do know that's what today was supposed be."  LOL.

Anyways, earlier he had said to my husband the same thing.  My husband said, "We'll just do another BBQ."  He was SO ANNOYED that his brother was still saying the "nice dinner". 

Keep in mind we went to Nando's last weekend and it was a NIGHTMARE.  Finished when the 1 year old knocked my VERY full drink into my lap.  While the 4 year old would be fine, she can NOT sit still for 2 hours while bored out of her mind at dinner.  Plus it's DINNER.  Right before bed.  Kids do not do well with dinner out. 

LUCKILY, my husband has said "absolutely not."  So they can go to their Michelin star restaurant with their 4 year old and enjoy themselves.  We are not going.  WHEW!

If it helps, I was wondering that was well while just reading through what I missed this weekend haha

Was thinking the same and it makes me happy! :D

I'd be like "....are you saying this meal wasn't nice?" LOL at least you're both on the same page that you will NOT be doing this again for them.

KFDancer, you should say to BIL, "We can all go to a nice dinner if your parents agree to watch the kids for us".
