Part of the point of living in the country - along with having a bigger house for your money and fewer sirens in the middle of the night - is that you get to swan up to town occasionally looking all rosy cheeked and healthy and stand out suitably amongst the sallow skined townies.
Well not lately I haven't - a couple of 8 o'clock in town starts have meant leaving home at 5 in the morning only to arrive with bags under my eyes like cargo trunks and finish up with a whole rash of stress type zits that I should, by rights, have grown out of 30 years ago! Anyway came across some girlies in Selfridges who were doing "threading" they pull out your eyebrow hair with cotton thread that they sort of catch between their teeth and spin - as a result I know have extremely tidy eyebrows ! But I need to go back in 3 weeks for another appointment apparently, oh well, temporary improvement is still improvement...right?
C's first day at new school today - I hope she makes nice friends and her friends have nice mothers as working at home means I am Billy no mates and likely to stay that way. I may have to join the WI!

The eyebrow stuff sounds well nasty ! you will soon be caught up in the village fete and church roof appeal committee's , wont take long , I hoope the first day at school goes without too many trauma's :-)
It does sound nasty - whatever happened to tweezers?
my eyebrows pretty much stay in a nice little arch from years of plucking. good thing is, it doesn't hurt to tweeze anymore.
i don't understand the billy no mates thing. but i do hope c enjoy's school
Pink - Billy No Mates because now I've moved all my friends live miles away and I haven't managed to make any new ones yet - ho hum!
You're destined to be 'Billy No-Mates' for a long time. Any free time you have, will be tainted by the knowledge that some important work is outstanding.
Thanks Tick - you really know how to cheer a person up!
Need pix of the new digs. Hope things are going well for C. Get out there and conquer the WI. Or something else!
Miss you!
