MJ - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DObRTb7NgAw - Easiest glitter nail polish removal. Supposed to work like a charm, I'll be trying it myself.
Sorry for the MIA again. I get so distracted and bleh.
Anyway. Slightly good news this reporting period! Lol
I don't remember the last thing I said about my Mom, but she was told by her doctor to have a Marina coil put in and it has all the side effects she already has and if she was to pull too hard on the strings it would rip out and she could bleed to death apparently. So having heard that we decided no, that wasn't the right option and decided to make an appointment with a senior doctor. Now originally we had one for January but managed to get one last week with a different one, so we jumped on it. He's agreed with my Mom - it's not the right option for her and has referred her to the gyno at the hospital. So now we're just waiting for an appt to become available for that and she should then very hopefully be referred for surgery. She had an appt with Occupational Health today for her work, that doctor is going to speak to her work about her needing to be able to get up and move around a bit more (she works for the ambulance service on the phones, so she is constantly sitting but it's too uncomfortable for her atm) and because her uterous is prolapsing it's pushing on her bladder therefore making her need to pee more than usual because it's not letting all of it out at once. Anyway - so she said she'll speak to them about it and hopefully those changes will be made because she says that she thinks my Mom will have to have the surgery and she will apparently probably be off work for 3-4 months. We knew she'd be recovering for at least 6 weeks, but 3-4 months is a lot. We didn't realise it was that serious of a surgery. But apparently it's important she gets back to work now because if not, when she DOES have surgery - she won't get full pay for being off. So she needs to build her hours up more - it's so insane. Hopefully everything will work out soon though - I'll keep you guys updated with the more I know.
Next on the agenda is Christmas. Basically, it was going to be cancelled. Oddly though, my Grandma has felt nice enough (she isn't usually very nice to us) to let us borrow one of her credit cards. Now naturally we'll pay it all back, just in installments and my Dad (who lives in Canada) has sent over a further £600 for Christmas. In total though rougly, we'll have spent nearly £1200 on Christmas this year, if not more. It's a lot of money, I guess though the problem is as people get older, the things they're interested in are more expensive. In any case, thankfully we will have Christmas. I can't wait to see my brothers faces, they have no idea we were able to lend the credit card so all they think they're getting is a couple pairs of jeans or whatever. They'll be thrilled to see they have the PS3. Haha!
We got the living room painted! It's so pretty, it'll be nice once we have the furniture arranged better and the Christmas tree is up. Will do that sometime this weekend I'm sure. Dining room is also getting painted this week just in time. We'll also have a new dining room table on Friday and I'm hoping to go buy that damn fridge we need on Saturday so we can get some friggin' Christmas food in the freezer.
My friend and I are talking again. We had a really big argument over MSN and really let each other know how annoyed we were and we seemed to have worked it out, which is nice.
I'm currently making a list from MAC for my Mom to get me for Christmas but I really don't know what to get. I want so many colours of eye shadows. I made a post a few months ago asking for suggestions but never managed to get those colours so I'm trying to pick some from there. I definitely want Cranberry and Goldmine though for a pretty Christmassy look. Although I'm wondering if I have a Goldmine dupe in my UD Naked Palette. Does anyone know if this is the case? If so I'd rather get a different colour and get that another time. Also, I saw a look from MissChievous on YouTube - her golden cranberry type look and I saw I'd need Handwritten.. currently though it's out of stock on the UK website .. do you ladies know of any colours similar or again perhaps in the Ud Naked Palette?
I hope all of you are doing well - we don't have snow here at the moment but apparently next week is going to be horrible. Maybe we'll have a white Christmas, that would be pretty.
