and this is why i'm having no children!! sorry your day hasn't been all that great i don't mind the elderly as much - we get lots of oldies in my store so i am used to them i guess. but kids i shall never get used to.

just found out some bitch is stealing my specktra pictures! i can't find an email addy on the site though because it's all in symbols! boo!

You know what, I've said for years I'm never having kids, but each shopping trip confirms even more I don't want any. Elderly people aren't as bad, but I don't think it's right for them to be allowed to run away from their carers. If they can't be trusted, like children, don't take them out.

I saw on twitter - I wish I could read the site so I could find you an e-mail address. That's crap.

Sorry to hear that... who would do such a thing??!! Hopefully not a Specktrette!

I agree with you with children crying being very irritating. I hate taking my children shopping, usually go on my own if possible. However, as a parent I would just like to say, until you have children, you have no right to judge parents. Don't want to start an arguement, but you have no idea what it's like to have children, so please don't judge others. Also disabilities, be happy and feel lucky that you don't have to deal with them day in, day out. And if you find shopping so stressful, do it online instead.

Today I got a real surprise - I went into TK Maxx and they had NARS for sale!!!!! There wasn't very much but I snapped up an eyeshadow duo in Underworld for £6.99! Normally it's something like £26 so it was an amazing deal. I will definitely be stalking my TK Maxx more often if they keep getting things like that in..!

 

[PeachTwist]

I do, actually. Not my own, but I've basically raised my brothers since they were born. My parents both used to work 12hr+ shifts and I'd look after them during that time, as we couldn't afford a babysitter and had no other family to help out. Even on their worst days, they didn't misbehave like that. I've even asked my parents and they've said we never did such things. Even now, I do most things as my Mom has been unwell for nearly a year and they still don't act like that.

As for disabled people, I am happy and feel lucky I don't have them, and I have nothing against those with them, however a carer should be able to keep an eye on someone, whether they be disabled or not.

I also don't feel like I should have to shop online to avoid people unable to look after others. I do most of my shopping online as it is, but grocery shopping is the one thing I do in person. If everyone bought food online to avoid these kinds of things, there wouldn't be much reason for the stores to be open.

This isn't a bitchy/argumentative response by the way, my apologies if it seems that way as it isn't intended.

Now that's a steal and a half. I don't even know if my city has a TK Maxx.. maybe I should check...

Yet you think others should shop online. Double standards much don't you think? And don't you think maybe those parents and carers might have had a really shit day themselves, and just because their children screamed, it doesn't mean they don't know how to look after them. I just hate people telling parents how they should raise their children when they don't even have children of their own. And sorry, hun, but you don't have children. You have siblings. I'm sorry to hear about your mum not being well and that you've had to look after your brothers so much, but it still doesn't give you the right to judge and criticise other like you just did.

What an amazing bargain! We have a TK Maxx, but I rarely go there. I've never seen anything exciting in there either. I wonder if I can persuade the kids to come with me some time during the school holiday?


I'm stuffed full of baklava and birthday cake now I got given £25 (with instructions to spend it on a skirt) and a box of Lindt chocs from my parents, a bar of chocolate from my daughter and a pair of sparkly, dangly earrings from my little sister in Australia. Right now, due to the time difference, she and I are sharing a birthday. Her birthday is the day after mine, and since she moved to Australia we now share a birthday for 9 hours each year lol.

I also got 3 great pigments in the post today, bought on Specktra - Night Light, Softwash Grey and Sweet Sienna. I never thought I'd be able to get hold of any of these, but I did, and at a very good price, too I think I'll call them my birthday present to myself.

 

[anita22]

Happy birthday, rockin! Hope you enjoy your gifts... I love Night Light pigment!

 

[rockin]

Thanks, Anita

Any suggestions for ways to wear it would be very welcome.

 

[PeachTwist]

If they're unable to deal with them, they shouldn't have brought them with them. *A* scream for maybe 20 seconds is understandable, but when a kid is screaming for more than 10mins, non stop apart from taking a breath - that's extreme. Any normal person wouldn't allow that. I'm not exaggerating, although you may think I am, however for the 2hrs I was in there it was non stop child screaming and carers yelling at disabled people to stop wandering off. They may not be my own children, but having raised them as much as I have they may as well be anyway. I understand your annoyance with non-parents telling parents how to raise a child, but when that child is going off the wall and disturbing every single other person around them, then I feel it's fair for someone to say something. If parents want to allow such tantrums in their own home, that's fine. But why should other people have to endure it also? I'm not saying all parents are like this, just the ones that are should start doing something. It's the same as if you go out to a restaurant and pay for a nice meal, would you want it ruined by a child misbehaving/screaming at a table near you so it ruins your meal? I, and I'm sure most people, don't, so why should we have to listen to it any other time? It may just be grocery shopping, but I'm still spending my money there.

Thanks, Anita

It goes really well with gold, peachy, bronze or copper tones... I like to use a wash of sheer beige shimmer over the lid (e.g. Naked Lunch), then apply Night Light on the outer half of the lid. Then I add a bronzey or coppery tone (e.g. Woodwinked) into the crease and blend out towards the brow - this really helps the green to pop. I really like wearing it this way as I can easily wear it to work without it looking too OTT. I like pairing it with MAC Margin blush on the cheeks, which is a bronzey peach.

 

[rockin]

Thanks, Anita, I'll have to give that a try. I love Woodwinked.

I also got a Glossybox! Mine came with the gold Illamasqua face powder, a bright green nail polish, Weleda body oil and samples of sunscreen and perfume. Very pleased overall

 

[Anitacska]

I'm not going to carry on with this discussion because it's pointless. While I also don't like children screaming near me in supermarkets, restaurants, etc., I do understand and sympathise with the parents of such children because I've had difficult times with my children while out as well. Obviously you think that makes me a bad parent because I couldn't control them, but since I have the right to go to a restaurant and shops, I have to say, I don't give a s**t what others think. End of.

Happy birthday! It was my younger daughter's party today (although her birthday isn't until mid-August), and now I'm full of cake too.

Thank you

This is confusing, having 2 Anitas lol. The only other Anita I knew (apart from the famous Anita Harris) was when I was in Junior school, many years ago. Now, just like the buses, along come 2 at once!

Can anybody from the UK folks tell me whether the 188SH is really a short handled brush, or if this is the "regular" 188 (which is quite short anyway). It's listed under the "gone" section on the UK Mac site, and I am potentially interested. Thanks guys!
