Glad you found some more bargains

And wow to your schedule

I have enough trouble going to work and doing housework
I would love to hear about the Daisy Scouts (such a cute name

) if you get the chance. I was a Brownie (age 6-10) then a Guide (10-16) then a Young Leader (16-18). I even went to a camp in Belgium with people from all over Europe - it was so much fun

- when I was 16. I do hope your DD enjoys herself. I left Guiding when I went to Uni but would love to start it up again when I have kids (they now have Rainbows for 4-6 yr olds) I can imagine it would have changed a lot since I was there but it does such great things for youngsters, gives them so many options to try new things and meet lovely people.
Hope the B.day party plan is going well? I want one of those Ariel toys, sounds so cool

Also I want a pool (tho I'd be freezing my bum off in this country

)
Also I used to work at Avon UK (production has now moved to Poland). My Dad worked in the QA labs and I did a few weeks there during a summer break from school. Then in my gap year before heading to Uni I worked on the lines, mascara at first then the Glaze Wear lip glosses. It was a lot of fun and the ladies I worked with were fab

Have to say though as my Dad worked there since I was little I never had to pay full price for anything

I loved the staff shop there too, they had bags for about $10-12 full of random stuff.
Hope you get a chance to have a break soon (or will that be in Dec?)
