Ive got to find about 500 bucks in a months time to have my tear ducts cauterised shut as I dont produce tears, now that could get me a waxing, cut, highlights and maybe some clothes.

Just hope I get a job by then.

I have everything crossed for you Sam. In fact, I've crossed that much lately, I have started walking funny!

If ever we needed a bloody miracle it is now, seriously if I could turn the clock back I would have never ever said anything (you know what I mean) because now the only person in strife, is me - financially.

Anyway, onwards and upwards and who knows, the 'job chickens' may come to roost tomorrow because I have applied for loads.

Pay for a pedicure once a month and hair cut every 6 weeks. Other than that I do my own hair colour & streaks and wax my own eyebrows & legs once a fortnight. In summer I rarely wear makeup but in winter use tinted moisturiser for some colour, a bit of eye makeup and always lippie. I almost never blow dry my hair and definitely never use straighteners. I like my wavy hair.

I'm pretty low maintenance. I can go from sound asleep to out the door in less than 20 minutes - showered, dressed and ready to go.

I have botox in my frown lines and brow as and when needed, which is usually every 4 months.

I go to the gym and or run everyday for at least an hour.

When going out I always wear make up i.e. tinted moisturiser, concealer, eyeliner, mascara, bronzer, blush and gloss on lips.

and I still look like s**t
Save the money you spend on beauty, buy a wine box and drink it- you'll think you look much better and still have money left over for chocolate!

I treated myself to a new belt- went out without one this morning as the old one broke - and splashed out $5 on a t-shirt!!!

Going to colour my hair if my painful shoulder will let me.

Good on ya for buying the t-shirt! Does it look good with your new belt?
Too bad that you are in Sydney otherwise I would have coloured your hair for you, always did it for my mum .

I can't quite decide if you've just really insulted her or not.

I have one beauty tip you must NOT try.

The 2 day milk diet.

1.2 litres of trim milk plus 4 serves of fruit and veg.

I got half way through the first day before realising why babies puke so much

Nowt but warm milky coffee in a humid queensland summer, by lunchtime I was seriously spinning, all light headed, blurred vision, hands shaking..... Then the milk was about to come up.... Wouldnt mind but I was driving at the time

My first and last diet as long as I live.

I made a rare effort today and put on some smart trousers, shoes and shirt, probably for the first time in a year.

Conclusion? The trousers have shrunk, but just around the waistband.
