I have a ridiculous skincare habit because I’m so allergic. It only takes one product containing the wrong ingredients and I come out in blotches. Sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas, my beloved rose Face Oil (£68 for 30ml) by organic skincare brand ILA, contains rose damascene, which costs £8,000 a litre wholesale. I’ve tried cheaper brands and burned my face. Not a good look.
In my 40s, I never really thought about the ageing process, but now it’s scary. My eyesight (minus 12) is so bad, they can’t make contact lenses any stronger.
I’m too short-sighted for laser surgery and Lasik (where they replace the lens in your eye) sounds promising, but we’re talking £1,095 an eye.

she has a fooking nerve wingeing about how poor she is.
Yep, this really gives it away; typical Daily Wail bulltulip. Either that, or she's a cretin.
But if it's true then the good news is that despite the economic troubles there is still a market for far-out wacky loony quack anti-ageing products for confused menopausal middle class ladies. It just has to be wierd enough. Think 'Indonesian Turtle Poo Face Scrub' or 'Chilean Seaweed Skincare', tell them it's an 'ancient secret of eternal youth', ship in one bucket a year and mix with cornflour at nearly homeopathic concentrations and stick on a label that says '£75'. Could be a good plan B for some CUK'ers.
Anyway, where do the 'foothills of the Himalaya' begin? Almost any slight rise in the ground in continental east Asia is arguably a 'foothill of the Himalaya', seeing as the Himalaya range was formed by the collision of the Indian and Asian continental plates. That's about a quarter of the hillocks on the planet, stupid bint. Some bloke with a slightly sloping backyard in Pakistan and a little rosebed must be laughing all the way to the bank.
She would know she did not have any responsability in life any more (like the good old days when money were free and plentiful) and I can order her to do whatever i want.
Win - win for all implied.
"Condoms should come with a free pack of earplugs."
"As any self-employed worker will tell you, it’s bad form to ring the accounts department and beg for the cheque. We have to appear fun, solvent and constantly in demand. "
yeah, whatever... When someone doesnt pay me I ring them and then issue them with a rolling fine. That soon shows you can't be taken for a mug.
Yes, but she is probably talking about phoning them the same day she emailed the invoice
"I paid my way, treated friends to films and plays, and often took them out for meals on expenses."
WTF? Does she mean she was defrauding her "employers", or the taxman? Either way, it doesn't seem like the kind of thing she should be putting in the newspapers…
