The Wrinkle conspiracy

Yep, I believe there is one and we women are the targets of course. It’s strange – wrinkles have been a part of our genetic makeup since time began; we have been living with and trying to ignore them ever since they invented mirrors. In fact I blame the person who designed the first mirror for all our troubles and I’ll bet it was a man.

Anyway, the fact remains that we are more conscious of those inevitable facials lines now than ever before and the skincare manufacturers of course are raking in the squillions that we girls are spending on their products.  Many of us are being ripped off plain and simple so now it is time to start educating ourselves and being much better informed about what is available and how effective the average, but expensive, anti wrinkle cream really is.

If you just follow that link you will find a site where all the top anti-aging products are listed and reviewed; you can see what you should be paying for them and also how much you can get the same product for on Ebay - which is where many people are buying such products these days.

Just looking at some of them though I am wondering can they also be used to scrub the bath?…

I love a man who can cook

All my sons are pretty good on the tooth which probably explains why my three eldest are turning out to be quite self-sufficient in the kitchen. They haven’t yet gotten as far as actually clearing up after their cooking efforts but there is still plenty of time I guess for them to discover what a sink and gloves are for. 

William, 20, especially has always shown talent over the stove; he lives in Australia now and cooks his own baked dinners and has even tried his hand at making a curry. Patrick likes rustling up different types of cakes and desserts whilst Allan, 14, is a whiz at reheating anything and everything that happens to be lurking in the back of the fridge. He has a cast iron stomach that boy. I bought a juicer a few weeks back so Patrick has been conjuring up all manner of juices – some rather strange combinations and a lot of really delicious one’s as well.

Someday, someone’s daughter is going to thank me on bended knee for producing such talented boys – now if only they could learn how to clear up!
