Beauty Tuesdays

Like most women, I've held a life long interest in beauty.  I've bought all sorts of lotions and creams and I'm not convinced that they're all they're cracked up to be.  I'd love to be able to afford the more expensive ones, (the kids shoes come before anything!) but I can't so I have to make do with all sorts of rubbish I pick up on the supermarket dash!

Each Tuesday I'll post a Beauty-on-a-budget recipe from my many home made potions...and before you think I'm an earth mother, wearing flowers in my hair who eats her own produce from the land...I'm far from it!

My au-pair's a dustman...well she's not really... she's a ho!

My au pair Miriam , is a beautiful sultry girl from the Slovak Republic or Slovakia as it is most commonly known. Most of the girls that have lived with us either come from Slovakia or the Czech Republic.  I've chosen them in particular because they have the "family values" that I want for my family.  I know that I can't tar everyone with the same brush, it's just that it has worked for me. However...Miriam is the exception to the rule.  Miriam is sensual; Miriam languishes; she loves burning candles and incense sticks. She loves long, bubbly baths with big fluffy towels.  Miriam walks the dogs in stilettos (how?), and loves my red lipstick (on her!) Miriam loves MTV.  Miriam loves raiding my wardrobe, and Miriam loves men...all men! As was usual for a Sunday early evening we had all settled down to watch a movie. Mimi was in bed and the boys were snuggled up on the sofa with BH.  Ben , (22 and stunning!), was on the other sofa, with his laptop researching with
