He's the winner. My extravagance amounted to a wee rose.

A single red rode is pretty romantic Wangi and expensive! While Homer was picking up my flowers yesterday, a Polish guy came into the florists and was a mite shocked to discover that a single rose would set him back Â£3.50

C'mon Sandra, don't keep us in suspenders. What was Nelson up to?

Ah romance!
When I pointed out to Mr Soupy that we've been a couple for 28 years his reply was " I wish my fishing licence lasted that long"
He may get a trip on Branson space craft. One way!

We had to bring Valentine's day forward a day as we had to attend a show the kids friends were in on Valentine's day itself.

Day before however we organised our kids to have a sleepover and we went for early dinner to the Kings Wark and then to Ocean Terminal to see a romcom movie (Music & Lyrics). I gave her a card and for a present an appointment to get her eyebrows 'threaded' (not a clue what this means but I had heard she was keen).

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 16 Feb 2007, 10:52

Oh POP, so nice.

Now for THE question.

Where does eyebrow threading and how did it go?

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 16 Feb 2007, 12:33

Offering to watch 'Music and Lyrics' is certainly beyond the call of duty PoP

Don't mention 'threading'. Brings back thoughts of last summer when I gave money to have my eybrows threaded on Portobello Prom (well, it was for Charity) and ended up with a large crowd all gawping at me and some very embarrassing livid red marks on my face for the rest of the afternoon.

She has not been yet as too busy with half term but I will get her to give me a full update and then pass it on. She has been very keen on threading since she saw how wonderful her friends eyebrows were. Personally I prefer watching the 6 Nations.

Yes it would not really be my first choice film but very appropriate for the occassion and there were one or two good lines it. Hugh Grant did a brilliant job of playing Hugh Grant.

I've never heard of threading either and so looked it up on the internet. I don't know where it would be done localy though.

I vaguely remember someone doing eyebrow threading locally, I think they posted about it online too... it was a while ago.

Yes there is a place in town that does it now. I will get the details and post, although not tonight as I am going straight out after work for a bit of Networking..........

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 16 Feb 2007, 15:29

So now we have a thread about threading

Saw a demo on the telly once and it looks nice and quick. Not sure about it being painfree though.

It was here!! but it was more to do with the concept than where to actually get it done....

It was the same bloke who did my threading on the Prom. He is Egyptian and married to a Scottish woman. They live in Colliesdene House and I did have his card but can't remember where I put it. He was very good but very enthusiastic. I didn't think I was that hairy until he wanted to do my cheeks

Has anyone see the Valentine balloons that are somehow tied to a street light that is affixed to the wall of the tenement above Lisa Leslie's?? Who? How?
