Now the standard thing in my house as soon as the term break starts is the headlice massacre. Yes I keep up with it during term (daily in fact) but come term break, that first night, I do a major massive nitpick/cleanup.

This time it was just too much. No bugs, but the nits. I would run the comb through and it was PULLING their hair out. I was like WTH? They sort of exploded overnight in their heads. OK fine, decision made - we are all going punk rock.

Out came...

Only Telecom would bore a coax conduit for phone/internet through a 6" sewer line and not realise they'd done it. The problem being of course, that the conduit is about 2" in diameter. IF one does the math they then understand why my sewer has been backing up on a regular basis.

So here I am, there are jackhammers going at the concrete/cement, the floor is vibrating, the cats are freaking the hell out and I have no sewer system, can't use water and bloody hell if I didn't...

Lately, most of my business has been with natural nail care or ball/special occassion nails so I've not had much mojo to do L&P, not even on myself.

Well, that and the fact that I've been working like mad in the yard getting everything ready for planting.

Went to see Chantha on Sunday to just have a play and natter and picking up my brush really brought the mojo back (silly me should have done it sooner I know).

So I came home and went rifling through...

Decided to put this here and not in the forums cos I didn't want my hand slapped. heh

W.T.H. is going on with nail technician training?

I mean, I know CND and EZF offer excellent training (in the UK) as well as some others scattered about, but all these newbies who are training with either beauty schools or other people and its crap. Pure crap.

Props for those who *realise* its crap but how in the hell did this happen? When did crap seem to become...
