Something I made myself (and a bit more packing)

We're off out for tea tonight to celebrate my pal, Liz's birthday. She made me this amazing net bag for my birthday so it seems only right to use it in her honour. I knocked the dress up from a vintage curtain I found at a jumble sale. The fabric is far too fabulous just for cushions.

The both bangles were charity shop finds and the fringed Urban Outfitters necklace cost me 50p at a car boot sale, the £30 store tag was still attached, bargain!

Thanks for the interest in my holiday packing. I've sorted my toiletries out today:

• Soltan Once - Factors 30 and 15
• Soltan Once facial cream - Factor 25
• Aftersun 
• Lush Jungle solid conditioner and Karma shampoo (great for handwashing clothes)
• Nail polish and eye make-up remover wipes (not very green but space saving and spill resistant)
• Solid crystal deodorant
• Lush cleanser
• Sudocreme (for treating sunburn, insect bites and spots)
• Hand sanitiser
• Mozzie repellent (The Indian version is much cheaper and effective so I stock up when I get there)
• Small tube of toothpaste (Very cheap to buy in India and ayurvedic, too)
• Razor (I can buy more if needed)
• Cotton buds
• Dental Floss
• Tweezers
• Scissors
• Lip Balm
• Wide toothed comb
• Contraceptive pills

And just in case you thought I was a total philistine here's my holiday reading pile:

There's a decent book exchange in the village so I'll be trading this little lot in once I've read them, probably after a couple of weeks. Have you read any of these? What did you think?
