    A doctor told me that the best thing for really dry skin on the arms (and so I suppose the legs) is Crisco. That's basically the same thing as Trex, it's vegetable oil shortening used in baking. I tried that for awhile and he was absolutely right, it was cheap and worked better than expensive bath oils I had used. But I was always hiding it away lest some date notice it sitting on the bathroom counter and wonder what in the world I did with that in the bathroom, lol. I eventually stopped using it. But it does work well and is cheap, too. If I ever get really dry skin again that nothing else helps, I'll go back to it.
    Cheapest is sometimes the best.
    I've tried loads of (expensive) heel treatments for cracked dry skin on my feet but coconut oil is the only stuff that works (the solid stuff that comes in a little plastic pot for £1).. I'm sure this has been said before on here? Unfortunately, Boots doesn't sell it, but you can get it in most chemists. It's wierd though, cos it doesn't smell of anything.

    Off to play catch up, but might just read it all again lol.

    Hi Passion, its not just you, everytime I think I understand it, there is another voucher/till beep/glitch with Boots owing them...I can't get my head around it :confused: These people are too good lol, does anyone have an idiot proof guide? (Me the idiot, not Passion :rotfl: )

    That's such a relief YMF, so thanks :)
    I was beginning to think it was just me :o I'm in a permanent daze with them all :confused: (and a bit of an idiot too - see below ;))

    (so much so that Rubes has offered to meet me in Boots and show me lol)

    Hi, would like to post a photo of my hoard as it's so beautiful.

    LOL hotpot4. ..I always imagine babies to be beautiful, but Boots hoards? :rotfl:
    You've got a point though lol, it is kinda cute ;) and as SK said, very symmetrical and ebayesque.

    What's the starting price? :D
