They had the little Vaseline Lip Therapy tins in Watford yesterday (blue & pink), these are usually at least £1.99 elsewhere.

Forgot to mention the Nair Wax strips - facial and body, 16 strips per pack for facial.
Make sure you check the box for contents; the first one I picked up was empty. (As discussed before, this happens a lot in £land with small, boxed products)

Also make sure you check where you place the strip. The facial strips work really well.... as I discovered when I took the skin off the 'cupid's bow' of my lip! Ouch!
They are £2.29 on Amazon so it's a decent saving.

If you put a thin layer of lip balm/chap stick over your top lip it stops the wax sticking to your skin and removing your lip along with the hair! took a few painful experiences before i worked that one out!!:D

Do you think water from my Brita filter is OK, rather than de-ionised water? Sorry if it's a dumb question and sorry for the slight thread hijack.

Mine didn't like it. You can de-ionised water from B & Q for about 50p.

These were 2 for £1 in Chippenham today.
And I finally found some Floriography! :j:j One solitary box tucked away right at the back of the facial wipes. I am one very happy bunny, as it looks and smells beautiful, plus I've been looking for it for WEEKS :rotfl:

Just a quick mention for the Mini Melt cookies in tubs. 14 cookies that are not mini at all but quite sizeable. They look home-made and taste delicious, I got the cherry and coconut ones, they are soft and crumbly rather than crisp. Lots of coconut, not much cherry.

The 'posh' Bloomsberry Cherry and ChocolateCookies were a bit of a disappointment. Several of the cookies had no cherry or chocolate in them at all and all the batch was very dark brown, almost burnt, resulting in hard, tasteless cookies.
If I'd bought these in Harvey Nicks I'd have been livid, which might explain how they ended up in Poundland.

I agree - they aren't nice, and mine looked anaemic rather than burnt! From the blurb on packet, I expected far more choc and cherry than the hardly visible tiny bits (if lucky!) They are far too sweet, too.

I will look for the mini melt cookies next time I go....

Weight Watchers Lemon & Ginger cookies. I'm not following WW but I love their biccies!:j

Tango shower gels, in the same fruit scents as the drinks. Lemon smells especially good and should be very awakening!

Still no Venus Fly Traps

It was a bit underwhelming today actually.

I bought a pack of ten Kodak AA batteries for a £1. I put them is the salt mill this weekend and am going to test if they last as long as other batteries.
