Oh, Jo - good luck with the 100 day challenge.....I used to have loads of products/make up, etc too- then I did the "shop from home" challenge - I put only one lot of each (e.g. shampoo, conditioner, bubble bath, shower gel, soap, perfume, moisturiser, body lotion, etc) out, and put the rest in a cupboard. Then, when I ran out, I would go to the cupboard and "shop from home". Because they were hidden away, it was like a treat! Also, I found that when I had loads of stuff out, I couldn't see what I had, so wouldn't use it and would buy more!! Now, I use all the stuff, and haven't had to buy anything for about 2 years now!!:D:A FLY FIRST, KNIT LATER :A0 - [STRIKE]

Thanks for all the suggestions for pink lemonade. I thought I might as well make it myself, so I am going to try all the suggestions, and see how it goes; there were also a few nice recipies online, so it is going to be a bit of trial and error I think! Have just picked up ds from nursery. He was so excited when I got there, as they have an incubator and eggs, and three of the chicks had hatched today. He was so excited and fascinated by them....it was lovely. On the way home in the car, he asked me to stop at the supermarket, to buy some eggs, so we could have chicks at home!!! How on earth do I explain to a 3 year old that it does not really work like thatI think this is going to have to go down in the memory book that I keep for the children
Very funny but very sweet! I hope you are all ok. Have a nice afternoon x

Right I have just about bottomed the bathroom, wet wiped the skirtings sorted through the basket of bottles/lotions/potions on the shelf at the back of the bath.

We need a programme of using things up as well lol Still got the mirror and window to do but it is loads better. Another dot joined up
