    I love the smell of Nivea soft- it reminds me of summer
  • Pickle My Mum (the Avon rep!) gave me their Rich Moisture face cream to try when my skin was realy dry and it's excellent - only cheap too and a huge tub. I use it slathered on at night and more sparingly in the morning.

    Can't remember who it was that mentioned hand cream for really dry hands - another Avon product Mum gave me is their Dry Skin SOS hand cream - it's incredible, honestly. Most winters my hands get so dry the skin actually cracks - none of that this year though, they're smooth as a baby's bum! :p Mum tends to give me stuff to try and then "harvest" my glowing reports of them for her publicity stuff...well, I'm sure as heck not complaining! :D

    Called into M&S and Tescos this evening - slowed a little by the toiletries section in M&S then moved on, and walked straight past them in T's too! :A

    Don't worry girls I looked but didn't buy yey!!!!! There were no special deals on so no-ones missing anything....

    Does anyone else go online shopping- fill your bag up but not actually pay? I think I have issues!

    Yes, then I think, I don't really need any of it and logout. Sometimes when I return to the website the stuff is still in my basket.:rotfl::rotfl:I've got issues as well.

    Finally cracked my Avon fetish. Some of their body lotions and shower gels irritate my skin so no more Avon for me.:j:j.
    I went away and now I'm back.:j:j

    Have just taken part in paint your nails Monday and am now sporting Essie's Mademoiselle. :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Yes me too:D. Ive told a couple of hoarder friends about it cause i feel i get the "buzz" of shopping but dont have the guilt, i actually think it should be used as a theraputic aid for shopping addicts:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    I think I better join this challenge-I have 4 plastic storage boxes,a small storage room and a whole cupboard of a bedroom fitment filled to bursting point with toiletries thanks to my old bootsing days.I managed to cut down 3 months ago due to severe morning/all day sickness which was probably a good thing for me as it stopped me from leaving the house and saved me money.
    I couldn't manage to get to the boots 50% off sale and also missed out on the soap&glory hatbox but found last years valentines soap&glory set and 2008s xmas soap&glory large vanity case this weekend so i'm no longer disappointed.I have also managed to end up with an OH who loves buying toiletries and will usually buy 3 of what we use instead of 1 so this may not be easy for me.
    Love can tame the wildest
