    I will let you know!! :D

    Well done on your Body Shop restraint btw! :T:T



    No, the straw isn't long enough. Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe I could get a chainsaw and saw the bottle in half - wish it was a tube LOL!

    Can you take top off and stand it upside down on something suitable to catch the dregs in. Leave it overnight or somthing. This is one of the reasons I prefer tubs/jars to tubes.

    Is that the sun hair protection spray? I have 2 or 3 of these and was wondering how to use them up! Would they do as an overnight leave in conditioner?




    I want this!!!!!! No Waitrose here though, phew!

    I have been a VERY bad girl today! I succumbed to the temptation of the Body Shop mega reductions and bought:

    4x lipstick @ 50p each :eek:
    2x 200ml brazil nut body butter @ £3 each
    1x 200ml brazil nut body scrub @ £3
    1x 50ml jojoba day cream @ £2
    1x body focus scrub soap @ £2
    4x 200ml simply purify bath soak @ £1 each
    2x facial cleansing pads pack @ £1 each
    1x nutmeg/vanilla fragrance oil @ £1
    1x 50ml warm amber body butter @ £1

    Plus 10% off and free delivery

    Cost: £20.70


    The shame!!!!!!!!!

    Am going to forget that I saw the £3 body butters.:eek::eek:

    At least you were honest.:naughty::naughty::naughty:. You got a lot for £20.70 (may be I shouldn't have written that.)

    Hi

    I did go into Boots today but there wasn't very much left at all. Nothing that I was interested in so I came out empty handed.

    Did go into Superdrug and buy some of their hairspray for 99p because I have nearly finished my 1 canister (oh and some doedrant for DH)

    T.T.F.N

    It's about a 10-15 minutes bus ride from where I live. I've been there and bought stuff. I don't often go in there and I find it a bit depressing. Mainly go that way for Argos, Staples, Comet and PC World.
