    Scott lass welome back and your avatar looks delish, another of my addictions is cupcakes. Waitrose do some beautiful ones, my fave is peppermint and chocolate but the lavender and geranium one is yummy too.
    So im still up cause i cant stop coughing and can only take certain cough meds with bfing my dd. Gonna see if i king go hunt out anything im allowed to take.
    Returned some bits to boots today and felt quite good.
    So if your after an Elle Ultimate bag there was one in brum earlier:D, not that any of you guys need one eh??:D
    Sold a bit on ebay but have a bit of pain of a buyer, claiming ive sold them fake shampoo? Lol, for 99p do they really think id bother :rotfl::rotfl:. Well ive put in a dispute and if i can find the receipt that should put an end to their rumblings, honestly though i think some folks are never satisfied.

    Just had my shower and sitting here in my DG with a pair of little cotton socks on. My toes are squidging in a morass of Boots Almond, Pistachio and Milk Body Butter (really don't like the smell), but I've FINALLY finished the pot:T:T:T, thank goodness!!

    .............and when I take the little socks off in the morning, hopefully my tootsies will be baby-soft!! :)

    I'm going to do "Slather-my-feet-Sundays"!!
  • I finally finished my never ending tub of Olay night creme last night - hoorah! ...and this morning, I finished a miniature bottle of Estee Lauder Intuition perfume... I am getting some space back in my bathroom (and I smell amazing and my skin looks so clean and healthy). I am enjoying this challenge :-)
    I'm buying No More Toiletries, I'm Deluttering and I'm Losing Weight for 2010!

    I've finished that bottle of perfume!

    I went a bit mad and sprayed all the the remainder on me. Somehow, it was more than I realised, so now I must smell like a Parisian brothel! Oh well...:rotfl:
    how do you know what a parisian brothel smells like????????????

    I had some lovely gifts at Christmas, I enjoyed the Boots 75% sale and then I sorted out the drawer under my bed yesterday. Oh dear.... :o:o:o

    My name is Luxor4t and I am a toiletries-aholic.

    It all started when I first joined mse in the [STRIKE]good[/STRIKE]..I mean bad, bad, bad old days of Boots glitches and Tesco H&B booklets.
    Suddenly I had substantial piles of wonderful toiletries (as well as lots of Boots & tesco points).
    The offers and glitches continued and so did I.
    You know the rest.

    I have designated quite a lot of the Boots 75% sale stuff as birthday & Xmas 2010 presents.
    I have put some bath & shower gels to donate to chapel.
    I know that DD will relieve me of some of the face wipes.....
    BUT
    enough is enough so I'm joining this challenge (and so is DH who never buys any toiletries but will just have to get used to smelling like a flower after showering or bathing :D)
    well done on "coming out"

    I'm coming to the end of one of my perfumes too and finding it really hard to keep getting it to come out properly. I so want to just throw the bottle away but there is a bit too much left in the bottom to justify doing this. Anyone any tips for helping me finish the bottle?
    if you can take the top off add some oil(sweet alomond,olive or whatever you have and use it to add to the bath to smeel god and leave your skin silky,even better if you use a scrub 1st

    I have learned the hard way never to wait till I go away to buy suncream... it is ALWAYS cheaper here. :rolleyes:
    if you buy it at the end of the summer it is about half price in Tesco,put it away for the following year(or winter holiday if you are really lucky!)
