    NO Tara don't do it,cheap smells is an evil place that destroys our resolve with too good to miss offers(this is why I have a stash of enough french perfume to bath in)

    Just had a lovely shower! Used my herbal essences shampoo & conditioner. I have the body shop banana set but theyre horrible for my hair so used them to shave legs and underarms! Used the rest of a little green scrub from Lush and some sanctuary gel. Just mouistered with the coconut body butter from the body shop!
    Was it the shimmer coconut body butter that was free with a spend of £15 at Christmas?
    I absolutely love that stuff! It is so so nice. I ended up with 4 at Christmas through the BS glitch and gave of them away as gifts, wish I'd held on to them now as I don't really like the apricot one I kept for myself. I can't get enough of the coconut one and mine's nearly done! :eek:

    In other news, I am currently sitting with a home hair dye on which will hopefully (if it works!) save me in the region of £65 this month! I haven't used a home hair kit for about 8 years and I'd forgotten how much hassle it is (I have quite long hair)! Will be worth it though if it looks ok.
    Will use up a sachet (OR 3!) of 'Aussie 3 minute miracle' (of which I have 7!) when it's done in the hope it won't look frazzled!
    Wish me luck! :p

    So unhappy!

    I went to my house (which is for sale, my ex-husband is living there, long story) to collect some of my remaining posessions before the divorce etc gets finalised and to my horror there was another suitcase full of toiletries and hair products..........................:eek::eek::eek:
    Just as I thought Iwas getting down the stuff I moved in August there is so much more.

    Some of what I can remember, I haven't looked closely, is

    6 x Dove deodarant (I bought 4 on Friday)
    64 sachets of moisturiser/cleanser/face oil
    12 tubes anti aging serums (various)
    15 small pots boots hydroquench, all half used.
    9 packets facial wipes (bought 3 on Friday)
    4 cans mousse
    2cans hairspray
    6 cans shine spray (all half used and I don't like it)
    A bottle of Tommy Guns dew drops (so excited as I can't seem to find it anywhere):T

    So, my expected date of using all of my stash by Easter 2010 is now Christams 2010.

    I was starting to feel good, but have had a relapse:(

    I failed yesterday! I was in costco and they had a gift pack of Aussie mega shampoo, conditioner and 3 minute miracle AND a a really pretty pink scarf for £6! was a bargain i couldn't refuse!

    Going to purchase a home hair dye kit this week, had planned on going to the hair dressers but can't decide on colour yet, if i go dark may as well use a semi? Blonde or Brunette? no idea!!

    how do you know what a parisian brothel smells like????????????

    :rotfl:It's a saying that's always gone around my family, but given the fact that none of them have ever been to France except once to see me while I was living there (not Paris), I can only assume that they don't really know either! ;)

    Of course, it still doesn't resolve who started the phrase, and why! :eek: ;)

    That pack was on sale on Amazon for £3.17 before Christmas, it's lush!
    Superdrug regularly have deals on Aussie, just in case you start to get really hooked on it ;)
