Aha! Yes, that would make sense, it did feel more like a milk or lotion.zigmeister wrote: »I can't remember who it was saying about the S&G Clean Mary (Eklynne?) not being very scrubby - but Clean Mary is just a facial cleanser, the Greatest Scrub of All is the facial scrub

There is no way I could have resisted this:o
:o:o (and it is that one by the way).
I'm going straight to hell - why is it that the only time I see such bargains is when I'm doing some sort of challenge?!!!! They are 120ml bottles for £1.79. There were only four left... I bought them all. I'm selling some hair dye, perfume, body lotion and clothes to make the money back.0 -
I bought philosophy The Pool Man today - so unfair, I was just buying a skirt in the TK Maxx sale and it caught my eye - couldn't leave it for 50p I'm afraid! I also won a mascara. Other than that, slow progress, working my way through many things, but finishing none of them.

Nearly finished an Aveda Eye Make Up Remover. I think it'll be done by the end of the week. I'm running low on mascara, so I need to check my stocks. Lets face it, there's going to be a huge choice

Can I join in? Better late than never...
Since finding the forum I've had a good sort through, and including freebies I think I have enough body lotion, shampoo/conditioner, hand cream etc to last a year
. Thing is my lovely friend is an agent for a cosmetics company and lets me look through her agent's only handbook, so over the past couple of years or so I've collected a dressing table drawer full of bits.
One way I like to use the small sachets and vials (as well as taking them on holiday) is to slip one in with birthday cards. I get lots for men too, so they don't go to waste

On the subject of dinner again, are we allowed to chat about other things on here? Basically I have mint lamb mushrooms onions and gravy with potato waffle for dinner... I'm using up my other stuff before buying anymore as i'm going home for the weekend!0

OK, haven't got time now to catch up on 7 pages (eek) but will post and say that I was very good today! I was in Poundland and saw Olay facial cleansing mousse and body mousse moisturiser and all sorts of other goodies for £1 each... and I resisted!! With much effort, I might add! But then I went and spoiled it all by buying a box of chocs (which I have now shared with the rest of the rest of the office so I won't eat them all).
Will read everything later, hope you are all being good and resisting all the glitches and Grabbits xoxoxoGet to 119lbs! 1/2/09: 135.6lbs 1/5/11: 145.8lbs 30/3/13 150lbs 22/2/14 137lbs 2/6/14 128lbs 29/8/14 124lbs 2/6/17 126lbs

OMG just sold a voucher (for a shop I never go into) on eBay for 90% of its original value, yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :beer: Shame eBay has to take 10% of it, boo. I am starting a new eBay savings account to see how much I can make from selling my tat (a bit at a time, I am too lazy to list everything at once!). With this sale (admittedly nearly everything I have sold so far has been a voucher from returning stuff without a receipt) I'm over £200 already.
