    Did you not have any hand cream in stores Fresian :o:p
    Honestly? No.

    I got the cream as part of the hat box and loved it, best one I have ever tried. My little tube is running out (I would say about 1/3 left) and I have been umming and aahing about spending £4.50 on the big tube when it ran out - this way I thought I was at least getting a bargain :D

    Used up a deoderant last night. I now have 2 good ones (stick-type) and four that i don't like (spray and roll-on). Have decided to use the roll-ons for days when i am not going to work - more time to dry, and the sprays for my feet in the summer.

    I am having to stay away from the shops now (with some vouchers it's a struggle).

    Is anyone else getting withdrawal feelings?

    (sorry if someones mentioned this I've not read thro yet today).
    Just got a message about BOGOF voucher for Dove 'Go Fresh' --> linky
    Not that I would be condoning anyone to go buy some just because it is BOGOF but if you are getting close to running out it might just help.

    I had two vouchers for this, I used 2 email addresses as I love it. I went to Asda who have got them on roll back for £1.00. I bought 4, when I checked the reciept the Dove had come off at £1.88 per item. So £4.00-£1.88-£1.88=24p :T

    I am getting withdrawal feelings... I did lapse and buy a S&G 'Mist You Madly' body spray yesterday (I don't have any body sprays in my stash) and I love the scent... It was also on 1/3 off at Boots.

    I am finding it hard to control myself in Boots, I am fatter than I want to be at the moment, so don't feel like buying clothes. Because of this, I see toiletries as a little indulgence to make myself feel better about things (and smell nicer and have glowing skin etc). The S&G lapse yesterday was because I was upset about something... I must learn to do something else when I am upset and not hit Boots!

    Can I just ask- if anyone has a spare time delay voucher, would they mind passing it onto me if you are not going to use it? ( not to anyone in particular:o)

    I want to buy the night cream of some sort, but don't want to have to spend cash to get the voucher. IM trying to be as frugal as possible and every penny counts :o

    Sorry if this is cheeky :o

    I've got one if you're still interested. :)
