Frugal Fresian's 2010 Adventures

squizz_2

Hi Fresian I have subscribed and wish you all the best. I'm off to look up the "live on £4k" thread. :A

My "problem" is that I have a lake of exfoliating washes and serum, both of which cleanse and moisturise but shouldn't be used daily... I have enough body lotions to last a year at least :eek: not to mention shower gels, masks etc...still I am going to eke out what I have and will only replace the daily stuff like toothpaste, moisturiser, shampoo etc. and I have already downsized those anyway. I was a dedicated Clarins girl but now a devoted Soap and Glory fan!

I am undecided about Matt Smith....

Love the inventory of toiletries. My friends always describe my bathroom as a minor branch of Boots/BodyShop! Without the stuff I was given at Christmas, I currently have opened:- 11 different shower gels, 4 shampoo and 5 conditioners, so think I may be able to survive a while without buying any. Especially as there are still some unopened ones that I promised myself I wouldn't start on until everything else was used up and there is brand new still in box stuff from Christmas. I've looked for some sort of toiletries challenge but can't find one.

Was going to de-clutter some chocs but have checked the dates and most of them are ok for AGES yet.

Would start tidying Farm but can't get onto FV at the mo.

P.S Doctor Who - I didn't like DT when he first started as I had loved Christopher Eccleston so will give this guy a few episodes. Steven Moffat did Blink and in the trailer for the new guy just before the greatest moments there was something that looked a bit like a 'Weeping Angel' - always thought that episode had been left as if it could be returned to.

Challenge funtimes!

The "Blink" episode was one of my favourites and I'm thrilled that Steven Moffat is going to be doing the writing. Lots of people seem to be going "Well knickers to the new guy, he's just not David Tennant" and he's not, but I think he could be quite good. I saw the interview with him when he was first chosen and he seemed so filled with joy at getting the part....I wish him well :beer:

I noticed the Weeping Angels too which caught my interest because I loved that episode, and I think Steven Moffat wrote the Satan Pit too which is also one of my faves (might be wrong). I always thought those statues looked sinister with the blank eyes...



Thanks for the link... a lot of threads are being "regenerated" so hard to find!!

:rolleyes:
