Hi,



:mad:Aussie colour miracle leave in spray, was useless, off to sis - she may have more luck.

:A

DD has had one of these in the drawer for ages. We both keep getting it out and occcasionally using it because I feel by the name (??why??) it should be good......it's rubbish and smells horrible. I give up, I'm going to throw it away tomorrow now! Some things are just NOT worth perservering with! Maybe I'll empty it out and wash the bottle out..........perhaps the trigger spray bottle will be handy for something else??

Yes quite unbelievable how bad it is that stuff - Aussie colour miracle leave in spray, I bought an Aveda hair mist (dark blue bottle about £12) and last time I had one of these it last years, so will defo not be tempted by any Aussie 3 or 2.

Well as I'm finishing my nights on Sunday morning, I think I shall do another stock take on the smellies.
I have a carrier bag of bananas which need to be turned into banana cakes so I can get the littlies to help me do that whilst sorting through the stash. If I then figure out how to get photos from my phone to the 'puter, I may treat you all to a peek at my stash.
I am feeling virtuous enough to consider buying some more bath smellies because we have 4 bath bombs left and that's it. Mind you, I'm happy without it (I have bought a chocolate and a strawberry £1 each nspa from asda but they are put away for stocking fillers for DD as we bought DS one of his stocking fillers at £2) if I do see them reduced then I will have to seriously consider buying some but will probably hang fire.

DH got confused by me putting the tresemme in the soap pump and didn't realise it was conditioner until mid slimy wash!

Was skim reading and was aghast at the price of fresh fruit and confectionary where you shop:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

OK, will read and catch up with all of you lovely ladies tomorrow. In the meantime, I have to report some SERIOUS Bootsing! In my defence, I have lots of baby gifts to buy for upcoming births, AND my aunt asked me to get her 2 Clinique products to get a free gift in Boots.

So I got about £60 worth of mini mode baby clothes for £18, the Clinque stuff for £45, 4x Ted Baker toilet bags reduced to £4 each (gorgeous - one for me, the rest for the gift stash or eBay) and (the shame) a Soap & Glory sugar scrub - I could not resist, sorry!

And the best bit... I paid for it all with points!! I'd been waiting on bonus points from a pre-Christmas shop, then lost my card, then got a new one. So I wanted to remove the temptation to spend the lot on toiletries and I knew I had those baby gifts to get (and the mini mode 75% off sale was calling me)... but best of all is that my aunt will pay me £45 in cash for something I bought with points! Yeeha!!!

In not so good news, an eBay buyer claims that an item I sent arrived with just an empty envelope (apparently it 'looks like it burst in transit'). !!!!!!!!! Luckily I got proof of postage (inlcuding the weight of the package!) so will be submitting a claim via Royal Mail. Has this happened to any of you? I'm reluctant to think that she's trying it on... maybe I should give her the benefit of the doubt. Really annoyed though... *cry*

I think its impossible. I still ahven't caught up on the days I missed.

FWIW I find it helps being on 40 posts per page....longer pages are quicker to read than loading short pages for me... (for me this is only page 29)

LIR - I might try that.

p.s. any advice on what to do about my buyer would be much appreciated, thanks xo
