Good afternoon to you all :T

Used up this morning was an Asda shower gel, used by my son... although I'm sure I might get another go out of it Got 3 more waiting to be used lol.

Sold my phone last night on ebay and although I was going to post RM 1st class the lady in the Post Office said it was effectivley rubbish so my OH sent it special delivery instead. It addad £2.20 to the price of postage but I got a fair bit more for the phone than I expected so I'd rather make sure it gets there safe and sound. Not sure ebay is for me, I'm enjoying the money but not the stress I've just got to try not to spend it on more toiletries... still saving for my bike jacket, chanel No5, council tax etc..... :eek:

I love most of the Britney perfumes! Have you tried the Circus Fantasy one? That's next on my list to get along with the Cacherel Promesse one RebeccaBloomwood mentioned

Yea I got the cirucs one for x mas, at first I thought it was lovely, but since wearing and comparing to my pink fantasy one its not as nice. I have had the purple one too and the blue one. Rate the pink one better than all of them, its made by Elizabeth Arden too. I haven't tried the hidden or believe one though.

Oowh sorry off topic but just realised I have a little medal under my name now!

I'm testing a body cream for boots called yellow, it smells lemony but reminds me of something from my childhood that I can't quite put my finger on

OOOH that sounds nice, I love lemon and have just ate the 2 lemon flavour french fancies Why is there only 2 though?

Absolutely not tight - it's just the common sense thing to do when you realise how much is left when the tube "feels" empty! I'm doing just that with a mini tube of Clinique cleanser at the moment - it's one I really like using so getting an extra WEEK :eek: out of it has been good! (Amazing isn't it - that's just a mini-sized tube and there is that much left inside!)

I only recently started to cut the tube open and was amazed at how much was clincing to the inside :eek: Maybe I should of put it in a bag like QONMW because it dried up after only 2 days!! It made me think that not doing it is like throwing money in the bin when you bin the tube!!

Motorbike... not mine it's the OH's but the jacket I got last summer is too tight. I hate it when they say size 12 but really would fit a size 10 better :mad: So now saving up for a size 14 :T

Was the phone worth more than £39?

Nice one, maybe because you've got over 750 posts? Can you tell I've learnt how to use the multi quote feature? :rotfl:

Just editing to actually say something about toiletries!! I have used my little tub of s&g mini flake away earlier so now I can open the huge tub... OH YEAH!!! And I've decided that when I finish the M&S body butter (that no-one except me likes) I'm saving the tub so if I ever buy another daily smooth I'll squeeze it into the tub as soon as I buy it. Like others have said it's way too thick for a tube and should be in a pot anyway!!

I prefer the pink one too - got a big bottle for Christmas. I had a little tester of the Believe and it's quite different to the other ones - not sure how to describe it!

have decided i reallly need to tan up for a party in March - i have tanning towels but will be getting ready in someone elses house so not practical. if i buy the gradual tan moisturiser tho.......

does anyone know if individualy sealed - unopened - towlette wipes go off (thesse are about 5 yearsold) or will i be ok selling these on ebay to fund my new purchase??

also any preferences (cheapest??). have used johnsons b4 and wasn't that taken. the boots own brand was ok. i assume it is already out sure i saw sun creams last week.

I never knew there was a multi quote funtion until you just said...i've been cutting and pasting...it's been taking me hours!! doh!!

Thats a good idea, it'll have to be my next one though cos i've just chucked that m&s one out...don't forget to cut it open to scrape it all out

Think I'd definitely open one and check, I've had sealed wipes before and they've been dried out when I've opened them. Not worth risking irate ebay customers!

Also noticed my hugge stash of Dentyl clove has reduced a lot. I am now down to 5 bottles, so will have to keep my eyes peeled for bogoff deals on them.
