Evening ladies, hope you are all ok. Regarding long lasting nailpolish. From my stash used so far, i would recommend Barry M , with a topcoat and basecoat it lasted 5 days without chipping. 17 has been the worst.

QVC intrigues me. Is it really significant savings buying from it? I have never really watched it....although I do like some of the brands it sells and girlfriend of mine has sugested next time both our men are away we have a girlie day in with nail polish, popcon and QVC.

The thing is, even if the prices on individual goods are cheaper I look at some of your stashes of not inexpensive things that have come in packs with other stuff and think that often you would have been better buying individual items at normal prices!

Anyway, grrr....my shower is out of commission again (roll on spring when all the out side pipe work will be repaired!) so I've just had to cut my shower short. Perhaps its groaning under the fragrant pressure? Anyway, hopped out and planned to spend some time on hands and feet and my fingernails seem REALLY soft. So hoping leaving them for a while will help, otherwise I might need to buy a hardener. Which is such a dilemma in itself, TBH, the variety of available options confuses me and I give up...

Go to your new thread, copy the text in the browser bar (at the top of the screen) and then paste it into a new post here. HTH, can't wait to read it xo

Thankyou so much Tara, you have been such a great help to me,as have you all:) I can't believe how many people have already posted on the thread. I feel so much better just knowing I am not alone and other people have got their shopping under control.

The TSV's are usually good value especialy Elemis, Liz Earle & Gatineau, savings up to £60.00+; buying an individual product could work out more expensive due to their P + P charges.

Just finished Green People's organic children Lavender body wash. WIBA-Yes, Yes, Green People shower gels are lovely, very concentrated, sle and sls free. (got a few more and the couple of baby body washes:j:j) Was tempted to buy some Green People nourishing shower gel but no, I remained strong.

Also finished the remains of M&S Royal Jelly and Rosehip and Vitamin E body butters. WIBA-Yes, both smell gorgeous and are very moisturising . (loads of M&S body butters still awaiting my attention.:rotfl::rotfl:)

Started using a Floracologie body wash I bought in Sainsburys last year (part of a body lotion and body soak collection) It's rose scented and ok.. Will decide if I like it in a couple of days.

Think my shower gel stash will take ages and ages to use up.:eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl:

Evening ladies, I hope everyone is doing well.

I finally managed to finish a hand cream I was sent to trial back in 2007 and with any luck I will be able to finish my pot of foot cream within the next week. It is so old I don't think they even make it anymore!! :embarasse:rotfl:

The next items on the list to bite the dust will be an ancient M&S floral hand cream and a Pantene Brunette Expressions shampoo. Bring it on!!!

ooowh I was very good this afternoon, I put back two aussie 3 min miracle conditioners back on the shelf in TESCO. They were two for £5. Also didn't buy any deodorant that was on offer (Dove, two for £2) as I have two already. Added the money to my isa instead!
