i had to go drs as it is so itchy, it looks like rasied wheals across my tummy adbomen and chest. almost looks like ive been scalded. its slighty under the skin on my forearms and thighs but not as bad. i was pretty sure it wasnt contageous but it was just the soreness and itching that were driving me mad. Dont know what caused it and as you said i probally never will i just want the itching to stop

Camomile lotion would stop the itch or sudocream might help. It will go away but you'll probably have to be patient and the stress it's obviously causing you won't help. I remember being in tears at the doctors and while he was really lovely to me it was so obvious he wasn't all that interested in my rash problem because it definitely wasn't serious/life threatening. And every hour feels like 24 when you're waiting for a rash to disappear.

Finished some products today
Alberto balsam strawberries&cream shampoo-Ok to use, smelt nice and was only 15p from a boots reduction a while ago-WIBA-No because I still have 7 bottles to get through
Body shop raspberry showergel-WIBA-No because I already have enough s/gel to get through
Colgate maxwhite toothpaste

Popped into boots today for some corsodyl 342 on so got 2 corsodyl and 1 dentyl clove.

Anybody know if boots exclude ruby&millie brushes from their exchange policy.They are still wrapped in the packaging but I've lost the receipt.I have had some bodyshop brushes recently so won't be using these -is it worth taking them in?

I can't believe how fast these threads go, I can't keep up at all.

At the weekend I did a full inventory. Previously I only had toiletries and perfume, but now I've added essential oils, makeup and candles. I also worked out what would be a reasonable amount of something to have.

Sooo, in total:
Toiletries 48 items (19 reasonable)
Perfumes and oils 37 items (12 reasonable)
Makeup 69 items (23 reasonable)
Candles 46 items :eek: (3 reasonable)

I had no idea I had so many candles. Okay 30 of them are tealights (I will never buy a bumper pack of 100 tealights ever again, waste of space) but still. A lot are left over bits that still smell nice so I've bought some wicks on eBay so I can melt them all into one and use them up. Oh and guess what I did on Saturday? I bought a candle! Durr. It was one of my favourite brands and half price...

Makeup is pretty ridiculous especially considering I never wear any. Most of it is 10+ years old. I should throw most of it away but I have a problem throwing things away which aren't used up (see candles above). I have been practicing with an eyeshadow and found a lipstick that goes well with it so will try to wear them and also try to throw some bits out.

I use tealights in the bathroom

i use tealights in oil burners...I love them. I also love candles...when did they become toiletries?

I'm not counting my makeup, and I've just rejected a mobile phone from my search because it comes with free makeup.

Oooh i hope you feel better soon, your not taking any medication or been on holiday recently have you? I have had a simillar experience a few years back, mine looked like weals (sp) my dr thought it might be a drug interaction, but we never actually found out for sure why it happened, so painful i thought it was shingles:o

Yeah I bought them for my oil burners but then stopped using my oils so much. It's taken me years to get down to 30 and I hate clutter, I hate having so much stuff. So I've included them in my file as a reminder to only have a sensible amount.
