    I don't think he really cares what time of year we sell it. He wants it gone so we can finish buying out our business partner as they're starting to have to dos with one another (ok maybe the to dos are more to my husband starting them). Doesn't help my predicament though :(
    when OH starts asking ?s about things and I have a surprize planned I always quote from thr poem the smugglers

    " them that asks no questions don't get told no lies!" he then knows to shut up:j

    nothing to do with toiletries but just need a moan!!!!!

    finally got oH to book a week off work for our 30th anniversary,he won't go abroad as "too hot" in July so I booked tickets for a play in Stratford with 2 nights at a hotel for the beginning of the week,he was then to arrange rest of the time and he said he wanted to go to the lakes(you will understand my reluctance when I say we went for 2 days last year and it was torrential rain and cold)
    ok so far as Stratford on the way north(from Cambridge) however now son no 2 emails and says it is my degree ceremony the day before you are booked to see play in Stratford(he is in Portsmouth!!!!) so am now annoyed with him as he swore the degree date would be in November!!!
    back to OH to say we need to change the holiday to the week before and go south 1st but got accussed of panicking and to leave it to him(my worst nightmare)

    so now if we do go to the Lakes we will be up and down the country (probably in the rain) checking in and out of hotels when i would far rather be lying on a beach for a week in the sun :(:(:(


    think I need to go shopping to make me feel better(only trouble is I am am 2 challenges and it is snowing and half term :(:(:(:(:(:(:

    loopylulu, let us know how you get on with cucumber water, it is my fave toner!!

    I love the cucumber water, finished one bottle before finishing the Liz Earle one. It is so refreshing and even when the room is hot somehow the cucumber water is always cool. I sometimes just use it to cool down.

  • well done on selling your hatbox tara :)

    I just wanted to share that I think I'm in love, with the body shop brazil nut body butter, I've been using it every morning and it's heaven, it smells delish and my skin feels super soft. I'll be sad when it has finished
    *wonders when they will make dressing gowns acceptable day wear?*
    No new toiletries challenge - use up the stash first!
