Pssst - do you know about the magazine offers thread? (It's for vouchers / freebies that come with magazines, not the magazine subscription offers.)

There's a couple of good offers on at the moment - I've had to give myself a good talking-to to avoid them.

There are 2 rather nice freebies at the end of that thread (Origins and L'occitane to be picked up in-store). I've just posted an enquiry to ask if they are available in Ireland:)

Evening all :wave:

Where has the week gone??? Well, I've done OK. Finished off a small bottle of Bio Oil. WIBA - no, the smell is absolutely rank! And my stretch marks are so bad, nothing will sort them out However, I have some freebies, some serum which I tested a couple of months back. There is plenty there to keep me going for the next decade

Is that any good? I have really dry feet and often get hard skin from wearing heels so i use Eucerin Dry Skin Cream, I've no idea how much it costs, I've had this bottle for years - someone gave it to me because my feet were so bad. It can be quite greasy but it works really well, I put it on and then put my socks on for bed! But anyway it's nearly finished and was wondering what the S&G one was like?

I have a few footie favourites But needless to say they are all expensive! I love Aveda Foot Relief, £16.50 for 125ml, No 7 Softening Foot Balm, £9.50 for 75ml and Benefit Scandal Sandals. I think that might be discontinued now The Aveda one is my very favourite, but I got the No 7 one from OH's mum for Christmas and it is lovely. I'm not sure which one I will buy when my supplies have run out :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Im quite glad work has been so busy - Ive not been out TO buy anything !!!!

tonight I finished some more things....

* Crabtree and evelyn minty pumice foot scrub wiba? no - came in a set and i dont like it
* Cranberry and Macadamia shower gel from original source wiba? yes, smells yummy !! Have millions of gels to use up first though, and dont plan on buying anything other than s&g after I finish.

got a couple of empty bottles too, so am going to decant the little shower gel pods into those - make a little more room, ALSO I have squeezed a "nair" down the plugholes - though they seem to have blocked and appear to be breathing, so might have to go and poke about a bit for them to go down !!!!

keep it up everyone !!!

oh - forgot to add, if I ever get out to go browse and test my resolve, am I allowed a new nail varnish in a completely different colour to the ones I have already?? Cant wear dark ones to work....

Body Shop vitamin E facial oil, eye cream and face spritz - 3for2 and £5 off = £30 of products for £10... just too tempting. Sorry.

Ooh Tara you are a great shopper. You always get great value for money and lovely stuff too.

I sinned, sinned big I avoided my usual shampoo in tescos, despite the fact it was on offer as i have some unopened still to be used....but then I saw they had my favourite dove triple moisturising bodywash on special offer, 4 for £3, so I stocked up

Ah you can't reproach yourself too much for that. What a bargain and that's something you will use everyday. I think you should be:) not

You'll have to keep me updated, mine is nearing the end so I will have to buy one soonish. Might be worth biting the bullet and sticking to what I know even if it does cost £10.50ish

I finished a 100ml bottle of Molton Brown Naranji hand lotion last night. WIBA? - not this fragrance no. It came as part of a trio. I have the final bottle from that set back - Rose Granati, a 300ml bottle of White Mulberry (my favourite), 2 x 200ml bottles of Elemis Lime and Ginger hand and body lotion (one presently being used), a small tube of Philosophy Amazing Grace (opened and started using but had to buy a tube of L'occitane Lavender hand cream as my hands became really chapped lately and the L'occitane is the only one that cures them!). So no hand cream/lotion for me for a while.
