Awww, poor you, that is so sweet. Have an even bigger hug!!!! :A



It's strange, I never actually noticed as I hadn't been inside a Body Shop for about 2 years as I'd realised it was too expensive... then I discovered Grabbits and the rest is history. :rotfl:

I still have a leetle bit left of my Honey body butter, probably enough to do my decollete in the morning and then I'll pop £12.50 (current body butter price) into my savings pot. Yay!

I used up an Origins Drink Up mask this evening. WIBA: Yes, it is fabulous - but only if it was the result of a major Grabbit! That's £17 more :eek: going in the pot.

Tara are you a millionaire or do you have a really big purse? You seem to have an awful lot of money going in that pot of yours :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It's just being transferred online from my current a/c into my savings a/c (as opposed to being spent on new toiletries)! :rotfl:

And the eBay total is after postage expenses and fees. :T

I've just bought the Lacoste perfume from Asos that I posted on the Grabbit forum. It's for dd's birthday and was too good to resist.
I've been really good, not bought anything at all and am actually becoming quite anal about the whole thing. A girl in Uni today told me my skin was looking good and asked what I used, this was on the day I woke up, rolled out of bed and was on the bus within 10 minutes! All this scrubbing, cleansing and moisturising must be paying off. Isn't it good when you actually use your stuff rather than just collect it? Ha ha.

I just miss home a lot more than I expected. I'm away at uni but done it to be closer to my boyfriend of a long time. I have a little sister and I miss her more than anything in the whole world. The love I feel for her is sometimes unreal she's like, the greatest part of my life and everytime I say her name I have to stop myself from crying. I'd just like to move home with my boyfriend but apparently jobs dont justcome up

Use skype/email/text messages/phone calls to keep in touch. I'm sure your family wouldn't want you giving up uni to move home.

another showergel to add to my 20 or so I already have. BUT it was partly to hide the fact that I was using the Dove deoderant coupon glitch in Boots and might aswell have got money off something.

When I need to buy something extra I buy cotton wool. I counted and I have 10 packs, some open, some sealed, all different brands/packaging. I seem to have this constant need to alternate products so I don't have any empty bottles to report but thankfully I haven't bought anything extra to add to the collection.

Sorry to all of those who are feeling down today hope tomorrow feels better.
I'm sure it's next Tuesday that has the highest sickness levels for the year- I seem to remember it being reported one year that it was the 2nd Tuesday in February?

What's the best thing to do to hide the purple marks left by spots? They still show through under my one step face base (virgin vie- I've one on the go and 4 still to use!). I'm sure I read somewhere that you should use a thingy. I'm very pale anyway. Maybe I could try using the VV version of touche but on my chin not under eyes? I'll experiment on my days off!
DD has creepies so I will be using a fair amount of conditioner on her hair tommorrow and for a few nights after that. I need to get something to poke in the spout of the tresemme conditioner cause it's blocked!
Cheerio, won't manage to get back on here until next week now as I'm off work until Wednesday night. (Unless my computer has been fixed that is....)

evening girls...

Hope teabythesea and completlylost are both feeling abit better now...

Finished off an Avon yogurty body thingy tonight...onto some Cerutti one now... Can't wait to get onto my S&G stuff..

Tonight I have finished up:

Aapri exfoliating face scrub WIBA? :eek: I wouldn't dare put this on my face it's SOOOO scratchy. It was DD's and I used it up on my hands.

Dove conditioner WIBA? I already have. This Dove stuff makes my (coloured) hair amazingly soft and silky.

Australian Heel Balm WIBA Defo! A very effective 'hardcore' product for dry cracked heels (and hands). I'm not going to replace unless I need it though as through a combo of attention from the chiropodist, regular foot-filing and cream and socks, my tootsies are at present the best they've ever been I think:T PS The Boots equivalent is not as effective IMO.

Toothpaste Finally cut open and scraped out the tube I rolled up with a bulldog clip last week!!

Sachet of Guerlain Late Night Recovery Treatment (on hands)

A good evening's work I think!

I've not been on here for ages but I was doing so well... almost used up all my bubble bath and getting through my shower gel so well!!!

But then I wandered into Boots today and was momentarily dazzled by the glare of the BOGOF sign on my favourite Dove bodywash

Before I knew what I was doing, I had cleared the shelf and had wandered to the till, whipped out my debit card, and *oh the shame* BOUGHT A LOAD OF IT!!! 4 bottles in fact!

I am aware I was up for some heinous punishment last time if I did it again so I'm ready for my punishment now.... but at least I will smell nice :rotfl:

teabythesea

Thanks for all your kind words. I speak to her every day but sometimes it all gets a bit much, like everyone I guess! I'm selling some of my stuff on eBay purely because i'll NEVER use it! I'm showering everyday sometimes even twice... *whistle*

I did buy a new facial scrub from Tesco last night even though I have some left. I needed to - I've been using Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub for a couple of years now but it doesn't seem to be doing the job any more. I've got a blackhead and a couple of whiteheads on my right cheek bone which have been there since Christmas (am putting this break out down to trying BE foundation) and although there were more there which have cleared up these ones won't budge. Bought a tube of the Neutrogena one so here's hoping it helps.

I have been using Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator since Christmas (got it in a gift set) and whilst it's nice it's pretty ineffective. x
