    I've used up a S & G Hand food and have another almost empty one in my handbag WIBA - Yes it's a good consistency and smells nice.

    I've almost finished a body butter, a shower gel and a foot lotion i think one more application each and they'll be done.Although when i think somethings almost gone it seems to last forever.:cool:

    Totally off topic, but...
    My nails have started flaking this last week so have cut them down quite short and am going for a dark polish tonight, maybe blue or very dark redy black.
    So have mine! Not enough cuticle oil I think -even though my hands are constantly being slathered in lotions and potions!

    This is sooooo true, since dd ive become irregular and now am always getting caught out. I use to come on on a friday at 1pm every 4 weeks for 3 days (sorry if tni) , now its whenever and however and so much more painful, i was told periods got less painful the more kids you had, but i thought maybe my husband would think i was taking it a bit too far if i asked for another one:D:rotfl:.
    I was fine before DD, but I'm in utter agony at times now. I'm only every 3 month-ish (I, too, envy those who know exactly when, down to the minute! :p) though, so it's not too much to suffer :o

    morning all

    ive used up the last of my avon planet spa foot and elbow cream, WIBA yes it was lovely so rich and creamy (its a cocoa butter) lasted ages and i was quite liberal when applying it - i was stingyer once i realised how good it was and i wouldn't need so much to do the job, i have other foot creams in my stash so wont be getting it yet but think that will be my 'regular' foot product once my stash is used.
    used a couple of sachets over the weekend so the stash of those is going down nicely:T

    PYNM, nails are a pale apricot colour - Sunnin by Sally Hansen

    have a good monday all

    I LOVE that Avon foot cream, it's great and smells lovely!

    after throwing out the dove leave in conditioner(WNBA as it smells awful and the pump stopped working:mad:)I started the James brown free from magazine one at the pool last night,now my hair is as flat as a pancake and straight instead of curly/wavey depending how it feels like behaving on the day:rotfl:WNBA,think I will go back to the tressemme which I find really good and use at home from huge bottle bought when bogof:j

    Snipped... I really dislike that treatment too, did nothig for my hair!
    I never get periods now I'm on the depot, it's like heaven :)

    I've still got a blissful body wash in my stash so lookng forward to using it now you've said it's lush :D

    You lucky thing! Does sound like heaven! I'm looking forward to using the No7 bath soak, hope it smells as good as the body wash!

    Finished off a hairspray and a vanilla body spray today, not that fussed about either of them tbh, much prefer the Lee Stafford (I'm a total Lee Stafford fan!) or John Frieda hairspray.

    I used up a shampoo today and finished a shower gel yesterday.
    Used a no7 voucher to buy some clear varnish today, also found a small clearance section and found reduced immac shower cream £2.45 for the big tub which is usually £10 and the smaller tube for 78p.I do use these so bought them.Hubby wanted a body scrub so tricked him into buying the soap&glory warming body scrub hehe.
    Also did a PYNM today with maxfactor disco pink polish from the gwp-it's nice even hubby commented on it.
    Love can tame the wildest
  • **off topic** I was wondering about that - I always used to get pain before and during but ever since DS i could go without even knowing it was there (if it wasn't for the obvious).

    sorry............ back on topic.............

    Maybe a fourth child would do it then, mmmh dont think Dh will be convinced though :D

    Hahah! In 6th Form, I used to come on at 11am every fourth Friday during double French Literature!!
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Lol! I'm like that - always every 4th Tue at 10am. I start to worry if even a few mins late!!!!

    Back on topic... I've been having a lovely pamper session this evening and feel very refreshed! I've put some perfume on too that I'm trying to use up. Does anyone else do this? I'm only going to bed!

    Used up something else today! It was an Aveda Foot Relief. WIBA? This is my dilemma! i love it, but even without the huge stash I'm wondering if I can justify £15.50 on a foot cream or whether to just use my body butter on my feet?!?
    Lol i was like this too, half an hour late and i would be worrying that i was too young and not far enough along in my career etc:rotfl:
    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Quick post - very productive 'using up' morning for me. Sitting proudly in my bathroom bin are an FCUK Pure Body Moisturiser (the one in the tube), tube of Olay First Effects (best moisturiser I've ever used, love it!), small tube of Hand Food and sachet of Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. This feels like a good day! :)

    I sometimes put perfume on before bed - its OK!

    IKWYM about Aveda foot relief but I'm trying to use up about 1 zillion tubes of Scholl cream my mum bought me (works for Scholl) so I may never need to buy any Aveda again (cries).

    I quite often wear perfume in bed I find it relaxing a bit like lavender:)

    thrown out half bottle of another dove conditioner I found in the cupboard,nails v short now after 3 broke so painted tham with ySL nude colour that looks clear with 1 coat,hate short nails as useless to open things:(

    I sometimes wear perfume to bed too!
    The tampon fairy doesn't visit me- I wish she would. I have a huge box of tampax in the cupboard and I can't even use them. They pop straight out (sorry tmi!). I'm on the coil now so very very irregular. I always used to be regular, though not quite as regular as some of you!

    Lots more housework to do today and then I have a date with a tub of moisturiser as I feel so dry!
