Hey EH, if you like spa type smells, the Champneys range in Sainsburys do a seaweed bubble bath (think they do a shower gel too). That is really nice. I have to put in the bathroom cabinet otherwise I'd use it all at once!

Thanks - I've had a couple of bits from that range and loved them, it's definitely on my list of stuff to try when I next need to buy!

Since January ive only bought body scrub, toothpaste, mouthwash and curl cream. All of this were things i needed as i had run out. Im so surprised that this is all ive bought. What a lot of money i have saved.

Hi everyone - it has been a very busy week, so I'll need to catch up on several days worth of thread Luckily I've been too busy to buy anything, since I've only finished a Palmolive deod. My brief moment of everything finishing beautifully is clearly over, and I'm back to neverending products again :rotfl:

Hi everyone :j

I haven't been here for a while because I've been busy decorating and getting gloss all over my sofa

I've bought a cheap vit e face wash from Asda and some mouth wash, both needed..... kind of.

One thing I've finished is my M&S shea nut body butter. I know a few thought it was plasticy and I understand what you mean but I would use it again. It soaked in lovely and left my skin nice and soft. (getting de ja vu, think I might of posted this already) I've started an M&S honey and milk body butter which is ok and a bit more creamy but not as nice as the other one.

Right I'm off for a soak in the bath after all my hard work and a read of my book (True Blood book 4, going ok so far) Because it Saturday I get to use my S&G stuff Will be back later for a catch up, hope you've all been good and not tempted by some of the glitches

Forgive me for I have sinned

I went to Boots today and got tempted by a section down the back,where they had a load of reduced products. I have been putting together a basket for my daughter for when I next see her (she's away at Uni) and saw some reduced styling product (James Brown Heat styling protector) and a Sanctuary Bidadari Shimmering body dust. They were reduced to a £1 each. But.............I knew this thread was bad for me! I also ended up buying the 3 for £3 cosmetic pads offer. I am annoyed,as I normally buy really cheap ones from Wilkies! Oh,the shame...So I ended up spending £5 in there,sniff.

Am I forgiven?


Thank goodness I don't like Body Shop stuff! This thread would have had me scuttling off to try everything you girlies rave about!

Hmmm......well you ought to have lines really, and be sent to bed, but as the items you bought were partly for presents (and GOOD bargains, too!) and part useful (the boots cosmetic pads are so much better than the cheap ones you'll never buy anything else now I bet!) I think we can let you off this time. What does everyone else reckon?! (Anyway, no point sending you to bed at this time of night - you'll be going there soon anyway! )

I forgive you SuziQ and I agree about the BodyShop. I see some of the glitches and think "thank god".

Can I spend my Boots voucher on anything No7, like a pencil sharpener or a makeup brush? I might buy the pencil sharpener if it's wide enough for the s&g pencil.

I don't like it much either, but that still didn't stop me looking.........

PS I didn't buy anything though!!

SuziQ, like EH says I think you've forgiven. Those are handy cheap pressies for your daughter (very MSE) and the other stuff are mmm, consumables - ie stuff you will use, no doubt.

Well done Skaps on spending so little, hats off to you!

With the dreaded No7/Ruby & Millie vouchers, when I've accumulated any of these (buying phone credit eg or odd bits of make up) I've redeemed them against accessories - like No7 cotton/moisturising gloves £6, and a magnifying mirror (£8 I think) - that sort of thing. But a pencil sharpener is a good idea too, or a towards a make-up brush. But only if you need it of course

Morning all,

I want to thank you ladies on here for all your tips. I ran out of shaving foam a while ago so I've been using a conditioner which didn't suit my hair and I've still got loads left.
Then I saw you were raving about superdrug vit E oil so decided to buy some (when it was on offer of course) instead of my normal Decleor and its almost as good.

I went in Boots the other day (gasp) to get some bits that I ran out of and picked up hair dye for my mother-in-law- I put it through as 2 separate orders so ended up with 2 No 7 coupons. I wasn't sure what to spend it on and thought should I be buying any more stuff- ended up getting some makeup to give my sister as a present.

Melonade- I think you can use the vouchers against accessories.
