:rotfl:I take it cadburys do know about this:D.

They must. Website tells you that the code is the barcode and when you enter the barcode the site responds by telling you to enter again tomorrow. They didn't make packs with codes for Ireland but are still running the promotion here. I won 1 lipstick, hoping for another.

Thanks for that Tara, can't wait to try it! It's £1.22 at the moment half price. Thanks for the review of the Boots creams too, think I will try them when my other moisturisers run out!

£1.22!!! I might get some myself!

Yes, another one here interested to see your comments about the Boots Vitamin E stuff Tara - it is a great price isn't it, and I see that, like the Expert range, it's another that they sometimes put on 2 for £4 making it even better value.

Yes, I got mine on 2 for £4, it is a bargain. :beer:

What did you do with the needle LIR? *curious*

Well done to all those who have shown restraint this week - walked past Lush, resisted glitches, given away their voupons etc!

Right, just finished listing a load of stuff on eBay and am off for a bath shortly (mmm).

A sharp needle can be used carefully to slip under ingrowing hairs and gently lift them clear of the skin Tara. It's painless too as you only slip under the top layer or two of skin. Best to make sure the needle is sterile first though.

Yes, exactly that. Its not the end of the world bu it is annoying, especially when I'm quite enjoying epilating now...because until you've flip the hair up its not a nice clean/smooth finish. I would say the hairs look weaker then before...

I braved an under arm earlier but it ran out of battery before I'd got really into it, but it was not as bad as I was fearing.:o

hello everyone, i am still saying strong and not bought anything again this month. Went to a bigger branch of boots on friday on a window shopping day - thank goodness the one i live with is really small, so many temptations.... but i resisted:A

am at the very infuriating inch left in the bottle with so many things, gets frustrating but must keep to the plan. i reckon i could last until at least my birthday without buying anything (oct). must keep thinking of all the money i am saving, have actually paid off £300 of overdraft in 2 months. first time i have done this in a very long time :j

Ooh LiR, you are obviously a hard, hard woman!
Didn't crack open the sunny stuff tonight. I've decided to grit my teeth and use up the rest of the sun cream.
I now cannot wait to finish the blasted boots baby conditioning shampoo. It's horrid. It's so drying, my hair is like straw- gah!

WOW I'm having the exact same problem since using my epilator The ingrowing hairs are mainly on the backs of my legs and it's making them really really itchy :mad: I've also discovered that it's not a razor that irritates my legs but actually the hairs growing back. The only difference is with the razor it happens 2 days after I've shaved my legs instead of 2 weeks with the epilator.

I just read on your other post that you used it under your arm :eek: I haven't tried that yet but I'll deffo give it a go now... just to see if I can handle it lol.

I'm hating the boots vitamin e moistoriser atm!!! It's too heavy for my skin, doesn't soak in no matter how little I use and my skin is like carp atm too!! I've kept using it to give my skin enough time to like it but it just wont Now I'll have to buy myself some more Simple stuff and that means I have to spend money :mad: Moan over :jThe Asda vit e fash wash is nice though.

and going to put my BS almond body butter in my swim bag to use after I go to the pool too in an effort to improve my skin

don't think I will pmnm as still v short and the Sally Hanson nail stuff is rubbish so thrown that :mad:

I was using Sally H double duty top/ base coat and ended up chucking it. It ruined the finish on my nails and also actually made it easier for the polish to flake/ chip off:(.

Finished a tube of Shine Shock today. I don't use it much, don't know if I'd buy again, but I have more waiting to be used up anyway And I gave away my only No 7 voucher - quite surprised that I managed it, tbh!

Well done good karma will come back to you

Ah well done chick, its quite scary how much ive saved since doing this challenge, despite a few slip ups.

To those with in growing hair problems/ advice is there anything i can do to prevent it? I tend to either shave or wax but do get a few in my bikin line and its very painful (sorry if tmi) but if i can prevent them that would be fab

Have been a bit bad and bought some new toner (only have the one I am using left and it was reduced to £1.97 + VAT from just under a fiver + VAT, so maybe not all that bad), and some eye gel (of which I ran out ages ago), down to £2.35 + VAT from £4.70 + VAT. Those will be my last spends for a while, except for some night cream which is rapidly coming to an end. I may see what all the fuss is about the Aldi stuff...
