    Oh I knew there was something else. I was looking for something int he hall last night when I found a brown cardboard box. Opened it up and found the freebie I'd got with a Lush order a couple of months ago - four bath bombs and three small soaps. :eek: I'd totally forgotten about it.


    I want a freebie!


    Does one regularly get them when buying on line? I never buy online. I like shops, and lush is in a town quite far away so limits the temptation (we only really buy bombs and bath melts) ...


    I really like supporting high street shops, even good chains, but hey make it so easy not to.....

    I also found a box of wax strips last ngiht which I tried to use, but they were so old the wax wouldn't soften, it was just so brittle :eek: No idea how old they were.

    Oh no, I have some wax strips I bought and have since decided to try and sell on e-bay. I bought them 3 1/2 years ago but don't want to try selling them if they'll be no good :(

    Teabythesea, I hope you took the dishes out first :eek::rotfl:.
    I'm feeling pretty grotty tonight and my skin has not only erupted, it seems to have produced blackheads all over my chin too. I have a nasty head cold so I think I'll go and have a nice soak. Give my hair a nice wash and deep condition (I'm opening the John Frieda conditioner tonight so I'm hoping it's not phlegm like like the other sachet I used recently. See you soon ladies, have a nice evening.

    I buy nearly everything online these days, with all the codes and glitches it works out way cheaper. :D
