    Hmmm! And there was me thinking you'd taken yourself off to the naughty step for the last 6 hours!

    Are you sure there isn't anything else you haven't told us??





    ****Will just pop over to the fashion thread and see if she's fessed up to anything else over there!!****

    So, lent is over tomorrow so I can actually paint my toes again and go toiletry shopping. I've not been naughty at all so I'm ready to pamper :D. Not had a bath tonight, pooped after a 14 hour shift. Just relaxing before bed now, sore tootsies!

    Hmmm, we'll let you off this time Tara, since it was such a bargainous shop and presents included. We're watching though..... :rotfl:

    In the last two days, I've used up two mini Molton Brown bath & shower gels that I've had for longer than I care to remember:
    Yuan Zhi WIBA? It's okay but it did actually smell like generic hotel toiletries. Noting special
    Heavenly Gingerlily WIBA? I liked the smell of this one, a lovely warm floral, left a light fragrance after bathing, nothing overpowering. I wouldn't object if someone bought this for me, but I'm not sure I'd actually buy it - I think Molton Brown are rather overpriced to be honest.

    I had to throw away three mini MB hand lotions, as I think they'd gone off slightly and smelled a bit odd.

    Anyway, time to go and slather on the goose grease - sorry body cream oil (what sort of name is that for goodness sake) from my trial. Only another two weeks to go with this one and hopefully I'll have used it all up as well!
