    Finished an Elemis Lime Blossom cleanser. wiba? Well, I do like it, it does the job well and smells lovely, but have another 1 in stock, then several other cleansers to use up as well. When my stash has gone, I want to return to 'high street' beauty shopping instead of bl**dy QVC, so probably won't buy this again.

    Finished a toothpaste today! Can't believe it! Don't think I've ever finished off a toothpaste properly before! Have eaten far too much chocolate today too. Not good!

    I haven't eaten chocolate for 6 weeks. Today, had a creme egg and a portion of m&s melting chocolate pud, and am sick of chocolate already!!!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I haven't read back today, sorry :(

    Have started a by Terry sample of moisturiser that feels lovely when applying but now feels a bit greasier and is peeling a bit :( I think it might have been a better one for harsher weather. I finished a couple of Dior samples reently, the new one essential serum and a lovely moisturiser. I have a ''thing'' where I feel space nk type toiletries, or those from the kind of counters only in the''big london stores'' feel more luxury, but I think the Dior stuff was as good as any of those. I'd like to think when finished with the back log I'd check and compare prices and possibly buy again.

    Bronnie, only 3 days till your hols, are you getting excited? :)

    I am very excited now, tara, can't wait!

    Feeling like I'm running out of time though as working Mon and Tues night and promsed to take DD to Chester tomorrow for shopping and lunch. Tues morn is taken up with hairdresser and cash and carry shopping for work. Still most things organised ready to pop in the case and a pared down super-efficient toiletries and make-up kit all organised!!

    At least DD will be at home so don't have to think about all those horrid last-minute house things like emptying the fridge, washing out pedal bins, hoovering round etc etc:)

    Bring on the sun!!!:cool2:

    You'll get there Bronnie lol! You sound very organised, and it helps that you're not leaving the house empty.

    I have done no prep at all for this wedding on Tues, still have to pluck brows, tint brows and lashes, shave legs, do fake tan etc etc etc. Eeeekers!!! Right, off to bed now, nighty night xoxoxo

    LOL done all that anyway last Thursday, waxed and plucked to within an inch of my life! Had a couple of sunbeds too. (I know, I know they're a big no no! :o Only ever have a couple before a holiday and always cover my face and decollete with a towel).

    I should go to bed early too. (00.55 early LOL!!) Got to get up and out tomorrow if we're going to fit everything in!

    Night all!

    Just a quickie - I used a Clarins HydroQuench face mask (just a thick moisturiser as far as I can see) last night that was in a gift set my sister bought for me for Xmas. Didn't think much of it at the time but this morning my skin is lovely and soft so it must have done something. A little bit goes a long way too so I think the tube will take a while to use up.

    Also found a small bottle of Eternity by Calvin Klein last night so will use this up for nice smells next!

    Naughty girl!!! :eek::rotfl:I've never used a sunbed, I would probably burn to a crisp. I have pale skin so have to completely avoid the sun.My tan is always fake, and I have been through every one on the market before finding a nice subtle one.

    Hope you get everything done today xo
