    Finished off a Diesel perfume and Nivea deodrant today - probably wouldn't buy either again, I'm not that fussed about what deodrant I use as long as it does the job and is on offer/cheap! And the perfume wasn't that nice really, I bought it in Woolworths so you can tell how long ago I bought that!

    Evening everyone, or morning depending how you see it :p

    I've finished a toothpaste and a shampoo, yipee lol. Not bought anything although I'm seriously considering it to cheer myself up. I got my hair cut today from being very long to shoulder length. Hairdresser was chopping away by the time I'd opened my eyes to dare a look. She didn't check if it was even, the layers are very short... so short round the front I almost look like I've got a long fringe. The haircut was the fastest I've ever had even though the shop was fairly quiet :( I didn't say anything because I was so annoyed that I would of been unfairly mean/rude. My problem now is having it fixed and not wanting to lose any more length, choosing another hairdresser and being fed up that I still have to wear it tied back :mad: Sorry, rant ovver I just feel so fed up, more since I've washed it tonight. On the upside it was really nice to wash shorter hair and it didn't take ages like normal :T

    Oh no, can you go back and complain? What did you ask her to do? I hope you get used to it quickly.

    I suppose I could complain but I'm never too good at it and usually end up losing my temper :o (something I rarely do so I try to avoid it) I asked for her to cut it shoulder length with some layers. OH has just said if I'm not happy in the morning I can find somewere else and have it fixed :) He just doesn't understand, bless him :rotfl:suppose he's right though. My hair has an uneven wave to it and it always looks bad after a cut but not like this :eek:

    I might treat myself to a new hairbrush... or a hat... or a wig... or a balaclava hehe

    morning all

    used up the dregs of a bottle of bubble bath (it was an old bottle i'd decanted 2 little bottles of avon bubbles bath into) put a radox one in the bathroom from the stash for using next.
    i had to cut open my tube of foot cream, theres about a weeks worth left in it so it really brings home how much id have thrown away before reading that tip on here so thank you op of that tip:T its the best foot cream ive ever used so im determined to get every last bit used up.

    going out tonight so got plans to layer fragrance and use my angel shower gel, body lotion and perfume. the body lotion is a teeny tiny little thing so ill probally be reporting a use up tomorrow;)

    must also do nails today i've been meaning to since monday where does the time go? also want to redo roots and get hair looking a bit better.

    have a lovely pampering non spending day all

    I've been Money Tipped!
    This morning I realised it was long overdue to start using sun cream daily for me again. :( Not sure where my face one has hidden over winter, but I found a factor fifty baby and toddler one which I think I bought two years ago. I slathered hands and arms and face in it and it STINKS. It smells better now, after a few hours, but the perfume element has reallyand truly gone off. I hope the sun protection aspect hasn't.

    Not foot cream pr anything was needed, in fact, while I had my facial my feet where also wrapped in hot towrls and massaged with oodles of cream and they feel so soft my toes are slipping around next to each other in my shoes.

    Bought some Rehab shampoo from Lush yesterday to help combat my problem hair. It's blummin' expensive (£4.50 for 100ml) so it had better work!

    Oh that isn't very nice is it LiR? I'm going to get my lazy bum off the sofa in a minute. Taking the kids out for the day as have my niece and nephew too. We're going to a big local play barn as my membership runs out soon.
    I shall take with me a nice tub of hand cream (well in honesty I'll probably take the nasty manly smelling one as it's down to dregs!).
    Need to get motivated and get things ready though!

    re started some L'occataine body lotion mimosa I think,it was so cold to use compared to butter:eek:
    WNBA as dont like lotion and the smell did not last at all,put on an hour ago and cant smell it at all:(,might save it for warmer weather and open new BB.

    Little sister, after never wearing make up(apparently my fault for leaving home before I could show her want to do:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) has gone for it in a big way buying tons of Clarins red stuff(mega expensive) and had a make over and bought all the products,enough to earn her a free facial!!!
    not sure whether to be shocked or impressed!

    hair needs a trim but am loathed to go as the demon hairdresser,there is only 1 in the village always chops it far too much and then charges me £16.50 for the privaledge!!!am thinking of having it done on holidya in Portugal as the hotel has a salon and can't be much more.
