All I can say is OMG :eek::eek::eek:

TBF, lots and lots is DH's (most of the sun stuff, all the after suns stuff, probably the ene stuff). Sarily Ithink some was his mothers...she died in the 90s :eek:. I never met her, and yet, I'm preety sure some of this sun block was hers. Maybe the hair stuff? I don't remember the spray thing on the hair mask.
The dilemma is whether to through or try using it...:eek:

LiR - must have something in the air yesterday, as my haircut didn't go as well as normal either. It's a bit shorter than I normally have it. Probably my fault, we were having a good old gossip and I kept making her laugh. I suppose I'm lucky at least it's even! :rotfl:

Used a Sex Bomb ballistic last night - I'm getting through the Lush stash at a rate of knots now - and started off a sugar scrub (that'll only last a couple more uses). Finished off a sample size Avene serum and moisturiser.

WIBA? Sex Bomb - nice enough, probably buy it again, but there are other in the queue ahead of it.
Sugar scrub - very scrubby, but not one you can use under running water otherwise it just melts. Think I would buy this again.
Avene serum - no, didn't like the feel of it and it didn't nothing whatsoever for me apart from make my face feel a little tight.
Avene rich moisturiser - it's the one I use normally and is fab for very sensitive skin.

Think that's about it. Didn't buy a foot cream in the end as I discovered a Fair Trade foot lotion in one of my Lush boxes.

i also picked up a garnier summer body tanner in preperation for baring my legs. it was on offer for about £3 so didnt feel too bad getting it.

OMG glad I don't live near you if you think £16.50 for 10 mins dry trim is cheap,I would have to look like Rapunzal!!!!

Evening Everyone

Last night i decided to have a thrown out session and im quite shocked at what has been binned, let alone the price of it all :mad:

• 4 x Soltan Sun Tan Lotions - they were lumpy and watery and didnt smell great but id only bought them last year and think a few of them were un-opened
• 4 x Intensive Care Aloe Vera Body Lotions - were as watery as well water :rotfl:Didn't smell right either. Mind you these were about 3 or 4 years old!
• Various bits of make-up that were either rock hard, watery, gloopy or dried up
• There was more but i cant for the life of me remember what

On the other hand i have used up -

• 2 x 50ml Coconut Scrub from Body Shop
• 1 x 100ml Coconut Shower Gel from Body Shop
• 1 x 300ml Molton Brown Shower Gel
• 1 x No.7 pack of wipes
• 1 x 200ml Liz Earle Skin Boost Tonic
• 1 x Nivea spray deo
• 1 x 50ml Coconut Body butter from Body Shop

Still havent bought anything since christmas time! :T:j

On a more personal note is it possible and has anyone ever had thrush from any shower gel etc?
I woke up this morning and i think ive got it.
Never had it before and i had a boiling bath last night with a Molton Brown shower gel. Although ive never had this problem before with that gel? Not sure what else it could be. Sorry to divert the conversation!

A couple of my friends report never being able to bath with anything scented or fun of any sort for this reason.

edit: I think you should get it checked and if necessary, treated.

Yeah it is very possible to get thrush or bacterial vaginosis from highly scented bath stuff. Pop to the chemist and buy one of the thrush tablets. They are about a tenner but work dead quick and are in my opinion miles better than cream/pessaries.

Thanks for your advice, i will see what i can find in chemist tomorrow after work.

I just think its odd its happened now as ive been using that same bubble bath every sunday night in my bath to chill me out before work on monday :rotfl:

Might be the water temperature that's caused it - very hot baths are a problem for me despite the fact I love them!
