    misery is spending all morning filling in your sons student loan support and looking for all the relevent bits of info to send:mad:

    happiness is finding the bag of Lindor eggs you forgot about :)

    sickness is what you feel after eating all those eggs by yourself:eek::eek::eek:

    No use ups over the weekend, but I did by some oil for oil cleansing.

    Which one are you using, and how are you finding it?

    I haven't used it yet but I bought a rosehip oil. Just for a bit of variety really. I'm on the dregs of my jojoba.

    Had to buy a conditioner as didn't have any in the house. Got a pomegranate one and it's rubbish. Will post the make later when I've checked upstairs.
    I'll bet you it's the alberto balsam one. I'm not mad keen on their conditioners either. I much prefer the tresemme but the bottles are so darn big!

    Yep Tara - its the SAME one !!! I think if I have two more baths, and completely cover myself in it each time,(like I did that time when I was still sticky the next day!) it will be gone....

    Cheated last night and opened the daily smooth from my hatbox - mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

    AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

    That's better!

    After pontificating over the most MSE way of restocking my P&P, DD and I trotted off to Boots today, with me clutching my £25 gift card, Advantage Card and extra points vouchers in my hot little hand, to buy the P&P set for £31.

    This was going to be a very MS purchase as Kaz has offered to help out, thus off-setting the cost of the serum which I don't use. What potentially could have been a £40 outlay for me, was actually going to be a money-neutral spend :T
    with lots of extra points thrown in for good measure!

    Went to the ACM first and DD and I both checked the offers, although no further P&P deals thrown up. Headed off to the counter. Quelle disastre! The £31 set was completely sold-out.

    Oh! I didn't see that one coming. :mad:

    Now what? Watch this space Kaz!

    Not sure where you live Bronnie, but Bath Boots has lots if you're anywhere near

    Pah - call that a stash?? !!!! ;)

    welcome !!! :D

    Im doing really well with using things up lately - must be all the baths Im having and various body butters/lotions ;) almost halfway through a load of others, only thing that seems to be never ending at the moment is that bloody botanics stuff STILL !!!!

    given up on that bloke - hes taking far too long, he cant be terribly interested in me at all - last conversation we had was to ask me about a problem with his horse, and did I know a saddle fitter - to which my answer was something along the lines of "am I the yellow pages now??" told him what he wanted to know and ended with "Nice to know I have a use"... and got back "Im not using you,Im not like that" - yeah right..... lol !!!! !!!! be interesting to see if he asks Natalie about me tomorrow when she goes out to see his pony... bet he doesnt !!!

    well done everyone - there WILL be space in our bathrooms !!!!

    Stupid men! So dense!

    Have used up a S&G Daily Smooth, would definitely buy again, love it, love it, love it! Makes my skin so soft and smells lovely!

    Also finished off a 'similar to' perfume (iyswim), it was okay but not great.
    I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]
