I got it in Boots - it's in an aerosol about the size of an Impulse can. I always get compliments on the scent!

I have managed to finally finish a Body Shop butter in coconut. WIBA yup, its lush and smells of summer. Also Lush bombs so old I no longer know what they were, tho the one smelling of roses was fab. WIBA Hello? Its Lush - there's the answer.........

Hello everyone and well done for posting your stash podsbird! looks exciting and a fun stash to use up!

I have sinned...I just ordered the Sit Tight cream from Soap & Glory (anti cellulite propoerties) from Boots on the 1/3 off offer. I'm buying it now as a treat for my legs begining to tone up (so cellulite isn't as bad now I would say mild now so an improvement is visible - I wouldn't be too ashamed to wear a short dress bare legged now!) , and also it will have a chance to work before my holidays in July, and all my magazines have been singing it's praises over the mega expensive brands. I will pick it up next week and keep you all updated if it works or now

I'm thnking of using up some of my pale soaps on the laundry gloop suggested on the Old Style board. I'm slightly skeptical that something so simple/inexpensive can handle our dirty laundry though!

ohh that sounds like a good idea - does that involving scrubbing the clothes prior to washing, or just bunging a bar in the machine?

About 2 months ago , I bought a pack of 3 bars of Sainsbury's basic soap and some Washing Soda for this very purpose. Thanks for the link again, really MUST do it when I get back. Would be OK for bedding (yours not animals!!) etc, even if not enough for the mucky stuff!

BTW, the Sainsbury's soap is 13p for 3 bars, but great idea for using up your soapy stash!

I think the soda counteracts some of the sudsiness of the soap!!
