    Just one use up for me today. A pot of Elemis PCMC. WIBA? You bet, this is my HG face cream as I have combination skin and need something light to counteract the oiliness. I have half a tube that I took away with me and at least another pot in my stockpile. I remmeber I opened this pot up in December so it's lasting me longer than it used to. Must work as well. I went to a retirement do last Friday night with people I used to work with. Haven't seen any of them for at least 11 years. One guy asked my age and said I'm looking good. It's all down the PCMC ladies. x
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I've missed a stage in this...is this the guy who was Mr Peck on the cheek?


    :rotfl: no - he went. gave up waiting for him to make even the slightest hint that he was interested in me as anything other than a medical directory !! this is another one.

    Used up a handwash, but still plenty left in stash.

    Bought some large oval cotton wool pads 50 pack and cotton buds (200) in Morrisons yesterday (not sure whether these are actually classed as toiletries) but at 1/2 price of 30p for pads and 18p for buds thought it was worth buying a couple of each to top up my stocks as I don't have that many of these and use regularly. Managed to resist the 1/2 price face creams, though I did admit I looked but managed to convince myself there was none that I actually needed.

    finished a scholl cracked heel cream,WIBA you bet and already have (2) as it is on offer at tescos(£2 off)it really works on heels and toes,mine were awful after long walks on the beach on holiday.

    I was soo good in tescos and resisted all the naughtie foods on offer:Aand have actually lost a few ?grams.......not into "new money" here,the parts that make up a kilo!!!!now 82.5:)

    had a WAG moment last night,went to a concert wearing white pants with white heeled mules and bright pink toe nails:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:so unlike my usual look(even had a white bag)...had actually forgotten I owned the mules as so long since I wore them......I am not a "pink" lady since I had my colours done as autumn

    morning girls - calling on your collective wisdom here :A i've now got some lovely painful blisters on the soles of my feet from walking the 3 miles to work in a pair of sandals yesterday (owww!) and a knot/pulled muscle in the back of my thigh. Anybody have any solutions? I'm thinking the body butter and massager will be out on my thigh tonight as i need this gone by Saturday but don't know what to do about the blisters (also need to be gone ASAP!!).

    Trudi - i think your right to be wary, it would be lovely for presents like that but if the tantrum is anything to go by, it could be a warning sign? if it continues, it might be best to make your excuses and leave ! hope it was just a once off from him though :)

    My sister has come back with another bagfull of Benefit goodies for me :o so now have refill of all my powders (which last forever anyway!), new moisturiser, foundations, new Sugarbomb powder etc...Now, considering monies in pot - do I have to put full price into the pot as they are freebies :eek: lol, it's a good dilemma to have!

    Have a lovely day ladies xx

    Opened large pot of Botanics scrub in shower. Now I know this is 4 years old, and it did smell a little bit odd - but seemed okish, so I am using it in very generous amounts! Noticed hubby finished his Ted Baker body wash - thinking about decanting one of my stash items into it, he'll never know....??

    RoshyDoshy, use compeed (from chemists) on your blister but make sure you follow the instructions. It acts like a second skin and keeps the blister clean and soothed underneath. Good luck
