    Forgot that I've also bought some bargain Dove soap - a two pack of extra oil stuff (or something like that) for 69p in Mr S (on special offer).

    Where is Mr S? I am interested in getting some of the Dove soap at that price, only one pack though:o.

    Went to Tesco today to get some Corsodyl Daily mouthwash while it's on offer, bought the last four they had on the shelf, which adds to the stash but will save me a lot of money in the long run, then went to Morrisons and didn't buy any of the toiletries they had on offer, so yay me, lol! :D

    DP was getting low on his hair gel and thought we'd have to buy some more, but he went to get his hair cut this morning and his barber gave him some that he was promoting for free.

    Hugs
    Sue.

    That was my first thought but on checking Sainsburys website and mysupermarket could not find it so thought I would ask just to make sure.

    Very little on the UU's this week - just some aussie shampoo (wiba-yup, once the stash is gone, its all I will buy in future), and a travel pot of PnP night cream, so now opened the big one.
    Got a garnier mineral deodrant in Boots as only 82 p and they got me by putting it by the queue section :laugh: and a wash in/out mahogany dye as had all my hair cut off (from bra level to neck) and I hate it now........................:sad:
    Need some day cream so off the Boots again Monday for PnP one with 2 more serums while 342. I call this sensible and thrifty stashing :rotfl:

    Another UU to report here - I'm just flying through stuff at the moment! L'Oreal Revitalift Night Cream - WIBA? - No, on balance I'd say no. First jar I had of this I was really impressed with - it smells lovely and seemed pretty effective, but the one I've just used I wasn't so taken with and frankly was glad to see the back of. I've got an Avon rich moisture face cream which was given to my by my Avon Lady Mum to try and let her know what I think of it to carry on with now. On the subject of Mum, she's been working her sales-lady magic on me again! As I reported before my foundation ran out last week and Mum had given me a couple of Avon samples to try. The first I didn;t really rate, but in fairness I think this was more to do with the colour being wrong for me and as a result I was spreading it far, far thinner than you usually would, as the second (the right colour!) is excellent. Anyway, it's on special offer at the moment - £7 plus a free nail varnish, so she;s ordered me one of those.

    On the subject of sun creams, I've got two on the go at the moment - Avene factor 50 and Nivea Factor 50, both seem excellent.
