    hi everyone, just back from a holibob. Was being very virtuous and then whilst there i was given 2x Dermol shower gels, 1x Demol lotion hand pump & 1x double base gel pump.
    all given to me by a well meaning relative who understands the trials and tribulations of excema. Especially when it's on your hands.
    I did find a new use for aqueous cream - i used it instead of shaving foam/gel. Previously i've always used cheap hair conditioner and this was just as good if not better.
    It's probably already been mentioned here but if not then it may help someone use something up instead of buying new.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    A few weeks ago my eye ws caught by a bath fizzer on the postoffice, in dark green oil and the shape of an apple. here was also a strawberry one. I have no idea of the make, but I stayed strong. I don't know why but I have been thinking about them a lot, more than any lux brand...weird, huh? But today I saw them again in a garden centre. I'm staying strong, but if anyone has tried them and can tell me they are horrid or sickly sweet I'd be very grateful!

    Just a basic UU and 2 small purchases....
    UU - a Herbal Essences shampoo for coloured hair - WIBA - probably not, I'm not really a fan, bought it because it was offer, smells nice but my hair doesn't seem to like it much

    Purchased - a Macleans Whitening toothpaste and a Johnsons shower gel - both from the poundshop and both £1 (both needed too).

    sorry can be too blunt sometimes.

    Haven't a foggiest if it's true, i generally can't use such things due to my excema but that's what would put me off them. :)

    maybe a good idea to print it off and put it in your purse so you can think of it the next time you lust after something.

    i think i need to do that when it comes to chocolate.

    oh i forgot to say, whilst getting a new exhaust on holiday (great start to the holiday i can tell you) i was opposite the lush factory. i did think of you all. I've never owned anything from lush but i bet it's lovely stuff.

    i work 2 doors down from the lush factory. Every day i smell the loveliness on the breeze, calling me to buy more. sigh, i'm buying more products than i am using up.
