Dave and matt finished worktop 10 mins after we were due to leave for hospital for DS appointment so no tim eto check their work:(as i sit at the laptop I can see a gap above the cupboards of about 1inch:eek:,they filled it with wood on the other side to raise the top to match tiles(not mentioned when the boss came to look before we bought it:mad:)Just waiting to give feed back and hope they come to fill it!

DS now has a date for surgery BUT still won't know till the op if keyhole (1 night in hospital) or open(5 nights)he is going in the 10 days before we were due to go on a sort of touring holiday of the UK(OH to arrange:eek:)so guess that will be off .......don't tell OH but am not bothered as don't fancy living out of a suitcase and lots of driving esp to catch up with a guy he worked with 20 odd years ago:eek::eek::eek:

Fantastic!! Thanks so much for mentioning it. I would have been kicking myself if I had bought it full price.

oooooh!
Might try that myself as I have droppy looking eyes lately from lack of sleep and hayfever.
Is it just with the magazine or do you have to send off for it?

Hi all,

Wow it's taken me a month since my first post... must do better

anyway, I've got my list together and didn't realise how much I've got!

Shampoo x 3
Conditioner x 5
Leave-in sprays (assorted!) x 4
Mousse x 3 (and I never use it!)
Deodorants x 4
Hairspray x 2
Body spray x 4
Body lotion x 10
Fake tans x 3 (used one up yay)
Face wash x 3
Body wash x 3
Bath foam x 5 (only ever have showers, will have to use it in shower instead!)
Face cream x 2 (and 2 mini ones)
Foot cream x 3
Nail varnish remover x 3
Face masks x 4
Hair masks x 2
Hand cream x 2
Toothpaste x 4
Perfumes x 20 :embarasse
Nail polishes x 26
Cotton pads x 2 packs

I've only got one of each make up remover, cleanser and toner, though, although I won't need anymore for a while though. Am running short of face wipes so will refuse to buy anymore until I've used the other stuff up and stop being lazy!

If I do buy face wipes I always go to B&M Bargains or Home Bargains, never Boots, they are such a rip off! I've also managed to only go into Boots twice this month and not bought any toiletries :T

As I've just run out of shaving foam I'm going to use conditioner as I'm told it works fine

Hopefully will have some use ups this month as well!

there's a choice of three items, eye bright, bad gal liner and something else (can't think for the life of me!) and they come free with it - no mention of sending off. I'm a subscriber so no choice of what lands on my doormat - may have to buy another copy! :cool:

I really must post my list up at some point, I have it written down so will try to remember to do it before the end of the week.

Rachel, the other one is a concealer stick. I'm a subscriber too so hoping to get the concealer. Maybe we could start a swap club on here for them!

I'm a subscriber too! Hoping to get the eye bright!

[QUOTE=mineallmine;33383581I don't think I'll set a monetary amount only because I need:
- scrub - will probably go back to Dermologica its about £30 (I know but hear me out) - its last ages about 6-9 months. plus my skin likes it. I'm wasting money faffing around with my skin.

Did you not buy the offer on mycitydeal.co.uk the other month? You paid £4 for a £15 voucher to use against Dermalogica products - which is my excuse for having already broken 'the pledge' on 1st June! I had this voucher and the website didn't actually sell anything for £15 so I ended up paying £7.60, including postage, for the starter kit for sensitised skin. If I didn't use the code in June it would have expired. I will try not to buy anything else though!

I have nearly used up the Liz Earle cleanser I got free with a voucher in the Mail on Sunday a few weeks ago. It was only the 30ml size. I have lots of other cleansers so should be fine without buying more. Unfortunately I am having a nasty breakout at the moment - I suffer from acne, rosacea AND ezcema on my face, lovely combination, not! - but have never really found anything that helps.

Have you tried Tesco Vitamin E facial wipes? They are 28p for 25 wipes and work just as well as much more expensive ones I have tried. They are not drying either - worth a go for 28p!
