so now waiting to hear how it all goes before we know if he will be in 1 or 5 nights!

Sorry I got mixed up here (it was early in the morning!). Hope it's all gone ok.

Glad I'm not the only Boots addict here. The "worst" thing is when they send you all those lovely Advantage double points offers that you simply MUST use

Oh I know! I don't like it when I buy basics there and get a coupon for something (like £5 off No7 or similar) as chances are there'll be nothing I want that's under a £5 but there'll be things I want that are slightly over.....

In a post recently I mentioned that my downfall is currently eye cream and today I got a Dr Brandt eye cream through the post...yet I have no idea where from! I have a very vague memory of entering something; either a competition or a giveaway of some kind but I can't for the life of me remember what it was and it's really bugging me! Handy, because I do love a nice eye cream, but I'm desperate to know where it's from! Anybody know? I've been googling and gone through my e-mails but I can't find anything, plus there was no information with the package.

I didn't buy it though! That's the main thing

Not had time recently to be here, but just read loads of pages at once.
Managed the following UU's
Bronnley Cornflower shower gel - WIBA - no, the smell was ok but nothing special, and it had little beads of moisture in that were a bit odd.
Aveda shampoo n conditioner WIBA - nope, you get rosemary and mint in your eye and see how you like it!! :rotfl:
Olay 7 signs face wash WIBA - only if on offer, nothing special.

Though I do have the following confessions

nearly out of shower gel, so could have moved onto using some soaps up, but no, I crept into the sin hall that is Body Shop today and went shopping.......
Got Vit E facial wash (justified as nothing to use but a tiny facial bar soap now), Seaweed day cream (nearly out of Simple and lack the funds to buy Boots PnP this month), warming mineral mask (have none), and a passionfruit shower gel. So not bad going really, though I hot footed it passed the body butters (all £5 here)

And I am getting a parcel of Champneys stuff sent to me as 1/2 price and we x have Sainsbury's here. I blame Martin for this one as it was his email that told me about it!!:wall:

Hello! Sorry, been neglecting this a bit although not giving in to temptation and buying stuff so not too bad. A number or UU's to report:

A mini XS Femme perfume - WIBA? no - ok, but nothing special.

Garnier minerals roll-on deodorant WIBA? - yes, if on offer. Did the job and as it stands upside down was less wasteful than some other roll- ons. Have now moved on to a boots spray one.
S&G iFoam - WIBA? Absolutely! Lovely stuff! Not used it before and was extremely impressed. Now got a BS mango one out to use.
A mini Radox shower smoothies strawberry shower cream - WIBA? Probably not - it smelt nice enough but the strawberry seeds were a bit off-putting! :-0
Other than that I am on the dregs of my hand and foot creams so will have to report on those shortly. I am also getting back to swimming again so that should see the death of some mini shampoos, conditioners and shower gels.

I've had a UU this morning of a small pot of Boots Royal Jelly with extracts of Pure Honey Body Lotion. WIBA? Yes, it had a light texture which absorbed into the skin easily and I liked the smell (I've got some more of this though so won't be buying for a while). I was targeting using up this one as it is a small 30 ml lightweight pot that I will be able to decant some foot lotion into for my hols.

It seems quiet on here - holiday season I suppose!

I've had a few more use ups, but just popping in to say that I've got to spend some of my savings from the challenge - my ghd's have died! Gutted.

Fortunately I have an old other-brand pair to use in the meantime, but this seems like a good use of my little savings pot from the challenge - so not buying toiletries has been extra useful in times of (hair) crisis

Now, do I go for one of the special offers that include a free shampoo/hair treatment/serum/other potentially useless hair product along with the strighteners? :rotfl:

Sophy

Have finished another pack of the boring wipes - still plenty left though, so no need to buy again!

Finished off a toothpaste this morning, only another 7 to go :j

thanks,he is home now,they did not take his appendix out as that was fine but removed a golf ball size growth(they don't think is nasty) and the surgeon said he had never seen anything like it before and did not know what it was made of!!!!!

we are all very tired and just waited around the ward for 2 hours while they did his discharge letter:mad:

Used up the Avon Laser Cellulite Cream/Gel Thing. WIBA? Yes, if it was on offer - it is quite pricy but it does work. I've got quite a few firming gels and creams to use up, so there's plenty to use yet
