I'm trying really hard not to look but they keep emailing me about free delivery and "look at our lovely delicious body butters only £15 for 2-you know you want them-go on, buy 4 for £30-they'll last you ages-what a bargain-and you can have a free face mask" and so on!!!

I must not succumb!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Oh but I do want to:o

And then I saw the Carrot moisturiser and the old 80s favourite Elderflower Eye Gel........OMG, will this temptation never end???:eek:

Depending on what flavour you like, you can get them for £3 each in the sale. Tell yourself that if they can afford to discount it to £3/butter that they are vastly overcharging you, even at 2 for £15. :A

My lust was only made worse whan I was poking around on Quidco and found 15% cashback on BodyShop orders :eek:

At the moment I don't have enough money in my account to buy anything so I'm hoping that by the time I get paid on Tuesday the craving will have abated somewhat.

I will need some soon and I'm sure they'll have this offer on again, they seem to do it quite a bit. Shame they don't discount the flavours I want to £3. I could justify that without any hint of guilt :A

Morning all,

No major use ups. ONly some sample size Champneys water mint shampoo and conditioner. WIBA - no. Judging by the frizzy mess I have it's a definite no. Smell lovely but no.

Only bought some bits mainly for my gym back - some Elemis Monoi shower cream as I dont have anything and the club's shower gel is so harsh - I think you could clean an engine with it.

See you later.

I think that's all. Oh and I also added a Royal Jelly gift set from my present stash to my own stash, it was cheap in the Boots Xmas sale 2 years ago and I still can't think of anyone who would like it, plus the box is a bit bashed up now. Read that Royal Jelly is good for stretch marks - will give anything a go, not really showing yet so may as well use this now and save the nicer stuff for when I start to show!

Hi Lilian

I have a tub of Royal Jelly body lotion which I adore. I don't know whether it's any good for stretch marks but it smells beautiful and has a lovely silky feel. I will definitely be buying this again .

There's a long way to go in August yet but I've sinned for the second time... I went into a local newsagents just to buy a birthday card and also came out with a £2 copy of Company as it contained two freebies: a mini of Smoothies Tropical Tranquility shower gel and a mascara (unbranded). These will be added to my shower gel collection and my mascara collection . The magazine also contained 10 ml sachets of Tresemme Colour Protection Shampoo and Conditioner.

Oh and I almost forgot to say that I received some nice travel soap in a pouch for my birthday.

At this rate, my UUs and incomings for the month are going to be more evenly matched than I'd anticipated!

I do have some items that are on their last splodges, so should be able to report some more UUs soon.

Have just used up another Corsodyl mouthwash.

I used up my mitchum deodorant this morning - WIBA ? possibly. I didnt like the smell, but that didnt linger too long, and it did seem to be better than other deodorants at keeping my underarms dryish - though i sweat like mad from every other pore it seemed....
Also used up at small body shop passion fruit shower gel over the weekend - washed my hairbrushes with it. I didnt like the smell very much,so WIBA? = no.

just off for a bath,(not working till half one!) so will proably have some more use ups after - Im fairly sure Im almost out of a few other things

I bought some stuff through Quidco from BS and for some reason a while after I had bought it the cashback was denied:mad:I have filled in the form to ask why but cannot see any reason for it(it was only about £1.25 but that's not the point!) anyone else had problems?

Rosemary, there was a thread on MSE about Quidco, apparently one of theie "affiliates" (read middlemen) has gone down the pan and quidco have basically said to customers sorry but we can't honour any cashback due. Peeps are angry with this and say quidco should honour their obligations as people often made purchases on the strength of the cashback promise, as this would work out the best deal. The middleman represented a lot of big-name companies.....I'll go and see if I can find a link to the thread...back in a min

here's the original thread from 16th July....it's very long and I only read a bit of it a few days ago, so am not up to date with everything.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma cos I've just given notice to end my phone contract at end of month to take out an identical one at same price with Vodafone just for the £50 cashback! Haven't done it yey though. Topcashback (no fee) seem to be being recommended, might be signing up with them.
