Some ins - all freebies and wins (see signature) so that's fine.

UU -MIni spray nivea deoderant - the green cucumber fresh one. WIBA? No I really don't like aerosols any more. I like Roll ons.

Hello, ladies.

Two u/us to report: sample size LE cleanser - might buy again as I like the product but it's a tad dear.

Skin therapy eye makeup remover pads - bought for holiday. Will buy again for next holiday as you can take them in your hand luggage, they don't weigh much and work a treat.

In: John Frieda thickening blow dry spray - HG product for me, replacing one I've nearly finished which won't spray any more. I will decant this into the new one once I've made room. 3 for £10 in Superdrug, so bargain.

In: nail polish correcting pen - to help with the nail polish using up. Only 99p in Home Bargains.

I was amazed he could get anything to be honest as we are classed as high earners in the new child benefit scheme(what a joke,only DH has a full time job,I do some part time work but only £2/3K a year:(:(:(I have cover as lots of health problem made it cost effective to join DHs works scheme but we did not include the family.The problem is he was 1st aware of the lump in Nov 09 but the hospital where he is at uni did not know what was wrong and it was only discovered this July (after I insisted he got transferred due to nothing being done)in the one near our home when he had his op and now he is under their cancer team so has to have scans etc here.

pancic in hosptal multi story car park today as steam came out of engine:eek:left it till after scan then when I started car warning light for radiator came on:eek::eek::eek:luckily I always carry water so topped it up but light stayed on all the (slow/long) way home.When it cooled down DH looked and said a clip had come of the hose so most of the water went straight out:eek::eek::eek::eek:and asked did the temperature gauge go up?.............thought I was being clever managing to top the rad up!!!now (hopefully) fixed but engine had sounded rather noisy so maybe another problem:(:(:(oh well compared with DS3's health it's nothing

I have a splutter deoderant at last, should be finished by the end of the week. I also have an in to report - a face scrub from wilkinson realised I don't have one and my skin was suffering from my current bad diet. Not overly impressed by it though, very few scrubby bits but it does leave my skin feeling quite soft and clean so not a complete waste of 77p.
I've also finished a Body Shop sample of handcream - it was ok but I don't really bother with creams for specific body parts, and have decanted a couple of sample sachets of moisturizer in to the pot which are mainly going on my ankles as I seem to have a patch of really dry skin there at the moment.

Hello, I've not been in for aaaaages! No UUs to report I'm afraid. I do have some ins though. All were freebies from my neighbour who was having a clear out. TBS strawberry shower gel and exfoliator both almost full. Tesco henna shampoo almost full. Boots botanics exfoliator and body lotion about 2/3 full. Posh hand cream new in wrapper
These will all get used so it's not too bad. Am 1/2 way through the tub of S&G flake away. It's alright but still don't like the smell.

Love to all xx

Willl have a UU tonight - almost at the end of my Pantene aqua light. WIBA?? probably not - its nothing special IMO.

thanks for the ideas guys, but I had to do minimal begging to be allowed Wednesday off - having been told it might not be ok, I had a text this afternoon saying that the head nurse had spoken to the bosses and it was fine (not that they know why I wanted it!!!!)

Another UU for me.

Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner - WIBA? Yes I already have a back up in my stash. But I am going to leave it unopened for now and move on to a half used Toner by Darphin.

The matching Elemis Cleaner is almost finished up too but will delve into my stash and use another product that has been there for a while.

Just opened Burts Bee's foot cream (Xmas Gift) - haven't tried this before so I will see if I like it.
