    Just back from my holidays and took with me small sachets and samples that had been lurking.
    UU Neutrogena grapefruit facial wash - it was ok, had a nice smell but have plenty other facial washes to use up first.
    Another UU - Boots Mediterean body wash - nice smelly, good lather, may buy again but think it is discontinued.
    Also started some Boots No 7 GWP products - the eye cream and toner.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • Another uu to report,

    Boots gorgeous feet overnight cream - undecided on this one, it's very thick and has a pleasant smell but I'm not sure it's been all that effective. I think I'm still trying to find the perfect pedicure in a pot, all suggestions gratefully received!

    I'd love to do this but I don't think my fiance could cope! He likes to buy new shower gel all the flippin' time. We have about 6 nearly empty ones in the bathroom right now and he'll probably get another this week sometime...

    I've noticed that Tesco Value 10p Shower Gel can double up as handwash, if you have an empty soap pump then you could pour it in there :) Oh and I have over 20 nail varnishes but I haven't painted my nails for at least a year, anybody want them? :P

    Just claimed two Benefit lippys from Flake, I've given up on trying to find them in store to check which ones suit (because I can never remember which ones are prizes).
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    the support for young cancer paitients have said he can have a grant of £170 but his train fare from uni last night was £63 so the grant won't go far:(

    Oh No Rosemary! How rubbish is that? :mad:

  • Earlier in the week I UU a sachet of L'Oreal Collagen Filler Intensive Anti-Wrinkle Cream and this morning I've UU the sachet of Eye Cream that came with it. Hoping to be able to report another couple of UUs by the weekend.

    I've been watching some of the Chilean mine rescue tv footage this morning - what fantastic news but it made me cry!

    New surname New start!
    Total Debt - [STRIKE]£9999.09 [/STRIKE]now 7633.16 23.66% paid off
  • I have 2 splutterers : Tressemme 24hr volume shampoo and Superdrug Vit E cleaning lotion.. I'll let you know when they are done :)

    Still perservering with a full face of make up to work everyday, much easier now i've got my car and not doing the 40min cross country walk in the rain and ending up at work with make up running down my face :rotfl: have just realised i've begun to slack on the eyeshadow so will have to look that out to ensure that they are being used up.

    Some ins to report: an eyeliner when I was at Asda (either maybelline or rimmel - can't remember!) as the one's I bought from BS are rubbish and do not seem to line my eyes! i do have one still in the wrapper so might eBay that and give the other one to my sister if she wants it.
    2x hair dyes as my hair is at a langth now where I need more than one carton to dye my hair - skin test is done so these will be UU tomorrow night in anticipation of the weekend :) back to boring 'deep frosted brown' as I couldn't decide on what colour to go!

    Rosemary - i hope your luck takes a turn for the good soon as you deserve it, hugs to you and your family

    hope you all have a good day x
