Hope it's not too long before everything takes a turn for the better, Essexhebridean.

Two UUs for me this morning: Trevor Sorbie Deep Intensive Conditioning Treatment 50 ml WIBA? No, in the end I just used this as a daily conditioner as it didn't do anything 'extra' for my hair.

I've also used a Botanics Bodycare Nourishing Body Butter with Honey and Grapeseed Oil WIBA? Yes, I wasn't enthused with this product as a body butter but I loved it as a foot cream.

big hug essex - I'm sure you thought long and hard about it and have done the right thing for you.

UU: herbalessence hair dye WIBA? nope, turned out OK but way different to the colour on the box. I know they all turn out a bit different but this is way darker than I wanted so will try another next time.

hoping to get time to have a bath this evening which should finish off some bath stuff too.....

Had a little review of my bathroom cupboard contents today. For those who don't hang out on the DFW board, I resigned from my job yesterday. As I said over there, "I won't go into the reasons, here is not the place, (and I can't anyway "legal reasons" as they say on the TV!) but suffice to say that it was my decision to resign, but that I was not really left with any other viable options."

So, for the next little while money is potentially going to be a bit tight, hence I felt it was a good idea to review the stash to see what I have in plentiful supply, what will need restocking at a time it is advantageous to me to do so (ie Christmas shopping evening at Boots for the extra points) and also to set my mind at rest about the things I will NOT need to be spending precious pennies on in the near future.

Considering that I last listed my stash in January I was pleasantly surprised by how much stuff I have managed to UU in that time. My levels of Shampoo and conditioner are about the same, but of course were bolstered by that wonderful Tesco glitch earlier in the year. Shower gels I have plenty of - I got two large bottles of a nice orangey Avon one very cheaply when they discontinued it, plus have a couple of BS ones which I have bought with Telegraph vouchers. Body lotions, Creams and butters are in slightly shorter supply, but I won't worry too much on that - I'm going to be taking on an Avon round and will give one of theirs a try when I next need to buy. I'll have another product to recommend to my customers then too! I reckon I have enough facewash to see my through the majority of next year. Likewise hair styling products. Toothpaste I have several of - I tend to buy two at a time in Poundland or 99p stores as I like Pearl Drops or Arm & Hammer advance White. All in all, for the first tie in months I'm thankful for the stash, rather than cursing it!

could you get them for constructive dismissal?wish I'd known about that years ago when i felt I had to leave a job!

good luck in the future anyway

Thank you so much everyone for your lovely comments and wishes. It means a lot to have so many people rooting for me! xx

Someone posted an Avon catalogue through my door. Had a good look through and ordered:

case and heat pad for hair straighteners.

Need both as lost the case on holiday and am using a biscuit tin lid to save burning the carpet. £4 for both so a bargain, no? And not toiletries per se.

Evening all,

Seem to be having a bit of a run on the UU front, two more to report:

John Freida Brilliant Brunette shine shock - wiba - yes, love this and it lasts forever!
Pascal Marabito body lotion - this was wombled from a hotel so can't buy again even if I wanted to (which I don't!)

Hugs to you EssexH, hope everything works out

Enjoy your evening, xx

Hey all,

Good luck to you, EssexH.

1 UU for me: Radox Moisturising Shower Gel. WIBA? Yes, nicely scented, moisturising and cheap.
I'm currently using my last shampoo and shower gel, which means I'll have to think of restocking. I've recently paid off all my debts which have been hanging over me for a couple of years (yay!) but I've found that I keep eyeing up more expensive things than I'd normally get. I'll have to rein it in or I'll be back to square one...

Big hugs Essex hope everything works out for you.
Two uus to report BS cocoa butter shower creme 60ml WIBA? Yes
Charles Worthington stay smooth protection spray WIBA? Yes leaves my hair really shiny.
