    If only someone would start a 'no buying chocolate till you've lost two stones or at least until you can actually fit into the clothes you own' thread I'd be laughing:rotfl:

    Not a bad idea! I have been on the bike for the last 3 weeks now at 6500 something calories and no change on the scale :( ... damned Green and Blacks chocolate mini box

    A small UU for me today Clinique Happy freebie. I have another one to UU as well but WNB as the fragrance isn't really me.

    Also came in tonight to find a freebie Olay Regenerist 3 Point Serum on my door mat. I don't even remember applying for it!! :think:

    The freebie frenzy mist must have descended upon me.

    Got very excited this evening when I opened up a new toothpaste and IT HAS STRIPES! Omg, how long is it since I used Aquafresh?
    I'd been using DH's euthymol for a few days but I don't like it and it makes my mouth numb so I went and dug out the new one as I had just restocked.
    My aloe order is arriving on Monday or Tuesday. So excited :D
    Happy weekend all xx

  • another UU to report:

    Lush Vanilla Dee-light wiba? maybe, i love the smell but as the name suggests it is very light, which is great for the mornings as it soaks into your skin pretty quickly. But i have really dry skin, so i need something a bit more moistursing.

    Not bought one single item this last week, but may have to this coming week as my Dove roll on is slowly running out.
    Don't like to get too low on roll ons, don't want to smell the customers out do I? :rotfl:

    Got a splutterer, it's Boots No 7 Tinted moisturiser.
    It's my HG, and yes I am going on Ebay now to see if I can get another one.
    Far cheaper than the stores, and to be honest, I'm not even sure if they stock it anymore in Boots.
    Doing my nails tonight as I am going out on a posh dinner dance, so thats another item almost used up.

    Happy weekend girls. xxx
